  1. Late to the watch on Leave the World Behind. Liked it. Glad I saved the Spinal Tap, Fargo, Monty Python and Christopher Guest mockumentaries, Beatles Anthology series, Zeppelin and Pink Floyd Pulse live DVDs. But where’s the fucking DVD player? I can understand why fans of constant fast paced action are negging it but I enjoyed the humans adjusting on the wing plot elements. This story ain’t over.
  2. Looked for threads but found none, so posted this. Finished this one last night. To fans of TCM or geezers of a certain age like myself, Archie was a satisfying and entertaining watch. Jason Isaacs nailed Grant’s accent and overall vibe but the actress who played Dyan Cannon and a dead ringer for DC held her own. Found out some amazing details of Archie’s dad childhood and parents, who did much to traumatize him. Great attention to prriod detail throughout. “Jolly well done,” as the man himself might have quipped.
  3. One day at lunch somewhere in the mid to late 70s, I had the pleasure of standing in a wonderfully slow moving line behind (operative word) Sela Ward at Taco Casa, Tuscalosa's then favoite Tex-Mex restaurant. This was during her Apex cheerleader days at Alabama. Mmmmmm-MMH! She was one lovely, long-stemmed blossoming rose and not a bad actress
  4. Last night's game was pretty damn good. The Asian guy, a former public defender from Lafayette LA, literally named Wang (paging Rodney Dangerfield as Al Czervik), won after acing a couple of daily doubles and some tough, odd answers. He bounded across the stage and hugged his defeated opponents, a Marine and a college prof. I keep flashing on Mr. Wang interviewing the denizens of the Cajun Caliboose all of who talk like Coach O. I know Ken is highly intelligent. I just don't like it when he seems to revel in contestant's errors and baits them into betting too much on daily doubles. I wouldn't care if the host was a AI dang roe-butt.
  5. Saw that. Ruined my day. Mama Llama, Baby Llama and I watch Jeopardy most evenings. IMHO Ken Jennings is a walking, overtalking, self-referencing, narcissistic jagoff. Was hoping Mayim could return somehow. Well, just fuck.
  6. Fuck if I know, but one might speculate based on changes and the rate of change since December, 2003: 2003 - 5 apparently set and stable power conferences; champion determined by polls; no legit NIL; no portal. 2023 - Pac “10” kaput; ACC on life support; P “3” alive and well for now; next year 12-team playoff; NIL evolving daily; lubed portal orgasms. 2043 - two 40-team super conferences aligned with air hubs DFW and O’Hare; 24-team playoff; pooled NIL with nationwide player salaries + scoring, sack, pancake and turnover bounties; in-game transfers to opponents or any other team allowed. Well, shit.
  7. Tewww roit, myte! I went to law school with a brilliant guy, a Phi Beta Kappa as an undergrad, a native of the briny backwood swamps and sloughs of south Alabama, who absolutely worships to this day the final scene, voice over fade away, just before the creidts roll.
  8. Did he ever pay Tatum that $200? Paper Moon was my favorite Ryan O’Neal pic as well. I rather liked Barry Lyndon for its depiction of the period, what, mid 1700s Europe? Some nicely buxom wenches there, mate, and cap and ball pistol duels. Bet Farrah wore that ass plumb out. Surprised he made it to 82.
  9. Clark bundled up freezing and crying in the attic wearing the turban watching old super 8 movies makes Mrs. Llama cry every time.
  10. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. My favorite scene was inside the Road Warrior’s car speeding doen the highway, the look on the tied up skycopter geek’s face when the wonder dog, holding a stick in his teeth wired to the triggers of the sawed off shotgun, twitched when a rabbit ran by. Second favorite: when the bad guy “announcer” reach up to grab the boomerang and hig fingers were converted to vienna sausages. Followed by the feral kid’s howl of triumph! Best full speed road action film work ever.
  11. Killers of the Flower Moon. Very well done, IMHO. At least some of the thieving, murdering sonsabitches got justice in the end. Book was excellent, too. Live radio wrapup epilogue was a nice touch. Movie made me want to drive a vintage motor vehicle. Don’t need a Pierce Arrow; a Model A Ford would do.
  12. For anyone not tied to a schedule and looking for a really good Cajun meal not too far off the beaten path, I can recommend Pat’s Fisherman’s Wharf in Henderson, LA, about 20 miles from I-10 on the edge of the massive Atchafalaya Swamp between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. Here’s the view from the deck: This place is plenty good and has been for a long time. Hook ‘Em! Eat ‘em.
  13. When is the CFP 4 actually released?
  14. The Committee always follows the path of least resistance, ergo: 1. 17 years of SECSECSEC / Bama fatigue 2. Georgia loses - OUT 3. UM, UDub, FSU win - STAY IN 4. Texas wins and pantsed Bama in game 2 End of story - the only intrigue will be seeding. Bama plays Ohio State on Jan 1 - ugh but tid what tis. Congrats Longhorns. See y’all down the trail. Interesting road trips ahead!
  15. Relax. Horns will be in and deservedly so. My guys may get left out. Given the way things looked after Bevo wiped his ass on the cursive A in the middle of Bryant-Denny, I couldn’t ask for a better ending to the season for Bama. Michigan UDub Texas FSU. I will savor the shredding of Michigan, whoever does it. Roll Horns.
  16. That, and for early season games when it’s hot as fuck around game time and still daylight out, when the GGs stand at attention, one may observe little dainty drops of sweat falling from the tips of their pert little noses straight down into the lovely valley between their perfect heaving boobs. Picture me as Mel Brooks with the secretary in Blazing Saddles!
  17. Definitely go there when you hate the visiting team. Stroll over to the North Stadium Drive side of the stadium about an hour before kickoff. Have some boudin, a good stiff drink and a nice stogie. Get a local to show you exactly where the band sets up for “Pregame” before they go into the stadium. You won’t regret it:
  18. From your lips to the committee’s ears. Hope you’re right but this bs is so subjective. Weirder, more unjust shit has happened.
  19. Here’s a nasty scenario to cause Surly hysteria: Michigan crushes Iowa. FSU wins the ACC. Bama beats Georgia in an ugly, sloppy game. Texas boatraces Okie State but the committee doesn’t care because they’re enamored with the BIG and Oregon/Washington. CFP: Michigan, Oregon/Washington winner, FSU, Ohio State The cruelest irony: Bama plays Texas in a NY6 game. Improbable? So was 4th and 31
  20. For decades this game had 50/50 seating at Legion Field and was more intense and special because of it (see, e.g., every Texas/OU game played at Cotton Bowl Stadium). I miss that but otherwise, it is always a nerve wracker. I like the TX/OU seating divided at the 50 yard line best. Bama/Auburn was always divided at the goal posts. College football never gets old. IMHO the tag “Iron Bowl” only applied to 50/50 games in Birmingham.
  21. The only sound heard on the Plains tonight is the mirthless laughter of the damned. Those fuckers can’t suffer enouugh. Playing with house money now. Good luck Horns in the CFP adventure. You’re in. It was meant to be, like 4th and 31 tonight.
  22. After wandering in the wilderness for thirteen years Coach: X QB: X QB of the future: X Path to #1: X Saludos, denizens of Surly.
