Want some Danish with that Turkey Sub
I was spending my day detoxing yesterday in the hotel room after a 4 day binger that I hadn't even contemplated doing since my time spent with Shooter and Cruiser in Boulder many moons ago, ( and please note that it was an absolutely beautiful San Diego day- not a cloud in the sky, 70 degrees-the whole ball of wax- and the only time I left the room was to go to Burger King), when I was able to spend some quality time with Jack Black and the gang in 2003s best movie, School of Rock. Considering this is one of Topper's favorite movies, I had seen it multiple times, but I still had one of those epiphanies that you get for unexplainable reasons ( like maybe I need to make sure there is plenty of toilet paper before I do my speed waddle in from La Margarita's happy hour special on half price Quesadillas)that signifcantly improves your life. Even though you have seen a movie a million times, there is still something new that you pick up on every time ( When Marcus Aurelius looks at Commodus and says " your shortcomings as a son are my failures as a father", at the beginning of Gladiator, you realize how that is going to add to the classic confrontation at the end because Commodus is so creepy and can't get his sister to agree to bang him- and you just see the rage/frustration in his face and know right then that this guy is going to kill his dad and will do anything possible to keep the power-
Anyway, I was finishing my third diet coke of the morning when the epiphany hit during the turkey sub scene of School of Rock, and I realized that Maryam Hassam, aka Tameka ( and Turkey Sub), /should be one of the new infette sponsors for Ampsnation. The Ag look on her face when she informs Ed Scheebley that she is interested in a backup lyric gig with the new band, and then subsequently belts out an all time Amps version of "Change, Change, Change" ( 0r whatever that song is called), has inspired me to create a new award for the Ampsnation Community, "The Turkey Sub". This award will be presented to the infant that has made the most outstanding contribution to enriching our lives at Ampsnation and who consistently defies logic and behtroness awe-stricken inspiration to our fledgling, blossoming community.
Previous winners would have included 1983 co-winnersReginald King ( 1983 Wilmer Hutchins Basketball)and Pearl Washington. MJ would have won several awards, or maybe just one special honor for lifetime achievement.Barvyn Sanders in 1988, Glenjamin Rice's historic run in the 89 final four was worth consideration,Randy Gene in 1998-1999,Kurtis in 2000, Barvyn Bonds in the early 2000s,Carmie's championship run in 2003 was noteworty, also. TO and his spectacular 2002 season with the Sharpie- I think we all get the picture. Centaur Johnson ( please see Ampy's photo ) would have been the big winner last year .
Now that the foundation has been set, I think it is important that we really appreciate the herculean contributions that one Waco-sired infant has been making this season, and is on pace to destroy of all Marshy's ( another unquestioned would have been honoree)seemingly unsurmountable records. Obviously, this baby is Danish Tomlinson.
Barring an injury, the Horned Frog alum is going to steamroll to over 30 zonies and well over 2000 total yards, and could get over 75 receptions. There has not been an unstoppable force like this since Carven- the still heroic never to be touched nudie, heading out to the Rangers game in the muff wagon, maintaining a special allegiance in Marino's back house smoking all sort of tintilating concoctions, running Daniel Lyke's Camaro into the wall across from Middleton's house in broad daylight, spearheading the Maroon Force Veer offense, taking 30 minutes to drive from Hyer after a basketball game to Shooter's house because he didn't know his directions. Running his Camaro into a phone pole next to Searcy's apartment and just leaving it there and walking back to the Inn, that silly grin on his face, they just go on and on and on and on and on. I wish everyone would seriously take a few minutes- maybe even more than a few- and really think about the special dynamic that Carven added to all of our lives. Close your eyes and think about it.
Danish does this same thing for me every time I turn the TV on.
Danish's feats are just like Turkey Sub's audition to be a back up singer for the band. Every time you watch, you realize what a special moment you are sharing and hope that you always can see these accomplishments repeated over and over and over and over and over.
We are about two hours away from watching Danish exploit the atrocious Browns defense ( when is Romeo getting fired?), and I know that Asa must be VERY excited.God knows I am.
When is he going to get 400 total yards of offense in a game? This could be the day- When that happens, I'll probably have hypoglycemic cardiothoracic seizures, and they will be welcome with open arms.
Let's all take a moment to think about who our Turkey Sub winner would be, and then share them on Ampsnation. Whether it is your kids making their first goal in a soccer game, nailing their first solo at a recital, a classic episode of Everyone Loves Raymond when Marie shreds Debra, or anything at all- everyone has their own turkey sub and let's make sure to include all of the ingredients.
For my particular recipe, it includes about 70 inches and 210 lbs. of mercury with a unusually consistent penchant for coagulating in an area designated by pylons and white chalk. Danish is my turkey sub with all the fixings. Centaur is the bag of chips and Carmie is the extra large brownie, but Danish is the Turkey Sub.
God Bless Tameka.
