Yapcunt Regional: No. 2 Giant vs. No. 7 Packer
TALE O' THE TAPE

This matchup might appear to be one-sided on paper: Brobdingnagian versus lowly abattoir wage slave. But before you jump to any rash conclusions, remember Andre was only slightly larger than your average steer. Plus, they know how to get rid of the bodies. Incidentally, this bracket is only more fucked up than my NCAA one (thanks, Temple and Georgia).

Poll is on the sidebar to the right. Voting is open until the end of today.

Contestant

Packer ______ Giant


Slogan

Beef: it's what's for dinner ___________ OBEY


Distinction that sounds less cool the more you think about it

Feeds nation that consumes 28 billion lbs of meat a year __France's best-known athlete


Unlikely ally

Upton Sinclair _____ The Million Dollar Man


Unintended legacy

Trite, yet enduring, “meat packing" double entendres __ Gheorge Muresan made a movie


Occupational hazard

Squalid working conditions amid tons of diseased carcasses ___ ditto


Finishing move and notable copier of said move

Captive bolt gun to skull (Anton Chigurh) __ Massive heart attack (Ken Lay)

  2. Andre The Giant thrashed hundreds of meat-packers during a career that spanned three decades.

    Plus, I heard he once drank 1,000 beers in one day.

    Can't beat that.

  12. Part of me is embarrassed for everyone. The other part of me would like to add... weren't the costumes in Atonement spectacular? She looked like a little doll!

  13. I just wanna take this time to laugh at Bill Simmons for having USC in the Final Four. Everyone please enjoy. Besides that, Giant hands down.

  17. @flub: Who was it? I like to be specific in my pointed laughter at the failings of others.

  18. With you on the NCAA bracket, flubby. Only it's BYU and Georgia that fucked me over.

  19. I had initially put USC in the FF because I didn't want to go with Kansas and I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I pick Georgetown to win anything. But then I switched back to Kansas early yesterday.
