I wish my high school pep rallies were more like this

It is a weird tradition. How do they make one high school hate the nearly identical neighboring high school? Man, high school was the worst.

Word of the Decade

Matthew 7:1 - (māth'yōō sev-uhn wuhn) - 1. (verb/noun): To not condone the judging of others. Used to indirectly judge someone thus gaining the higher moral ground. (see backdoor insult)

Usage: I knew she was a terrible person for voting Bush but I just Matthew 7:1ed her lest I be judged.

I am sick of his holier-than-though attitude. We should open up a can of Matthew 7:1 on him.

You Want This Car

I don't care if you are a fat, prescription drug addicted, neo-con radio talk show host who would rather the world end in global warming than admit he is wrong (you hear me, Clark Howard?)
Anyway, you want this car.

The Joy of The Wicker Man

I can't believe I was ignorant of this for so long. Many great YouTube videos but I picked this faux trailer made in Shinin' tradition.

Best Animated Film of 2009

Forget Up and certainly not Princess and the Frog. I am talking Ponyo by Hayao Miyazaki!

I watched too many movies as a child...

Cinematical has an on-going featuring going through the movie releases of summers past.  The most recent article was on the summer of 1998. I probably saw most of these on good old VHS and cable. I will asterisk the ones I remember seeing in theaters and bold the ones I own on DVD.

• He Got Game
• Les Miserables
• Deep Impact*
• Bulworth
• Godzilla** (saw twice in theaters)
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
• The Truman Show
• Can't Hardly Wait
• Dirty Work*
• Six Days, Seven Nights
• Mulan
• Dr. Dolittle
• Out of Sight
• Armageddon*
• Lethal Weapon 4
• Small Soldiers
• There's Something About Mary
• The Mask of Zorro
• Mafia!*
• BASEketball
• The Negotiator
• Halloween: H20
• Snake Eyes
• The Avengers
• Blade
• Wrongfully Accused
• Dead Man on Campus

I need to change my ways.

 Best movie is easily The Truman Show followed by Out of Sight (I remember falling asleep watching Out of Sight the first time, a rarity for me at any age). Difficult to pick a Worst Movie of the Summer of 1998 but I would go with Six Days, Seven Nights for being utterly forgetable. Although, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was painful to watch.

LOL, remember Disturbing Behaivor? I sorta do. It was like the bad The Faculty (which is saying something). Teaching Mrs. Tingle? Surpisingly good. Kevin Williamson FTW!

And remember the Mark Wahlberg/Reese Witherspoon vehicle called Fear. "Let me in the house" FTW!

I am back Atlanta. Summer '09! Woooooooo.
