A Cathartic Event

Judge Cameo: And you, Mr. District Attorney, I'd like to point something out to you in the penal code:  Section C, Paragraph 22: "Celebrities are above the law."  This case is dismissed. Quick:  What movie? Rene Russo    Jason Alexander    Randy Quaid        Robert De Niro    Janeane Garofalo    Carl Reiner    Jonathan Winters        John Goodman David Alan Grier    ..    Jeffrey Ross    Billy Crystal    Whoopi Goldberg   ↓ I remember seeing something about this movie, and I remember having zero inclination to watch it even if it was free, which it wasn't, aaaaaaaaaaand even though they were one of my favorites; ..not interested. In 2000 I was consumed by AlGore's attempt to take the White House and the subsequent Florida coup attempt. I just watched it.  This is perhaps the greatest animation feat ever, and it's funny as hell, and your kids can watch it.  Really.

Michelle Roque;QB

Ninth ranked Florida State had their collective asses handed to them by 18th Houston in the Peach Bowl.  Why?  Because their most popular  QB didn't suit up? TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Michelle Roque never heard back from Jimbo Fisher, so Florida State's most celebrated football player will be watching No. 9 Florida State play No. 18 Houston in the Chick Fil-A Peach Bowl from home on Thursday. She's the most popular student on Florida State's campus -- as confirmed by the page views, worship from adoring strangers, autograph requests, nods from NFL players and Twitter marriage proposals. Count Seminoles players among those agog. Fisher largely ignores social media, so he probably missed Roque's offer and what much of Florida State was buzzing about earlier this month: her 19-play highlight reel that includes 38 avoided "tackles" -- 13 on one play -- 11 touchdowns, seven completions, one reception, one interception, one diving stop on a male quarterback and an all-purpose yards total that would challenge Christian McCaffrey. "I even tweeted Jimbo," Roque said. She hoped he would consider her at quarterback. Roque, the Florida State flag football star and a member of Delta Gamma, melted social media with her complete disregard for the emotional and physical well-being of rival sororities. A video of her sending players tumbling as they grasped at air went viral last fall, but that was merely serving as the accelerant for a sequel that ignited the internet -- a full-length highlight tape replete with flailing bodies, slow-motion jukes and an 808 drum beat. [Keeping Abreast ...] Jimbo Fisher might have told reporters:  "Hey, I have enough problems with these boys raping women to being with; ain't no way I'm serving one up in the locker room."

25 REASONS WHY WE LOVE SCOTLAND C/R

Dinner For One

Germans Celebrate New Year’s Eve with ‘Dinner for One’ Great Fun “ We went to a New Year Eve's party here in Cuenca last night that was hosted by some friends of ours that are German.  Bill and Elke have been watching this thing every year, since they teens, when it was released in 1963. - Cuzzin Ricky and Cuzzin Lady Friend Do you know who Freddie Frinton was? Or May Warden? Nope. Don’t feel so bad. If English is your native language and you live in the US or the UK, then you’re not alone. But a German would likely know the names, or surely at least know their most famous characters. Mr. Frinton and Ms. Warden, who died in 1968 and 1978 respectively, truly would have been forgotten were it not for their roles in a short, slapstick comedy called “Dinner for One” that almost inexplicably is a staple of German television on New Year’s Eve. Versions of it are also shown near the end of the year in other northern European countries. The sketch, also called “The Ninetieth Birthday,” profiles the elderly Miss Sophie, a seeming scion of the English aristocracy as she celebrates her 90th birthday with four friends and her butler James. The odd thing though is that her friends are all long since dead.    [Continued] I had never seen this before; all I could think about was it is was tailor made for Carol Burnett and Tim Conway (not that they could have improved on it.)  ”
