I have a blog?

2009-06-17T00:24:00.000-07:00

I may or may not have made disparaging remarks about white castle in my blog in the past.... Any such past remarks may or may not have been completely valid at the time they were made...

However, the past is the past and the present is the present and white castle is the fucking shit y'all....

as to the suggestion that my opinion of white castle burgers might be influenced by the hour (it's 3:29 AM currently) or the amount of beers I've consumed I must respond by saying "Fuck you. White castle is the shit. You're just jealous that you aren't munching on 6 burgers while watching poker on espn classic at 3:30 AM. Bitches....."

What do you have to say about that?

A-Team Movie Dream Team

2009-05-31T23:44:00.001-07:00

So - the latest on the A-Team movie as of a few months ago is that they postponed it for at least a year or two, don't have a completed script, and lost their director. Because of the way the world works, I'm sure there will eventually be an A-Team movie. I don't expect it to be great cinema or anything, but I do expect it to be a fun, sometimes silly, action movie staying mostly true to the spirit of the original while rebooting it for modern times. Instead of being Vietnam vets, they'll be gulf war vets, etc... Who knows - maybe the van will be a suburban or something...

That said - I've heard many many things about who will be cast in this movie over the years - some good and some not so good.... Just as a fun speculation, I thought I would list who I thought would be best for the roles (and work well together,) and then invite others to suggest other names that might be good. With that out of the way - here goes:
(Note - Some of these have been suggested by others - I'm mostly putting together a list of the best I've seen suggested so far. A couple of them I thought of without having someone else suggest it first.)

Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith - Bruce Willis
Lieutenant Templeton "Faceman" Peck - Brad Pitt
Master Sergeant Bosco Albert ("B.A.") Baracus - Ice Cube
Captain H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock - Woody Harrelson

Input? What do you guys think?

Attention Internet -

2009-05-14T17:07:00.000-07:00

Ok look, if I were to devote my life to correcting the misuse of the English language that I found on the internet, I would never be able to leave my computer. It would be more futile than visiting each and every individual in the galaxy and personally insulting every one of them.

However, there is a particularly disturbing abuse that I have seen three times in the last week and I feel compelled to mention it.

If you type "John could of done it differently" in some forum or blog thread you will make everyone who reads it think that you are an idiot. The people who assume this will probably be assuming correctly.

What you meant to type was "...could have..." or perhaps if you really wanted to emulate spoken English, you could stretch it and type "...could've...," which even my spell checker insists is wrong, but is still worlds better than "... could of..."

Which brings me to another point... I'm not going to try to squeeze too much in here but, if you can not spell words correctly, the least you could do is switch to a browser like Firefox that has a built in spellchecker.

Ok - I'm done now.
Please people - post to the internet responsibly.

Thank you.

Bill Sizemore: Oregon Douchebag

2008-09-24T00:46:00.000-07:00

Dear Bill Sizemore,

I have recently learned of your ballot measure 58 that would force Oregon schools to scrap bilingual education programs in favor of a one size fits all immersion program (one year only of immersion for ESL students entering school in kindergarten through 4th grade; 1.5 years of immersion for students entering school in 5th through 8th grades; and two years for students entering school in high school.)

I don't believe that this plan takes into account the differences between students and how a students background might affect his abilities. I do however believe that you are a douchebag. Do you perhaps have a degree in education that helped you determine the best way to educate foreign language students? Years of study that lead you to determine that this plan of yours is for some reason better that the one that is currently in place in most states including Oregon? Do you have any reason to believe that you are in any way more qualified to design education plans for foreign language students than the education experts specializing in this field?

What's that you say? You don't have a degree in education? Oh, you received a bachelor's degree in Theology from Portland Bible College. I don't think that qualifies you to do anything at all. Perhaps if you had studied a useful subject you would have understood that this plan of yours will actually cost the state more money and not save money as you continue to insist.

If bookkeeping's not your bag, you could have instead gone for some straightforward research before penning this educational sabotage. You might have researched the similar law that was passed in Arizona that cost the state $2,740 extra per ESL student. Had you looked into that law, you would have also learned that the law has not had any impact on reducing drop out rates for ESL students and has not improved standardized tests for ESL students.

In conclusion, you're a fucking douchebag. Causing vast amounts of damage to Oregon tax law isn't enough for you you fucking asshole? You have to now directly fuck up our schools? Fuck you you piece of shit. You've caused enough damage to our state. Please never write another ballot measure again for the rest of your life. Prick.

Sincerely,
Phillip Brockhaus

P.S. Vote No on Measure 58.

Thanks redbull girls, I really needed the caffeine.

I have chills

2008-07-16T16:17:00.000-07:00

Ok - a very very small number of movie trailers actually make me excited when I watch them; it's different from just 'wanting' to see the movie... It's almost like a feeling that the movie trailer itself is somehow meaningful. I'm left with a sense that by having watched the trailer, I am now a part of something important.

I realize that this may make me sound crazy...

The trailers that I have experienced this with were the first Star Wars Episode I trailer I saw; the first Transformers trailers I saw; and just a little bit with the trailers for the both of the Christopher Nolan Batman movies. (I'm a huge Batman fan and I think these two recent Batman movies are the greatest thing to happen to the franchise, but the trailers didn't quite strike me the same way as the Transformers trailer.)

The reason I mention this: I just came across this trailer on Latino Review.
http://latinoreview.com/news/terminator-salvation-teaser-trailer-5011

Wow. This is a must see movie. I mean, I suppose that goes without saying for just about any American male around my age, but wow....

That's all. Oh - PS - Coming back to Oregon soon. See everyone soon.

That's how I roll.
