This may be DRLP in the Youtube thread but I don't want to dig in there to find out. If you haven't seen this animated short depicting Dock Ellis' LSD-induced "No-No," then I feel supremely confident about the chances of you enjoying the next five minutes of your life.

Hey! Anybody going to this game tomorrow night? If so, do you want to meet up with Oleg and I beforehand? We plan to drink heavily. Let me know if you'll be in the 'hood and want to hang. Hope to see you there. Unless you're Paul.

Ok, I locked the Purdue thread. Let's do this right.

I just want to get this good and lubed a few months early. Because it's gonna be rough in here. Oh, shit yeah.

Called Hoff's excellent swing on the pinch-dong off Ohka. Second time he's called a HoffPOWER Jimmy-Jack this season.

Fucking awesome. I'm a little too happy right now.

New HBO mini-series from the makers of The Wire. Ed Burns and David Simon wrote and produced it. It's about the Iraq War invasion from the perspective of the first Marines in.

Burns and Simon said in an interview somewhere that they aren't concerned with a political agenda here and that they're only concerned with "getting the story right" from the perspective of those who lived it.

Pretty refreshing actually. The first episode has them at Camp Mathilda on the Kuwaiti/Iraqi border itching and clamoring for battle. They seem to believe that the sledding will be as easy as it was in the first conflict, though they do take precautions for gas attacks that seem odd now knowing what we know of the Iraqi WMD arsenal.

The first episode ended with them rolling into battle. The scenes were shot in South Africa and I think they've done an excellent job of making the battlefield look terrifying. Knowing what we do of the fight ahead, the smoke-filled sky and artillery in the distance sound eerily ominous on a level that few war movies have achieved. Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers spring to mind as films in which the fear and dread of what lies ahead is palpable in the foreshadowing of the first fighting. This exceeds those in my opinion, perhpas because I personally know several Marines who were in that battle. All of them came home a little worse for wear mentally.

Find out when they re-air this and get caught up on the first episode. The second episode airs Sunday night at 8. You communist.   

Please tell me I'm not the only one here in love with this cartoon. I would think our Futurama heads would be all about it.

My girlfriend bought me both seasons on DVD for our anniversary. All I got her was some snazzy looking Japanese tea set. You have to get girls nice things. Pretty things. Things they won't ever use. You listening, boys?

Check this out:

Chris Williams anyone? Rashard Mendenhall? Jeff Otah? Trade up and take Dorsey? Trade out altogether and take Rick Mirer again?


What sayeth?

This is a cool new show on AMC, Sundays. Bryan Cranston (The dad on Malcolm in the Middle) plays a high school chemistry teacher who learns he has inoperable lung cancer. He's got a handicapped son and a pregnant wife. So he decides to start cooking up meth with a local dipshit drug dealer in an attempt to make some money for his family before he dies.

Insanity ensues.

The show has excellent dialogue, decent acting and tremendous cinematography. It's just weird enough to remind one of a Coen Bros. picture. It's more disturbing than depressing. More surreal than anything.

I give the first episode a 3/4. If you have Comcast you can get the first two episodes OnDemand. I'm about to watch the second episode right now.

Give this a look.
