Arbi - admit it - you really miss us.

For this itty bitty jab at the itty bitty conference,
...how about an itty bitty thread derailment.

ChooChoo!!!

Perhaps this is some carry-over from Halloween?

Thomas the Tank Engine Trivia - did you know Ringo Starr was the original narrator of the series?

Some other notable narrators have been George Carlin, Alec Baldwin, and as a guest narrator, Pierce Brosnan.

I love George Carlin. The guy just had such a different view of the world. Anybody recall the seven things you can't say on television bit? Classic, I tell ya.

Another goodie, for sure. He always killed me - wish I could have seen him in concert, but alas, I never have.

Derailment moving along nicely, I think...

Where else will you find a discussion of a kid's TV show, and a profanity-laced comedian, all in the space of just a few posts?

I don't think the teams are as bad as ARBI puts them to be, but does anyone here think the Big 10 would go anything other than 0-2 in BCS games again if they do put 2 teams in?

I do... now back to the derailment...

Carlin was awesome.

How many comedians have you memorized their routines, yet still laugh out loud every time you hear them?

...finding a Carlin clip without obscenities was tough...

OSU, really? Based on what? Maybe if they draw an ACC team or possibly BSU, but I can't see Iowa beating the ducks, PSU is unknown due to all the high school teams they played this year, and tOSU has two losses and may pick up a third. Which teams that are BCS possibles would like tOSU, Iowa, or PSU over?

Do you mind? We are a little occupied trashing arbitrageur's thread here...

It is pure conjecture on both parts. We will find out in a couple of months.
