Bibles are for thumping, smiting infidels, not to be thumped upon!

With Catholics it’s usually being used as a coaster under the beers or to prop up the wobbly corner of the Big Six booth at the festival. ;-)

ā€œCluck Norrisā€ is the clear winner, though USC’s rivals would have a field day with ā€œCock Commanderā€.

South Carolina kinda leans into that sort of thing though, they certainly don’t go to any lengths to avoid possible innuendo elsewhere.

Cluck Norris is good, probably a better name for a mascot, but I gotta go with Marco Pollo for pun quality.

Now that I actually disabled enough ad blockers to see The State’s naming poll, I’m not impressed with any of those ideas. And given USC’s football program, I vote Albert Ross.

Cluck Norris, Marco Pollo and Cock Commander

HideousRex approves.

Yeah, I gotta go with Cock Commander.

One year at UGA when South Carolina came to town, we hung a huge banner on one of the dorms saying ā€œBeat those Cocks!ā€ Sophomoric? Yes, but well…

Of course it had to be done.

My daughter is attending USC now and her roommate works with the football program. USC really goes out of their way to give the other teams leeway to be lewd at USC’s expense.

Just a small example: The cheer squad leads the crowd in a fairly standard call-and-response. They say ā€œLet’s Go!ā€, and then pause for a second or two, then say ā€œCOCKS!ā€. The crowd soon starts chanting both the call and response.

Of course on the other side of the stadium, the opposing team’s fans never miss the opportunity to should ā€œSUCK OUR!ā€ over the call portion… much to the delight of the USC fans.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

(I kid, I’m a Clemson grad though.)

Now, we would always joke about Clemson as ā€œnorth til you smell it, east til you step in itā€ and talk about IPTAY as ā€œIt’s Probation Time Again Y’all.ā€ Also, we’d claim Clemson fans all drove tractors to away games, which was kind of silly given that UGA is also a cow college of some repute.

I’d love to hear in the near future Tesla decides to frequently update their door security making this guy’s hand not work.

I considered putting this under the goose game thread since it would serve as excellent material for sequels.

Not the friendly skies.

PARIS — Two Air France pilots were suspended after physically fighting in the cockpit on a Geneva-Paris flight in June, an Air France official said Sunday.

Switzerland’s La Tribune reported that the pilot and co-pilot had a dispute shortly after takeoff, and grabbed each other by their collars after one apparently hit the other. Cabin crew intervened and one crew member spent the flight in the cockpit with the pilots, the report said.

Insert some joke about cockpits and cockfighting and all.

ā€œGentlemen, there is no fighting in the cockpit!ā€
