So I'm playing Madden '08 on my computer, and my fullback gashes the C/G gap for a 2 yard first down.

Madden says : "That's what kind of player this guy is. He told his coach 'if you need two yards, I'll get ya two yards'. His coach asked, 'What if I need you to get me 6 yards' ? He said 'I'll get ya two yards'."

I found that fun :)

Real Steel has maybe the worst ad campaign ever. It's been going on since mid June, IIRC. I'm so fatigued at this point I feel like 2 or 3 sequels have been released. Please make it stop already.

Heh... still a week away from release. And I still have no desire to see it.

It looks horrible this movie. Unspeakable bad. I feel bad because I like Hugh Jackman and it was filmed, at least in part, in Michgian, so I would like it to do well, but it looks like utter crap.

JediKooter 09-29-2011 11:00 AM

Saw the first trailer for The Thing last night...I am worried. :(

If it was filmed in Michigan, and looks like utter crap, I'm guessing that makes it a good geographic representation of the state.

JediKooter 09-29-2011 11:10 AM

What's with Michigan and it's fascination for robots?

I can't figure out whether it's trying to hype itself as a bad-ass futuristic boxing movie, or a warm-hearted father-and-son movie. I've seen trailers that lead heavily in each direction, and if the trailers themselves have me confused as to what sort of movie it is, the movie itself will probably be even more confused and meandering.

Maybe it's reboot of this movie: The Champ (1979) - IMDb

From the first time I saw the trailer I couldn't get "Over The Top" out of my mind. It's today's "Over the Top"!

JediKooter 09-29-2011 12:09 PM

I've come to believe that San Francisco is Spanish for "South Seattle".

The next 600 times you hear the exact same audio drop will not be as entertaining.

I mentioned in this thread once before that I am virtually incapable of talking to blondes. A blonde was just hired to be the lead on one of my work projects. I've technically worked with her before, but this is the first time that I'll have to actually work closely with her and communicate one-on-one. I'm scared. I'm not good with girls, especially blonde ones. :(

Video: J.C. Penny Pulls "Sexist" Phoebe Cates Ad

JC Penny forced to pull an ad of Kenny Mayne saying "J.C. Penney realizes you don't like advertising for clothes. Who does?" If you look at these smart fashion choices from Van Heusen, we're going to show you this." (and then showing the iconic Phoebe Cates walking out of a pool from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", because it was sexist.

Here's a hint, folks. He's right. The only way you will get us to pay attention to JC Penny and Van Heusen shirts is to get our attention some other way. Don't like it? Change the freaking channel.

Suicane75 09-30-2011 04:30 AM

I went to JC Penny and masturbated on all their garments. I do what I'm told.

you could kind of see that coming though. kind of surprised it took this long

Ksyrup 09-30-2011 07:02 AM

Is the difference between JC Penney and beer companies that the people who shop at JC Penney don't have sex, but the people who buy beer do?

The first time I saw that commercial, I figured it was going to be my last time seeing the commercial. I'm surprised I actually saw it once after that before it was axed.

Me too. I'm still probably going to go see it when it comes out, regardless of the reviews it gets.

JediKooter 09-30-2011 01:33 PM

Just noticed that a guy here at work (who recently got married) is now hyphenating his name. Hot Tub Time Machine instantly came to mind.

terpkristin 09-30-2011 01:34 PM

The guys who make the Gears of War games always use really good, really appropriate music in the ads for the games. First game had "Mad World," and I really like the one that is used for the Gears 3 ad.

This thing people have....where they insist on conversing loudly and sharing nothing at all. This thing is something I cannot relate to. I'm fairly certain that I'm slowly going deaf, and I'm not sure that I will mind.

stevew 09-30-2011 01:43 PM

Or conversely....everyone needs to cut their volume by 2/3.

Trola, can't we all just act like we're in a library.

Dodgerchick 09-30-2011 02:35 PM

I have a dirty little secret. If I wish someone a happy birthday and it's between 5am-6am, I'm most likely posting from the toilet.

Ksyrup 09-30-2011 02:41 PM

Damn, how do you sit for that long without your legs going numb?

There was a girl on our floor freshman year in college (eventually the GF of my roommate) who told us that that was when she knew she was done and it was time to get up - when her legs had fallen asleep.

dola - "Alter" is what you do when you cut your balls off. "Altar" is where you exchange vows.


Suicane75 09-30-2011 03:29 PM

How long do I have to be sitting down before my balls go numb?

JediKooter 09-30-2011 03:44 PM

How big are they?

Pumpy Tudors 09-30-2011 03:45 PM

When my wife sits for more than 30 minutes, my balls go numb. Not sure how that happens. Probably because she cut them off 7 years ago and put 'em in her pocket.

Suicane75 09-30-2011 03:47 PM

I didn't think Tudors was YOUR real last name.

JediKooter 09-30-2011 03:47 PM

Didn't they already come with their own sack?

Suicane75 09-30-2011 04:01 PM

Stacey Dash is single now. Time for me to get my sex on.
