Ladies moved up to 16th in Softball America poll. Still some BS in the three spots ahead of them.

13 Nebraska 3-2 11
14 Oregon 2-3 5
15 Arizona 3-2 17

Nebraska only dropped two spots after losing two. Arizona moved up two spots after losing two. Oregon still being ranked after losing three really makes zero sense.

Pilots here will like this one:

Apparently, the new meme is 41, from Blizzy Boi's "41 Song (Saks Freestyle)" where he raps:

Uh, forty-one, but I got forty-one goons (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Bustdown, the chain got forty-one stones (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Just checked the DM, forty-one hoes (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Just hit her with the dick, she thought forty-one old (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

I'm currently in the process of collecting 41 memes, and will be inundating my kids with them over the next few days.

I'd throw a gif of the hand movement up, but I can't find one that's not on TikTok.

My wife makes a Boston creme pie cake that's amazing. Two vanilla layer cakes with custard filling and a dark chocolate ganache poured over the whole thing.

Yea, I hate to say it, but I smell the NIT.
Unless a miracle happens and they wake up.

So many great gifs from that movie!

The last one, I used that line with my kids so many times, including the intonation. One of these days, they're going to see this and think, "Wait a second. Is that dad?"

"EasyGeezie?"
"Forget it, he's rolling."

A lot of complexities involved between them, but Beatty for the most part was trying hard to make it happen.

Teasing a little, I have actually seen Ishtar and if I remember right Beatty funded a lot of it and selected May for the Director.

Elaine May is one of my favorite directors, and she basically got (wrongfully) black-balled from ever directing again because of Ishtar, and the manufactured, targeted attacks on the film before anyone had even seen it. I won't say more in respect to the CG, but I do not think the backlash surrounding the film was natural. I think it's one of the funniest films ever made (alongside Top Secret!)

She directed four movies, and they are, imo, all masterpieces: Mikey and Nickey, The Heartbreak Kid, A New Leaf, and Ishtar.

Breakin and Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo

I did not see them mentioned outside of the JCVD referecne

I just subjected my wife to Top Secret! last week, she had never seen it before. Val Kilmer's first film and he released the soundtrack album at the same time.

Wait, you rated Ishtar five stars... I don't know you...

My favorite feature of the Letterboxd app is that I have a searchable/filterable list of every film I have watched (and when) since I got the app at the very end of 2018. As such, here is a list of every film I have given a five star rating on Letterboxd from the 1980's.

Note: I did not back log a single film. So every film on this list is a film I watched or rewatched since I got the app. That means there are maybe some movies I have seen, but have not watched since then, that will not feature on this list.

Quite a few more will probably hit this list on a rewatch. I don't take my ratings that seriously, but using only the 5* ones was a way to keep this list at a reasonable length.

Hello Darkness my old friend.......

I still subscribe to the old adage of win your home conference games and road losses are not killers, but these guys really need to pick up a Q1 road win here soon or they can put away their dancing shoes until next year.

The next time the ACC says they are scheduling us to play NC State on K-Yow day, we need to say fuck you. They don't lose on K Yow day and it seems like we get scheduled to play them every year for that.
