Barataria, LA. -- Bonnie Schumaker slowed her souped-up Cessna 180 from 130 to 50 knots so I could hold open the window for documentary film producer Bo Bodart to shoot the grim scene below us. The oil-laced air rushed in and stung our throats and eyes.

Not sure who did that fan art up there but for a fan of the original comic arc that this film shares its title with, that art is geek city. Hats off to the unknown sir. Anyway, X-Men Days of Future Past was released today here in the UK and I got back from seeing it a couple of hours ago. Is it a good film? I reckon so. Click the link below for an actual review.
Tag Archives: X-Men
Here's That There The Wolverine Trailer What You Does Wanted…
Yeah, I made that title more awkward than was needed. Anyway, here's the trailer for The Wolverine. A sequel to a film that probably shouldn't have been made. My views on X-Men Origins: Wolverine are pretty much that I can watch it but it's really weak and messy. It's not X-Men 3 bad, it's just normal bad. But hey, at least Ryan Reynolds was cool for the 30 seconds he was in it, right? Anyway, click the link for the trailer for a film that is already looking like an improvement.
Stats Dump! 6 Months Old Edition
The Film Dump is 6 months old today!!! That means I have watched a total of 77 films in 6 months and wrote a review for each one. Actually I've seen 78 but I couldn't decide if Chanbara Striptease was really a film or not and so I ignored it. As you should to. Anyway, I said I'd do a Stats Dump post after 6 months so here it is. Click the link if you're the sort of boring sod that likes statistics!
Stats Dump Time!
It's officially the end of month 2 for The Film Dump and stats have been all crazy up in dis bitch over the last month. I did a stats dump entry on May 25th and at the end I said I'd do another at the 6 month mark. But due to the massive leap in views I got this month and the amount the stats have been shaken up I thought I do one now. I'm a bit of a stats geek, hopefully you are too. Here we go…
Seriously, F*** Brett Ratner
So I've just read an amazing piece of news. Apparently Brett Ratner thinks X-Men 3 is a better film than X-Men First Class because it made more money in it's weekend. I think I have a few things to say about that after the jump
Afterthoughts: X-Men: First Class
There's a danger to reviewing a film right after having seen it. Your brain is so full of swirling ideas about the film that inevitably some things get lost in the shuffle and you forget to write them down. So in this post I shall be throwing up a series of randomly generated thoughts that have popped into my head in the days since seeing the film. I get the feeling this may become a regular feature.
Movie Review No.22: X-Men: First Class
So here it is. The end of the first themed weekend on The Film Dump. I've gone through the goodness of X-Men 1 and 2, and then trudged through the hell of X-Men 3 and the mediocrity of the Wolverine movie and now I'm here, at X-Men First Class. Literally just got back from watching it so here we go.
Movie Review No.21: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Well there's only one film left to go in this series of reviews after I'm done here and that is, of course, X-Men First Class. They say that all journeys have their ups and downs. That to reach the light we must first go through the darkness… or some hippy crap like that. We've certainly been through the darkness with X-Men The Last Stand (Still can't believe how long I made that review, really sorry) and now we have, well more darkness. But you know what? Wolverine isn't as bad a film as X-Men 3. It's certainly not as bad as many people would have you believe. It's dumb as feck but it's not a total car crash. So, on with the review I guess.
Movie Review No.20: X-Men: The Last Stand.
So you're in charge of a major movie franchise, The last 2 films were hits with the second blowing everything out of the water success wise. You've hit a snag though. The director of the first 2 films has a prior engagement and has literally thrown the script for the third film in the bin. He's asking for the time to go make this other film he has lined up and then come back and do the usually risky third part of the series properly when he's back. What do you do? Miss a summer release opportunity but with the pay off that you know the film will likely be very good when made and bring in a ton of cash or do you hire the first hack who's willing to root through a bin the keys to the vehicle that is the X-Men? If you're 20th Century Fox apparently you do the latter.
Movie Review No.19: X-Men 2
If the first X-Men film was an attempt to reinvigorate the comic book movie genre then X-Men 2 was an attempt to take it too another level. Quite often sequels can fall into a number of traps. Being too similar, not expanding the universe enough, being too cautious in an attempt to not push away fans. X-Men 2 does none of these things. Everything about this film is bigger than the first, I think Wolverines claws even got longer, and it's all the better for it. So no mystery as to what I think of the film, it's a good'un. Hopefully though you'll read on to read just what makes it so good.

