  2. That gas isn't going to pump itself, chief.
  3. If we are going on quality of acting, lots of room for secondary characters, and not just have it be "look at all these statute winners," I'd argue, along with Heat, Aliens has one of the better overall casts you will see in a movie. Everyone nails their lines and scenes, from start to finish, especially Paul Reiser and Bill Paxton. Carrie Henn's performance, in retrospect, is very flat, but it actually works as a traumatized child within the space of the film. Boogie Nights really doesn't have a flaw either, other than Heather Graham can't act, but she sure is good at being hot.
  4. Sounds like everyone has been locked in their dorms since yesterday evening.
  5. Lewiston is a weird place. It's a long dead mill town with a sizeable francophone population that is poor. Plus one of the largest Somali communities in the country. And an elite Liberal Arts college that plays home to the children of East Coast wealth every fall/winter/spring (the town vs. gown is off the charts).
  6. Everyone is safe, I appreciate the thought. Pretty upset about the whole thing though.
  7. Did somebody say Joel Klatt? Never a wrong time:
  8. When I was in HS in the early 90s, some friends and I were headed to a HS soccer game. One of my buddies was drinking a 40. The rest of us sober, including myself as driver. The Westlake PD must have seen us chilling in the parking lot before the game, and decided to hassle us. Cuffed, leaning on the cruiser after the initial "How's it going, Boys, why don't you step out of the vehicle." When they started to search the car, I objected, like any teenage dickhead, and the officer's partner promptly bounced my head off the hood. Saw stars/slumped to the ground, etc. Eventually, they figure out they don't have much more than Minor in Possession for my buddy and some sort of ticket for me, so they call our parents. My other friend's dad, a prominent attorney at Brown McCarroll, shows up at the station to pick us up, takes one look at the huge bruise starting to emerge on the side of my face as I'm sitting on a bench in cuffs, and asks to see the shift leader quietly. I heard yelling for about 10 minutes, another more senior office comes running in, the next thing I know, I'm being apologized to by the head of the Westlake PD. My mom still grounded me for most of the rest of my senior year.
  9. Carr sucks, but he isn't helped by the terrible O line and the fact that Carmichael and Dennis Allen suck balls.
  10. The Twitter idea is genius. subbing allows the defense to sub. That’s part of the reason the sign system has arisen: it’s a way to get the play in and keep pressure on the D. Im also not surprised that Schiano was too dumb to change his indicator sign from series to series. Arrogant fool.
  11. I assume every team quietly does this. I’m sure there’s an alumni at just about every opponents game who happens to have his iPhone out during offensive series and taping the game. That video then just happens to end up in the coaches hands. Some GA then locks themselves in a basement office and goes over the tape. That Harbaugh would be arrogant enough to do it so openly and brazenly also doesn’t surprise me at all.
  12. This. The rapidity at which Michigan fans have thrown their holier than thou attitude over the side for Harbaugh is breathtaking.
  13. Just in: Football coach does thing that every other football coach does. More at 11.
  14. Soooooo.. I assume the NCAA is also going to open an investigation to the 2001 Oklahoma Texas game as well.
  15. This is the second year in a row Oregon has lost to UW due to Lanning being unnecessarily aggressive on 4th down.
  16. Both my kids could have seen it, but sadly it’s cloudy in Eugene. Boy 1 saw it in San Antonio and said it was one of the coolest things he’s ever done.
  17. Just running the dive, playing off coverage to force the other team to take 3-4 minute drives, and milking the clock right out of the gate should get you the W. What a disaster. Looking at that schedule, I’m not sure I see another win except maybe Arizona.
  18. Reminds of when I saw Ewen McGregor had returned to the Star Wars universe a couple of years ago and I was musing outloud "why?" and my wife immediately answered "Oh, I saw he just got divorced...."
