Yes, Virginia, Octupi do get erections.
But, the cold water in the North Sea is keeping the fish, ummm, small. At least they aren't known as the Purple Mr. Stubby.

He didn't go to work... but the internet does have his name...Alternate Title: Do the Bartman
He works in the suburbs. I can't believe they prided themselves on not disclosing his name, but described where he worked, his neighbors, and where he lives. However, this article disclosed his name and where he works. The man, if the Cubs don't win, will be villified for life. He seriously may have to move. And on top of that, he is a huge fan himself of the Cubs and will blame himself forever.

I am rooting for the Marlins. But I feel really sorry for this guy. I mean his face was on National TV, on the Internet, and will be all over the front page of Chicago news papers. He shouldn't go to work tomorrow. His co-workers know who he is. His friends know who he is. The guys who sat next to him probably know who he is. If the Cubbies don't win, this guy will be villified. The kid who a couple years ago messed up a play in the Orioles/Yankees Playoff game - his name is still known and talked about. I don't recall it, but have seen it in print as recently as tonight. Anyway, Go Marlins.

I am not sure that Uma will actually Kill Bill
So I saw the most talked about movie of, well, the weekend. While overall I liked it, I found it to be too violet/gorey. In much the same way as South Park cussed too much, Kill Bill killed too much. While QT is good at making violence funny (the spouting blood was funny to a point), but he overdid it. I really thought switching to Anime midway was good. While Kevin thought that the Man from Okinawa scene was too long, I thought it was the best "chapter" of the movie. It told a very good story without TELLING the story. The story was implied and brought about slowly. While watching it, I thought the Sake scene was odd and unnecessary, but as the scene progressed I thought it was well played and needed to be in the movie. It made the movie more than just a hack 'em up. Oh, and I liked the way QT ended it.