I hate to say it, but the Suns' refusal to stand up for a teammate is what I think sparked the loss
When Jason Terry put LB on his butt for NO REASON midway through the second quarter, the Mavs seemed to sense blood in the water. Sure enough, nobody on the Suns stood up for LB. Nobody clocked the thug Terry, and the wimpy Suns were outscored 33-14 going into the locker room.
I guarantee Raja would have gotten himself thrown out taking up for his teammate.

Is your dog a leaner? It's a common enough issue. Most serial dog owners are likely to have lived with one at some point.
But it's not just leaning. It's also standing on your feet, hugging your legs during a walk, and sleeping with the maximum amount of shared surface area in contact.
Some authorities would have you believe your dog is trying to dominate you with her weight. Others might say you're being manipulated by a poorly socialized, misbehaving suck-up who knows how to push your buttons. But the truth is something else.
In most cases this is affection-seeking behavior, plain and simple. Dogs love to cuddle. And if the person you want to cuddle with is always sitting and standing, then cuddling takes the form of leaning on her or sitting on her shoes as she taps away at the keyboard.
Add that to the fact that dogs –– pack animals that they are –– are fond of close contact as a safety measure, and you've got a great rationale for your dog's lean-on-a-leg approach to life.

|Cookbook:Tulumba Tulumba
Tulumba (Turkish: tulumba tatlısı (dessert), Greek: τουλούμπα, Cypriot Greek: πόμπα (pomba), meaning pump; Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian: τулумба) is a popular dessert in Turkish, Croatian, Greek, Bosnian, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Serbian and Albanian cuisines consisting of fried batter soaked in syrup.
The sweet is also found in Iranian cuisine as Bamiyeh, and in Egypt, known there as Balah Al-Sham (Arabic: بلح الشام). It is a popular sweet.
It is made from unleavened dough lump (about 10 cm long) given a small ovoid shape with ridges along it using an 'icing' bag with a special nozzle. It is first deep-fried to golden colour and then sugar-sweet syrup poured over it when still hot. It is eaten cold. This dessert is consumed throughout the Balkans and Turkey.

Panthers WR Steve Smith has never been one to heap undeserved praise on his fellow teammates in particular younger WRs. He has been known to call out the younger players that don't show the work ethic or exhibit the right attitude. So when he says the team doesn't need a player Plaxico Burress caliber I take notice:
Inside the Panthers: Steve Smith: No need for Plaxico
"We've filled our chairs in the receivers room with already a lot of guys – young and older guys. To bring in Plax [and] to let one of those guys go it wouldn't be the coach Rivera way. The guys that are in there, they earned those chairs for right now and allowed them to go through training camp," Smith told NFL Network.
If the current mix is okay with Smitty it's okay with me.
Here's a nice piece on free agent signee S Reggie Smith and why he was essentially allowed to walk out of San Fran:
Reggie Smith: Carolina Panthers Safety Hopeful for Success in NFL Year : Carolina Panthers
"That put me behind everybody, and I just never caught back up," Smith said. "I'm happy I was able to contribute to the season, and I enjoyed the 49ers team. I just want more."
I like the idea of following the 49ers in their rise from 6-10 to 13-3. If the Panthers should pull that off Rodney Southern has three reasons why but I found out his three are all on offense. More after the jump...
I would say those three reasons he listed as being reasons why the Panthers offense could be even better than 2011. Instead this is what is needed to win the NFC South:
Three Reasons the Carolina Panthers Could Win the NFC South: Fan's Take - Yahoo! Sports
The defense will have to improve dramatically for the Panthers to legitimately have a shot to win the NFC South. They were one of the league's worst in 2011 but have made significant strides towards improving in 2012. With the magic that is Cam Newton, even a small improvement on defense could mean a much better record.
I couldn't agree more. Yes it is obvious everything hinges on the improvement of Newton let's not forget a big part of his rookie season, which I think is pointed out well in the final couple sentences of this passage:
Around the League - SB Nation Philly
Some wonder if RG3 can have the kind of rookie year that Cam Newton did for the Panthers. No. Go watch the Panthers games. Offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski built the offense around Newton. They ran trick plays. They ran the option. They fed the ball to a pair of talented running backs. Newton threw for 4,051 yards. More than a third of that came on passes to Steve Smith (79-1,394). The Skins have some talented pass catchers, but no one who is in the same class as Smith. Newton could force the ball to Smith and the two of them were special enough for those plays to work. Does anyone think Pierre Garcon, Santana Moss, or Josh Morgan is going to have a year like Smith did? You can argue that the Skins have a better group of receivers than Newton did last year. The problem there is that young guys don't spread the ball around. They lock onto a primary target and force him the ball.
Who else to lock onto than Smitty?. Jake Delhomme was a willy veteran and he stuck to that mantra to the end.
Finally, the feel good story of the week centers again on the good work Steve Smith does off the field.
Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith puts hands, heart into Samaritan's Feet | CharlotteObserver.com & The Charlotte Observer Newspaper
"You're 21, 22, 23. I'm a young guy. I don't know what these people are doing. I haven't even really taken the time to see. It's like, 'Hey, it's a need. OK, I'll write a check,' " Smith said recently. "But as I've gotten older, I'll write a check but also be involved. Now it's to the point where I see this as an opportunity, as my career starts to wind down, to take this full-on once I'm done playing."
Hey if 1,400 yards and 8 TDs is 'winding down' feel free to wind down for three more seasons Smitty!

