Pirate1974

The Wolf Man

Jack Lemmon Mr. Roberts Henry Fonda

It is an amazing story. I don't know how many people would be that calm under those circumstances. The Fulton County Sheriff's Department is going to be in hot water over this. That female deputy should never have been alone with a guy like that. Plus there's supposed to be a video surveillance tape that shows Nichols overpowering the deputy, taking her gun and locking her in the cell. The video camera is supposed to be monitored by two officers and apparently nobody saw what happened until after he'd already killed three people. Not good.

Exactly, and hope some idiot doesn't knock your towel and clothes onto the wet floor.

The fastest shower I've ever taken in my life was at the Sidney fairgrounds in 1973. Couldn't have been more than 20 seconds. Yuck.

Carolina played like they expected Georgia Tech to just curl up and die. They'd better get that intensity back that they showed against Duke or it'll be a short run in the tournament.

Saw it Thursday night on Fox. The visuals are awesome. You don't get to see all that much of the characters, except Anakin. There's about a 1-second shot of Amidala, who's supposed to be pregnant in most of this movie. The trailer's not on starwars.com yet, but it should be there soon.

It was good to see Rashad McCants back and playing well after missing six games with an "undisclosed ailment." They're going to need him to make a run in the tournament.

A line from one of my all-time favorite movies: It's the story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.

You really think there is anybody out there that doesn't know this one, maybe the most recognizable tv theme of all time? Well, I guess it is possible. This one hits close to home, literally. I live about a 90-minute drive from the real town that inspired this series. It did jump the shark after that one character left for sure.

A Knight's Tale?

A true story (supposedly) Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example offered by an English professor at Southern Methodist University, English 44A, SMU, Creative Writing, Prof. Miller. In-class Assignment for Wednesday: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached." "The following was actually turned in by two of my English students: Rebecca (last name deleted) and Gary (last name deleted)" STORY: (first paragraph by Rebecca) At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question. *********************************** Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit. *********************************** He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth -- when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully. *********************************** Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion which vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow 'em out of the sky!" *********************************** This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semi-literate adolescent. *********************************** Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. *********************************** ..... *********************************** Bitch.

King Arthur?

I used to listen to a talk radio station at work and they took off a really good local call-in guy to put on this Dr. Laura. Trying to save a buck, I guess. I listened to her for a while until I couldn't stand her any more. It amazed me that people would even call her to subject themselves to all that abuse. Some goober would call in and say he was living with his girlfriend, a subject that really sets her off. She'd go ballistic and rip this guy a new one about "shacking up," and 20 minutes later another dork would call in with the same story and get the same treatment. I didn't get it.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Sean Connery The Man Who Would Be King

Well, I could maybe see your point if it's a casual acquaintance or something, but with Lois or Jimmy Olsen who spend so much time with him, it just seems goofy.

The Bizarro World used to irritate the hell out of me when I was kid. I thought it was stupid. That's one of the reasons I quit reading Superman and went to Marvel. That and the fact that I finally realized that Lois Lane was a complete moron because she couldn't recognize Clark Kent without his glasses on. -->

Stakeout Richard Dreyfuss American Graffiti

No, I was never paranoid or nervous, mainly because I already knew exactly what I was going to say in case I got nailed. Basically, the same "words" every time, which sounded like the first person who showed me who sounded exactly like VP in the last session of pfal. The "interpretation" may have changed a tiny bit, but not much, so no sweat. I'm a good Boy Scout so I believed in being prepared.

Tough loss by Illinois, but they might still hold on to #1. Awesome game by the Heels yesterday. Sean May - 26 points and 24 rebounds. The most rebounds by a Carolina player since Rusty Clark in 1968. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember when he played.

According to Wavy Gravy, it's the brown acid that's bad. ;)--> Red kryptonite does weird things to Superman like turn him old or split him into two people.

They would only have to win six NCAA tournament games for the championship.

I'm not having one of those in my house. I know what can happen. I saw "I, Robot." :)-->
