Memorable Movie Lines

Just going to add these as they occur to me.
I don't think I'll identify which movie they come from.  If anyone's reading and really want to know, just ask.

1. I've never seen a bond company stooge stick his neck out like that.

2. I've had cookies before.

3. Your girlfriend dresses like an Amish bag lady.

4. Is it okay to break up with a girl because of the operating system she uses?  Windows ME? Come on...

5. The next time I see Paulie Bleeker I'm going to punch him in the weiner.

6. He doesn't even deserve a birthday present, going out like that and getting drunk...without me.

7. Sketch it up, you fucking moron. Fucking Leonardo da Vinci...
    yeah, I called you a fucking guinea homo from the 15th-fucking-century, you dickhead!

8. Q: How can you be a nymphomaniac if you've never had sex?
    A: I'm very choosy.

9. Listen pal, you can't waltz in here, use my toaster and start spouting universal truths without qualification.

10. Your poem brought my period on a week and a half early, so shut up.

11. No, Donny, these men are nihilists.  There's nothing to be afraid of.

12. My boy says he can eat 50 eggs, my boy can eat 50 eggs.

13. Nooooo, I'm Leon Spinks.

14. Hang on, Social Services!

15. How's the Jihad goin', ya cheap fuck?

16. Q: Are you packing?
      A: Yes, I'm putting away this liquor.  

17. Do you know the difference between your mom and a washing machine? When I dump a load in a washing machine it doesn't follow me around for three weeks.

18. Dear sister, I shall drink as much as I like at any party I see fit to attend, and as much as I like is as much as I can hold.

19.  Q: Are you pregnant?
       A: Only if you put something in my eggroll.  And then put my eggroll in my - 

20. He's been licking his asshole for the last three straight hours. I submit to you that there is nothing there worth more than an hour's attention. I should think that whatever he is attempting to dislodge is either gone for good, or there to stay. Wouldn't you agree?  



Buckle Up for Game 7: Friday's Big Boy

                                                                  Oh boy.


After all the chatter about Patrick Kane being invisible in the first few games of the Western Conference Final he's been easy to spot the last two games.  With two goals, including the game winner, and an assist on the game-tying goal, Kaner once again wears The Belt.

                                          
                                             I'm only gonna show you this once...

Trust only The Admiral for all your rodent capture needs






                             I don't know from Star Wars but this cracked me up.

Uh, what else do you have?






                                                       What were they thinking?

Up Too Late and That's Okay: Tonight's Big Boy

With their backs against the wall The Hawks pulled off a 5-4 win in second overtime and have forced a Game Six rematch with The Kings.






With 4 assists, including a helpie on the game winning goal, it has to be Kaner.

                                                     One more trip to L.A....

Seriously?

Peter Regin was good enough to play 11+ minutes in the last four games but sat out tonight in favour of Bollig who can only be "trusted" for 6½ minutes per game.  I'll also note that Regin has not yet taken any boneheaded penalties behind the play that resulted in subsequent PP goals for the opposition.  Just sayin'...

We'll Tell You When to Get Up: Conference Final, Game One Big Boy

There was no shortage of candidates to don The Big Boy Belt in today's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles.  Crawford, with 25 saves, Toews, Keith or Hossa with a pair of assists...






The Big Boy for Game One, though, with a goal and a helpie, is Brandon Saad.





                                                                      Kneeeeel!

Eight More: Second-round ending Big Boy

So The Hawks won their division but it wasn't anything like easy, was it?  Even after winning four out of six games it seemed to me that The Hawks were outplayed in four or even five of those games.  Well, buckle up, lads, it's gonna get harder soon enough.






As for last night, though, after his overtime winner how could The Belt go to anyone but Patrick Kane?





                                                                 Showtime!

Hawks Lead Series 3-2: Sunday's Big Boy

A hard-fought, back and forth battle tonight resulted in a 2-1 victory for The Hawks and within one win from eliminating Minnesota.



Leading the charge with the game winning goal, Captain Serious, Mr. Jonathan Toews.



                                                               I AM smiling.

An Undeniable Sign of Spring: Sunday's Big Boy

Forget green grass, warmer weather and people suddenly interested in walking their dogs...



...for me, a sure sign of spring is Bryan Bickell bursting into action in the playoffs.  By virtue of another goal (almost two!) and a couple of helpies in The Hawks' 4-1 win over Minnesota, Big Bick wears the belt until Tuesday (at least).




                                                         That was in, bitches.

Round Two: Game One Big Boy

Eleven to go.



Despite being outshot 32-22 The Hawks prevail in the first game of the Divisional Final vs. Minnesota.  There were multiple candidates for The Belt, with five Hawks notching 2 or more points tonight, but we're going with the guy that broke the game open...Mr. Mullet, Patrick Kane.



                                                             Bah!  Pylons.

Twenty Years On...

Yesterday and today mark the twentieth anniversary of the Black Weekend at Imola, site of the 1994 European Grand Prix.

               Roland Ratzenberger, July 4, 1960 - April 30, 1994: Potential unfulfilled.

Here is a nice story on the late Austrian driver: A Racer Through and Through


           Ayrton Senna da Silva, March 21, 1960 - May 1, 1994: The Best of All Time

And a story on Senninhna: Senna History

It seems incredible, to this day, that no drivers have been killed during an F1 weekend since that awful weekend that claimed not one, but two drivers.  There have been some close calls, as Massa, Burti and Hakkinen come to mind, and a few spectators and course marshals perished in mishaps, but thankfully, there have no further driver fatalities.
