Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew

I'm not one to brag, but that's a pretty sweet Muppet themed shirt!

Some guys just can't make a Fedora work.

For anyone who was listening to Vertically Striped Radio's Episode 145 and wanted to see how ridiculous the hat Ben Roethlisberger was wearing after the Steelers lost to the Broncos in the Wildcard round of the NFL playoffs...here you go.

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 145 - 01-14-12 - Jail the Amish.

Divisional Playoff Weekend, and Craig was prepping for Patriots-Broncos by watching Saints-49ers. Craig got his mind right by sharing stories about jailing the Amish and a religion based around internet piracy. 

He and Face then welcomed The Whale to the airwaves and the three aired the inagural Mitch edition of the Week in Wankery (Nice hat, Ben.) and then we debuted a new segment we like to call "Craigslist missed connections".

We reviewed our preseason NFL division predictions. Face and Craig tied, but we decided that Face wins the tiebreaker based soley on how bad Craig's NFL Champion prediction was. We quickly decided on the next movie for the He-Man Movie Watchers Club meeting in two weeks. We will be discussing "This is Spinal Tap" and then Craig wrapped things up with a Music Recommendation of "One Red Thread" by Blind Pilot. (And a bonus song involving Tebow at the end.)

Tebowie - If David Bowie and Tim Tebow were one

More Tebow madness...sensing a theme this week??

Everytime I think the Tim Tebow mania can't get Loopier, someone goes and proves that it can.

John Parr, the original singer of "Saint Elmo's Fire" has reworked his trademark hit. The results are embarrassing. To all those non-Broncos fan who grow weary of this nonsense, I understand your pain. This is getting ridiculous. That said, I hope it doesn't stop.





Growin' up
Gotta keep your eye on the ball
Make it fly,
Give it everything, give your all
But maybe sometimes if you feel the pain
You'll find you're all alone
Everything has changed


Play the game
You know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on
Only you can do what must be done
You know I’m out there
Down on one knee
a prisoner
And I’m tryin' to break free


CHORUS:


I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
Gonna be a man in motion
All I needs my Broncos team
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebows Fire


Oooh...


Burnin' up
Don't know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home
Only just 4 downs to go
I can make it
I know I can
You broke the boy in me
But you won't break the man


(CHORUS)


I can see a new horizon
blazin on the Mile High
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I needs my Broncos team
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebows Fire


I can climb the highest mountain
These Broncos cant be beat
I can feel St Elmo’s Fire burnin' in me
Burnin' in me


Just once in his life
A man has his time
And my time is now
And I'm comin' alive


I can hear the music playin'
I can see the banners fly
Feel like a man again
I’ll hold my head high
Gonna be a man in motion
These broncos can’t be beat
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebow’s fire


(CHORUS)


I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me


Burnin'
Burnin' in me
I can feel it burnin'
Oooh, burnin' inside of me

Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus

This is pretty awesome.

Things are getting out of control in Denver...

My boss just emailed this to our entire department, and she titled the email, "We're expecting."

Look, I enjoyed the Broncos win as much as (if not more) than anyone, but things are starting to get nutty. If the Broncos do the unexpected and actually find a way to win in New England (I'm not betting that way, but IF), this town may lose it's collective mind.

Still can't quite believe this happened.

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 144 - 01-09-12 - Talkin' Broncos

Somehow the Broncos won a playoff game against the Steelers in a game that took 11 extra seconds. Craig had to talk about it, so he summoned the ghosts of co-hosts past, and the result was three Broncos fans basking in the reflective glory of a wonderful NFL playoff game. Join Craig and his former co-hosts Bruce Dodge and MJ Amory as we talk a lot of Broncos football. (Warning: I'm talking a LOT of Broncos football.)


The highlight of the show is Bruce's shocking and embarrasing admission of his view from the stadium of the single overtime play. Craig wraps up the show by playing music recommendation from a 1977 Denver Broncos running back. It's as terrible as it sounds, but Jon Keyworth's "Make Those Miracles Happen" is a sentimental choice for old timer Broncos fans.

Broncos time in America!

I have small amounts of confidence in my Broncos today, but that doesn't mean I'm not cheering for them. Go Broncos!
