Easy Champion
Sure enough, when I was reading How to Lose Friends and Alienate People this morning, an old drinking British expat pops up and the author is nice enough to inform me that this ol' champion was molded into Tom Wolfe's Peter Fallow for Bonfire.
Bob Mould's April 23rd post is the one I mentioned last night. Indiebears and musclecubs are funny words.
I never liked Kirk Hinrich, but now I reeeeeeeally hate Tom Cruise. That is a horrible photo of her anyway.
I heard a commercial on the radio for the "Hitchhiker's Guide" movie, one reviewer described it as "completely original." Completely?!?! Fully and totally original?!?!?. Funny how a movie based on a wildly popular novel is completely original. Baaaaloosh!

Infrequency and Indie Punching. Not Professionalism.

I'm a lil weirded out. I was just talking about this. We'll play that one by ear. An ear covered with a ziggurat type hat.
Good call on the expat Wolfe connection. Peter Fallow is a pretty good name. Peter Callow would also be good.
Those are funny words, but they may generate some really funny blogads.
"Capitan" Kirk Hinrich is... I dunno, a Blake/Redick hybrid? I dunno, I dislike the Bulls.
Katie Holmes is waaaaaay overrated. Coinicidentally, so is Tom Cruise.
I do want to see Hitchhiker's. I think we can officially be called meta-critics. Half of this blog (app.) is whining about other people's opinions (Sietsama - and chatters, Dirda, Pitchfork, etc.)
WHA???
Awesome
Real Dustin Diamond sucks as much as really young Screech on Saved by the Bell.
Here are a few highlights:
Is this you?
"Columbia, Md.: Dustin: Enjoyed your cameo in Jon Favreau's "Made." Have you been getting into any clubs before him lately?
Dustin Diamond: MADE was a blast and Vince Vaughn is a riot. All of the dialogue in that film was made up on the spot. They had a script but rarely followed it."
What does this imply?: "Dustin Diamond: When you mix adolescent youth - steroids - and unrequited love, you have a recipe for comedy."
You're friggin' Screech!: "Alexandria, VA: Do you keep in touch with any of the other cast members from Saved By the Bell?
Dustin Diamond: I don't visit the unemployment office that much.
I live in wisconsin now so I don't get a chance to see them that often, unless my comedy tour takes me to cali. Still there is no guarantee that I will be able to get onto the set of Pet Star."
On Belding: "Dustin Diamond: Dennis can drink. You walk in on Mr. B with 4 or 5 girls in his dressing room and all of a sudden it's YOU saying 'Hey hey hey hey hey, what is going on here?'"
I know that "[h]alf of this blog (app.) is whining about other people's opinions (Sietsama - and chatters, Dirda, Pitchfork, etc.)," but c'mon Dirda deserves it:
"And yet I felt a little depressed at being called, to all intents, a "bookworm." I've never thought of myself as one, and readers of An Open Book--pardon all this self-advertisement--know that I've done other things besides read books. I picture a bookworm as a thin, sticklike figure with a pincenez, looking as dusty as the leather bound volumes he drools over. Now it may be delusion on my part, but I've always felt more of an urbane character than that. I have a wife and children, am thought to be witty and reasonably presentable in public, am attracted to and attractive to women. Perhaps I should give up all this bookishness, and simply become a bon viveur or a raffish . . . what? There was a period I wanted to be a professional card player. Maybe it's not too late."
I hate him sooooooo much.
I hate him and Washington "Collge":
Fairfax, VA: Out of curiosity, do you ever use or are you ever referred to as "Dr."?
Michael Dirda: Not if I can help it. Sometimes at universities, either as a lecturer or teacher, people will call me Dr. But I discourage this.
all best,
Dr. Michael Dirda, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., Honorary Doctor of Letters (Washington Collge), etc etc.
Columbia was me, indeed. I wanted to make fun without being so obvious I triggered the censors. I should've added "You look big, you been working out?"
The Mr. Belding line is good. Also good was the point where (I'm not industrious enough to copy it) he acknowledged "lending mannerisms to the character of Screech." Then don't be surprised/put off when people associate you closely.
Also good to know he's a Mr. Bungle fan. I imagine him sitting in an armchair in suspenders, an eyebrow comically raised, listening to Mike Patton sing lounge.
Jesus Dirda needs a punch in the face. I've always considered myself AWESOME.
Holy lit crit, batman, who's idea was that? Maybe Lamond thought he was hot.
Think W.C.'s regretting their choice of commencement speaker?
Dr. Dirda, I presume.
