A friend of mine the other day, when I mentioned that we were gonna show Spinal Tap on Monday, said “That’s one of those things that I feel like I’m supposed to like but don’t like.” I’ve heard in the past people say things like, “I don’t like the Beatles” or “I hate Bob Marley.” For me, I think it’s Old School. Everybody thinks that movies hilarious, but I never really laughed much at all during it. I also hate the band Phish, though 8 years ago all of my friends thought it was the best thing to ever happen to music, and I don’t care much for the Grateful Dead. What about you guys? What are things you are supposed to like but don’t? Post below.

We’re gonna be turning it up to 11 tonight at the Trocadero (1003 Arch) with one of the most kickass movies of all time, Spinal Tap! A very special Wheel of Terrific kicks things off at 7:30 p.m. Hope to see you there!

Let’s plow through this so I can get outside and enjoy this beautiful day. On Monday, we saw Strangers With Candy after a Wheel of Terrific that witnessed one of our funniest games yet, the $100,000 pyramid. I’m not going to explain it, b/c you might get a chance to see it again this week at Spinal Tap. But trust me, it’s damn funny. It was the first time I had seen Strangers with Candy, which was actually a really fun movie.

On Tuesday, there were no surprises, as the Young the Old and the Restless won at O’Neals and the Sofa Kingdom continued their dominance at the Bards with a 102. Three members of Team MAGMA played at the Bards, finishing second. Will we see a new rivalry form? Only time will tell.

The JAMS were noticeably absent from the Locust Rendezvous, as the River of Rocks won with a score of 97. The Black Sheep was the scene of a shootout, as old timers the WTF came away with a 108-105 win over Satan’s World, a superteam of the Minions and Duane’s World.

On Thursday I came home, ate lots of turkey, and hung out with my peoples. On Friday I played in an alumni basketball game at my old school and didn’t exactly shower myself with glory. I also realized just how pathetically out of shape I am, as some 24 year old hot shot on the team decided we should play man to man defense and a run and gun offense. About two minutes in, my tongue swoll up to about 4 times its normal size, restricting my breathing and leaving me gasping futiley for air. Meanwhile my legs began to wobble underneath me, causing at least some concern that I would simply callapse to the floor. Unlike most basketball games, scoring was not my main goal. Simply remaining upright for five straight minutes was a feat in and of itself, and after that time, I staggered off the court, proud that I had not humiliated myself completely. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that I would humiliate myself completely, as I blew three layups and airballed a three pointer (I told everybody that it was partially blocked, but no-one believed me) and we lost by 4. It was an ill fated return, like Jordan coming back to the Wizards, and the rest of the team whispered amongst themselves about how they would have won if it wasn’t for me. I cried myself to sleep that night.

On Saturday, I saw my first ever girlfried, Mara. She broke my heart when I was 15, and I stayed up all night crying. We were together for over a month and a half, and it still ranks as one of my longest and most fruitful relationships. Anyway, she is now pregnant, causing me to finally come to grips with the fact that it’s over between us and I need to move on. Well, that about wraps it up. I’ll see you at the Troc manana for Spinal Tap. Hope you all had a great holiday!

It’s time for everybody’s favorite, rap questions. I’m gonna post rap lyrics under the pics of the winners. You’re going to tell me what the song is and who the rapper is. Word to ya mutha!

Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert star in Strangers With Candy tonight at the Trocadero (1008 Arch). The Wheel of Terrific kicks things off at 7:30 p.m. Hope to see you there!

It started on Monday, with the Wheel of Terrific and Half Baked at the Troc. It was a very special Wheel, as the lovely Ginger filled in for Chip. The crowd was great, and went wild when we played “Stoner Price is Right” and “Who’s the Dealer?” Another game that was a big hit was “Beer or Crap”, as a lucky contestant picked the right box and went home with a beer instead of a Barbara Mandrell album.

The action continued on Tuesday, as at a charity gig at O’Neals on Tuesday night, a team called Flirting for the Cause blew the biggest 4th round lead in quizzo history, 18 points, to lose to 5 Infidels and a Heathen. (above)

Hey gang, I’d really like to show more old classics at the Trocadero, but I need to know if people would come to support them before I pitch them. I know there are a lot of classics out there that people have never seen on the big screen. So let me know if you would come out on a Monday night to see Dr. Strangelove, which is in the top 20 ranked films of all time on IMDB, by voting in the poll on the right.

Spinal Tap won the vote, with with 29% of 158 votes cast, edging out Rushmore. So Spinal Tap wil be the film showing on November 27th. Thanks for voting, gang. And remember, you can’t dust for vomit.

Polls will be closing tomorrow in the vote for what movie we’re gonna be showing at the Troc in two weeks. It is an extremely tight race as of right now, so your vote will make a huge difference. Just scroll down a bit and look on the right side of the page to vote.

Half Baked is gonna be showing at the Trocadero (1003 Arch) tonight, with the Wheel of Terrific kicking things off at 7:30 p.m. Tonight will include special co-host “The Lovely Ginger”. Now, this movie is about weed, but I’d like to remind you: marijuana is a deadly, deadly drug, and anyone who is suspected of coming to this movie with a reefer buzz will be summarily executed. Discipline must be maintained.
