Could be worse. Could have made the conscious decision that David Luiz was a valuable commodity.

Gus Chiggins?

Fueled by five or six 20-ounce cups a day from the Kuerig coffee maker that is an arm’s length from his desk,

I have an office job with a salary and benefits. Lots of people I know have office jobs with salaries and benefits. I assure you my job exists, period. I also don’t drive Uber. Or Lyft.  I own a house.

Much like the best of list proper, hot damn this list captures a zeitgeist in my young life. It more so drifts into 2000 when all of these were on video.

I had that same excitement hearing the fanfare at the beginning and seeing that blue text before the score kicked in. The rest of the movie had me confused. I felt like that guy on the beach at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan who was just lumbering around looking for his arm. I remember walking out of the theater…

“A total lack of checks and balances on George Lucas’ worst impulses.”

Boy you guys here must really have it out for Office Space, don’t you? Didn’t make anyone’s list. 

Exactly, and he wouldn’t have wanted to work at Tchotchky’s.  That wouldn’t have been fulfilling for him because he’d have to talk to people all day and wear pieces of flair.  But he found a job where he could basically do his work and “be left alone all day,” which is exactly what he said he wanted.  And hell, I’d…

Hm, I’m not sure I agree with any of that. lol What didn’t age well about middle class people complaining about their jobs? Wait I do agree that the ending didn’t make a ton of sense. Just because the building burned down doesn’t mean that the company still wouldn’t notice that it was missing $250,000, or whatever it…

Hey Peter, check out the best movies of 1999 list that doesn’t have Office Space!

Fight Club and Starship Troopers are still regularly misunderstood. I don’t understand how, but it happens. 

That Office Space was left out is mind-boggling.  Is there a bigger cultural touchstone for the time?

Yes, how could they have left off the widely acclaimed masterpiece Detroit Rock City?

Lock Stock... was 1998.

Yeah, and I would think they’re tired of the annual, “Who’s going to Madrid?” sweepstakes (I know I am). Between De Gea for a few years and now Pogba, it’s been 3 or 4 straight summers of the best player on the team wanting out. Dybala would’ve just been another headache in the next summer or two.

United gets linked to everybody. They never made an offer to Pepe. I think OGS had three goals in this window: shore up the D, get players who want to play for United (so glad Dybala isn’t coming) and get a good midfielder. Lots more can happen by Thursday.

Actually, if they finish this transfer window with 1-2 more signings, they’ve had a remarkably good off-season. Selling Lukaku and picking up a midfielder to play on the right side of a central three, as well as a veteran center forward would be a rather complete set of signings.

I know you’re just teasing him, but Elway has proven time and again that he’s the glue that holds this team together. 

Matt Patricia has absolutely, without question, at least once in his life, quit wiping his ass before he was done because it was “good enough.”
