Monday Movie Quote #18

I decided to take last week off from blogging. It was Thanksgiving and I decided to put myself into a triptophan induced coma. But I'm back. Hope everyone had a good holiday.

As far as this week's movie, we happened to be quoting this one all morning at work today.

"Walk softly and carry an armored tank division, I always say."

Last week: Sling Blade..."I like them french fried potaters, mmm." Good job Aimee, you got one!

Monday Movie Quote #17

I watched a little bit of this movie yesterday morning. I still think it's a little wierd.

"Coffee makes me nervous when I drink it."

Last week: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. "...And we are Wyld Stallyns!"

My High School Can Kick Your High School's Ass

This past Saturday, my alma mater, Minnechaug Regional High School, won 4 Western Mass championships. The boy's soccer, girl's soccer, field hockey, and girl's volleyball titles were all won by the Falcons. Not bad for a little school tucked into the woods of Wilbraham, MA. It was the greatest day in sports in the school's 46 year history. Plus, no high school in Western Mass has ever won 4 titles in one day.

Not to mention, the football team has qualified for a post-season berth. A chance for another title.

It was never that successful when I went there...maybe because I played soccer. We did have fun though. And we had a bench clearing brawl in our last game my senior year. However, I guess that doesn't compare to a title.

Congrats to the Minnechaug Falcons! Well done and good luck at States.

Monday Movie Quote #16

This one is an all-time classic. Why it didn't win the oscar, I'll never know.

"Do you know where there are any personages of historical significance around here?"

Last Week: Midnight Run..."You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved in your work or I'm gonna stab you through the heart with a fuckin pencil!"

Now That's What I Call "Fantasy Football"

This story makes me laugh. It appears that team comraderie is alive and well among the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders. So much so that two of them took quite a licking...er, liking to each other the other night. Seems that Renee Thomas (left) and Angela Keathley were out in Tampa Bay after their team took on the Buccaneers. They went to a local drinking establishment, had a few pops, and decided to have drunken lesbian sex in the bathroom.

Wooooooooooooo-hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact they were in the bathroom so long that other patrons became impatient and started to create a comotion. This must have broken the girls' focus, because they then left the bathroom. The big problem is when they decided to punch some of the people waiting in the pee-pee line. Oh, and there's that whole thing about one of them giving the cops a fake ID because she's underage. All this resulted in their removal from the squad.

OK, before everyone gets all upset, disgusted, or offended by what these lovely ladies did, think about this...

The cheerleader's job in the NFL is to titilate the fan. They dress in skimpy outfits, jump, dance, and shake their "pom-poms" all in a effort to get guys riled up. These girls were just going above and beyond the call of duty in an effort to get Carolina Panthers fans excited about their team. They also brought a great deal of media attention to a team that has been overlooked so far this season. So I say Bravo ladies. Your love for your team is almost as apparent as your love for each other.

Monday Movie Quote #15

This one's an oldie but a goodie. It got mentioned in VH1's "I Love The 80's :3D".

"Well if you don't shut up, pretty soon you're gonna suffer from fistaphobia."

Last Week: Face Off..."I hate to see you go, but I LOVE to watch you leave." Congrats to Pseudosaint. I didn't think anyone would get that one.

And Theo was his Name-o

I am a Red Sox fan. To those that aren't, this is what it means...

I hate the Red Sox. Everything they do is stupid. The players never try hard enough. They spend too much money in all the wrong places. But when they win...Oh, the joy!

This brings me to the latest way the Red Sox have screwed the pooch. They let the wonderkid, Theo Epstein, get away. The GM that brought the Sox their first World Series title in 86 years has decided he's had enough. Apparently it stems from difficulties between Theo and club president Larry Lucchino. Who should take the blame? Well, there's plenty to go around.

A. Theo, ex-GM He was offered $1.5 million a year. Can't take the pressure? Don't like not having privacy? Go buy some, wimp. What are ya gonna do, pack up and go home? You're from Boston for chrissakes!

B. Larry Lucchino, mentor. You wanted to give the reigns to the youngest GM in baseball and he got you a trophy. Don't try to take them back or even take any credit. Your one job was to make sure he was under contract for the rest of his life and you screwed it up.

C. Dan Shaugnessy, writer, Boston Globe. This chucklehead is, in my mind, the main cause of the rift. Dan continually wrote about trade "rumors", player/management "issues", and contract "talks". Eventually, he wrote one too many articles that belong on Page Six, and Theo got fed up. Dan...you're a jackass.

By the way, Dan's only claim to fame is talking about the "Curse of the Bambino" non-stop for the last 86 years. He wrote a book about the curse, so all he's doing is trying to sell more books. Dan, how about reporting sports once in a while?

So now the Sox have no GM, and the assistant GM (as well as most of the front office) are on their way to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Well, Larry, what now?
