Oxford, MS
Some artists work in watercolors or acrylics. Others sing or are performance artists. Well my friend Tusky's milieu is unbridled rage. As a result of him being one of the angriest men in America, his rants about the world in general and sports in particular are hilarious. Here is post he made on a message board after one college Saturday afternoon.
Here is the background story that inspired his bitter "art".
At halftime of the Arkansas/Ole Miss football game Ole Miss did a fireworks show…at 1pm in the middle of the day. During the DAYLIGHT HOURS fireworks show, long streamers drifted into power lines, started a fire, and blew out a transformer. The results of which knocked out half of the stadium's electricity for more than an hour. Arkansas senior fullback Peyton Hillis said the players noticed the power had gone out but didn't hear the loud explosions from the locker room at halftime. Two transformers were blown in the north end of the stadium which caused the outage, including the video screen and scoreboard on that side.
Here is the post. WARNING!!! There are bad words!!!!
"It hasn't been often that I've been moved to words on our message board, but that all changed Sunday afternoon on my trip back from Baton Rouge. Every now and then you hear something that just makes you sit back and just say ...Wow. Normally I would take a few minutes to break down the Ole Miss game and gloat over another spectacularly failed effort to be competitive on Saturday. Now I know there are several Ole Miss fans who are in the league so you guys know more than anyone what I'm talking about. Whether its another fantastic down to the wire, we got screwed "moral victory" or another colossal beat down at the hands of the juggernaut that is Wyoming football, there's always plenty of spirited banter to be tossed about in rebel nation. Don't get me wrong I'm actually a huge Orgeron fan and would love for his contract to receive another extension. I could go for days so lets not lose focus. Despite the hours we could spend on the workman like effort put in by the rebels on Saturday, we have other fish to fry here. When do you know a university has quit? When does it become so apparent that everyone from the President, to the AD, to the Coach , to the passed out shaggy hair undergrad, are so completely disenfranchised with the football program? I mean , seriously when do you know? Well I’ll tell you, and it comes in the form of 2 words never associated together before, are you ready, here they are .......AFTERNOON FIREWORKS!!! Congratulations to Ole Miss!!! Who else in the entire firework gazing world would have thought to have a fireworks display at 2:30 in the afternoon? Its good to know that the stupidity that once was confined only to the football program has completely immersed the entire university. I won't even mention the shorting out of the scoreboard and jumbotron for the entire 2nd half as a direct result of the "Disney in Oxford" display. At some point it becomes just like scoring on the defense..a joke. It has now become apparent that there is almost no way the lowest I.Q. on campus resides with our hero Coach O. That honor would have to go to the genius who prepared Saturday's halftime festivities. Hey i guess even that guy figured Fuck it, no one is watching anyway."
PURE BEAUTIFUL ANGER AT ITS FINEST
