I had an ambitious first year teacher assign that to me my senior year of high school. I could make out enough of the portion of the book that I actually got through to turn in a crappy term paper.

Took glancing shots at Finnegan's Wake and Portrait of the Artist later in life, and couldn't muster the effort.

I can go one better. One day someone on a site I frequent asked for your favorite go-to late night snack and I responded "Peanut butter and jelly on crackers" and the word cracker was censored by the admins.

Same reason why Americans are bad at history and civics

Perhaps having football coaches teach these subjects in high school was not a good idea.

This may be a pretty profound breakthrough that could explain a lot.

I have a miniature print of that poster on the wall in my garage. Found it randomly on some streamer a couple years ago and loved it.

If anyone hasn't seen the Midnight Movies documentary, it's on Youtube free

Probably also on Tubi or one of the other free services.

The film chronicles the period between 1970 and 1977 in which six low-budget films shown at midnight transformed the way films are made and watched:[4] El Topo (1970), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Harder They Come (1973), Pink Flamingos (1972), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), and Eraserhead (1977).[5]

Also portrayed in the film are the films Freaks (1932) and Reefer Madness (1936), which gained notoriety and a huge cult following thanks to midnight showings. Providing interviews are filmmakers George A. Romero, Alejandro Jodorowsky, John Waters, Perry Henzell, David Lynch, and Richard O'Brien, as well as film critics Roger Ebert, Jonathan Rosenbaum, and J. Hoberman and Ben Barenholtz.

I nearly drove off the freeway laughing when I found his show syndicated on a Houston station. He gave it up briefly to do a sitcom and we never got it back when he returned to radio.

It was amazing how many people would call in to argue with his guests even though he always admitted it was him doing all the voices in the last part of the show when he took open lines. He released a video to show how how he picked up phones to switch characters and it was just insane how quickly he could switch voices and improvise.

One line I always remember was from his HOA character Bobbie Dooly talking about her youth in the 1960's, explaining to Phil that it was a different time, "it was the absolute heyday of George Lincoln Rockwell."

This guy is simply playing a character. I stopped paying attention to him when he proved to be a boring as dirt fighter.

I don't keep up w/ UFC and didn't realize they had introduced WWF style heel interviews. :lol:

Man....that cut of Darrell's reaction going from elation for his little brother to a little tremble at "I hope Dale's ok...I guess he's alright isn't he..."

I love throwing things people can actually use. Hammers, screwdrivers, canning jars...links of chain.
