The last number four MooPig rooted for was probably John McCain when he was climbing up through the Republican ranks for presidential nominee. He ended up number two. That's how we see BAYLOR football team today.

They are proving that they are no one's doormat anymore. Remember the old Southwest Conference? University of Texas used to win all the time. Baylor was a fly-over football team, made up of pre-med students, who might or might not have a propensity to withstand concussions of football play. You know, a concussion might limit one's ability to concentrate on his studies.

Rice and Baylor were both known for their academics, and relative small sized student populations. MooPig Sports Trough Department has been secretly rooting for Baylor since the advent of RG III into the annals of football history. What, you say, calling out Baylor only when they are winning? We are after all one of those lazy bloggers... eh?

Feb 6 -- 13, Friday's Fun Horrifying Sex Quiz

MULTIPLE CHOICE
Before we get started, dodgy participants cannot use any of these excuses:

Overheard at a real university somewhere in the U.S.:

• Was this a real test?
• I thought it was a practice test...you're not gonna count that score are you?
• Can I earn extra credit?
• I wasn't here for the test. I'll bring a doctor's excuse next week...
• You want to "GRADE" our homework?!?!!
• I didn't have money for the textbook so I'm borrowing a friend's...
• I didn't have money for the workbook so I'm borrowing a friend's...
• I didn't have the workbook so I helped (insert name here) do their homework. Can't you just give me the same grade they earned?
• If I do well on the final, I'll still pass the course, right? (Dr J; November 17, 2008)

Question 8
January 18, 2008, Miyoko Fujimori of Shop Erotic was interviewed. Here is a snippet -- read and then pick best answer:

"Dethroner: When did Shop Erotic first hit the airwaves? [SOURCE]

"Miyoko: Shop Erotic first aired two years ago, and at that time we showed romance products mostly! [So strap-on scorpion vibrators with attached "anal stingers" aren't romantic? Romance is dead. -Ed.]

Dethroner: You guys seem so pleasantly clinical about all of the products I’ve seen. (Which isn’t a bad thing.) Is there any product that’s just been so odd that it’s been hard to talk about on the air?

Miyoko: We try to stay extremely clinical—it’s still TV! But I think that’s part of the appeal of the show. It takes away any old stigmas that we might have learned growing up. There are some products that can be difficult to talk about. Aria’s Pleaser was a tough one to shoot. Andrea and I were laughing so hard, it took a few minutes to calm down enough to present it seriously!"

a__ Shop erotic is responsible for social reform and bringing sexual freedom to masses through television

b__ is prone to stampede during certain times of the year
c__ though in captivity still is prone to follow his instincts
d__ that at mating time he will have 60 times the usual amounts of testosterone flowing through his body
e__ all of the above

Question BONUS:

Your illicit sex partner is being introduced first time to your: Mom and Dad, Wife or Husband, pet horse, Gov Malajovich, or the upstairs Maid... you are not sure how to keep it from being a psychotic event for yourself. Remember that misdirection is a major tool to use for happy illicit sex...

Best introductions for this occasion might be as this writer says --

"I like character intros that are a little less on the nose, a little more sleight-of-hand. Revelation by misdirection, or contrast with another character in the same room, perhaps. A slight idiosyncrasy that hints at the whole iceberg lurking beneath an otherwise unruffled ocean." (Read, Cornelia, [http://www.nakedauthors.com/2008/06/rhymes-with-duck-redux.html]

If you agree, pick the best approach for the introduction from these choices:

"Hi, I'm [name...here] and this is [name...here]... and ... He\She\It thinks"

a__ One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of 235 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for domestic problems that plague this country.(Smiley, P; [SOURCE]

b__ I think my brother and I both ended up here in America due to early conditioning at home. It wasn’t just the fact that my dad loved cowboy movies, or my mother’s stories of those lovely US airmen who bought her chocolates on her seventeenth birthday at a time when there were no chocolates to be had in London – it was pretty much one big bomb site at the time (I’ve told that story here before). There was a certain respect for America, a sense that without America, where would we be? America was the place where everyone wanted to know your name, where the cars were that big – and you should see the size of their refrigerators! (Winspear, J; [SOURCE])

c__ MUSIC FOR A RECESSION: With the economy in the toilet, you might prefer to listen to upbeat tunes. Not me. I like music to reflect the times. Here's one my favorites for cooking a can of beans over an open fire: James McMurtry's
"We Can't Make It Here." McMurtry is the son of Pulitzer Prize winning author Larry McMurtry ("Lonesome Dove"), but you knew that. (Levine, Paul; [SOURCE])

d__ She is eighteen.

e__ He\she\it is deaf mute.

f__ She\He\It is French... [See question one.]

"It came pretty fast," said Tyler Rollema, a 19-year-old sophomore who was eating dinner in the cafeteria when students were told to head to the gym. "We came out and it was just blazing."
Thousands of feet above the flames, footage shot from television helicopters showed what initially looked like a massive campfire with dozens of glowing embers. When cameras zoomed in, however, what appeared to be flaring coals turned out to be houses — many of them sprawling estates — gutted by flame. Palm trees were lit like burning matches.
"It looked like lava coming down a volcano," Leslie Hollis Lopez said as she gathered belongings from her house. (THOMAS WATKINS, AP; today)

GM is "rapidly burning through cash reserves as car sales plummet and their access to credit tightens. GM has warned it may run out of money within months without outside help."

The club arranged to borrow at least $450 million through Banc of America Securities for its portion, with the first $126 million through the ARS market. But [the owner] agreed to cover cost overruns as part of the team’s share, and like many stadiums in this period, the price has spiraled.

The estimated ... cost $650 million when they announced the project in 2004. With $350 million of public funding and $76 million from the [Football League], it looked like a choice deal for the team. “Everyone is looking at the ... deal. It is a huge bellwether,” said one finance source. “This is one of the only deals, period, in the market ...sports or otherwise.”

The club’s proposed deal would refinance $126 million the team borrowed last year through the now-imploded auction-rate securities market, as well as add new debt to cover cost overruns at the team’s $1.2 billion stadium that is set to open next year, the sources said.