Women's Health
How Flibanserin Works
Exactly how flibanserin improves sexual desire isn't known for sure. "We think it modulates neurotransmitters involved in sexual functioning," says Michael Sand, PhD, MPH, director of clinical research and team leader, flibanserin, for Boehringer Ingelheim.
''It interacts with [neurotransmitters] serotonin and dopamine in the central nervous system," Thorp says.
Originally studied as an antidepressant by Boehringer Ingelheim, the drug didn't prove effective for depression. But when researchers noticed reports of improved sexual desire in some participants, the research changed focus.
As for critics, Thorp acknowledges that ''there are multiple criticisms [of the studies] that are justifiable. One is the whole measurement issue and how do you quantify an objective response? That's particularly hard when the disorder is subjective."
He notes, too, that the placebo group also saw improvement. "There was a big placebo effect,'' he says, noting that attention from a concerned doctor may also contribute to improvement in the sexual functioning of women with HSDD.
Second Opinion
"The data look good," says Kathleen Segraves, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and a sex therapist who reviewed the data for WebMD. "But only clinical experience and actual practice will reveal how clinically useful the effect is."
Case Western Reserve was one of the U.S. study sites for flibanserin, but Segraves was not involved in the study.
The real world, she says, is different from clinical trials. For instance, in the study, each woman kept an e-diary to assess her level of desire daily. That exercise may have kept women focused on the problem, Segraves says, and perhaps more motivated.
To call flibanserin the female Viagra, however, is incorrect, she says. "Viagra is a vasodilator. It only makes the penis hard, it doesn't work on the desire of a man. It may give him more confidence. It gives him a reliable erection. It inflates the penis. He still needs to have desire."
The differences in the number of satisfying sexual encounters may seem small, Segraves says. But it would probably not be considered small by the women who have the condition, she says.
"You have to remember these women have lost desire over time and for some time. You have to remember these women [with no sexual desire] are very distressed by it. If you go from zero to one, you're pleased as punch, because you were flat-lining before."
Some wonder if developing a pharmaceutical for women's lagging desire is more about business than pleasure. "We need to address multiple factors that underlie sexual desire," says Gina Ogden, PhD, a sex therapist in Cambridge, Mass., and author of The Return of Desire. Of the development of flibanserin, she says: "I think the focus is more to line the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies than to address the real and multiple factors involved in women's sexual desire." A woman's desire, says Ogden, is influenced by many factors, including her feelings about sex, what sex means to her, and what types of intimacy she prefers.

