Time to Cleanse the Karma

Between the injuries of the last month and the arrests of the last week, it is clear that something negative has happened to Mizzou's karma.  As RPT proposed yesterday, in order to turn the karmic tables, it's time to take a page out of the Roll Bama Roll playbook (it worked for them, after all) and unveil some embarrassing admissions and hopefully satisfy the Football Gods into coming back to our side.  I'll go first.  IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS TEAM, YOU BETTER NOT LEAVE ME HANGING.

1. I owned multiple Care Bears when I was growing up.  More, it turns out, than my wife did.  More Care Bears than G.I. Joe's, actually.  (Seriously, you better not leave me hanging on this one.)

2. I am still mad at Johnnie Parker for fouling up the ending of this game, and that probably is not healthy.

3. My favorite movie ever is Say Anything.  If that is not bad enough (and, honestly, I don't consider that bad at all), try this: I didn't actually mind Sleepless in Seattle.

4. My wife has a lot of Lady GaGa songs on our driving-to-work playlist (we commute together), and there are actually a couple of them I don't mind.  And there are a couple of her Rihanna songs that I outright enjoy.

Your turn.  We must satisfy the Football Gods.

i am guilty

1. of reading my wife’s twilight series books while doing business in the little mens room

2. of letting my wife buy our small dog sweaters to wear outside. (I even helped pick some out)

3. of not totally hating when my wife watches her favorite movie, ‘Clueless’. I may act like it, but i have grown to enjoy it.

4. I too, do not hate, ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.

5. of a great, great sin…. I was a husker football fan until the 97 season. I cheered for them in the early 90’s. I wore a 95 National Champions hat. I have a school picture in a Husker shirt. I always cheered for MU also, but it wasnt until that kicked ball game that I truely became a Tiger and left the huskers in my past. For this I hang my head in shame. I was young and stupid and have carried my secret for years. Hopefully this will be enough to satisfy the football gods.

Profess and ye' shall be set free onto the holiest of football turfs

1) My first undergrad party was busted by the cops, I ran through the back yard with a cop chasing, hurdled the 5 foot wooden fence at full speed (perfect form FYI). Two steps down the alley I hear the concussion of a cop hitting a 5 foot wooden fence, in what I can only assume was body first form. I didn’t go to a party again for a year.

2) My wife loves ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, and I watch nearly every episode with her.

3) I like the movies, ’ Fried Green Tomatoes’, ‘Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sister Hood’, and I’ve watched ‘Phantom of the Opera’, without falling asleep or making a snarky comment about Gerard Butler not being very Spartan.

4) I had more stuffed animals than Transformers.

5) I cried at the end of ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’, not just a little. Like the kind you do once every decade. Full on, can’t talk blubbering kind.

alright...will see if I can help us out here

At ages 3-4, I was a model, along with my sister (year younger). We appeared in sailer suits on a cover of a Lord and Taylor catalog….in Japan I believe.

I know way too much about 90210…both the original AND the new episodes. I even recognized a guy from True Blood this past week because he plays a character on the new version

One year in playing Little League baseball, I got three hits all season (and they were all in the same game)

When playing on a team of an all-camp scavenger hunt, I single-handedly lost the hunt and the “Camp War” WEEK-long competition when I went to the wrong base after completing my task

I was on academic probation three times in college…and though I walked in 2000, I did not officially graduate until 2003 (even though I worked two different jobs for the University under the belief that I had graduated)

I cried during an episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” and have probably seen every episode.

Tears during the montage of “Up!” (Understandable on that one since my wife and I are dealing with the can’t have kids bit)

I also teared up during “Toy Story” and the sequel and refused to see three in the theater because I know it will have me in crying as well.

I went an entire season of Little League baseball and failed to get a hit when I was around 10. After one game where I struck out to end the game, I simply dropped the bat and started to cry in frustration and had to be consoled by my coach at home plate. I quit playing baseball after that season, and I’ve only started to return to the game in the last five years or so.

I caused my little league soccer team to lose the city championship

by standing in front of the goal and blocking a kick for MY TEAM. The keeper for the opposition was out of position and would have scored but I was in the way and it bounced off of me and out of bounds, resulting in a free kick. We ended up losing and I was blasted by my teammates.

There is lots of crying in baseball

I cried because I repeatedly dropped fly balls in right field. Coaches decided I sucked so bad, they put me at first. Figured, I guess, that I could play catch; stuck there for four years. Moved around a little but fielded well, and probably better than most after that. Still hate outfield to this day, but I’m much better.

