What classic movie should I watch?

Alright, gang, time to pick a movie for this weekend. I have never seen any of the following. Yes, I know I’m the only person alive who never saw A Few Good Men. For those of you who keep telling me to watch 12 Angry Men, I’ll put it back in a poll soon and see if it fares any better. Whichever movie has the most votes by Friday at 5 pm is the one I’ll be watching.

-I took a friend to Astral Plane a few months ago on their final weekend b/c she’s a foodie and I wanted to show her one of my favorite restaurants before it closed. Well, now it’s reopening-sort of.

-SInce I’ve been on a Canada kick lately, here’s your chance to learn a little bit about Halifax. (NSFW due to cussin’). Funny stuff.

Scientists discover 400 year old clam, which raises the question: did this clam kill Christopher Marlowe?

-The “Are they Porn Stars or Fox Business Anchors round”? (SFW) I got a 9 out of 10. Does that mean that I know my FOX anchors…or my porn?

-Coming this afternoon: my Halloween adventure (which included some jackass in a swat team outfit kicking me out of his table) and my review of Dr. Strangelove.

Sports Shorts


-Have you seen the amazing play at the end of the Division III Trinity College-Millsaps College game? 2nd greatest ending to a college football game ever. (Had Millsaps band run onto the field, it woulda been #1). I love how #3 for Millsaps finally just says “The hell with it” and just stands there.

-A bitter debate about the designated hitter broke out in the comments section recently. Here’s some numbskull that thinks that the NL should adopt the DH, and here is an interesting article which claims that the DH is a moral hazard. Bottom line, the DH is perfect for frat boys like Garrett and BMT who hate pitching and strategy and love home runs. I’m not sure where Garret lives in Seoul, but I’m guessing it’s a frat boy suburb where people piss on the streets. And if you see BMT this week, tell him you like his backward Red Sox cap and his popped collar. But keep your distance: DH fans are inherently dangerous people.

-Andy Reid impersonator Steve O. (above) won the Best Sequel contest from September. Yeah, I was a little slow on this, but his Lambada 2: The Dance That’s Been Legal Since 2006 took top honors. Congrats to Steve, who wins a $20 Bards gift certificate and 2 IMAX passes.

Red Sox owner angers many with black power salute


Boston Red Sox owner John Henry decided to celebrate his team’s second World Series win in the last 4 years by raising a gloved black fist to the sky. It was a brazen move by the rebellious owner, and Red Sox nation is not exceptionally pleased. “Hey, it’s great that he’s built a winner here in Boston,” said Sox fan Davey O’Brien, “But does he have to remind everyone that he is a Marcus Garvey disciple who believes in black nationalism? On today of all days?” Added Brian O’Davies of nearby Worcester, “He looked like a nerdy white John Carlos out there. We’ve come a long ways since the 1968 Olympics, and his black power salute was not wicked awesome.”