This is quite the shock, Cagesiders, but at tonight's (Jan. 28, 2014) SmackDown taping in Toledo, Ohio, two qualifying matches took place to determine the final two participants in the Elimination Chamber main event match joining Randy Orton, John Cena, Sheamus, and Daniel Bryan.
The two matches were:
1. Antonio Cesaro vs. Dolph Ziggler
2. Jack Swagger vs. Christian
The winners were:
1. Antonio Cesaro
2. Christian
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that means Antonio Cesaro will be in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE world heavyweight championship on Sun., Feb. 23, 2014, at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This is an interesting decision if only because it means Batista and Brock Lesnar have been left out, which could mean they're working together at the show, or it could mean nothing and they're both being saved for WrestleMania 30, where they are rumored for matches against Randy Orton and Undertaker, respectively.
Still, this one is shocking.
Your thoughts?

The mist rolled up the river and swept out past the reeds and oaks. Everything seemed blurred along the far edge of vision. The drone of insects and the rattling of the river were drowned by the distant sound of a child crying.
Fear emanated from the child, doubt gnawed at her heart; fear of becoming an outcast.
In the Dreaming, many things are possible. Time and distance are irrelevant. Visions may become clear or they may raise more questions. In the Dreaming you can learn much about others, even those youve never met. Such as knowing that this crying child had few she could trust around her, and that she was afraid of one she could not avoid. >> Traveled far/through much toil <<
Chrysalis groaned in her sleep.
I wonder at this child, with cares beyond her years. Who is she? She doesnt seem to be human, so what then? A Sea creature? Acoolie or Gull? No she looks to be neither. How can she walk the Dreaming without knowing or control? We must find this child yes, she is special and so afraid. But this is just the Dreaming, I dont know where she may be. I must inform the others, but I must sleep, real sleep
Chrysalis sighed as she fell into the dark enveloping clouds of deep sleep.

Nadir ran hard. Her temple still throbbed from her punishment, but she had to keep running. She had slipped into the City via the Great Gate, as Leslies scouts strode out. She had crept along the streets towards the keep where she could feel Sam. Just as she rounded the corner, the Gates of the Barracks loomed up before her. She smiled as she heard Shatyfia names screamed from within. Then .
You keep moving there Miss. Nothing to see here. A big burly soldier towered over her.
My arent you a handsome fellow. Nadir knew he was her ticket to Sam. In your fine-looking uniform, so tall and strong.
Now see here Miss, you move along or youll see more of this place than youd care too.
This wasnt right words were failing her. But, see, its my brother, hes inside. I need to see if he is all right. Mother is beside herself with worry, after the attack and all. Please, wont you help me? Nadir simpered. She had him now.
Now listen Miss, if your brother is within, which I doubt, hell be on duty. You and your mother will have to wait until his shift ends. Now move along!
Nadir scowled, and marched off, and stormed straight into a group of people.
Her hands flustered against two of the group. They recoiled in shock.
Forget, forget, that we ever met. Nadir instinctively chanted.
Two fainted, all eyes swung to Nadir. She took and involuntary step backwards.
What NO! Guards!!
Gull! Gull on the grounds!
The group pulled their limp friends away rom Nadir and kept shouting.
Nadir ran.
The guard was still on her tail, and she was moving away from her quarry. They would pay dearly for this inconvenience.

Jack was sleeping fitfully. Strange dreams plagued his him.
He was in a tunnel; running away from something. He had to reach his goal before it caught him up. He wasnt afraid, he was running towards hope; his last and only hope.
**wakes just before the dream explains itself**
A sudden resounding boom brought Jack abruptly from his slumber.
Confused but alert, Jack took in his surroundings and was on his feet in a matter of moments.
SAM!! What in the name of the Stars are you doing?
Sam crashed his shoulder against the door with his full weight behind it, again. The door did not so much as shudder.
Sam looked back at Jack. Sorry, didnt mean to wake you. He made to take another run at the door.
Jack grabbed his arm pulling him back.
By the Stars! Youll have woken everyone! Whats gotten into you? Jack wished the words back as soon as they escaped his lips. What are you doing?
Sam had stopped pulling away and turned those deep brown eyes up to Jack. I want to get outside. He said it so simply; so childlike.
Sam, its the middle of the night, you should be asleep, not trying to shatter the door down. Jacks tone was soft, yet tinged with reproached concern.
Jack, I need to be outside. Besides, Sams voice strengthened. Shes in my dreams. I need to be active. I could take over someone on the Watch. His eyes widened with hope.
Oh Sam. No well both stay here. Perhaps we could ask for some dice. That would keep you busy. The guard would be up to inspect the noise soon anyway.
Sam grinned, he actually grinned. Reaching deep into his shirt and produced a small leather pouch.
I dont believe it. Jack rolled his eyes.
Always keep my lucky ones with me. Sam shrugged and both fell to laughing.
They passed the night with gambling and the stories that always accompany such activities.
* * * * *
A sinister shadow loped up the stairs of the Keep. Its black blade drawn and bloodied, and craving more.

