Alligators, Baseball, Campus Crime, College Basketball, Gladiators, Jacking off, NFL, TV, Video April 10th. 2008, 3:30pm
In honor of the Office returning to TV tonight, Jenna Fischer. Not to “pimp” our Myspace, but a few female readers have signed up – yada, yada, yada, if there is ever a love connection among commenters, that would be cool.

David Cone still “warming up” in the bullpen?

I take it you’ve never been to HuffPo.
Very pumped for The Office tonight. Even more so for 30 Rock.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:38 PM
I don’t know why but Jenna Fischer totally does it for me…and she is not prottype hot…she just looks like she could suck a dick and like it
April 10th, 2008 at 3:39 PM
I. Love. Jenna. Fischer.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:39 PM
TBL and myspace… the new e-harmony? Scary.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:39 PM
wow…that was just brutally offensive. Masters clap.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
I’d. Do. Jenna. Fischer. In. An. Office.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Jenna Fischer is a babe, she is a babe that actually seems attainable.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Hang on, they usually don’t like it?
April 10th, 2008 at 3:44 PM
whoa whoa whoa! Tom is in your top friends!?!?!?1?
/runs off to sign up for myspace
April 10th, 2008 at 3:45 PM
I’d be interested in Stephanie but she is 98 years old, kinda outta my age range.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:45 PM
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!
April 10th, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Roman, I’m guessing the huge cans have something to do with it. They do for me.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:45 PM
I saw a movie with Jenna Fischer as a hooker and she was HOTT (with 2 T’s). Can’t remember the name of it.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:45 PM
How do i reach these keeeeeds!!
April 10th, 2008 at 3:47 PM
You’re one snowball away from answering that for yourself.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Dan-tastic..boobies are nice..I like the heinie as well..I like a nice dumper
April 10th, 2008 at 3:52 PM
I have The Office quote-a-day calendar on my desk. One little ray of sunshine every morning when I drag my ass to the office.
Anyone else returning the $140k? I’d like to think I probably would have (I’ve returned lesser quantities before).
April 10th, 2008 at 3:53 PM
consultantnomo, that’s my Doomsday scenario. Should that ever happen to me, I bite down on the cyanide capsel that I kep under my tongue.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:55 PM
Tried getting into the office…just couldn’t…
April 10th, 2008 at 3:55 PM
There’s no way in hell I would return it. At the same time, I wouldn’t be dumb enough to either spend it all at once or dump it in a bank all at once, as that would make it kind of obvious. Bills and shit would still come out of the bank accounts like normal and more ‘want’ stuff would come out of the $140k.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:56 PM
I’d be on a plane to Vegas with that $140K faster than you could say “hookers and blow”
April 10th, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Brett Favre is getting ridiculous. “Well if Aaron get’s hurt and the Packers called me it would be hard to say no.” Doesn’t sound like a guy who really believes he is going to stay retired.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:00 PM
I’d be on a plane to Vegas with that $140K with my intentions of getting “hookers and blowâ€
/Fear and Loathing-ized
April 10th, 2008 at 4:00 PM
But I look pretty good for being 98!
April 10th, 2008 at 4:03 PM
I’d donate the full 140k to orphans.
Who am I kidding? I’d be doing so much blow off of my newly hired Phillipino pool boy’s belly… err, pool girl. I meant girl. I swear…
April 10th, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Can we stop with the Brett Farve story? It’s becoming like the “24 scenerio” torture question. If Aaron is injured and out for the season and Green Bay called you saying that they had no confidence in anyone on their roster would you come back? Who is going to say no to that? What a non story. I guess that’s what happens when the first place O’s are rained out.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:07 PM
No comments on the Memphis burglary? Do you think the robbers took fur coats again?
