In light of my unfathomable omission of Scott from the blog of yesterday’s game, I’d like to offer up a little penance from the Buzzards’ Scribe in honor of Thunder.
By the way, for the record, after an initial “no” response to the “Who is playing?” email yesterday, Scott was the first one down for the game and grabbed the back on the way out to the pitch. He made a few stellar grabs for scores, three of which I threw, including the game winner. Finally managed to time the chest bump right on the last one.
Back to my penance, a Top-7 list of All Things Thunder
Thunder Road – A Springsteen anthem from the 1975 album “Born To Run”, an almost consensus selection of anybody’s Top 10 Rock & Roll albums of all time and partly inspired by the 1958 Robert Mitchum movie of the same title. Ironically Scott looks a bit like Robert Mitchum. “We’re riding out tonight, to case the promised land, oh-oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road”.
Zeus – Greek god of sky and thunder. He preferred to throw a thunderbolt from his right hand, Scott prefers the flick.
“Days of Thunder” – Quintessential guy flick…early in the movie as Tom Cruise is playing a driver trying to make the NASCAR circuit and is test driving another driver’s car for the very first time calls over the radio “I’m dropping the hammer”….it’s an obscure Ultimate reference.
Ford Thunderbird – here’s a nice T-bird of Scott’s vintage…
Blackberry Thunder 9500 – In honor of Scott’s connectedness. We love that he mobile updates his Facebook page.
“Sons of Thunder” – Perhaps better known as James & John, a couple fishermen in Galilee. One blogger suggests these two would be pretty fierce body checkers.
Celtic Thunder – something like Yani on Guinness.
