I’ve now seen this commercial for some “Mummy” DVD about 100 times (which doesn’t say much for how much I get out, but …) – I think it’s Mummy 3, but for all I know it could be the 37th of the series. Anyway it boasts “Roger Ebert says it’s the best of the Mummy Series!”
Do they think that we’re so stupid that we don’t realize that this could be 100% true and yet the movie could still and probably does still suck?
Arthur Fonzarelli: It was the best liver I’ve ever tasted!
I’m thinking that my advanced age may have made that reference too obscure so I stole this from somewhere else on the internet. My guess is that it’s more entertaining than the Mummy 3: The Quest for Brendan Fraser’s Charisma!
Fonzie & Liver – Arthur Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler) the ultra-cool garage mechanic on the sitcom HAPPY DAYS/ABC/1974-84 was just about the toughest guy on the block. But, in the presence of a piece of wet, drippy brown beef liver, the Fonz withdrew in horror much like a vampire in the presence of a crucifix. As he said “I don’t like that. I don’t eat that. And I don’t go out with guys who eat it.” On episode No. 72 “The Muckrackers” the Fonz’s friend Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) decided to expose Fonzie’s phobia of beef liver in a front page story in the school newspaper. At first Fonzie asked Richie not to run the story and even resorted to threats, but integrity ridden Richie would not bow to the pressures that would curtail the freedom of the press. Not the kind of person to let a weakness control him, the Fonz finally got the nerve to eat liver and overcame his fear. Fonzie also had a hard time admitting he was “wr-wr-wrong.”
Truth be told I stopped rooting for this team the day they cut Bernie Kosar. When the team first left it was just icing on the cake, but now our relationship has moved from indifference to out and out hate.
Tonight, the local Fox affiliate will be showing the 4-9 Browns led by a third string quarterback instead of Prison Break. A game that any loser diehard with a television set could watch on ESPN.
I can live with wide receivers who can’t catch. I can live with a head coach who looks like the monster that ate Cleveland. I can live with the most boring offense in the history of the NFL.
I can’t live without Prison Break. Damn you Cleveland Browns.
As Joe Strummer said “Go straight to hell, boy!”
By the way, the pre-game show had this poll, which shows how exciting this game will be.
Will the Cleveland Browns score a touchdown tonight?
UGH!
Postmortem: Philadelphia 30 Cleveland 10
The defense scored the touchdown.
I’ve been hearing that Roger Clemens might not make the Hall of Fame – so I’m opening my own Hall of Shame – possibly in Scranton, Pennsylvania or Compton, California.
Along with Clemens, our initial induction class will include:
Pete Rose: All Time Hit Leader
Barry Bonds: All Time Home Run Leader
Joe Jackson: Second Highest Career Batting Average
Our motto will be – if you’re not cheating you’re not trying and I’m thinking that we’ll be unbeatable when faced in a real game with the actual Hall.
We’re also currently in negotiations with Cooperstown to pick up Gaylord Perry and Ty Cobb
Isn’t it every Secret Service agent’s dream to take a shoe for the President? Where were these dudes when the Buster Browns were being fired? Obama better forget health care and reorganize his security detail. Those dudes just ambled over to that shoe thrower as if he was a irate toddler throwing a fit.
