Well, it looks like everyone hates the Ring of Elders. Just four of you managed to vote or abstain in week 1, and only two of you managed to vote on the second nominee. For what it's worth, the Good Doctor did make a comment about the Ring of Elders, but he did so on a post which had nothing to do with the Ring of Elders (and his comment was about Urkel).
After two weeks, the Ring of Elders, quite literally the Mount Rushmore of our Gentlemen's Game mind you, consists of Brother Man (2 votes) and David Icke (1 vote). This week's nominee is...
Blues Traveler
Aliases: Black Hole Sun, John Popper, The Harmonica King, El Tigre Rojo, Neck Babies, Big Fat Fatty

Historical Antecedent: The Beatles
Memorable Quote: “From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.”

from Wikipedia: Blues Traveler is widely considered the greatest musician in the history of the world. He began performing in 1987, traveling the American west with his harmonica and playing at hole-in-the-wall bars. After acclaimed music producer Danny Tamberelli recognized Traveler's greatness, he was signed by Paramount Records and instantaneously began playing in front of legions of fans at some of the most spectacular locations on the face of the Earth – including the Golden Gate Bridge. 1994 was an enormous year for Traveler, as he released the singles “Blind Melon” and “Black Hole Sun” from his triple sold out platinum album 40 Licks. Traveler used to be extremely overweight but had gastric bypass to fix that.
UPG moment: soak it in...
decidedly un-UPG moment: Traveler's 1999 release of an experimental record under the name Chris Gaines
Every vote that I am eligible to cast goes towards putting BT on our Mount Rushmore. In fact, I think his likes and dislikes may actually be identical to my "About Me" section on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, I think the good Admiral has just unveiled the Martin van Buren of our esteemed Mount Rushmore. I vote yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
ReplyDeleteYes for me as well...are we taking votes for who the admiral should consider for future selections? If so, I hereby ask the league to consider Jack Dalton from MacGyver, Wayne Arnold from The Wonder Years, and Little Pete from The Adventures of Pete and Pete.
ReplyDeleteGood Doctor,
ReplyDeleteDid you pick up on the Danny Tamberelli reference in the post, or do you just like The Adventures of Pete and Pete that much? Either way, bravo!
The Admiral
The Doc just likes Pete and Pete that much, way too much in my opinion. The same goes for his views on MacGyver and The Wonder Years.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is no for Blues Traveler. He guest starred on too many episodes of Roseanne to be on any mountain of mine.
Furthermore, I am going to have to nay every person because Bruh-man only got two votes. He has to be on the mountain.
