Hey, Georgia was right. After they played Texas, Florida was still their best win.

Will Ferrell + John C. Reilly = Holmes and Watson (Dec, 2018)
I go beyond not getting Ferrell to actively avoiding his movies. The couple I've watched portions of seem like one of those one gag Saturday Night Live skits where they take a one off gag and make it into a fifteen minute skit, except the movies last over an hour. For me, even in an absurdist movie, I have to believe the character. I believed Gene Wilder in Willie Wonka and Young Frankenstein. I believed Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future. I believed John Belushi in Animal House. I believed Jeff Bridges as the dude. Ferrell's never come across to me as anything other than a guy half assing lines for a Saturday Night Live skit.

Friends..
I don't really have friends. I have pleasant acquaintances I work with. I have some buds that I'll road trip to games with when we're all working the same game, but other than a get together with some other photographers for the odd lunch, I can't recall the last time I got together with someone that didn't involve business. The only social situations I'm ever involved with are either work related or because my wife wants to invite the neighbors over. I teach full time, then teach some classes on the side, and do photography as a side business. By the end of the day, I've had all the social interaction I want. I don't look back. I don't interact with anyone I knew in high school or college. Had a great time at both, but feel no need to go back and find people from then. I worked 20 years at Austin Fire. Had a great time. Retired and left eighteen years ago. That part of my life is over, and I have no need to go back and relive old times. Just finished twenty years at the college where I teach. Don't know how much longer I'll be there, but when I leave, I'll move on to the next thing. I've had a couple of times in my life where I tried to go back to something I'd left, and as far as I'm concerned, Thomas Wolfe was right. You can't go home again. Every time I went back to something I'd left, all I found were shadows of the past.

SNF: Colts at Titans
Yeah, I've never forgiven Bud Adams for firing Bum, trading Earl, moving the team and refusing to leave the name even though he wasn't going to use it, so the Titans can lose all the time.

Cowboys @ Giants: Season Finale
Well, all right, then.

Cowboys @ Giants: Season Finale
Quick trivia fact: There's a third Manning brother named Cooper. He has to sit at the kid's table at family reunions.

Good Movies You Have No Interest In Seeing
Don't know quite how you figure out it's a good movie if you haven't seen it. Movies with good reputations that I don't want to see: My Left Foot The King's Speech Saw it. I know it puts me in the minority, but if they had taken out the whole Jack and Rose love story, it would have been a really good dramatization of the sinking.

2018 Peach Bowl - Florida vs. Michigan
Harbaugh seems like one of those guys who doesn't get along with anyone who has an opinion.
-
2018 Peach Bowl - Florida vs. Michigan
OK, so seriously, is Michigan just incapable of throwing deep? They're doing all this slip pass and go to the side stuff down by three scores.
-
2018 Peach Bowl - Florida vs. Michigan
That was the most Fuckalong Jones offense I've seen recently from a team that was down by three scores in the 4th.

Alamo Bowl - Washington State vs Iowa State
Oh. I thought y'all were talking about Purdy's mom.

Favorite Eastwood Movies
Yeah, she was really effective as a woman that was hot enough to lure you in and crazy enough to scare the hell out of you. Always thought Fatal Attraction was a rip off of Play Misty for Me.

Favorite Eastwood Movies
Eastwood was never afraid to try stuff that was totally different. Sometimes it was jarring to see his character play totally against type. BTW, Play Misty for Me was his directorial debut. Yeah, he banged Archer's mom. Another weird movie was The Beguiled. Also, Tightrope. I tend to ignore all the Sondra Locke movies.
