FIRST with the frozen oosik!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:13 PM
ahem...is this thing on?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:14 PM
Do I get a hat-trick from the Great Wide North?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:14 PM
We always knew that, Annie.
Posted by: Blue Meanie | February 28, 2006 at 03:15 PM
so, Annie - what exactly are ya doin' with that frozen oosik?
Posted by: TCK | February 28, 2006 at 03:15 PM
I was just thinking a "frozen oosik" would be a little....*ahem*....chilly to play with
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 28, 2006 at 03:15 PM
Walter must be sorely disappointed. Would have been a nice respite from all of the hurricanes.
Posted by: KOW | February 28, 2006 at 03:15 PM
Woohoo! I'd like to thank the academy...
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:15 PM
I wuz robb(ot)ed!

What am I doing with the frozen oosik? - having a 5-way, apparently.

That depends. Can you pull a rabbit from a touque?
Posted by: Aunt Nancy | February 28, 2006 at 03:17 PM
Was anyone else disappointed by the "Rugby on TV at Hooters" link? I was hopin' for pictures.
Posted by: TCK | February 28, 2006 at 03:17 PM
geezly - a 5 way simulpost - that's gotta be a record, don't it?
Posted by: TCK | February 28, 2006 at 03:18 PM
TCK, I did scroll through the pictures file, looking for any usage of oosiks in the rugby game itself - disappointed there, too.
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 28, 2006 at 03:19 PM
I saw 11 comments and thought, "Hey! Everyone's come out of hiding!"
But, no, it's just you guys. (*ducks!*)
What's the difference between a frozen oosik and a popsicle? They both bite! HAHAHAHA! Oh, wait, that doesn't make sense...
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | February 28, 2006 at 03:19 PM
I know there is a George Castandza shrinkage joke in there somewhere.
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | February 28, 2006 at 03:21 PM
s'belle - I was cruisin' for oosik, too. I'm guessing they were there, just hard (har!) to see, with the chill-wind shrinkage factor and all.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:21 PM
Snorks to Tamara RWC for her un-funny joke (I laughed anyway - does that mean its been a LOOONG day?)
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 28, 2006 at 03:22 PM
AN - mais oui, I can!
Addicted - you were right about the shrinkage joke.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:23 PM
Wahoo - I get two out the (not five), but six!

"30 years of history in the independent Alaska Oosik Rugby Football Union"
Wait. Read it again.
"30 years of history in the independent Alaska Oosik Rugby Football Union"
I still don't know what it means. Anyone?

"Cruisin for Oosik" WBAGNFARB
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 28, 2006 at 03:23 PM
(And my life story, lately)
Ummmm - is that TMI?
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 28, 2006 at 03:26 PM
Oosik Rugby? Oosik Union? Independent Oosik Rugby? FOR 30 YEARS? So many Brokeback jokes today.
Posted by: KDFgirl | February 28, 2006 at 03:26 PM
Blue - I have a new respect for you...
KDFgirl - I think you have to translate it from Canadian.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:27 PM
30 years of history in the independent Alaska Oosik Rugby Football Union"
makes one think there must be a DEPENDENT Alaska Oosik Rugby Football Union
Still makes no sense.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 28, 2006 at 03:31 PM
yeah... but do they play anywhere near "farfrompoopen road"?

sly - these guys play rugby in the snow...don't expect them to make sense. ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:32 PM
anybody view the photos? * shudder *
Posted by: MOTW | February 28, 2006 at 03:34 PM
oh wait...my bad... farfrompoopen in in arkansas... *not* alaska. (i always get those two states mixed up) sorry. : P
Posted by: neva | February 28, 2006 at 03:34 PM
I really miss the little outfits that Dave use to dress the little (little?) Oosiks in. Perhaps a little Oosik coat for the cold ?

Since the "Your Blogging Staff" credit box at the left of these pages now includes "Walter, a bone from the penis of a walrus.", when will Walter get to post something? This would have been a perfect "Bad to the bone" story for him!

Alright, spelling's not my thing today.....
Annie-But-Where-Here?

