Linn said he drank 45 beers in seven hours before going to the mosque.
While I’m sure that Fox News riled him up, I’ll go with the 45 beers as the main factor in the decision to commit arson.

My friend and I were just having this discussion about this last weekend while doing a DJ gig for a Christmas party, about the top voices/singers in Rock n Roll. We both had Van Morrison in our top-10.
Classic stuff. Love the stories I’ve read about him and Jim Morrison partying/drinking together, believed they’re namesake made them brothers of some sort.

Duffy, fair question. How many times have you seen Anchorman? Or you a a person that just doesn’t like Ferrell? Get all the way through it? Just once? I think it’s one of those that gets funnier the more you see it.

All the way through? Probably like twice.
Ferrell was funny on SNL. My problem with his movies, even the good ones, is they are all funny ideas for SNL skits stretched over an hour and a half. They have their moments but the movies themselves are asinine.
December 21st, 2012 at 8:56 AM

December 21st, 2012 at 8:57 AM
assuming you are flying out of O’Hare, I would expect delays. I’ve flown through there many times during the holidays, rarely am I not sipping on airport drinks at the bar while my flight is delayed a couple hours.

Sports art might not be a bad investment. [WSJ]
Ex-Falcon Shane Dronett was a friend of mine and owned a sports art store in the north Atl burbs 1998-ish. Really cool place.
Unfortunately, his childhood friend and business partner skipped out on him and toted* a bunch of cash with him.

If I recall, he attempted to debate something in the Chuck Hagel article linked by citing something. Instead, it turned into an approximate 500 line comment with the HTML screwed up.

Ferrell was funny on SNL. My problem with his movies, even the good ones, is they are all funny ideas for SNL skits stretched over an hour and a half. They have their moments but the movies themselves are asinine.
Nailed it.
Ferrell is funny in increments of about 3 minutes. After that, the whole situation/topic must change or failure is imminent.
December 21st, 2012 at 9:00 AM
It’s very manly, the way he can grow a beard so quickly.

December 21st, 2012 at 9:05 AM
Does SNL still makes a movie for every single recurring sketch they have? Where the hell is the “What Up With That?” movie?!?
December 21st, 2012 at 9:05 AM
This. Some of most memorable moments in movies are when he’s not the main character/focal point. His 15-20 minutes in Wedding Crashers were a pisser. Also some his movies, the best parts are shown in the trailers.

Thank you for agreeing with me on this.
The only two Ferrell films I can stomach are Ricky Bobby and Elf, and only then in extremely limited viewings.

December 21st, 2012 at 9:05 AM
I probably should have clarified, I fly into and out of smaller airports from O’Hare, which probably has something to do with being delayed all the time.
December 21st, 2012 at 9:05 AM
are you fucking serious, oregon booster?
December 21st, 2012 at 9:07 AM
I agree with this but I think Anchorman is an exception, mostly because of the subject matter and Fred Willard.

Holy shit. The world has ended. Duffy and I agree 100% on something. That movie was not good/borderline awful. Stringing along a bunch of one liners does not make a movie. I’ll admit some of the one liners were really funny.

Love that quote. We have our office “lunch” where everyone brings in a dish today. One of the guys brought in some salad concoction – I looked at it and scoffed “you don’t win friends with salad” as I walked away.
He had zero idea what I was talking about.

Atlantic’s article is nothing but a smear the other way….WSJ had a good article on it this morning that wss fairly neutral. Personally, I’m a bit distrustful of a guy that votes against sanctions against Iran but at the same time until he’s officially nominated I think it’s a bit classless to start going after him. Foolish on Obama’s part too to let his name slip as it does open Hagel up to this criticism; however, since hes not an official nominee Obama can’t do much to defend him.

This reminds me of my college roommate living in Denver. Dude lives just like he did in college. I’ll call him up and ask how he’s doing, and he’ll say things like, “man…I had the greatest summer man. So much fun. Went to so many concerts, skiing, etc…”
Who the fuck has a summer? You know what a summer is? It’s when you’re hot as balls while going to and from work. That’s what summer is.

December 21st, 2012 at 9:58 AM
A few of mine still are. they don’t live close though. One of them is pretty successful, and it’s only made him smoke more. I don’t know how he does it. No kids for me, and the wife doesn’t care if i do, as long as it’s not an every day thing like it used to be. I just rarely feel like going through the time and effort to find it.

Not just that, but the guy is really successful in the financial industry. I don’t think I ever smoked as much as he does now, and I smoked a lot in my day. I know another guy who is a brain doctor, and he smokes and drinks as much as anyone I’ve ever known.

As far as Anchorman goes, I think it was just designed to be an hour and a half long display of jokes, and I enjoy it for that. I do think the sequel will suck though, it should be a one-time thing.
Favorite line outside of the obvious ones is the exchange between Champ and Wes Mantooth about taking his mother out for a nice seafood dinner and then never call her again.

OTTAWA — It was an inside job of sorts. Thieves with access to a warehouse and a careful plan loaded up trucks and, over time, made off with $18 million of a valuable commodity.
The question is what was more unusual: that the commodity in question was maple syrup, or that it came from something called the global strategic maple syrup reserve, run by what amounts to a Canadian cartel.
