Peter and David Paul, aka the Barbarian Brothers, in The Babysitters (1994). Genuinely jaw-dropping, in all sorts of ways. Watch just a few minutes and you’ll get the picture. The rest is… much much more of it.
Edit: Oh my God, one of them just dressed up as the Metaluna Mutant!
Apocalypse Now.
Yes, for the millionth time. Maybe it’s the Paddy’s Irish and the mixed “iced coffee” mixer, about which I’m very ashamed.
But, in truth, it’s that I found out that this very good coworker on my team at work was a 1st Lt. in army from 1960 to 1968. I assume LT1 was his final rank, no idea about his background. Doesn’t seem like a college guy, but maybe OCS or field promotion.
I don’t think that I’m going to ask him about that, but I did give him a jovial “Officer and a gentleman” once I saw his picture and rank on the wall. He was not ashamed, and appreciated the respect I gave him. I’ve always given him, though…him and everybody else on me team.
I knew that my OpsMgr was MSGT AF, did 20 years in service. And one of our other OpsMgrs pulled SMSGT (“Senior master sergeant”), but not directly in my department.
So, I don’t know.
I think the Texan, 1LT, was pretty flattered when I briefly jostled him about it. He’s a plain-spoken guy, just moved up here to be close to his grandchildren, but I always wondered how come he’s so polite and plain-spoken, and yet, never bristled one bit when I unloaded some very salty language in his earshot.
He’s probably heard a bunch of shot.
Stanley Cup Game 3 Let’s go AVS!
I decided today to watch The Bubble, which will be featured later this season. I am 90 seconds in and I am already angry.
I don’t expect tonight to be anything like Saturday night. Then again, I don’t know that anyone expected Saturday night to be like it was.
They got less fight-happy as they dug their way out of the hole. But when NYR was leading in the series and in game 3, they were getting rather fighty.
No, I am not expecting another rout like Saturday. They have back-to-back Cups for a reason.
But, man the fighting just needs to stop. This isn’t the 1990s anymore. People don’t go to a fight and a hockey game breaks out. It’s just the opposite these days. I get the frustration, but that isn’t the way to deal with it.
That’s an entirely different kind of game.
Damn typos. LOL!
EDIT: Man blue lipstick is NOT a good look!
Okay, this is now sufficiently weird enough as to be enjoyable… so far.
EDIT: NOPE, ANGRY AGAIN. “Eight and a half months too late” is… BOOOOOOOOOO.
She had that last year as well. I can’t help wondering if she’s single-handedly keeping that color line from being discontinued.
Devil Fish
Man, after reading the story behind that movie I am utterly shocked it actually got made. Poor Coppola had to deal with so much s-word to get that film off the ground. Between the horrible weather, dealing with helicopter crews that often had to fly off at a moment’s notice to put down Communist insurgents in other parts of the Philippines, the copious amounts of drugs on set, Martin Sheen suffering a massive heart attack in the middle of filming, the unplanned year-long shooting schedule, oh and let’s not forget, MARLON EFFIN’ BRANDO being a total contrarian on set, it’s a miracle that film ever made it to print.
There’s a behind the scenes documentary that showcases a lot of what Coppola had to do to get that film made. I think it’s called Hearts of Darkness.
“OH NO, NOT THE ORPHANS!”
Mets-Astros. One of my favorite teams against the renowned cheaters.
I don’t even watch baseball and I knew immediately which team was which!