Let's see...
translate it from Canadian...
independent Alaska...
Oosik Rugby Union...
carry the 5...
= "Waitress, beer me"
OH! Now it makes sense! Thanks, Annie.
MOTW - that photo made my left eye twitch.

Blue - I more feel that like today anyway.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:48 PM
I thought you hated Annie-grams.
Posted by: Blue Meanie | February 28, 2006 at 03:50 PM
I LUV my grammie. She can wrestle crocodiles.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 03:51 PM
She's busy hanging wallpaper, though.
Posted by: Blue Meanie | February 28, 2006 at 03:52 PM
*SNORK* for Blue, and you may owe me a new keyboard, depending on whether or not I can get all the Mountain Dew out of it after that.
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 28, 2006 at 03:54 PM
Rugby Union differs from Rugby League in the number of players on the field at a time.
Did these players take off their shirts after a score?
Posted by: rugby info | February 28, 2006 at 03:55 PM
Having a hard time trying to wrap my brain around a Frozen Oosik Scrum.
Posted by: CoastRaven | February 28, 2006 at 04:01 PM
Annie, I have a feeling that the oosik has had other experiences, and you were not the first, no matter what he told you about being deprived by the wife, etc. They will tell you anything, ya' know.

Hey Coast:
Frozen Oosik Scrum WBAGDFARB, dontcha think?
Posted by: daisymae | February 28, 2006 at 04:09 PM
I read about the oosik rugby.
I think about rugby.
I realize that in rugby there are hookers, tightheads and looseheads.
I become vaguely aware that somewhere in all of that information, there may be a joke.
I'm too tired to think any further.
Posted by: J who. | February 28, 2006 at 04:10 PM
*zips in*
*looks around*
I'm going back to the other thread.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 28, 2006 at 04:17 PM
shoot. and i bet you also had a shirt. bummer. next yr... write it on your calendar, along with talk like a pirate day...
Posted by: queensbee | February 28, 2006 at 04:34 PM
Eleanor! Wait for me!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 28, 2006 at 04:58 PM
Next year, Dave, you should definitely report from this event, as you did from the Arcola Broom Corn Festival.
Posted by: Betsi | February 28, 2006 at 05:25 PM
But what do they do with the oosiks?! I learned nothing from that website!
But quite a lot from you guys.
Posted by: Peri | February 28, 2006 at 05:33 PM
Punkin and Peri, come with me. Over on the "trailer trash" thread, the guys think we're planning a wet t-shirt contest! Too funny!
Posted by: Eleanor | February 28, 2006 at 05:39 PM
Am I the only one here who has a problem with the term "frozen oosik"?
Posted by: Schadeboy | February 28, 2006 at 05:49 PM

Earwig Alert: Music, Music, Music!
by Ray Charles
Put another player in,
grab the ball and lose some skin
All I want is to tackle you
and oosik, ooosik, oosik!
Walter would do anything,
Mr. Weingarten asked him to,
But all I want is to tackle you
and oosik, ooosik, oosik!
Closer, no fear, come closer
The nicest part of any rugby yard
Is when the grass has frozen hard....
Put a substitute player in,
This oosik is frozen (No foreskin)
But all I want is to tackle you
and oosik, ooosik, oosik!

