Two guys who love sports, almost more than women...

[Scrum Screw-ups and Omissions for Podcast XIII]
A couple things to address here…
Who makes Gobstoppers?
WONKA Candy Company of course! (Oompa Loompas exist!)
Ben Savage is “Cory Matthews” in Boy Meets World. On November 26, 1993, “Jim Abbott makes an inspiring guest appearance” according to the DVD box-set. No word if anyone has bought this set yet…
Man Laws (Men of the Square Table) are a series of beer commercials for Miller Lite, not Budweiser. http://youtube.com/watch?v=7dejo0ykEfQ
A few suggestions fro the judicial branch of thescrumbrandon.com…
“Jeremy Sawatzky: The Führer of Altona/Mennoville”
“David J. Larkins: World Champion of My World”
Also, if you’re not sure what to say to TMZ, here’s some help (Warning: not for the kids) http://youtube.com/watch?v=c88d2C9uRAg
Best cameo: Muhammad Ali
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CSckp1fGlFA&feature=related (5:36 mark)
Worst cameo: Macho Man Randy Savage in Spiderman (as Bonesaw)
[drum roll]
Blindside Winner: David J. Larkins
Although “Thou shall not pop thy collar” was the best Man Law, DJ Larkins was simply too convincing with his endless barrage of what society should be allowed to do.
“I’m this close to slitting your throat” not only impresses the judges in an out of line ‘he just said WHAT’ kind of way, someone should probably inform authorities. Seriously, someone should.
Note: Swatter can’t be penalized for stealing blindside questions again, it’s known as the Double-Jeopardy clause in the legal world (and in a bad Hollywood script)…
2008 Blindside score: 6-4 David J. Larkins
That’s it, that’s all, you’ll know better for next time kids.

1. You mention JR and not ME!! I know I may not have as much time on my hands but it was even my birthday… 2. Time shift? 4 in the morning? We are in the same time zone as Columbia, at least Larky realized it is straight south… 3. Best cameo: Lance Armstrong in Dodgeball, with Vince Vaughn, hilarious. I also liked Evander Holyfield in Fresh Prince… 4. Just wondering if you know that you write your own AUTObiography, which can not be done if you are dead… 5. I also hate those stupid decals… 6. I am gonna pop the collar on my wife-beater and see if DL wants to throw fists…

If commercials count, then Peyton Manning’s Mastercard ads vault him into first place on the ‘best’ side. I gotta say Wayne’s “Young and the Restless” spot was terrible if only because of the context. He was cast as a mobster from the “Edmonton Operation” (or some such nonsense). I don’t know too many 160 lb mobsters with, at the time, free flowing blond hair inspiring much fear. But then again, Michael Corleone wasn’t a chiselled, viking of a man either (but boy did he turn evil in a hurry).
Speaking of decals, I have seen two - TWO! - bumper stickers (in downtown Ottawa of all places) on pickup trucks that said, and I quote: “Single, but looking”. The English language does not provide the vocabulary to express the sheer horror of that scenario. I don’t know what was more out of place: the bumper sticker or the beat up truck in downtown Ottawa?
Hey guys, how about an MLB preview? Opening day is March 31st you know. Given Swatter’s abilities re: Coco Crisp, he’d be a natural. David’s misguided disdain for baseball is, alas, all too well known.
