I say reveal. We gots us a timeline, and this week has been rather weak in general. Looking forward to doing "practical jokes/mean things you've done" next week.

[williamssl]

And to that end...

1) Milli Vanilli. Yep..them. And I brought a date along. Needless to say it was our first and only date.

False. On many levels. Situation: My stepbrother had gotten free tix to the concert and gave me the pair. Surprise - someone had 'em and didn't want to go. I was like "hey - free dummy. Maybe I can use these to get some...." Biiiiiiig stretch. Asked a girl I'd liked for some time and had been wanting to ask out but hadn't yet gotten the balls to do so. The silence on the other end of the phone after I asked, "So, ya wanna go to the Milli Vanilli concert with me this weekend" was deafening. No date for Tex - in general or ever with her. My step-brother and I ended up going to the concert - stayed all of 15 minutes, and then went to a party a friend was having.

So - false didn't pay hard earned money, and no date.


2) Michael Jackson. Yep..him. And to top it off I drove from Palo Alto to Santa Barbara for this..so I spent 4 hours in my car going to/from to make it happen.

True. This was the "Bad" tour (Bad the album that is). Friends at USCB got the tickets. I figured...a weekend at USCB ain't a bad thing...plus even though MJ is a freak and all..being able to see him live is something that might be interesting. It was entertaining. No regrets.


3) The Grateful Dead Yep..those hippies. I realize for most people this would be a "fuck yeah!!!!" but I'm a Republican and being in a crowd of tripping smelly hippies listening to music that I don't really consider to be music ain't exactly a thrill.

True. And ya gotta give me credit here. I hate the Dead. Hate the smelly hippies that follow them around. But they always played Shoreline Amp in Palo Alto once/year, so right before I graduated college I said, "Even though I hate them and will probably hate the concert, I'll at least give it a try so that I can say I've experienced a Dead show." Hated it. Making matters worse was taking a hit of acid beforehand because..."when in Rome..". At one point while tripping, I got separated from my friends and was roaming around in the dark surrounded by a bunch of smelly hippies who were "dancing" (or whatever smelly hippies do when the Dead are riffing and the hippies are getting into the music). I damn near freaked out. Finally found my friends. Convinced one of them who was sober that leaving would be a good thing because we didn't want to be in the parking lot after the concert surrounded by a bunch of tripping hippies all trying to get their cars out at the same time. Whew. Never again. But I did go.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

1. Star Wars - TRUE. One of, if not THE biggest movie letdowns ever. A friend and I drove up to the Starlight in LA and camped out for the very first showing in the morning. Yes, I was single at the time believe it or not.

2. Rocky V - FALSE. While my bro and I are HUGE Rocko fans, we went to see it that night, but not the very first showing like I posted. Mrs. Solly and I did the same for RB last December. I love Rocky but I'm not going to schedule my whole day around it.

3. Be Cool - TRUE. I love Get Shorty. Chili Palmer is Travolta's best work since Fever and this sequel ranks up there with Caddyshack 2 and Blues Brothers 2000 in terms of how horrible it was compared to the original. Elmore Leonard writes a terrific follow-up to Get Shorty, only to see the movie watered down to a kid-friendly PG-13 rating. Not even the People's Eyebrow could save this one.

[Loki]

1) Double Team, AKA, the abortion starring Jean Cladue Van Damme and Dennis Rodman: True Don't ever see this movie. And I say that as someone who usually likes Van Damme movies.

2) Superman Returns: True Oh so true. Sadly. I hated this movie. Hated it hated it hated it. The director should be shot, and the DC exec who greenlighted this abortion should be killed slowly and painfully.

3) Drive In Hell - Feardotcom and Rollerball: False We did see Feardotcom at the drive-ins. It was showing with a movie that was actually good. Sadly, Feardotcom was so bad it has overwhelmed that memory so that I no longer remember what the first movie was.

I never saw Rollerball. And I have no intention of ever seeing it.

[The Canadian Content]

I paid to see:

1. Meet Joe Black -- TRUE -- I think I can say this is the worst movie I've ever seen.

2. The Fantastic Four -- FALSE -- I've never been a big FF comics fan, and I heard nothing but bad reviews for the movie, so I waited until it came on the movie channel (which I don't consider "spending my hard-earned cash", because I didn't pony up to see this crapfest specifically). I was pretty jacked to see Dr. Doom in movie form, but I'm pretty sure I turned the movie off shortly after his fucking skin turned to steel. Fuck I hated this movie.

