McLaughlin Memorial

[OGTEleven]

I haven't done much more than lurk (and a few music threads) for quite a while but some of the old timers may remember the McLaughlin threads. I haven't done one in forever but I saw that John McLaughlin passed away and it reminded me so I thought I'd do a tribute thread to say RIP.

 

Basically, I ask 5 questions and you try to answer them. I'll then let you know if you're right or WRONG!!!!!! McLaughlin SNL style.

 

 

I try to be as mean as possible so don't be offended. Whoever answers any question correctly first gets the point for that question.

 

Questions

 

1. If you excluded Sammy Watkins, Tyrod Taylor and Gilmore, who would be the Bills 2016 MVP based on what McLaughlin thinks will happen this season?

 

2. What is the worst symbol of American cultural decay in decades (so many to choose from lately)? Be specific or you'll be WRONG!!!!!!

 

3. What is the greatest all instrumental movie soundtrack in the last 40 years? The winner of this question will get one chance at a bonus point.

 

4. You can pick a play from Bills history to be the winning play in the Bills first Super Bowl victory. What play do you choose? (Note that it does not have to happen against the same team and that it could even be a play that the Bills lost on but they would win this time). Do NOT pick the Home Run Throwforward or you will be suspended from this game.

 

5. What should not die just because McLaughlin did?

1. I think if we were taking bets he'd be the favorite. Never bet the favorite. WRONG!!!!!!!

 

2. Do I say you are getting warm or your are wrong? Let me think. WRONG!!!!!!!!

 

3. I have no idea what you mean by the Ted Cruz part. The other part seems like a hint toward a fantastic but WRONG!!!!!! soundtrack. Please elaborate.

 

I looked up "Ted Cruz Inconceivable" and learned something. Cruz likes good movies (at least one) with great soundtracks. In fact, this soundtrack is the reason I put the term all instrumental in the question. Does the video below sound instrumental to you? WRONG!!!!!

 

 

4. I think there will be many choices that could be good in this spot. I would settle for any of them or even anything else )please before I die). Your choice is WRONG!!!!!!

 

5. When it comes to Martina the W word can never be invoked because if Martina McBride is wrong I don't want to be right. I'll just say I was looking for something else. Also you know you've been around here if you remember that Martina played a big role in these. She isn't the answer to any of these questions today (Well maybe 1, 3, 4 and 5 in some way, but certainly not 2).

5. What should not die just because McLaughlin did?

 

1. Darby, because Gilmore won't be here after this season.

2. Paris Hilton -- got famous for doing nothing except ten minutes of amateur porn; spawned a generation of copy cats.

3. Trading Places; Mozart’s ‘Mariage of Figarro'

4. Nick Folk's 53 yard FG on MNF following a recovered onside kick. That's how the Bills should win their first SB, on a long FG.

5. Pat Buchanan calmly explaining to Eleanor Clift why she's wrong.

[machine gun kelly]

OFT11 - crying laughing right now! I use to watch that PBS show from time to time for the comedy. People B word about O'Reilly, or the HBO guy, they have nothing on McLaughlin.

 

For all of you under 40 or who have no interest in politics, you need to look up this guy. He was over the top back in the day.

 

Sorry for the family. He provided entertainment and education for years and years on PBS.

 

Not even going to try and answer those questions as I know my responses will be responded with "WRONG, next Question"

[Peter]

I loved that show.

[metzelaars_lives]

Dances With Wolves is an incredible soundtrack/score.

By "back in the day" do you mean two weeks ago? lol

 

MG has been the best political show for decades. And despite the rep, JM usually said very little.

1. I hope he plays well but WRONG!!!!! The question us simply who will have the best year, not who is the most important.

2. Everybody Is WRONG!!!! here bust most are on the right track. I don't think Paris started it but even if she did it has gotten worse. And if you only last 10 minutes that doesn't mean the whole thing is 10 minutes. WRONG!!!!

3. Mozart Schmozart. WRONG!!!!!

4. If that is the way they win, although redemption for Norwood, it would not be as exciting as the answer so WRONG!!!!!

5. That would be cool but it is still WRONG!!!!!!!

Dances With Wolves is an incredible soundtrack/score.

 

 

Maybe. WRONG!!!!!!!!

Most definitely Real World. You're showing your age.

[Dr. Who]

1. Goodwin -- he will stay healthy and establish the deep threat that will allow Sammy to be moved to variable positions x,y, and z, as well as create more running room after the initial point of contact.

 

2. Caitlyn Jenner -- the glorification of the trangender movement, aside from any perhaps legitimate issues of gender dysphoria, is at base a radical rejection of natural norms. Nature is conceived as a neutral being lacking inherent value. What can be measured and weighed is "objective and real" following the lead of Galileo, Newton, and Descartes, whilst aesthetic and moral judgements are treated as purely subjective and therefore outside a criteria that can be "imposed" from the outside. Any form of heteronomy is understood to be a from of fascist coercion. This is partly a legacy of Kant, but it has been radicalized, popularized, and dumbed down so that any judgement of "aberration" is now bigoted and any form of eccentricity is now a heroic gesture towards freedom and self-expression, so long as overt violence towards others is avoided. The banal cultural truism that enjoins the Caitlyn Jenner effect is an intensified version of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." One cannot call Andy Warhol a clever sophist for marketing kitsch consumerism or Marcel Duchamp's urinal a joke at the expense of intellectual pretension or the endless egoism of the selfie generation a narcissistic indulgence of the vulgarly shallow; one must celebrate it or be deemed a narrow and provincial moralist.

 

3. Chariots of Fire

 

4. Jack Kemp to Charley Ferguson with 28 seconds left to beat the Patriots in 1963. Old school helmets and last minute defeat of the Pats before the era of privileged, whiny cheating.

 

5. Conservatives on PBS?
