Barking Carnival

From Yahoo sports. I'm trying to feel sorry for the kid, but you had to see this one coming after this picture surfaced on the interwebs. See the bottom right, which seem to be a baggie of pot, or as Vasherized mistakenly calls it, hashish. Tats are close to godliness Now unless you're naive enough to think that Michael Beasley is the first NBA player since Robert

It will be a three team race to determine this year's sacrificial lamb for the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington. Assuming nothing of significance occurs on the injury front or that Cody Hawkins doesn't grow three inches from hanging on monkey bars, the contenders and non-contenders break out pretty cleanly and, affirming my South-o-centric view, each North contender's Big 12 South draw will be the primary determinant of who gets to receive blunt

Evidently, there is some controversy in B/CS about the Chancellor's annual review of the main campus' president... Quite a professional operation they're running there... However, when the story first broke, there was an interesting tidbit of information. In the university president's rebuttal of the poor review, she mentions that the TAMU Athletic Department had borrowed $16 million from the university, and had not developed a good plan to repay it.

Mas cinema. This from SydneyCarton. - S.R. __________________________________________ Hi! Due to the continued dearth of off-season topical conversation, Sailor Ripley has entreated a few guest lecturers to contribute to The Barking Carnival. Fortunately for him, my unchecked hubris, proclivity towards wild exaggeration and generality, and immediate recognition that HenryJames is an unrepentant fairy should allow me to fit in perfectly well within the swelling ranks of Barking Carnival.

Chris Applewhite will likely be along shortly to add his excellent 'Review for Nerds' but I thought I'd post some quick thoughts in the interim. A buddy and I have a tradition of seeing most of these sci-fi/comic book/adventure films at their opening midnight showing as the people watching often surpasses the quality of the film itself. To date we've seen dorks of all ages dressed as Yoda, Dr. Manhattan and I think even

Remember literature classes where some crazy allegory was pointed out in an otherwise interesting book (i.e. “The Nautilus represents Verne’s expressions of inadequacy as a man.”), and you thought, “Man, they are really making too much out of this.”? I’m about to do that with “Solaris”, the 1972 Russian film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky and based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem. Please bear with me- there is a point to this exercise. Here’s

I was surprised by the amount of feedback on my post about "The Bad Lieutenant". Anyone up for more movie talk? I like to use Ebert's "Great Movie" list as a DVR guide, and maybe I could post some thoughts on various films. I feel these kind of posts are worthless without strong opinions, so jump in. First, the link to Ebert's review. I recently watched this again, for the first time since the

Here. First- I think Dienhart is a good college football reporter. Second, I recognize that the coaches at the non-BCS programs are often doing amazing coaching jobs. Still, let's have some fun with this. I have not copied the whole article (that would be wrong), but only excerpts and I have added comments in italics. Maybe you can add some more...here goes... 3.