I think Anne-Where-but-here does nothing but sit at the computer and read/type these blogs.
You do need to expand yourself, Anne.
Posted by: Dr. Doug | February 28, 2006 at 07:12 PM
P'Boy - *SNORKS!* to the third power!
Posted by: Stupendous Man | February 28, 2006 at 07:19 PM
Dr. Doug - the Easter candy is out, so I'm expanding, all right. Now be careful - you just put an 'i' out.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 07:26 PM
HEY HEY HEY!!!
Dr. Doug, are you dissing my friend AnnieWBH???
I hope I just misunderstood your post.???
And her name is Annie, not Anne - sheesh!
Posted by: Eleanor | February 28, 2006 at 07:41 PM
Dr. Doug, do NOT mess with Annie. You know not with which dis. I suggest you run.
Posted by: KDFgirl | February 28, 2006 at 08:52 PM
with which YOU dis.
*marveling at typos ability to take the tough right out of a sentence*
Posted by: KDFgirl | February 28, 2006 at 09:07 PM
Just let the dog out. So cold out there you could freeze your oosik off.
Posted by: Tramp | February 28, 2006 at 09:26 PM
My first thought was Wouldn't it be difficult to play rugby with a oosik in hand? Then I realized that it referred to them all being of the male-type.
D'OH
Posted by: adonis | February 28, 2006 at 09:42 PM
I believe Dr. Doug was wanted in surgery....his OWN surgery.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 10:05 PM
Yeah, Annie! You tell 'em!
(Seriously ... I mean that ... with all sincerity ... I thot that comment was ... um ... p'haps a bit ... um ... whut ever ... )
Yeah, You tell 'em! (May I watch?)
Posted by: U.O | February 28, 2006 at 10:08 PM
Three cheers for Annie!
BTW I'm thinking oosiks seem better suited to polo than rugby.
(Or what's that lawn game with the little hoops? That might work, but not rugby.)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 28, 2006 at 10:18 PM
L BFF - you're thinking of croquet, but I luuuv polo!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2006 at 10:27 PM
Croquet, that's it. I think either one of those games should be a Dave-sponsored pro-am annual oosik event.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 28, 2006 at 10:37 PM
Memo To: Dr Doug.
RE: Stepping on "it" with golf shoes
Your earlier comment was in bad form. Looking at the fallout you received, I don't blame you for laying low. As a male-type-person that also makes a fool of myself on a regular fashion, I sympathize. However, maybe you should ask yourself 'will the posse lynch me for this' before you post (although that doesn't stop TCK). But don't worry, the doghouse has good beer and parfait, as stupe is finding out. If these things don't help with the impending wrath, maybe you could change your 'handle', thereby adopting another identity. (I did that once, but don't tell anybody!) I feel the extreme pain you are in, even if it is deserved.
Peace brotha
Posted by: adonis | February 28, 2006 at 10:50 PM
We know who you are, Boogerboy.
Posted by: KDFgirl | February 28, 2006 at 10:57 PM
"will the posse lynch me for this?"
*snork*
they ain't lynched me yet - that oughta tell ya somethin'
Posted by: TCK | February 28, 2006 at 11:04 PM
Yeah, but TCK...we can always see the smile on YOUR face.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 28, 2006 at 11:06 PM
Lisa - that smile's pretty much permanent - comes from bein' stoned a lot
(but point well-taken, and written down so as not to be forgotten)

Boogerboy ...

Posted by: U.O | February 28, 2006 at 11:27 PM
Bird Creek is alive with the sounds of oosiks
The Barbarians play ,nigh on thirty years
They thrill to the fouls, if they're not obtrusik
They think pads are for wimps, and deserve jeers
At the start they're all clean 'til the first broken nose gets the blood smeared all over their face
Then the parts held most dear get a knee in the cup and high notes are heard through the place!
To cough up fluids replaced soon by beer when the game's done at the end of day
To breathe through a tube, while the docs try to find an airway!
Posted by: insomniac | March 01, 2006 at 01:01 AM
Wow, I'm completely lost here...
Posted by: xian | March 01, 2006 at 01:12 AM
TCK - I'm only guessing here, but I think the reason you haven't been lynched by the posse yet is that the posse thinks you're already well hung.
Heeyyy - they lie, you lie. WTH.
Posted by: Stupendous Man | March 01, 2006 at 03:26 AM
hiya i don't no what this is but i just want to say hi to every one lol

Yes, yes. Thank you for making your presence known.
Posted by: angene15 | March 01, 2006 at 11:27 AM
Cower? Back-off? Lie low? Run to a dog house? Worry about any of this? Hardly.
Regrets, I have a few, but none for what I offer here.
Posted by: Dr. Doug | March 01, 2006 at 12:05 PM
Ah ha! I see the doctor is in.
