  1. I'm confused. I thought your mascot was Sandrone, a character from Italian commedia dell'arte, dressed up as a cowboy.
  2. After many decades on this planet, I think Okie State may be my favorite school I'm not a fan of. I've always liked their uniforms, found their coaches interesting, and they don't seem to take the fact that they are the 2nd team in a shithole state very seriously. They blow lots of games but they always seem to be in the fray. Plus their mascot makes children cry. They're attitude seems pretty good. I hate to admit it but if they aren't playing Texas or Stanford I'm always rooting for them.
  3. I'd shit on purpose just to change the focus from my claustrophobic hysteria. After about 30 seconds of pausing, I'd find the biggest guy on the tram and ask him to knock me the fuck out, because in 45 seconds I would LOSE MY SHIT.
  4. You guys need to let this go. We're Texas. What the fuck do we care?
  5. In descending amount of bullets Wild Bunch Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia One False Move Red Rock West Bad Day at Black Rock (I don't have much memory of Red Rock so I may be way off on that.)
  6. Good because I was having trouble with the first episode, other than the deli ham.
  7. When he's draining it at the same time he is offering it to Daniel San. I chortled.
  8. Fuck any of you for discussing LBJ when we are discussing Okies. Don't bring the man down to that level. LBJ had pieces of Okies in his stool.
  9. I could watch for about 10 seconds before I threw all that shit in front of the tv on the floor. Cool on the VHS though.
  10. The Maggie (1954) I loved this odd little flick. It's been in my netflix queue for about five years. I put it in after watching Sweet Smell of Success because I wanted to see a couple more of Alexander Mackendrick's flicks. I had no idea that after Sweet Smell Mackendrick really didn't have much success. This thing is awesome if you want to be transported to Scotland for 90 mins. It's a weird cross between one of John Ford's british isles movies and Local Hero. Or something like one of Powell and Pressberger's early stuff. Just low key and thoughtful and funny and British as hell. It's an "Ealing Comedy" -- I think this British studio cranked out a bunch of these little comedies post WWII.
  11. Yep, I always hated it, but was in 235 or so for a game (Founder's Club) earlier this year and it was nice.

  13. Not really a national issue. The primary issue if something like this really happened would be the panic and destruction that would result from people vying to become one of the chosen to go into the mile deep bunkers -- an issue that was barely touched by the movie but would have pretty interesting. Because the ratio in those bunkers would require one man for every ten women. I hasten to add that since each man would be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
  14. I'm too busy listening to all the Neil Young I never got around to.
  15. I don't really think there was anything to "get". It wasn't a particularly subtle satire. I didn't know who the fuck Ariana Grande or Kid Kudi were until my daughter told me who they were so at least now I feel my indifference is justified. So while I enjoyed the movie, I think I still probably missed tons of inside jokes. I take a bit of offense that it's been compared at all to Dr. Strangelove because come on! I'm thinking it terms of black comedy satire, something like In the Loop or even Burn After Reading did a better job of capturing political rot. I think this movie excelled because it was really tight and captured some vibes from lots of genres. But in the end, it's almost as if it was almost "too soon" in relying on the idiocy of the past four years. Too many of the characters and jokes seemed like copies of real idiots. Adam McKay arguably did my favorite movie of the last five years, The Big Short. I think this one fits in nicely between his Will Ferrell comedies and something as cool and great as The Big Short.
