It's probably a difficult transition from being a child star to just a regular person. I think my favorite people are the ones that managed to handle it with no problem: Danica McKellar & Ilan Mitchell-Smith to name two. How did Ron Howard, Jason Bateman, Fred Savage, Joey Lawrence, etc make it through to actually find adult success in the business? I'm sure I'd probably have ended up with a neck tattoo.

When the chief of police tells you that you need a bigger boat, don't overreact and destroy the radio.

In high school French class, we saw "Les Diabolique". It was pretty awesome for movies with a twist. It was remade in '96 with Sharon Stone. I'm probably partially brain-dead, as I didn't figure out "Sixth Sense" until about 20 seconds before the reveal. The thing I remember from that movie was that I was on a double date and the previews included "Fight Club". When that trailer ended, the other guy and I said, "That looks freakin' awesome!" while both girls said "Who is going to see THAT?".

I've never seen a photo more perfect for one of those "Demotivation" posters. Thoughts?

Beating a dead horse (and there should be a smiley for that!): A the highest level, all athletes in team sports had to be leaders whether they wanted to or not. They were the best players on their team for most of their upbringing. Drury leads by example.

Yup. US in the semis (top 4). Lose the semi, play for the bronze. Lots of good teams left (Canada, Russia, Sweden, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Finland... basically the countries that send players to the NHL). Given my heritage, I'm rooting for a medal stand of: US-Sweden-Czech Republic. Then they all go to an Irish pub to celebrate.

I'd say he was the leader here and here (note the 'C').

At its peak, MSFT was 600 times it's lowest price after the IPO in '86. I bet you have 600x the money you had when you delivered papers (or at least close to it). And by the way, with newspapers going the way of the dinosaur and most folks having landscapers take care of their lawns, what are kids going to do to earn money these days? Now, last spring I rented a car from Dollar (DTG). The following Monday I looked at the chart and thought, "I should be buying those calls rather than renting their cars." The stock was trading under a dollar and now it's near $30. I'd like to have 30x the money I had a year ago.

Agreed. Drury is the definition of winner. Dude just wins. Wish he could have done it with us, but (sigh)... well, you know. Still - my favorite story about him came from an SI story a few years ago. In college, after making a penalty shot against Boston College his coach asked him if he was nervous before the shot. He replied, "I never get nervous." Jim Kelly admitted to puking before every game and I consider him one tough hombre. Chris Drury is a legendary badass, IHMO.

She can't get her name right? It's Reischea Canidate!!! Who does this broad think she is commenting on other broads? :w00t:

Last year's Late Night Top 10 List. And to think, it all started in a bar.

I would have eliminated those meddling kids when they pulled up in their van. The dog, too. ----------------------------------------------- I figure I've learned from my mistakes, so regret is a waste of time. But, gun to my head - I should have gone with Lisa to the prom. There - I said it.

Peter Griffin: You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.

Well then.

Loved the homage to the Blues Brothers prison scene and the huge cell phone. Whenever there was tension on the trading desk, I'd put a huge box up to my ear and recite the "Money never sleeps" scene. Always got a laugh. I'm looking forward to this, but I'm sure I'll be disappointed. Gordon should have taken kid to Iceland and bankrupted the country with CDOs only to be murdered by the president of Iceland (portrayed by Stellan Skarsgård, of course). That would have been awesome. /I'm gonna make you rich, Bud Fox.

I'm confused... is this guy supposed to be Ellis Wyatt or Francisco d'Anconia? More importantly, can I be Ragnar Danneskjöld? "Avast ye mateys!"

Cool. It's also the 80th anniversary of the day Clyde Tombaugh discovered the Kuiper belt object named Pluto.

First you're going to need a beard. I'm not talking about a goatee, but a freakin awesome beard. How L. Ron Hubbard managed to build his group without one remains a mystery. I wish you luck in your endeavor, Jack. However, my money is on Epic Beard Man (NSFW!) as our next overlord. It seems inevitable.

Great... now I can't get that song out of my head.

HBD guys. Deano, take it easy this year, okay? We don't want a repeat of what happened a couple of years ago.

Can't believe Harry Dean Stanton didn't win the Oscar that year. I've been boycotting that show ever since. It's true! I haven't seen the Oscars since '83. /Does that knock 5% off my gay score?
