From underneath a rock in Media Void

Living under a rock - It is to be a person who lives in isolation from and has limited knowledge of what is happening in the world around them. Used to describe an ignorant or obtuse person. Usually someone who lives in the basement of their mother's house.

Media Void - A ficticious city in a ficticious country which is free from all types of media and information. Where everybody in the city/state wanders aimlessly around uninformed about everything from the news, to weather, sports and politics.

The BDFL was well represented at the 2014 SEC Football Championship Game in Atlanta, Georgia

The Bulletin - Week 12 Another year with more of the same endless babble (or HDBS)

The Dirty Dozen

Well, whether you like it or not, The Dirty Dozen, is one of the greatest movies of all time. So, in Week 12 of the BDFL season, the BULLETIN is paying tribute to this World War II (fictional) classic from the 1960s.

I like the part where… Charles Bronson (and John Cassavetes) and the whole dozen refuse to shave:

Bullet used to have a strong beard before the gray took over, forcing him to a goatee, and then ultimately to nothing. In Week 12 in the BDFL, the Benton Bullets kept their faint, faint, hopes alive by beating the Sloth Monsters, 31 to 18. It was a big vict’ry for the Bullerino, but he’s dreaming if he thinks he has any hope of advancing to the Big Dance. This year, it looks like NO teams will fall victim to the Bullet Rule. Most teams with the top points, also have the top records, with 7-BDFL Teams already over the 7-win mark required to qualify for the BDCS. One of them is the Three Toed Tree Dwellers, who lead the Green Horn Division (with 317 points; and a 7-5 record). So, Mukes didn’t lose much sleep after losing to the Bullets.

Did you see the part where… the Mayor (Reisman – Lee Marvin) gets the best of (big man) Posey:

One of the BDFL’s smaller players “walked tall” this past weekend. The Brookside Dogs put 34-points on the board in Week 12’s biggest blowout (there were no A.W.’s). Mark’s Mutts bit the Gulf Coast Gamblers on the banks of the Five Mile Creek and sent them on a journey down the Cahaba, Coosa, Alabama, & Mobile Rivers back to the Gulf Coast in complete and total embarrassment.

Donald Sutherland (Pinkley) Pretends to be a General:

Pinkley gets the Dozen out of trouble by pretending to be a General (on orders from Reisman). The remaining Dozen almost fall out laughing. “Where you from boy,” the pretend General says to a private. The response is somewhere in Iowa or Ohio or Indiana, and Pinkley says, “never heard of it.” The private is decimated. In BDFL action, the Grenadiers felt the same way after getting beaten on Sunday by the Duncanville Armadillos, 31-22. After all of those times that K.P. got to crash with Chris in T-Town, he actually had the gall to “bite the Hand that feeds him.”

George Kennedy gets thrown from the truck during War Games:

If George Kennedy had a son (and maybe he did), he’s probably look like Jeff Parks. But, Parks was the BDFL Franchise throwing around others this past weekend. The Pasco County Wizards flung the Druid City Blitz out of Central Florida, topping the Gritz Blitz by two, 24-22. The old aubbie TE actually applied for the open job at UCF, only to be beat out by an old Nebraska boy (Scott Frost). Parks’ Tigers also lost to Saban & Company again, so the BDFL may be Merlin’s only positive, self-gratification at present. But, never fear, a Bucs reunion is probably coming soon, and he’ll get the chance to carry Vinnie & Curt’s jocks again.

Major Reisman lines up British harlots for the Dozen (minus one) Maggott – Telly Savalas – doesn’t participate:

This is a scene right up the Sin Wagon’s wheel-house. Some less-than-attractive ladies of the evening are brought in an Army truck to “visit” the Dozen (minus one). Franco (John Cassavetes) breaks the mood, “wanna dance?” She responds indignantly, “there’s no music.” He starts dancing with her anyway, responding, “try humming.” Back in the BDFL world, the four-time champion Cheetahs double-up the perennial BDFL doormat, Fighting Slovaks, 18-9.

You remember when Charles Bronson & Lee Marvin dress up like German officers to get into the Chateau:

In the biggest upset of the week, the Magic City Mayors slipped up on the Smoke Rise Woosiers and pulled off an improbable vict’ry, 25-24. The Cronies are definitely on the (BDCS) bubble for playoffs with the 8^th highest point total, and now a record of 6-6. So, it was a huge win for Mayor Arrington. As for the Woo Crew, they still pace the BDFL with a total of 410-points, and a record of 9-3.

Jim Brown Plays the Hero – Running & Dropping Grenades into the bunker holes while getting shot multiple times:

Jefferson’s (Jim Brown) run to glory, blows up and burns many German officers, soldiers, women, and partygoers. It’s the key scene to the Dirty Dozen’s success in carrying out their mission, and pretty much single-handedly winning the war. It’s awesome. Wladislaw (Bronson), Reisman, the MP (Jaeckel), and Franco get away on a German tank-truck amidst machine gun fire, and the cover of the remaining alive Dozen, who all die. But, you mourn not their deaths, for they are colorful, convicted criminals, fighting for their country. Actually Franco doesn’t make it. Ironically, he shouts, “We made it! We made it!” Then, he gets shot. Classic. (Never speak too soon, count your chickens, etc.) Oh, the Power Sleds beat Jaimie, 27-21.

Allyson Rules – Even Though Nauts Lose (to Wildcats, 52-36):

In a near A.W., the Jugtown Juggernauts lost to the Western Hills Wildcats, 52-36, in a game matching the two BDFL franchises that had to “take a year off” in the past due to concerns beyond the comprehension of the league’s regular “rank & file.” Be that as it may, the ‘Cats looked strong in the Dirty Dozen weekend in defeating the ‘Nauts rather soundly. However, the Bulletin is giving the “Coming Thru in the Clutch” award to Allyson this week (because we can). She got Bullet & Matthew Hand tickets to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. Last year, practically half the BDFL was in Atlanta, and a big turnout is expected again this Saturday (and at least two Jr. BDFLers are expected to be in attendance).

Meanwhile in the Jr. BDFL:

The Selma Southpaws scored a season-high 53-points, but were still shot down by the front-runners – the Fultondale Renegades – 60-53, in Junior B.D.F.L. action.
