Truly Random Brainfart Thoughts - Part 24

Here comes the next edition of Truly Random Brainfart Thoughts (click here to see the others).  Basically,  these are a bunch of random thoughts that came to mind that I couldn't really expand on and thought I should just make them into list form for your enjoyment.  Here goes:

• Do you think dentists floss everyday like they tell us to do?
• Fun Fact - Krusty the Clown and Homer Simpson look so similar because the writers were originally going to have Homer play Krusty as a side job.
• Did you know that Sloan from Ferris Bueller's Day Off gets naked in Timecop?  You're welcome.
• I'm proud to say that I've never eaten a McRib.
• Doctor Who sounds more like a cool band name than the title character of a nerdy TV show.
• Why is it so satisfying to replace your windshield wipers?
• If Hitler had sported a handlebar mustache, would that mean it would be okay to sport a Hitler 'stache and not cool to wear a handlebar 'stache?
• Considering that no one speaks Latin anymore, is it strange that one day modern languages like English and French may no longer exist?
• Do you think Indians from Asia get confused when they hear that a baseball team in America is called the Cleveland Indians?
• In today's modern world, how quick do you think people would figure out the secret identities of comic book superheros?  I'm guessing an hour tops.

"Yup, you get to see her boobs in Timecop."

Who Is This? Part 32

Okay, who is this cute kid?  I know you got this one.  Well, I guessed wrong, didn't I?  Fine, here's a hint - somehow this guy has neither won an Oscar nor People's Sexiest Man Alive.  For once, that was a really good hint.  Got it?  Still no?  Damn it!  Here's another hint, loser.  He proclaimed himself "King of the World" in a movie and invaded people's dreams in another.  Yup, that's Leonardo DiCaprio.  I honestly don't see it, but I'm assured that's him.  He looks more like a gremlin than the future stud (no homo) he has become.

So, what has he been up to lately?  According to IMDB, he's got a couple movies in the pipe with one that has a plot of "The frontiersman, Hugh Glass, who in the 1820s set out on a path of vengeance against those who left him for dead after a bear mauling."  A bear mauling?  Cool.

Top/Bottom 5 Movie Roles - Kurt Russell

Here is where I pick a random actor or actress's Top 5 and Bottom 5 Movie Roles (I assume the post title gave that away).  This won't necessarily be the chosen actor or actress's best roles, but a combination of their best and my favorite.  In other words, if there is a tie, I'll go with my favorite.  Also, I won't actually be ranking them, they will be in a random order.  Lastly, this isn't these actor's or actress's best movies, but their best characters.  Let's get started:

Kurt Russell

Top 8

Jack Burton, Big Trouble in Little China - I love, love, love this movie.  Is it stupid?  Yup.  Does it make any sense?  Nope.  And yet, I still love, love, love it.
Snake Plissken, Escape From New York - Go watch this movie again because the "futuristic" technology is hilariously crappy.  Other than that, Kurt made an incredible Snake.
R.J. MacReady, The Thing - I'm going to admit that I've never actually seen this movie, but it's a cult classic and therefore, it had to make the list.
Lt. Gabriel Cash, Tango & Cash - Stupid movie?  Absolutely.  But damn it, I watch it every time it's on for some reason.
Captain Ron, Captain Ron - Another dumb movie that I still thought was entertaining.  Maybe Kurt Russell is just that good.
Wyatt Earp, Tombstone - Sure, Val Kilmer stole this film, but Kurt Russell was still solid as one of America's greatest Western heroes.
Col. Jack O'Neil, Stargate - Recently, I saw Kurt play in a Pro-Am Golf Tournament and he is looking pretty old.  What does that have to do with Stargate?  Nothing.  Suck it.
Michael Zane, 3000 Miles to Graceland - This movie was pretty bad, Elvis impersonators robbing a casino sounds like a good idea on paper, but somehow they screwed it up.  But I still thought that Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner were pretty good in it.

Bottom 5

Shockingly, other than his second stint as Snake Plissken in Escape From LA, he really hasn't had any movies roles that I didn't like.  Seriously, he has had a damn solid career and I couldn't find enough characters to make a full Bottom 5 list, so I didn't.

Stupid State Laws - Georgia 15

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Quitman, Georgia

"It is illegal for a chicken to cross the road."

Finally, I sensible law.  Wait.  It's illegal for chickens to cross the road?  Never mind, this is stupid.  Did some idiot finally get tired of all the lame "Why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes and outlaw them so he would never have to hear them again?  If that's the case, I take it back, this law does make some sense.  In fact, what in the hell was the point of that joke anyways?  It's "punchline" was never funny and this joke should be outlawed.  So, thank you Georgia for finally putting a stop to that nonsense.

"Rookie, what does the law say about arresting and then eating offenders of the road crossing law?"
"Uh, I doesn't say you can't."
"Perfect!  I've been wanting to try a new recipe.  Heck, if you want, you can come over and try it."
"Thanks?"

Saturday's Video of Saturday

Here is our weekly funny video post.  Let's see what we got for you guys:

Set up:  I did the first one of these awhile back and here is the second one:

Summary:  What was the best name?  I can't decide between Fartrell Cluggins, Harvard University, and Benedict Cumberbatch.  I take that back, I'm going with Benedict Cumberbatch because they thought that name was so ridiculous that it should be included in this sketch and I agree.

-You'll notice that I didn't include sponsors' names with each bowl game except for one.  The Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl.  That's because they keep changing their name and it confuses me.  It started as the Peach Bowl, then went to the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl, then just the Chick-fil-a Bowl, and now it's back to the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl.  I guess they had to change it back because it is part of the College Football Playoff rotation alongside the Orange, Sugar, Rose, Fiesta, and Cotton Bowls and being just the Chick-fil-a Bowl would have stood out a little bit in that group.

-Stat of the Week:  Division III team Mount Union has a 129-6 record over their last 135 games.  All six losses are to the same team, Wisconsin-Whitewater.

-The first bowl game between two ranked teams doesn't occur until New Year's Eve.  That's another reason bowl games are pointless.  These (exhibition) games are supposed to be between the best teams in the country and yet more than half of them are between teams that aren't even truly worthy of being there.  They really need to trim down the number of bowl games and spread out the good ones.  Then again, I'll watch a game between two teams whose mascots I couldn't identify if a gun was pointed at my head just because I would rather watch that over basketball any day.

-Last Week's Funniest College GameDay Sign:

"This might be my new winner for funniest GameDay sign of the year."

-Alright, enjoy the rest of the stupid bowl games.

Bowl Game Results: 0-0
Final Regular Season Results: 40-42
