On the same line of the band playing Paul Simon's "You can call me Al."
There is a song by Jim Croce from the late 60s or early 70s that you have had to have heard at one time called "You Don't Mess Around With Jim." The chorus goes: ___ And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim ___
Riding the Tebow train and his superman references, it'd be cool to hear the band play this song and instead of Jim, just say Tim. (Call me a nerd if you want, but it'd be sweet.) You make a sign that says "And You Don't Mess Around With Tim.", you will get on TV.
Uptown got its hustlers The bowery got its bums Forty Second Street got Big Jim Walker He a pool shootin' son of a gun Yeah he big and dumb as a man can come But he's stronger than a country hoss And when the bad folks all get together at night You know they all call Big Jim boss, just because
And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim
Well outa South Alabama come a country boy He said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim I am a pool shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy But down home they call me Slim Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of Forty Second Street He drive an old drop-top Cadillac And last week he took all my money, and it may sound funny But I've come to get my money back And everybody say Jack, ooh don't you know
That you don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim
Well a hush fell over the pool room And Jimmy come boppin' in off the street And when the cuttin' was done The only part that wasn't bloody was the soles of The big man's feet, woah Yeah he were cut in 'bout a hundred places And he was shot in a couple more And you better believe they sung a different kind of story When a Big Jim hit the floor, aw
Now they say you don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Slim
(Spoken) Yeah Big Jim got his hat, find out where it's at And it's not hustling people strange to you Even if do got a two piece custom made pool cue...yea
Now they say you don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Slim.
From SI: On Saturday he almost matched the rushing yardage of Arkansas' Darren McFadden (173) and the passing yardage of Kentucky's Andre' Woodson (265).
Actually I thought he did well during this past year's bowl games. He seemed well spoken and made pretty good points. Something happened to him this year and he can't talk. Maybe Appy State got him! Just like that last prank about all the little creatures that multiply when you throw water on them.
"My dad is a subway alum from New York. I was raised on Notre Dame. Here's a question: Why should I be a fan anymore? I have spent countless dollars on tickets and memorabilia. I am hated by friends and co-workers. I consistently expect national championships but clearly couldn't expect that at a Division II level. I DON'T KNOW WHY I CARE ANYMORE. My life has been made worse by this team -- people like me less, I feel completely empty inside every fall, I waste hard earned money. If I was a fan of Star Wars I would also be ridiculed by many but at least I know how that ends. This is a never-ending torment."
How does the beach in the Bahamas make you feel??
ReplyDeleteWell the game is on ESPN. Perhaps they have satellite on the ship. Blah!!!
ReplyDeleteBut as long as the Gators take care of business, I can watch it on DVR and be just fine.
Grossman is just playing awful. He will prob. be benched. 3 INTs at home in a loss yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIke, 2 catches for 32 yards.

Desmond Howard is such a terrible broadcaster and I can eat my weight in Godfathers Pizza.

ReplyDeleteHe must be sponsored by the words "like" and "you know." He's making booku bucks off that.
ReplyDeleteProps to the hidden Gremlins reference and shame on me for having to make a second post showing I acknowlege.
ReplyDeleteFlippin Mogwais.
Actually it is a Goonies reference. Tim Tebow was not yet born when The Goonies came out. Doh.
ReplyDeleteActually it's a gremlins reference that was made in the Goonies.
ReplyDeleteLOL from a poster on CNNSI:

ReplyDeleteExactly, so that would be a Goonies reference.
ReplyDeleteThere should be an asterisk on MLB.
ReplyDeleteLet my boy go in peace James.
