  1. Hope it was the "most punchable faces" thread.
  2. One of the underlying themes of the movie was that the built up legends of the gun fights as told in Sal Rubinek's books were really just seedy bushwhackings. Then, during the majority of the movie, Little Bill won every fight by getting the drop on someone and beating the shit out of them while someone else held a gun on them or they were tied up. The two people that Eastwood and the kid killed were caught (in one case, literally) with their pants down. Then, at the end, William Muny gets drunk, rides into town, goes into a bar totally outgunned, and utters the line, "I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned." After everything was said and done, at the end of the movie, was the one real gunfight for him to write about. And it was totally true.
  3. They believe what they're paid to believe.
  4. You think that didn't already happen midway through the 3rd quarter? I'm sure aggy was singing that song by halftime.. Midway through the first, but yeah.
  5. Good game... Good game... Good game... Fuck you... Good game...
  6. I will never get to sleep tonight.
  7. Hey, Georgia was right. After they played Texas, Florida was still their best win.
  8. Well, I tell ya man, you jes take a l'il bit o that WD40 an roll it around in them spark plug holes...
  9. This post needs more love.
  10. Wow. Just wow.
  11. Is ESPN using Thujone's roller coaster?
  12. Yeah, gonna have to change my plans.
  13. Apparently I'm going to watch Oklahoma State blow a game they had in hand.
  14. I go beyond not getting Ferrell to actively avoiding his movies. The couple I've watched portions of seem like one of those one gag Saturday Night Live skits where they take a one off gag and make it into a fifteen minute skit, except the movies last over an hour. For me, even in an absurdist movie, I have to believe the character. I believed Gene Wilder in Willie Wonka and Young Frankenstein. I believed Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future. I believed John Belushi in Animal House. I believed Jeff Bridges as the dude. Ferrell's never come across to me as anything other than a guy half assing lines for a Saturday Night Live skit.

    Friends..

    I don't really have friends. I have pleasant acquaintances I work with. I have some buds that I'll road trip to games with when we're all working the same game, but other than a get together with some other photographers for the odd lunch, I can't recall the last time I got together with someone that didn't involve business. The only social situations I'm ever involved with are either work related or because my wife wants to invite the neighbors over. I teach full time, then teach some classes on the side, and do photography as a side business. By the end of the day, I've had all the social interaction I want. I don't look back. I don't interact with anyone I knew in high school or college. Had a great time at both, but feel no need to go back and find people from then. I worked 20 years at Austin Fire. Had a great time. Retired and left eighteen years ago. That part of my life is over, and I have no need to go back and relive old times. Just finished twenty years at the college where I teach. Don't know how much longer I'll be there, but when I leave, I'll move on to the next thing. I've had a couple of times in my life where I tried to go back to something I'd left, and as far as I'm concerned, Thomas Wolfe was right. You can't go home again. Every time I went back to something I'd left, all I found were shadows of the past.
  16. Yeah, I've never forgiven Bud Adams for firing Bum, trading Earl, moving the team and refusing to leave the name even though he wasn't going to use it, so the Titans can lose all the time.
  17. Well, all right, then.
  18. Quick trivia fact: There's a third Manning brother named Cooper. He has to sit at the kid's table at family reunions.
  19. Don't know quite how you figure out it's a good movie if you haven't seen it. Movies with good reputations that I don't want to see: My Left Foot The King's Speech Saw it. I know it puts me in the minority, but if they had taken out the whole Jack and Rose love story, it would have been a really good dramatization of the sinking.
  20. By worse, do you mean better?
  21. Army scored again?
  22. Harbaugh seems like one of those guys who doesn't get along with anyone who has an opinion.
  23. OK, so seriously, is Michigan just incapable of throwing deep? They're doing all this slip pass and go to the side stuff down by three scores.
  24. That was the most Fuckalong Jones offense I've seen recently from a team that was down by three scores in the 4th.