You can enjoy a night out with your pet later this week.
The Albany Humane Society will hold its 2nd Yappy Hour at Riverfront Seafood Shack on North Jefferson Thursday to raise money for the Healthy Hounds Fund.
It costs $10 per person, but dogs are free.
You can enjoy a glass of wine and an appetizer, while doggy treats and ice cream will be served to your pooch.
All proceeds will help treat injuries and heart worms for animals at the shelter that otherwise would not get adopted.
"It is near and dear to my heart because we would love to become a 'no kill' shelter, which is very hard to do, especially when you have animals that are in bad shape, that type of thing. And this money goes to help give them a second chance," says Jay Robertson, Albany Humane Society Board President.
Yappy Hour will be held from 5:30PM to 7:00PM on Thursday July 14th.
Dogs must have current rabies vaccination tag and be kept on a leash at all times.

George is the little brown pointy eared one. The fat one with the eye brows is Brodie, my sister's dog, but I stole him for the weekend. :)
It's not you, it's me. I think I've just reached that point in my life where I need to see other people…like in real life…you know…instead of through the magical world of tumblr. It's scary, but it's time.
(Please read the following while listening to either Michelle Branch's "Goodbye to you", Green Day's "Good Riddance" or Bob Dylan's "Don't think twice" for the proper emotional tone)
Dear followers,
Here's the deal, I want to be real with you. Almost two and a half years ago I suffered an incredibly painful heartbreak and after months of laying around on the floor bawling my eyes out, I decided to use my greatest defense mechanism: Humor.
Maybe it's because I'm a history major and we just take stories and over analyze them to death looking for a common theme to attempt to write something profound about, but 2011 was an ugly year for relationships in my circle of friends. I started this blog to help others and myself see the lighter side of these painful experiences. My hope is that I was able to at least connect with some reader out there and brighten their day, I know that I enjoyed reading your stories and felt less alone because of it.
The truth is, after 2 years of this, I'm getting bored. Bored with myself.
There, I just summed up over 1,000 posts in 5 bullet points. Anyway, this past weekend I was up at my cabin…with my parents and dogs, naturally…and I realized that if I had stayed together with the boy that had originally smashed my heart and led me to believe I was going to be a cat lady it would have been our anniversary. And maybe it was the Beyonce in my headphones or the Paul Walker poster above my bed, but I realized…who cares? Since I've been this so called "Spinster" I've made way more friends and got closer to all the friends I had than if I had stayed with him. I have been to five different countries, taken spontaneous vacations with my girl friends that turned into the most fun I've ever had, I've lost weight, I've totally transformed my life for the better.
Sure, it gets a little lonely and I will probably still throw myself a 5 minute pity party for one every time I see another person I went to high school with post their engagement photos online, but honestly I feel free. Free in the best sense. I'm able to do what I want, or at least I'm free enough to take the time to figure out what it is that I want.
I am grateful that this silly little tumblr was able to help me realize this, and even more grateful that I got to connect with some really awesome people out there. I even met my internet soul mate http://currentsingleladyfuturecatlady.tumblr.com/ who coincidentally messaged me to let me know she suddenly had this realization too and we hope that you will someday see this too. And I PROMISE, we didn't go and find boyfriends and now are abandoning you. Hah, the thought of that just makes me laugh.
Anyway, I just wanted to say a little goodbye to my internet friends. Thank you all so much for making me feel connected to you strangers. I wish you all the very best of luck.
Cheers and Meow.
they're just like…
George is the little brown pointy eared one. The fat one with the eye brows is Brodie, my sister's dog, but I stole him for the weekend. :)
My sister and I share a room at the cabin and she had tons of pictures up of her husband so I put up some of mine
these are my disgusting friends.
soooo….I had the day off, and I should have done something outside or attempted to meet people…instead I started another tumblr. "memorable meals." if you love food as much as I do, you might like this.
So most girls go to a costume party dressed as sluts, but this is how we do it.
Mrs. Doubtfire, Chinese Foxy Cleopatra, Rambo, Tsu Chen