April 10th, 2008 at 4:08 PM
For the nth time, Jay Cutler was right to call out Brandon Marshall because Brandon Marshall is a moron.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:09 PM
J Style, first place O’s has a tremendous ring to it.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:10 PM
The size of the Brinks reward isn’t too surprising. If they made it really high, it would only create an incentive for schemes to rob a bank and have someone return the money for a big reward. It seems counterintuitive to return a lot of money to get less money, but if you’re walking around town with 100 grand that you didn’t have before, someone’s going to notice.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:14 PM
You can spend the cash in the Casinos it just takes discipline to do it a little at a time. Sit down at the $25 blackjack table, put down $3,000 play 40-50 hands walk away with whats left and put it in the bank.
Learned that from a Grisham Novel
No really.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:14 PM
how has no one clowned on the guy who turned it in for that stupid thing in his ear and “artificial grass and landscaping business?”
April 10th, 2008 at 4:15 PM
sportsgal is a GILF?
April 10th, 2008 at 4:18 PM
@TBL, After using my Sprewell subject line in the PM roundup, I better get a top 4 seed in the commenter tourney.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:19 PM
TBL – by MySpace love connection you do mean a drunken night of dirty sex with no phone call afterwards, right?
April 10th, 2008 at 4:19 PM
That song Michael listens to(over and over)after Carol dumps him just played on a co-workers computer. LOL’s!
April 10th, 2008 at 4:19 PM
Goon In Lower Florida? I’m not following
April 10th, 2008 at 4:20 PM
If the reward was a pie chart for what people would do with the money had they found it. Then they gave me the donate to charity slice. Excuse me Mr. Brinks I’d like to exchange this for the keep it.
/long live mitch
April 10th, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Myspace is gay
April 10th, 2008 at 4:22 PM
fuck brinks
April 10th, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Didn’t Michael only keep playing the minute preview on Itunes? That was fucking funny.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:27 PM
@tedkerwin
Because bank robbers and amateur gamblers are known for their incredible self-discipline, right?
I like the idea. But I’m guessing most of the time it would turn into Tyrone Biggum’s $140,000 Crack Party.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:29 PM
myspace, cool! how cutting edge! its totally going to be around just as popular in 5 years too!
April 10th, 2008 at 4:29 PM

“South Park clowns Bill Belichick”
What do you expect from Colorado-bred ignorant Donkee fans who can’t get over the retirement of Horse-face Elway? Even though he pulled a serious choke-job this year, Bill’s 5 SB rings stand to trump all, including Rat-faced Shanahan!
April 10th, 2008 at 4:37 PM
While I hate both the Broncos and the Patriots… Belichick is a cock gobbler.
… ok so is Shanahan.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:38 PM

April 10th, 2008 at 4:38 PM
No comments on the Memphis burglary? Do you think the robbers took fur coats again?
John Feinstein thinks the burglars wouldn’t have done it to UCLA, Kansas, or Memphis.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:39 PM
@broseph
No doubt it requires time and patience but it can be done. Plus think of all the comps you would earn. Dude, Morton Steakhouse on Ceasars.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:39 PM
what is the deal with the mini ponies? do we still believe in unicorns? hahahahahahahahaha funniest shit i have seen all day
mini pony guy LOL
April 10th, 2008 at 4:39 PM
walfredo, you are a beautiful example of why everyone hates Patriots fans. It’s a parody, something that, I think, South Park is known for, and you’ve gone completely off the deep end.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:40 PM
Didn’t Johnny Drama date that Gladiators chick once in Entourage?
April 10th, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Oops. Scratch out Memphis and put in North Carolina
April 10th, 2008 at 4:50 PM
From Ask Men
Jenna’s never going to be in the same category as a Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley or Scarlett Johansson. But big deal! She’s funny and talented, which offsets her lack of innate sex appeal.
Fair comment
April 10th, 2008 at 4:51 PM
I saw No Country for Old Men. Return the money.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:00 PM
jim, did you like the movie? I saw it a few weeks ago, I still don’t know how I feel about it…
April 10th, 2008 at 5:00 PM
@tedkerwin: For the record, Fischer is sexier than two of those three, Scarlett being the exception.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Did someone really not know what GILF meant?
