It wasn’t me, but I did that once: visiting my parents’ with our one year-old, drank too much, stayed up too late and grabbed the first tube that looked like travel toothpaste. It’s not like there could be multiple tubes of goo on a sink counter that small, right?

The game did generate an amazing quote from Kobe: “I could sense they were like, ‘I really don’t want to touch him.’ ... ‘Is this going to be an 81 type of situation?’”

Anyone heard from Wayman Tisdale recently?

If WEEI and 98.5’s callers seem like a perfectly normal sampling of humanity, I suggest you move. Possibly to somewhere with a stronger school system.

Serious question (ding dong, yo) — did any of you actually read that whole article? Because I got blindingly pissed about 100 words in. Bad enough to do the rhetorical question thing in there, worse still to think I’d be calling you by your self-provided, made-up nickname.

Anything with a toll was financed through the sale of public bonds that were backed by the promise to collect tolls. It’s a pretty fair usage fee except they (almost) never get removed once the bonds are paid off.

Shadow of an erect nipple or sweat stain around one? Guess I’ll get some sleep next week.

I think you need to look at the comments over at the original link. Turns out they settled because the world is totally politically correct, because Gloria Allred and because non-white/ non-male people have it really easy in today’s world.

I thought the shirt gave away his amazing math powers. Maybe it’s set theory.

Decibel meter.

“You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!”

Meant to mention that. The climactic scene might be the best/ crassest example of the modern world having no room for heroes.

I feel like most of Peckinpaugh’s films are about guys from a more noble (imagined) past. Heck, his first film, Ride the High Country is explicitly that, doubly so given the casting of two idols from the serials days.

Every once in a while when the dog annoys me I think, “Wish I dipped.” I love Chief Dan George in that.

Without disagreeing and speaking partially from memory, I think The Searchers is a much tougher, darker movie nowadays. I can watch The Wild Bunch any time and find something enjoyable but man John Wayne’s character in The Searchers is something different: a man who’s found justification for the wholesale slaughter of…

The final shootout lasts maybe 10 minutes, and to 1969 audiences, it must’ve felt like Scarface multiplied by Hard-Boiled to the power of the Normandy Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan.

Sean Taylor really brings out the best in people.

Sounds like a job for Carlos Danger!
