From NYCU: Wiggy Miggy Suey Suet

[Craig]

Pravata asks: Does this make the infield Wiggy and Miggy on the left side (yuck) and Suey and Suet on the right?

I don't know what it means for the Astros, but this sounds like the perfect new Aggie Yell to me.

"Wiggy Miggy Suey Suet!

"Wiggy Miggy Suey Suet!

"wwwwwooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO Aggies!!!

"Hubbblblblblblblbblblll!"

[Phil_in_CS]

this is greatness.

[MikeyBoy]

Craig, I think you have your cults mixed up.

"wwwwwwooooooOOOOOO Wigg Suey Razorbacks"

You're right, that would work equally well for Arkansas. The Razorback fans here are pretty high-strung too, but they only have one yell while the Aggies have hundreds.

There's also a flavor of ice cream here called "Woo Pig Chewy."

[VirtualBob]

And if DQ comes back in July, we can have "Sue-em" on the mound.

i remember traveling in hot springs maybe three years ago around new years, and while listening to the radio two things struck me:  1.  a classic rock station's slogan (paraphrase though not too far off) "your favorite rock hits from the 60's 70's and 80's-- without all the objectionable words."  2.  around the time i was travelling, nick saban quit LSU to coach the miami dolphins, and as a result, the big news in town was the purely unfounded speculation-based fear that houston nutt would leave arkansas to go to lsu.  the classic rock station was having people call in and comment on it between songs!  and this was not a regular rock and roll sports call-in show or anything else like that, but it was just such big news that they put this call-in commenting in the short space normally reserved for "alright and that was styx, styx will be coming to the hot springs rec arts center on febraury 15th... now here's another classic hit by john fogerty"

I live in Hot Springs, and the classic rock station still does the "no obscene lyrics and no foul-mouthed DJs" bullshit. So does one of the Clearchannel classic rock stations out of Little Rock. The morning show DJs can be racist, but they just can't cuss. Whenever I hear the "no obscene lyrics" ads, it reminds me to change the channel. These dumbass rules also lead to fucked-up versions of classic songs:

"We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a dad-gum thing."

"Good times and riches, some bruises and stitches, I've seen more than I can recall."

I really need to get XM in my new vehicle. With baseball season coming up that should be plenty of motivation.

I have XM and generally like it.  However, they could do a lot better job with the MLB channels.  An inordinate amount of Yankee/Red Sox chatter combined with the Dibble/Kennedy afternoon show where the hosts expound each day that steroids have no effect on performance.

I have it too... unfortunately in my wife's car (whole alternate new cars thing)...  Anytime you broadcast nationally you get an inordinate amount of New York/Boston crap, because there are that many of them and most don't have anything better to do with their time than call into those stupid things.

That and for whatever reason most national broadcast times seem to originate from 3 places: NorthEast (New York/Boston mostly), Chicago and LA.

For whatever reason?  Aren't those the 4 biggest media markets in the country?

I am sure that helps... but just because you are a big media market, does that mean the media people actually hale from there?  They are also the largest populations too, but then why is Houston, Atlanta, DFW type places more represented... doesn't seem many at all, even relationally.  Seems like it more of a 65/20/10/5 split where it is NY&Bos/Chicago/LA/other.

Can we please get back to how Hog fans are bat shit crazy? Thanks.

Do they bother to get married?

[Craig]

Do they bother to get married?

Oh yeah, they're very big on "Sanctity of Marriage" here. Unless it's same-sex marriage because that's just unnatural and would make their Bibles burst into flame, or something.

on the same trip to hot springs as with the radio shenanigans, i went to one of those old school spas that are scattered around downtown (i think it was at "the majestic" hotel, if that's the name i'm thinking of).  just a totally crazy experience:  80 year-old bathtubs, a blind masseuse, an old black bathhouse assistant with an "i aims to please i please to aim" attitude that was straight out of the 1930's.  and while naked in the steam room/pre-massage area, a guy struck up a conversation with me who was, no fucking kidding, a traveling bible and bible accessories salesman from memphis.

Was there a happy ending?

Sadly, the Majestic closed last year. There are still a couple of big old bathhouses open, plus the Park Service has a visitor center in one that you can tour.

Did you know Hot Springs has a colorful baseball history? It used to be the spring training home for several Major League teams, back in the 30s I think. Many players swore by the "healing waters." It certainly couldn't have been the rampant gambling, booze, and prostitution that they came here for.

It's not about same sex marriages per se, it's about the slippery slope that leads directly to marriages between people and animals.  Personally, I find this logic silly, especially when ...ahem... that particular stable door has already been opened.
