Sports-wise, don’t you just love this time of year? You said “no!”. Really? Are you on (more) drugs (than usual)? Let’s flash forward to late July-hmm, I could take in a baseball game [flips channel] or another baseball game [flips channel again] or another baseball game. SO MANY CHOICES! As far as college ball is concerned it’s Xmas tourney time and by my figuring approximately 32 of the top 25 teams are playing this evening. In the junior footed ball The Battle of the T’s features Temple/Toledo. In the NBA the only thing worth turning to during the commercial of a game that is actually interesting is Mavs/Raps. Once again the NHL does some heavy lifting-quality games include Mtl/Min, Ott/Fla, StL/Bos and Chi/Dal. The Rangers and Detroit are also skating their hearts out.
Last night’s schedule:
– Lax practice from 6-730
– Cousin over to cut the hair of all three Fozz spawn
– Dinner at 8:30
– Wife leaves to go Xmas shopping
– Huge brawl between both elder spawn, no winner declared
– Youngest spawn washed and bedded
– Brawl #2 goes to eldest, who hit middle child with remote control car
– Bourbon applied to wound, then to me
– Bedtime Brawl goes to middle child
– I watch episode #2 of Man in a High Castle.
So just a normal Tuesday is what you’re saying?
My dad just woke up in the middle of the night and I think immediately faceplanted. We have a strict don’t bother the other person in their bedroom if the door is closed code set up but I am kinda worried.
I lurked in the hallway til I heard him snoring. He is alive. I then went for a cig and he turned his TV on while I was out

OK, good day to you sirs.
If you are working tomorrow, hopefully you can leave early.

And a Merry Moosemas to you sir.
I pity you poor fools who have not seen Mothman Prophecies. A skin-crawlingly good film, even if it does star Richard Gere. Only two movies in my life have given me nightmares: Night of the Living Dead (which I saw when I was maybe five or six), and Mothman. It’s… it’s an experience. And if you REALLY want to stay up all night for a week, read the book.
I thought he was good in it, the script fit.

In all our years together, Moose, I genuinely cannot discern if that is sarcasm or not. Regardless, I love this film.
No, I hate Gere is some movies (Pretty Woman) and liked him in others, such as this; he is one that has to have the right script or he is just fucking irritating.
But I understand your skepticism.
I didn’t like it as much as you did, but consider it an enjoyable movie for sure. One of his better films.

Forgive me then. While I’d rather shoot myself in the thigh with a nailgun than watch Pretty Woman, I do concur that Gere is actually capable of acting. I also understand that a lot of others don’t get Mothman, but, from a personal and just thriller fan, it’s a good’un.
It’s also a Moosemas film!
I really miss Joe Bob Briggs!

umbrage
“Umbrage” comes from the Old French ombrage (shade, shadow), and it was once used to talk about actual shade from the sun. It took on various figurative meanings having to do with doubt and suspicion or the giving and taking of offense. To give umbrage was to offend someone, to “throw shade.” However, these days when we see the term “umbrage” at all, it is more likely to be because someone is taking, rather than giving it.

I know my opinion is not popular. I also know it’s my opinion, and I don’t drag this one out much because people don’t share it, or want to hear it. I appreciate SW for the art direction which is amazing, but I find the story lacking.

Also: this article (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/22/us/oberlin-takes-culture-war-to-the-dining-hall.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur) is pissing me off, for lots and lots of reasons, not least of which is the following quote:
Earlier this month, students with the school’s black student union protested outside of the dining hall at the Afrikan Heritage House, after demands for more traditional meals, including more fried chicken, went unmet, according to the campus paper, The Oberlin Review.
Are you FUCKING kidding me?! Ten years ago, making a fried chicken joke in relation to an african-american student union would be considered an unforgiveable cultural offense, and now they consider such a meal “traditional?” I can’t keep up with this shit any more.

Oh for fuck’s sake someone was pissed that General Tso’s Chicken was made with steamed instead of fried chicken, somehow mis-appropriating the cultural heritage of the dish. THE FUCKING DISH WAS ORIGINALLY MADE IN AMERICA.
The “Africana community” has DEMANDED the creation of “segregated safe spaces for students of color, and an annual 4% increase in their enrollment,” and clarified that these are “demands, not suggestions,” and if they are not met, they will take action to rectify the situation.
What the fuck is wrong with people? Seriously?
Isn’t General Tso’s Chicken supposed to be hot? I’ve only ordered it once or twice and I felt nothing.
Are we sure that’s not an Onion article?

While I see your point, I originally read the article thinking they would be mocking these kids. When it became apparent they were reporting this as actual news, my blood boiled.
There have actually been several instances in the last few years of schools serving fried chicken for black history presentations and getting raked over the coals for it. It’s kind of a weird gray area because while certain foods have become associated with stereotypes, many of them have an actual cultural history. I think it being offensive or not should be based more on someone’s intent and/or presumptuousness rather than just declaring it across-the-board offensive. I also think I’m spending way too much time thinking about this.

I haven’t bought a pirated movie on the streets since Crimson Tide, back in the mid-90s, on Broad St in Philly. It was such a bad cam version that the title showed up as “RIMSON TID,” so that’s what I refer to the movie as for all time.
“Rim, Son Ted” was a very different movie.