I’m kind of a bandwagon fan too, but in my defence I’m Canadian, and nobody cares college sports there. Seriously, college sports in Canada are seen the same way that college theater is here… people are aware that it exists, and if you know the players you might go to a game or two to support them… I think my college may have won the national championship when I was there in undergrad, but I’m not sure, and pretty much nobody else would have had any clue either.

2. I actually kind of like The Notebook under the “if it made me cry it can’t be that bad” clause.

3. I am a complete and total geek for the Harry Potter series. I am one of those people who hates most of the films because they do a horrible injustice to the books. I regularly have conversations with another friend of mine over HP items.

I once broke up with a girl over a post-card

I was in Europe touring with an all-state concert band when I met a much hotter girl who was a year older than me. I didn’t want to risk her finding out about us AT the airport, and I didn’t want to call her collect to break up with her, so in my 15-year-old mind, it made perfect sense to write it in a post-card.

To make things worse, she COULDN’T come to the airport, but didn’t get the postcard until after I had broken up with her.

Maybe some of us could start an oldtimers club, and let these youngsters get a clearer picture of when life was real and not 90 percent imaginary :-)

Speaking of the other matter, I probably will get emotional if I ever have to have an enema – though I’m not sure exactly what all they did to me while I was out during my open-heart surgery. At that time, other things were more important and, after all, they had tubes coming out of me where there were natural holes and where there weren’t.

I sure like the way everyone responded to this thread rather than sitting around and speculating about what might or might not have happened at the apartments in June. Much healthier to deal with pent-up emotions in a positive way – great idea by Bill C. (Even if it was a borrowed idea, the timing was perfect.).

2. i spend far more time and money on clothing than my girlfriend does.

3. in high school, i broke up with a girl over the phone on new year’s eve, about half an hour before midnight, because i wanted to hook up with a girl at the party i was attending.

4. i sing karaoke a lot. a LOT. i know every word to “ice ice baby” and “walking in memphis” without needing the screen.

5. i really like theater. i was in drama club all through high school, did some in college, and even did the student musical in law school. if you want a really embarrassing, really modern dance way to learn a rule of federal civil procedure, you can check out this video. at the beginning, i’m the guy in black, in the back right. the lines i had to sing were high enough that i couldn’t hit them properly.

Couple more

1). Miss Head owns the original Death at a Funeral, which is full of annoying British people. We watched it when we started dating, and I considered dumping her right away. I hate this movie. Anyway, three years later, she brought up that she wanted to watch it again. Knowing this and with her at work, I gave the DVD to our new puppy, who promptly destroyed it.

2). After a buddy’s wedding to a girl we all hated, I proceeded to get hammered at the reception, and after realizing the bar went dry four or five hours later, decided to find a bar in Danville, IL. I had never been to Danville before, but found some bars, drank a lot more, and then realized that I had no clue where I was at. After meandering around for about an hour or so trying to walk back to the hotel, the reception’s dinner hit like a ton of bricks. Now it’s probably 3 or 4a, and there are no businesses open that would let some hammered idiot use their bathroom to fire one down. Instead, I spotted a Pepsi machine with a larger tray to get your soda (one of the bottle machines, not cans). Some strategic manuvering by me, and I was ridding myself of last night’s dinner in the soda tray.

I was on a community swim team, and I wore a speedo until age 18. Also by 18 I was overweight, and had a hairy chest and back.

here's one

i got ejected from a little league baseball game when i was 12.

we were playing this miserable team and in the first inning we batted around 3, yes 3 times.

i made all 3 outs that inning.

it should be known that was a decent-above average little league player. nothing great, and i quit before high school because i got tired of it, but i was a decent singles hitter and was great with the glove.

but yeah, i made all 3 outs in the first inning of a game. came back to the dugout after out #3, threw my helmet across the dugout and yanked the gatorade jug off the bench. the ump came over and said it’d probably be best for me to take the rest of the game off.

I was caught at work in my underwear

sort of…

I was late – overslept. Grabbed what clothes I could find, sprayed on some cologne and hit the road.

I was late for a big meeting with executives and I “sneaked” into the back of the room. I had went mostly unnoticed and thought I was good. I had to make a presentation and they called me in a couple meeting to go up front to do the speech.

I do it and I ROCK! I was made for this job, I am the MAN!

Then I go back to my seat, sit down, and one of my co-workers smiling – points at my feet.

I look down and I’ve been walking around with YESTERDAY’s underwear hanging out of my pantleg.

Nice.

Continuing my proud tradition

of posting WAY too late to these threads:

Lots of folks here going with the “I cried at [insert movie here]” admission, so I will add this little gem:

The Applebee’s commercial of the High School Basketball coach on his last day, the wife picks him up, and they go to eat, and the hostess comes over to ask for his help and its a picture of him and his team, going up on the wall…. sniff, sniff.

