Strategically placed fatness

This article explores the reasons why NHL teams don't employ the World's Fattest Twins (you know, those guinness book records holders who are famous for being fat asses?) as their primary and back-up goalie.

On a completely unrelated topic, "Superbad" is one the funniest movies I've ever seen. The crasser the humor, the more amused I am. If that makes me immature, so be it. "Shoot 'em up" is also very funny, but for completely different reasons, but for reasons that still probably make me immature.

"Stardust" is just a plain good movie. And that's one that is actually family friendly, unless you believe any movie about witchcraft is evil. Of course, that would leave me to ask "how did you find this blog?"

i laughed so hard i cried reading that...

also, Superbad is a suckier ripoff of Can't Hardly Wait and Dazed and Confused. the later probably with the only merits worth mentioning, including one of the best soundtracks in cinema.

I think the level of awkwardness is much greater in Superbad. The middle is much slower, but I just like crass humor. It makes me laugh, and laugh, and laugh. I did enjoy Dazed and Confused very much. I hadn't really considered comparing the movie to anything.

Have you ever seen the show "freaks and geeks"? If not, consider getting it from your local library (if they do that sort of thing). It was a really funny show, with tons of up-and-comers. I just like Judd Apatow, and Seth Rogen a lot. There was going to be a movie coming out this summer called "The Pineapple Express" or something, but not so sure with the stupid strike. Hope they finished filming prior to it...