No country is pretty good. I know the ending kind of sucked, but all in all good story and good acting.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Ben, once again the voice of reason. Good job bro. You’re a number 1 seed in my book.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:05 PM
Does anyone watch The Wire? It’s easy to launder $140K. You can set up a Copy shop or another fictitious business to funnel the money through. You just have to pay taxes. If you just want to dump all the cash into a bank account get on a boat and head to Caymans.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:07 PM
No Country is excellent, but you need to watch it a few times to truly grasp everything they are trying to portray. Chigurh is one of my all time favorite movie bad guys.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:07 PM
that fight on the howard stern show is CRAZY. i haven’t listened in years, but this is wild.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Ted…Keira is liek fuckign a twig…and she would probably go purge after the BJ…Natalie looks like she doesn’t like to touch the Penis it scares her…Scarlett while amazingly hot with the milky white tatas would lay there and let you give it to her…now all of these scenarios I could work with…but I reitereat…Jenna would love sucking your cock..she would be happy to do it and that is what a good girl does..
April 10th, 2008 at 5:08 PM
I go with all three over her but that is just my tastes.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:08 PM
The acting was excellent, but I just felt like there was no resolution at all! I mean, ok, the guy’s a psycho killer, but what was the whole point of him being crazy, you know what I mean? I guess I just don’t enjoy movies that don’t wrap things up at the end.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:08 PM
I knew what GILF meant. We DILFs know alot about the ILF-phenomena. TBL would be categorized as a BLIHMBILF.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:10 PM
@SG – I liked it. Not the best movie ever, but it kept me entertained.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:10 PM
@sportsgal: That’s the reasoning I’ve heard from people who don’t like it that I don’t understand. The entire story is tied off, it’s just that the bad guy wins. True, maybe there could be a little more into what made Chigurh so fucked up, but that also adds to his mystique.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:12 PM
@Gonzo & RWH: I was going on purely looks, still ranking Fischer ahead of Knightley and Portman, but behind Scarlett. As far as a good time in the sack, it’s Fischer hands down. That is not even open for discussion.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:15 PM
I didn’t get any sense of resolution other than the Chigurh getting the money back from Josh Brolin. They throw in this storyline with drug dealers, what the hell happens with that? What happens with the money? Does the old cop ever find the Chigurh? If there’s no country for old men, then why the hell did Chigurh let the old cop live? I thought the movie was cool, I just didn’t think it was worthy of a Best Motion Picture Oscar. I like my movies to have an ending or at least some character resolution. That’s all I’m saying.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:19 PM
(1) The drug dealers were the source of the money from the beginning. The original blood bath was a drug deal gone wrong.
(2) Chigurh originally worked for/with the drug dealers and knew of the money and decided to take it for himself. He has the money at the end, though not with him in the car.
(4) Tommy Lee Jones is retired and does not find Chigurh. They never meet, hence Chigurh not seeking him out and killing him.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:21 PM
I think I agree with RWH assesment of it all. Although i think I may disagree with the Portman part, I think she would enjoy it a little bit more than she comes across. And the Knightly going to purge afterwards is priceless.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:22 PM
I am trying like hell to figure out what Point 3 was and whether Ben is being intentionally ironic in leaving out the point while explaining that the ending was complete.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:26 PM
@ted: Sadly, I’m not that deep or ironic. I had four points and condensed two of them while I typed, without re-numbering.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Apparently I can’t make up a tidy ending in my brain for this movie because I didn’t see Chigurh take the money with him after the car accident, there was no discussion of Tommy Lee’s retirement, and Chigurh was in the hotel room when Tommy Lee came back so there was technically a “meeting”.
Alright, I’ve gotta go drown my sorrows in $3 pitchers of Coors Light. Company-wide layoffs are awesome!
April 10th, 2008 at 5:29 PM
@sportsgal: I think maybe you were drunk when you watched this movie.
(1) Tommy Lee Jones thinks that Chigurh is there and that he is going in to face his destiny. In actuality, Chigurh is not there and is already gone with the money, taken out of the air duct.