3. Spanglish -- TRUE -- Not much more to say. This movie blew.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I’ll include the stories upfront from now on. I thought if I included them before I’d have nothing new to add during the reveal.

1. Spice World – True. I’m 16 years old but trying to get in to see an R Rated movie with my two friends. One is also 16 and the other is his 13 year old brother. I think we were trying to see Wild Things or Cruel Intentions but I’m not 100% sure. It might have been something else. Anyway, my friend and I have no problem at all buying the tickets for the movie but while we are trying to go my 13 year old friend makes the mistake of looking right at the manager. Well she comes over and asks for ID and the gig was up. There was only one movie left that hadn’t started. Spice World. Well I hate the Spice Girls and I’m ready to leave. But my 16 year old friend really wants to see a movie and he’ll watch anything with hot girls in it. He convinces us to stay because we have nothing better to do. He was wrong. I can never get that part of my life back. It sucked ass. Terrible, terrible movie.

2. Devil Wears Prada – False. Here is the true part. I didn’t even know what the fuck Prada was before this movie came out. I saw the preview and my first thought ws “Not in a million years” and my second was “What the fuck is Prada?” My wife didn’t know either which should tell you it wasn’t her cup of tea either.

3. Music & Lyrics – True. I took the wife to see this for a Valentine’s Day gift. She is a big fan of Drew Barrymore and I am as well. She plays the cute role very well. Anyway, I actually really enjoyed this movie. It spent most of the time cracking fun at washed up 80s Pop Stars and Tenneybopper Girls like Brittney and Christina. And since I’ve seen it I can’t get the awesomely bad music video for “Pop Goes My Heart” out of my head.

[salmonjunkie]

you married a hot redhead who DOESN'T know what Prada is? God loves you Chris Cole.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

He sure does. Thought she isn't really a redhead. Her natural color is brown and probably fairly dark. She colored her her using somekind of champagne or strawberry blond. I guess it does end up looking a bit reddish. I think in the pics it looks more red then in real life though.

But either way Hot Girl who isn't into designer clothes or many chick flicks is a very, very good thing.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

And very very rare. With the exception of your baseball team, God does love you.

[Courtney]

Tex, your Dead story made me laugh my ass off. ;D

Reveal:

1) Spice Girls
False-- Even though I was a huge fan (still like them), I never got to see them. Don't judge. I'm a girl and that exempts me. Kinda...

2) Texas Chainsaw Massacre
True-- It was horrible. And I like Jessica Biel and the guy who played her boyfriend, but it was horrible.

3) Baha Men
True--Went to Riverstages in 2002 with Incubus and No Doubt headlining. We were saving a spot really close to the stage and we didn't want to get up. After EVERY song, this group of frat boys would start barking. It was hilarious, especially when one of the guys in the band said, "Hold on, we'll get to it. We'll get to it." They still kept barking.

[Courtney]

Tex: Milli Vanilli CORRECT
Loki: Double Team Wrong
Solly: Star Wars Wrong
Mkid: Spice World Wrong
Psycho: Joe Black Wrong
Punker: Larry CORRECT
BTR: Edwin McCain Wrong

2-7. Hey, it's better than last week.

You know, I missed this week and I'm looking forward to getting in on next week. But I can't help but feel like I'm not pacing my stories well at all. I pull out the dildo story in week 1 and then we get "injuries" a couple of weeks later. I use the cybersex story for "embarassing" and here is a much more appropriate place for it with "pranks." Now I'm gonna work to come up with 2 good prank stories and probably realize I should have saved them for a later one.

[williamssl]

I hear ya Lucky. I totally hear you, and you're not at all alone. That's why I did the below at the start of this thread so that there was at least a little bit of a roadmap and people could plan. Doesn't help with stuff that's already been done and overlap with any of these, I know. But hopefully this makes it a little better as we move forward. I know you saw this already, but quoting/posting it for others' benefit.

williamssl said:

I'm gonna tee up a few themes in advance because I know there's a lot of potential overlap with these and if ya knew that maybe we were gonna do a Stupid Injuries one you might stay away from Stupid Injuries in an Embarrassing Moments one.

