uh, do you know the context? it was a phrase uttered in the "golf commentary" by Tom (Zach) Plott during the setup for the fireball at pub sing on sunday.
i thought it was hilarious...had to drop my stick and hold onto my beer w/ both hands lest i drop it too...
~blink~blink~ Tom Plott is back at MDRF? He was the entertainment director at OHRF the year I ended up leaving right before the start of faire to move to VA. Nice guy, from what I recall ...
Tom left Ohio to go back to work for IRF (MDRF's owners) as Entertainment Director for Ontario, basically taking over Carolyn's job allowing her to stay dedicated to MDRF during the spring and summer, consulting in a more "executive director" position from down here.
When Ontario's run ends, he returns to MDRF as an assistant during the rest of our run, helping Carolyn and Tim on the walkie-talkies while Carolyn's doing Skum. He's usually in garb as Zach Rackham or Dumbe Asse by 2pm, and supports Tim at Pub Sing.
Sigh... had to pass on Pub Sing on Sunday... though I wanted to stay and watch and chat a bit. Too much humidity and no breeze = tobacco smoke haze in that area.
I swear I miss all the funny stuff... At least this year, I'm hearing more of some of the amusing stuff that's going on afterwards.
Based on the picture, I suspect that the pouting person was pouting because he has a mullet (though it may not be a picture of him).
I was amused by the quote on one hand, seriously unamused by the quote on another hand. Jim was amused, but I worry if they make him laugh just as he is ready to sip the fluid. Drinking is bad, breathing is worse.Å
oh don't worry 'bout mr. w-d. he takes ALL mullet jokes personally. Christophe had a field day with him one time last year (of the *two* times wd got insulted).
as for Jim, I got from the Pyrates in pyrate camp last year that he actually requested they keep the golf commentary up when it first started last year. he's not as worried about drinking the stuff as others are. there are some advantages to having had some 20+ years experience at that sort of thing.

I don't take it personally, trust me. I know that my choice of hairstyle is extremely out of date, but I personally like it. It suits me, and I really don't pay attention to [read: care] what's "fashionable". I was at CORF earlier this year and some jack hole yelled, "Hey! nice mullet" and started chuckling. I walked over, smirked, pointedly looked at his balding pate and said "Thanks...I like my hair." His jaw dropped just before I turned and walked away laughing.
To be honest, I was honored to have Christophe insult me twice last year. Seriously. He's amazing and very good at what he does. I love learning new insults and to know that someone would have paid 20 bucks to sic him on me makes me feel appreciated. Hell, I took mental notes on some of the insults for future use of my own. My face was red because of laughing, not embarrassment, sorry to say.
