    We have to deal with that with those assholes from Vandy (and soon you will, too) but I can't discern which team this guy's rooting for.  

    Regardless, he needs to be drawn and quartered.

  2. I haven't read through the whole thread, so I'm sure all of these have been mentioned.

    It's hard for me to nail down "the" movie of my generation's high school but in the top 2 would be:

    The Breakfast Club

    Fast Times at Ridgemont High

    Back to the Future

    In the running:

    St Elmo's Fire

    Weird Science

    Ghostbusters

    Honorable mention:

    Purple Rain

    Class

    I've watched Super Bowl XII a number of times, but I don't recall that I've ever watched a YouTube video of the 1977 NFC Championship game against the Vikings that sent the Cowboys to the Super Bowl that year.

    Watching this, I'm struck by two things.  1) How boring just about anyone of the previous 2-3 generations would find the offensive play, and 2) The tackling.  There's just no defenders lowering their heads and trying to knock a guy down with their shoulder(s).  Tacklers keep their heads up, and bring their arms to wrap up on every tackle.

    My God, how I miss that second part.

     

     

    Nearly spit my drink out laughing.  Another way things have changed:  Toward the end of the game, the color guy says, "Roger (Staubach) runs like a sissy, doesn't he?"  LMAO

    Agree with consensus regarding the cunt kid.

    Funny story re: monkey.  A few years back, my gf and I were walking across a bridge in Nepal, and a macaque was walking toward us along the concrete rail of the bridge to our right.  I pointed at him to tell my gf how cute he was, and he flinched as if he thought I was trying to knock him off the bridge (it was about 30 ft down to the dry stream/river bed below.  

    After he flinched, he completely stopped and turned around to face us as we walked away and he literally shouted at me, and I mean he was furious.

    It's incredible how alike we are to apes/monkeys, because I guarantee you he was shouting, in monkey language, "Fuck you, you DICK!"
