answer key

i'll admit that poser's "two economists are walking down the street" joke wasn't exactly hilarious, but you had to love his lead-in: waving off a student comment and declaring, "i have to get this off my chest."

i'm going to get right down to business tonight, as i've still got a few hours to spend with our beloved DHH text. congratulations to the winner of the year-in-pictures contest, who asked to be identified as "raj." raj, i'll be emailing you in a day or two to let you know where you can pick up your prize. anyway, congrats, and thanks to the five people who tried to identify all of the images.

anyhow, to those of you who care, here's the answer key to my year-in-pictures from a couple days ago.

1. just a shower head, right? wrong. Raj got this one right... it's a famous shot from hitchcock's psycho.
2. i don't know where the hell pic #2 went, but it was colonel kilgore from apocalypse now.
3. come on, you've got to know that's the dude, listening to the sounds of the humpback whales! 4/5 of you got this right.
4. just some cool pic of a cat... not from any movie / tv show that i know of.
5. a cast photo from "head of the class," a mediocre tv show about a bunch of nerds. bonus points to those of you who remembered (or looked up) character names such as arvid engen (the biggest nerd), dennis blundon (the fat guy), eric (the bad boy), darlene (the one who got her ass kicked by iron mike), and simone (the hot-ass redhead).
6. barton fink!
7. just a lightning bolt, not from a movie
8. this is from the classic film, "a night in paris" starring paris hilton. in this scene, she is giving skull to the cameraman. and yes, that is just the tiniest bit of dong in the corner of the frame. i like to slip in a little pinga here and there.
9. some of the best tracking shots of all time... the first of four pics from the shining. the character on the trike is danny torrance. Raj got bonus points for naming the overlook hotel as another character pictured in this shot... it's a nice place to spend the winter. "perfect for a child."
10. obviously this is willy wonka. bonus points to the person who also named charlie bucket.
11. also from the shining. no one got this one right, but these are delbert grady's daughters. or their ghosts. or something.
12. kurtz from apocalypse.
13. danny again rockin' the bomb-ass haircut.
14. it's those wacky grady girls again.
15. annie from misery
16. a couple of you guessed that this is steve prefontaine, but i'm pretty sure it's just a random pic of some dude running.
17. regan from the exorcist. that one was a gimme.
18. i have no idea who this dude is, but he's pretty much my hero.
19. this is bobby in deliverance squealing like a pig.
20. i love this frame. it's leonard lawrence a.k.a. private gomer pyle from full metal jacket.

just one more class until the weekend. next week is my big moot court thingy. obviously, i'm not exactly excited for that one, but it'll be cool i hope. there was a great post on intermeddler yesterday on the topic of the moot court tryouts; read it if you're looking for any helpful hints and suggestions.

this comment just came in on yesterday's entry, and i don't want it to get lost in the shuffle: "Menlove, can you post a masturbation poll on the site? This convo has got me thinking- how often do other people masturbate? I mean, I pull at least once a day, if not more. I'm curious- am I a freak?"

menlove replies: once a day, if not more? you are a dirty, dirty sinner. unfortunately, last time i tried posting a poll, it didn't work. i'll try again in the next few days, but feel free to discuss on the message board in the meantime.

finally, if you haven't already, feel free to email me right now at menlovebls@hotmail.com, and pledge a dollar or more for Africare. i hate to come off like sally struthers, but we raised over 200 dollars this week, and maybe we can keep it going in the coming week as well.

have a great weekend, every last one of you.