(2) Tommy Lee Jones himself announces his retirement to the old guy he visits at the end.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:30 PM
Damn, you can’t go wrong wtih $3 pitchers of beer, even if it is Coors Light.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:30 PM
It is made clear in the final scenes that Tommy Lee is retired, especially the last one when he is talking to his wife.
Sorry to hear about the layoffs SG, I’m sure you will succeed in drowning those bastards, but where the hell is there $3 pitchers of Coors Light??
April 10th, 2008 at 5:30 PM
@ Ben60657
No reason for reality to enter the discussion here.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:31 PM
1. Chigurh is in the room, dude. He’s hiding out in the shadows.
2. I didn’t listen closely to that part because I was working from home at the time.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:32 PM
Point 3 details how everything comes together when Tommy Lee notices Chigurh Porcelein printed on the bottom of his coffee cup. And now you’ve forced us to ruin the ending for everyone who hasn’t yet downloaded it from thepiratebay. Smooth. Real smooth…
April 10th, 2008 at 5:33 PM
Victory Liquors – $3 pitchers, $4 Olive martinis, $5 Bombs
April 10th, 2008 at 5:34 PM
and then BJs for everyone…
April 10th, 2008 at 5:35 PM
@Sportsgal: If you really think he’s in the room than I can’t help you. He’s just not there. Tommy Lee Jones’ character thinks he’s in there and the visual is to let you know that, nothing more. He thinks he’s going in to meet his destiny and there is no one in the room. The Coen brothers did a spot-on adaptation of the book and in the book, he’s not in there.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Thanks for the info, though tonight I get to take advantage of the company with a 3 hour open bar at 5:30.
Giggity Giggity.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:37 PM
Well I think Ben found his Point 3
April 10th, 2008 at 5:39 PM
I am all for complaining about movies that go around in circles, nothing happens, and/or there’s no reasonable ending. This movie does none of that. It’s very straight forward, it’s just done in an unusual manner and the good guys most certainly do not win.
If no one could tell, I’m a big fan of that movie (and book).
April 10th, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Right there with you Ben. They followed the book almost to the T and did it very well.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:49 PM
I didn’t read the book, so I guess I’m just a moron who didn’t get it. Whatever, it’s a fucking movie, who gives a shit?
April 10th, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Let’s get drunk!
April 10th, 2008 at 5:52 PM
@sportsgal: Yikes. Apparently you do, or you wouldn’t be so defensive.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:53 PM
I’m scared to watch the Red Wings game… I’ve had the worst day ever, and keep getting bad news with every phone call.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:54 PM
I’m not defensive, I’m saying I must be an idiot because I didn’t get it!
April 10th, 2008 at 5:58 PM
The best scene was with the old guy at the gas station. That was creepy.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:58 PM
Whatever, it’s a fucking movie, who gives a shit?
April 10th, 2008 at 5:59 PM
I guess I will freely admit that the Coens are apparently smarter than me. NCFOM was a fantastic, atmospheric thriller, and then in the last 20-30 minutes, it becomes something completely different. The Coens (and/or McCarthy) are clearly making some kind of larger point that just went completely over my head, because there’s such a clear delineation: the first 90 minutes is one thing and the last 30 minutes is something else. I know that I liked it, but I’m still not sure how much I liked it.
April 10th, 2008 at 6:01 PM
@monkeymike: I loved that scene.
@sportsgal: For your reference, in the scene that monkey mentions, Chigurh doesn’t have the money yet, Tommy Lee Jones isn’t behind the door, and no drugs are bought or sold. I KID!
April 10th, 2008 at 9:55 PM
NCFOM is in my top 5 all time. If you don’t love the movie/book…we cannot be friends.
Anton Chigurh= the new wave of violence in America/The World
Tommy Lee Jones= Society—unable to come to grasp/confront this new kind of evil
Josh Brolin—false protagonist, he really serves no purpose other than to move the Chigurh/Jones story along.
April 11th, 2008 at 8:44 AM
So … the viewing audience spends 90 minutes of the movie (give or take) with a character who “serves no purpose”? And that’s awesome?
