Therefore, I call him Captain Beefheart.
He says insane, outlandish things on a daily basis. He is a very annoying sports fan. We discussed John Thompson a week ago. Away we go:
(some of this is paraphrased)
(cb is Beefheart, me is me)
(Thompson is doing color on radio broadcast of Tourney)
cb: (after hearing Thompson's voice) Ugh. Turn it off. This guy is the worst.
me: What's wrong with Coach Thompson?
cb: He was a terrible coach. He let the..ahh..monkeys..uh..run the insane asylum down there.
me: What? How's that?
cb: All those guys are head-cases.
me: Who?
cb: Patrick Ewing?!
me: Ewing wasn't a head case..
cb: (interrupts) Iverson!
me: Oh, come on. Iverson's stable. And what about Mourning and Mutombo? They are by all accounts "good guys."
cb: Yeah, but he was a terrible coach. He didn't win the right way.
me: How's that?
cb: He was always complaining about..ahh..SAT scores.
me: Prop 48.
cb: Yeah, whatever. He and that other guy I don't like..from Temple..they were always complaining.
me: They both won alot of games. Thompson produced three of the best centers of the last 25 years and a bunch of NBA players...
cb: (interrupts) HE STINKS! (leaves room in a huff)
We discussed Coach Chaney before. Beefheart expressed excitement at the start of the Temple season this year because, as he put it, "They might be good this year now that they have a good coach." I reminded him Chaney's in the Hall of Fame. To which he responded, "He didn't thrill me."
