The BIC's recent pants shopping post has me harkening back to one of the greatest Boilers of all time...........Mr. Christopher Farley. As a peddler, not a day goes by without me thinking about various scenes from this classic flic. Let me tell you why I suck as a salesman.............RB

Happy Holidays!


Yes, it's that time of year again......Holiday Season. I love the parties ...especially the good food. Unfortunately,this year, I came out of the gate too quickly, and now my dress pants don't fit. Today I took the ride of shame up to the local Men's Wearhouse, to buy some "fat pants". I still have a few parties in front of me, as well as a Christmas trip to the in law's in NC, so I saw no other option. Boiler up boys.....And Merry Christmas!

Gambler's Lament


Yes sports fans, gambling on the NFL can be fun and exciting. It can also take a shocking and horrible negative turn from time to time. Take yesterday,for example. I am at a local sports bar (Mulligan's) for the 1:00 action. I bet the Bengals against my Brownies in a pick game, the Giants -3 over the Eagles and the Jags +5 over the Colts. At about 3:45, I am looking good. The Brownies are down 19-10, The Giants are up 31-10 and the Jags score late to trail 27-24. 3-0 is a distinct possibility. Well, not so fast my friend! The Giants have a TOTAL implosion. I then turn my attention to the screen to my left (Jags/Colts). Jacksonville has just cut it to 3 and is attempting an onside kick. To my dismay, the Jax kicker boots a weak dribbler that the Colt's guy scoops up, untouched, and runs in for the TD. WTF!?!?!

Early Bowl Returns


Well, The early returns for my underdog bowl theory are ahh......not good. You can look at this several ways: Positive View: The dogs will have their day during Capital One Bowl week, so turn directly into the storm. Negative View: Tom Dempsey is lining up for a 63 yarder to the sack.
BOWL UPDATE: Late on January 1,2011, the dogs are 13-13-1 against the spread. Not impressive until you consider that the chalk was 7-2 out of the gate. This represents a pretty good swing in our favor.

It's Time To Go Bowling!

Ok you gambling degenerates,the bowl season starts today. As a public service,I am going to give you some sage football betting advice. Take the dogs as a general rule in the bowl games. Last year the dogs covered at a pretty significant rate,and I was able to deliver a nice boiler punch to my man Al (The Book).I am not sure why this is so,but my theory is that the teams have 2-3 weeks to prepare,giving the dogs a chance to compete.We'll see how it goes. Good luck men!

Hanes: Airplane - Constructive Criticism 30.mov


Since we have a lot more time on our hands, now that golf season is over, I have been watching plenty of football. Unfortunately,exposure to a volume commercials is unavoidable (unless you have the Sunday Ticket on Directv). As a public service, we here at Bronze Boiler will periodically comment on commercials that we deem comment worthy.I have several problems with this commercial. First, If a guy comes up to me in first class, sticks his crank in my face , does deep knee bends,and shows me his underwear,I am likely to punch him in the face!Secondly,what is up with that Hitler stash MJ?
