Friday (Movie Quotes) edition: Wha’ Happened?

kingpin.jpgLet’s start this day with a link to a happier time for Roger Clemens — albeit a cinematic event that might need a rewrite. In case you forgot, good ol’ Roger was in “Kingpin,” and he portrayed the role of “Skidmark.” In a memorable scene, Roger catches Randy Quaid’s character dancing with his woman. And, well, we all know now that confrontation is a little pot-and-kettle these days. But here’s the clip. And now, on with the movie quotes! These have no rhyme or reason this week except that we’re trying to turn it up a notch to stump Roughkat.

1. I have a question for you real quick. What did you think of my demo? Did you get it? … I was gonna listen to that, but then, um, I just carried on living my life.

2. How does an average guy like me become the number one lover-man in his particular postal district? He’s grumpy, he’s broke, he hangs out with the musical moron twins.

3. There’s an old joke — um: two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of ‘em says, “Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.” The other one says, “Yeah, I know; and such small portions.” Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life — full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly.

4. I don’t feel the sickness yet, but it’s in the post. That’s for sure. I’m in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I’ve ever known will soon take hold of me. It’s on its way.

5. The ball is round, a game lasts 90 minutes, everything else is pure theory. Off we go!

6. Listen, here’s the thing. If you can’t spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.

7. Word is they’re going to repeal Prohibition. What’ll you do then? … I think I’ll have a drink.

8. No I will not make out with you. Did ya hear that? This girl wants to make out with me in the middle of class. You got Chlorophyll Man up there talking about God knows what and all she can talk about is making out with me. I’m here to learn, everybody, not to make out with you. Go on with the chlorophyll.

9. See that man over there, we arrested him for mopery. … What’s mopery? … Mopery is exposing yourself to a blind person.

10. What *are* these electrolytes? Do you even know? … They’re what they use to make Brawndo! … But *why* do they use them to make Brawndo? … Because Brawndo’s got electrolytes.

Fasola-link! This will be us in about 5 months.

Mila Kunis is completely underrated. She looks [redacted] good in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”. Check this movie out.

9- Revenge of the Nerds.

And I’m pretty sure jama is right on 6 being Rounders.

10 is Idiocracy, a killer premise but overall pretty bad movie.

jama says:

Who’s in Idiocracy? Is one of the Wilson brothers in that?

Michael Rand says:

a true group effort. Well done. By the way, they sell “Brawndo,” that drink from Idiocracy. The thirst mutilator. And I agree the movie itself wasn’t that great, but there were enough funny parts to make it a potential cult classic.

RE: Brawndo. That makes me laugh, as I’m old enough to remember Rondo, The Thirst Crusher.

It…didn’t taste very good. Think carbonated Lemon-Lime Gatorade with a zesty touch of what might have been urine.

Anyone that would rather do the Brawndo Mile tomorrow is more than welcome to substitute it for beer. You’ll have to provide your own Brawndo, however.

Sad news, RandBall will not be at the Beer Mile tomorrow. Apparently he has plans to attend the Preservation Party to save the Icelandic Snow Owl. There’s only 13 left.

You got that info on the beer mile available again? I’m much to lazy to look back at posts from a couple of days ago.

Stu says:

May 2nd, 2008 at 10:29 am

The only info you need to know is that I still might be there. All else is trivia.

roughkat says:

May 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 am

I just need to get your email address and I can send you the evite.

jama says:

What kind of trivia is it? I’m pretty good at Pop Culture and Sports triva.

jama says:

I’ll send it to you when I get home from work.

roughkat says:

Basic info is that its tomorrow at 1pm in south Minneapolis.

Just got to that marathon story and here my 2 cents.

First, the guy went out way too fast, even admitting that running 7:30s in the beginning was faster than he wanted. Big mistake. You can’t win the race in the first couple of miles, but you can definitely lose it.

Next big problem that caught my eye was him trying to eat some Gu at mile whatever and not being able to eat it. This needs to be part of your training. Find something you like and bring it with you on your long runs. You’d be surprised how much your taste buds change their minds after a couple hours of running. You aren’t just training your legs for the marathon, you’re training your stomach. Make Joey Chestnut proud.

Let me know if you need any other marathon training tips.

You didn’t read the whole story, the reason this person didn’t know what they were doing is because they were a uterine-american. That should explain the problems.