Gets me every time.

Man alive

I don’t know if its because Missouri is the Show Me State or perhaps since MU is so well known for journalism, but this thread is the single greatest example of mass catharsis I have ever witnessed. I think people in general would all be healthier mentally if everyone did something like this fairly regularly.

I’m an Alabama native and fan, although I now in Kansas and go to school at KU(my “education prostitute”, as my brother says), but I’m a almost religiously devoted fan of college football in general.

I’ve never participated in the Roll Bama Roll embarassing admission thread, but I will here to show good faith:

1) As it relates to movies and TV, I have generally gotten misty and often had big, rolling tears stream down my face when I see historical and war movies(I’m a History major, natch) like Braveheart or even more ham-fisted stuff like The Dirty Dozen. Ever since my son was born, I now also blubber at anything involving babies being born or father/son relationships. An addendum to the “daddy” theme is pretty much any SONG about fathers(I’m very close with my old man). There have times that I have had to pull my car over when “That’s My Job” by Conway Twitty comes on the radio.

2) I am very easily embarassed, so much so that seeing OTHER people, even strangers and famous people, do something I consider embarassing in person or on TV, it makes me so intensely uncomfortable I have to change the channel or leave the room. So, shows like American Idol and America’s Funniest Home Videos make me wish my couch was equipped with an ejector seat.

#2. I've always thought I was easily embarrased

and I was with you up to the point where you said you have to leave the room. I’m not that bad, but I typically get very sympathetically embarrased.

Bad to good on the Karma

I check RMN as much as I can and recognize alot of you are on here all the time. Most of you seem to know one another. When I saw the last scrimmage results and didn’t see Washington’s name in the rushing totals, I got an uneasy feeling. Then I found out why. I came on here and there were already 400 posts on this thread. I decided to see if I could help. I just signed up.
1. Has anyone here been to a Liberace consert? You know the piano player that had the candlelabra on his piano. I saw him in Vegas when I married my High School sweatheart. I liked the show! He could really entertain!
2. In the 4th grade I tried to make love to a third grader but she wouldn’t lie down in the woods and she was taller than me. Then her 5th grade brother caught us.
3. I can’t remember which one of you said that they thought Kansas women were attractive. I wouldn’t go there but I did tell a Mizzou girl that I was a Jhawk when I noticed she had on a screw the Jhawks T shirt on. OK I lied I wanted to tell her that but she was with her parents.

This one got me to sign on. I have been checking out RMN since I found it early this spring. I,m not supersticious but do believe in Karma. I’m close to countrycal in age, 53. I know that if you don’t do something to initiate change then nothing will. What was happening lately with our teem needed to change.

Ugh. Chicago is terrible, even with CZ-J

Les Miserables and The Producers are very man-friendly (Les Miz being about war and The Producers being Mel Brooks).

Wicked is actually really enjoyable as well (since you already like WoOz, and if you want hot, check out Kristin Chenoweth, who played Galinda/Glinda The Good Witch in the original cast.

Eh, it was just kind of lame. Not bad, but not really that great either. Like Benjamin Button… kind of predictable, and clearly swinging for the fences to hit emotional hot buttons, but kind of landing on them in soggy heavy handed ways.

Oh I enjoy the theater

saw Les Mis and Phantom when I lived back east (actually on Broadway) and have been to The Fox and Muny many times with my wife since moving here. The number to close the 1st half of Wicked (the first time I saw it, since I have seen it twice) gave me chills the first time. And though I buy the tickets “for” my wife, I usually very much enjoy the shows.

Seeing as musicals have come back up, I offer:

2) That is not the only song from Rent that I’ve sung more than once at karaoke.

FWIW, I get how Miley Cyrus is a star – she has that certain je ne sais qoui self-possessed aura to her… this kid looks like the tweener next door, puffed up by a theater mom.

I've been away from RMN for a few months. What a wonderful thing to return to.

I’m not necessarily so ashamed of it but I quit all competitive sports (except for tennis) to do musical theater and academic team after 8th grade.

I used intense schmoozing coupled with some really shameful lying to get out of some really shitty academic situations I’ve been in about half of my collegiate career. I completely abused the trust of my professors. They will probably never know.

I got lambasted when at a bar with some coworkers of mine; I was planning on asking our events coordinator out on a date, so I drunkenly asked literally everyone there but her if they thought it was a good idea, then chickened out. I regained my courage with my soberness and asked her out. After ignoring me for several days, she declined my proposition via work email. I told everyone about it to make her look childish and bitchy when she was actually really nice in the email and has a boyfriend.

Wow - nice admissions.

Do you abuse the trust of your bosses (assuming you are out of college)?