Upcoming weeks will include (in no particular order):

• Practical jokes or mean things you've done.
  
• Stupid injuries.
  
• Stupid/Pscyho ex boy/girlfriends (dumb or crazy things they did)
  
• Past (or present...) jobs
  
• I had sex WHERE????? (crazy locations; not "in the butt")
  

[punk/core]

Fuck, I was really sick the past couple days and didn't get to make my guesses... ah well...

Dustin Diamond. True. He was performing on campus... I mean, come on, I had to see him.

Dane Cook. True. Fuck him.

Larry the Cable Guy. False, thank God. I hate this mother fucker with a passion.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

1 FOR 5? Yikes.

Tex - Grateful Dead - WRONG
loki - Supes - WRONG
Court - Spice Girls - RIGHT
Kid - SpiceWorld - WRONG
Psycho - Spanglish - WRONG
Punker - Diamond - WRONG
BTR - Mayer - TBA

[salmonjunkie]

Sorry I didn't play this week. I was harassing prostitutes celebrating carnival in Rio, Brazil with my brother and assorted high school friends.

If you want, I can go ahead and put up my questions, and I'll try to answer you guys's without looking at the answers, but it's already Friday...

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Put them up, even for fun... did you answer the one from last week?

[Attitude Adjuster]

I forget who from the Fantasy Baseball League said I needed to come over here, but here I am. I'll try to remember to participate this coming week. I think the person's idea was that I'm so old my truths and lies would be pretty entertaining.

[The Canadian Content]

Tex - wrong
Loki - wrong
Court - right
Solly - right
M-Kid - wrong
Punker - wrong
BTR - wrong

Ugh. 2 for 7. Not my best work.

MTA: BTR's answer and my total.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Tex - Milli CORRECT
Loki - Double Team
Court - Spice Girls CORRECT
Solly -Be Cool
Fish - Spanglish
Punker - Larry the Cable Guy CORRECT
BTR - Train

3-3 so far. And it looks like I stumped a bunch of people this week. Yay me.

[williamssl]

Loki: Superman Returns. you loved it.
Solly: Star Wars: Phantom Menace. No LA for you.
Courtney: Spice World. Everyone knows you're a Posh wannabe
M-Kid: Music & Lyrics. Just guessing - give a story next time!
Psycho: Fantastic 4. You had a boner for Doom the whole time.
Punker: Dustin Diamond. He only sells shirts and sex tapes.
BTR: John Mayer. Just guessing - no story.


2 right, 5 wrong. Continuing the streak of suck.

[BTR]

I was too busy cuddling with Ziggy. Here's my list:

1. John Mayer: TRUE My girlfriend is a big Sheryl Crow fan, and she came around this summer. Her opener was John Mayer, whom neither of us really enjoy. Sheryl's cool, though.

2. Train: FALSE . I just thought of shitty sappy songs and "Drops of Jupiter" popped in my head. I've heard their concerts are different and fun, though. I don't know.

3. Edwin McCain: TRUE My high school/freshman year of high school girlfriend and I had an Edwin McCain song as "Our Song." He came to Eastern Michigan University my first year and we saw him in a little theater. I then took her back to my dorm and...just made out. Prude.

1)
2) Superman Returns: I am a big comic book nut, and the only reason I didn't see this movie when it first came out was because my boy had just been born. Two months ago I eagerly checked it out of Blockbuster. I had managed to avoid all reviews and commentary of this movie, so I had no preconcieved notions going in. This was SUPERMAN, baby. DC knew what was riding on this, and after the awesomeness that was Batman Begins I was geeked to see how DC would treat their flagship character.

This movie sucked giant donkey balls. I started making snarky comments 10 minutes in, and my briide asked me numerous times if she should just stop the movie. Words can't express how bitterly disappointed I was in the movie. Based on the ages of the characters Lois was, what, 14 when her brat was born? Superman or Superpedophile - you make the call!

Based on this awesome review, I figured I finally needed to see this movie, so tee'd it up in my Blockbuster.com queue and then finally got around to watching it.

Holy shit. 154 minutes long. If you edit all the cool Kevin Spacey comments together and call that "the good part of the movie", that's still 152 minutes of my life that I will never have back.

[Loki]

Toldja. I hope you were at least doing something else constructive while watching that abortion. Like surfing for Smurfette porn.
