DOC director finds time-travelling dude in drag talking on a cell phone in a crowd scene in an old Chaplin movie ... this is a bizarre sequence which has no apparent explanation ... By Terrance Gavan - PTE managing Editor Occasionally we stray.
Pardon the Eruption is a sports site, but the Managing Editor Terrance Gavan is a bon vivant, techno junkie and political pundit of the lowest variety.
So occasionally we come upon a post that captures our imagination.
Read or watch on MacDuffs and mac Duffettes ...
It is posted below from You Tube and Ireland ... posted because check out the full mane (sic - also apparently dyslexic) NAME of the PTE managing efitor.
He's a sucker for the wee Irish lilt .... oh and PARDON MY EEEEEEERRRRRRUUUUPTION! Love the Gav
Crazy as batshit color commentator Dave Lamont unleashes umbrage - to an unabridged and unlikely full-blown apoplectic shitstorm. Listen especially near the end where he spews all over the other guys in the press box. And challenges them to a fight. No cheering in the press box? C'mon ya'Pussies. Hilarious
Kerry Fraser looks a bit concussed here. How many fingers?
Kerry was used to looking at one particular finger in 30
years as an NHL ref. Three blind mice not his fave tune!
By Terrance Gavan - PTE Concussion Expert While former NHL referee Kerry Fraser was in Rochester, Minnesota testifying at the Mayo Clinic symposium on concussions in hockey, a number of professional football players were butt-ended with some hefty fines courtesy of ballsy Commish of the NFL Roger Goodell. Goodell, recognizing the need for some prompt action vis-a-vis helmet to helmet contact in the concussive front lines of the Sunday killing fields warned that if players don't get the hint, the rank and file will start seeing suspensions without pay. That presents a double whammy - with a built in fine on top of withdrawal of service - that could amount to $175,000 in salary lost for some of the higher paid, high profile NFL defensive players. Several NFL defensive noodle-knockers were fined from $50,000 to $75,000 last week. All that in a presumed response to a devastating helmet first hit by Rutger University's Eric LeGrand last Saturday. The junior defensive tackle is paralyzed from the neck down. His condition has not changed since he was injured making a tackle on a kickoff return against Army on Oct. 16. Thus Fraser's message is timely and reprinted here from my column in the County Voice.
Former NHL referee Kerry Fraser was in Rochester, Minnesota last week, puking all over the National Hockey League and its penchant for delusionary claptrap and schizophrenic penny-ante rhetoric regarding hits to the head.
By John Sinclair - Die Hard correspondent PTE Dateline: Winnipeg - AKA Gomorrah (sic) Recent events have prompted me to favour the members opposite's position on euthanasia. Please put the CFL regular season to rest for the Bombers. The only spark of life left in this entire stadium is the pool being developed on who might sub-in at QB should Joey Elliott suffer an upper-body injury and join Gyles and Brink in the sick ward. Man, if it ain't drought it's rain!

By Terrance GAVAN The Phils have played well enough to win the game. However the Giants have a last kick at the corpse in bottom of the ninth. Oswalt comes in to close. Big surprise. Time to whisper prayer to saint abner Doubleday as the winning run is now on first base, Phils And Texas? Wow that ball was nearly walk off. And now the winning run is on third. Looks bad for Phils . Oswalt is fearless. Whee some chin music from Oswalt. ahhhhh! Sac fly and giants win. Bad news Phils ...
OHHHHHHH myyyyyyyy!!!
Mom Can I have a pair of these shoes for Christmas?
Ahh .. shoe companies. Banned in Boston? Nooo.
Banned by NBA - much Better for marketing! Viral
By Terrance Blue Suede Gavan
Pardon The Eruption - market reporter
So here's the dish. A shoe banned by NBA that does for marketer of the wunderfooooot ... what Banned in Boston did for Walden Pond.
And what "Glen Beck is as crazy as batshit" did for a sophomoric non-journalist neanderthal luddite.IE Sold sold sold -- out?
"For the founders of a fledgling athletic-shoe company, there is only one thing better for business than having an N.B.A. star endorse your new shoes: have the league say the shoes will not be allowed on its courts at all.

Gav on Favre and Sterger.
This is not a love story.
Is Brett Favre as crazy as batshit?
Of course he is.
Gav's third rant on YouTube.
And yes he is calling Jen Sterger --- Ms Sturgess?
And he did call Gloria Allred a whipsnipping lawyer.
That by the way not used pejoratively ... but with utmost respect.
Gav's rants are off the cuff so cut the feller some slack!
The whack-a-mole debate.
And why Brett was watching last year's SuperBowl alone with Tiger Woods.
True story.
And Gav broke this story with Deadspin on pardontheeruptiuon.com waaaayyyyy back on August 5, 2010.
Gav erupts, but needs a video editing program ... wait he has one but needs to learn to use it!
Pinnacle!
Anyone got any hints or trutorials?
Read on Macduffs!
Who is that guy on the right?
brett Favre in happier days.
When his little Brett was not the object of derision AND INTERNATIONAL SCRUTINY!
And so Brett and other pro athletes fail ... when they actually begin to believe the nutniks who carry around those posters at NFL Games.
You know the ones.
Brett Favre is God!
Brett for President.
Brett Favre has a small pe - cuniary interest in Wrangler Jeans.
Brett Favre is a Dick.
But a small Dick.
Okay ... so i succumbed to the phallic denouement.
C'mon.
I has to be said.
This is supposed to be fun? Isn't it?
The diva deluded, unmasked and PANTS ON THE FLOOR PANTS ON THE FLOOR!
By Terrance GAVAN A little hard blogging on the ol' iPhone but we move apace with technology. WAtching national league series and another close one in Philly. Hoping for a Philly win of course and over in the junior league I am of course cheering for Nolan Ryan and his Texans. Meanwhile Oswalt is ripping. Had a no hitter going until it was broken up by Cody Ross a no 8 hitter who now has three homers in two games. Cody Ross MVP? Why not? We love close games on a Sunday. That's enough on the text patrol. Gav.