well aren't you just the nicest person online!
"And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams"
Oh boy, so I set out to write these personal essays in hopes that one day they will be published together in a book that would hopefully be a top seller at your local Urban Outfitters. The original goal was to write about three new essays a week, and develop a following and I don't know, become famous? Well, I wrote two short essays, gained about three followers and then neglected the whole thing for a month. Sounds about right.
Here's the deal, since I wrote a month ago, I have officially graduated college. Have you all seen the movie "The Graduate?" I feel like my life is a little too much like Dustin Hoffman's in the film. Well, okay so I'm not rich, or having an affair one of my parent's friends, and I didn't graduate top of my class from an Ivy league school…hmm maybe I'm not so much like him after all, BUT I can relate in that I have no idea what I want to do now other than to lay around on a floaty in the pool all day every day.
I'm 23 years old and just finished college. Therefore, you can see I am already a year behind schedule. Society, peer pressure, and media give people in my current situation this mixed message…"you are young, go out and make mistakes, live your life, travel, this is the time in your life to do it all" and "immediately get a high paying office job that comes with benefits, if you do not do this right now, you are a failure." Add to this mixed message the constant dark cloud of the economic crisis that struck the minute I graduated high school and has progressed into a on going terror to this day, projections foresee it only getting worse and there you have the perfect formula to a generation of over educated, under qualified, anxiety filled, young adults.
What do I do? That's the question on all of our minds right? While I sit around pondering my place in the world, I scroll through Facebook and Instagram and see all these people my age getting married, having kids (intentionally), starting high paying careers and I'm posting pictures of my new band shirts and my slice of Pizza that looks "totally dank." What exactly is the cut off date of when it's cool to wear band t-shirts every day with jean shorts and converse, to when wearing that makes it look like you are an adult trying way too hard to be a teen? Can I still shop at Forever 21?
I am constantly talking to my best friends asking them for advice but it seems we are all in different stages of this confusing mess. Some of my friends did graduate from great schools, and got the high paying job right away…guess what, they hate it. Some of them graduated and have applied to literally hundreds of jobs and turns out you need a minimum of 10 years of unpaid experience to even serve coffee. Some are doing the travel to foreign countries, fall in love with strangers, and basically be that person we all secretly really want to be, and at the same time are judging for being so foolish and careless.
I try to weigh my options in a responsible way but the outcome seems to be the same, I DON'T KNOW! If I were to do the wild, carefree, live like a hipster version what would I do? Move to a different country? And do what? Be isolated and fall further behind? Drive across the country and meet new people? Hah! I've seen enough movies to know that's how you get tied up in someone's basement!
Okay, so what if I try to get a start to a career and make the next step into adulthood? What am I qualified for….well I have six years of experience of working with children. In other words, I am pretty much the worlds best dodge ball player, I know the difference between a penis drawing and a Squidward drawing, and I have a super cool nickname, "Lady Pig." Apparently these are not marketable skills in the job market.
My part time job will end in about a month and half, I have a journal sitting next to me labeled "Crazy Ideas How To Get $$$ Part 1," and I'm blasting Frank Turner's "Photosynthesis," screaming the lyrics
Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate,
about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up.
and hoping that some miracle will fall into my lap and tell me what exactly it is that I need to do.
For those of you who have it figured out , I salute you. For the rest of us, struggling to pick a path to take, cheers my friend.

My sister is now married…and I am still sittin around in my underwear & cartoon t shirts.
Haha, no I actually hate snakes but I'm just thinking in advance. I'll most likely be a dog lady…but each year I lose my mind a little more so I'm not ruling snake basement out.

15 UCLA students (women) decided to get revenge in the prank war! Go Bruins! BEAT $C.
Greetings ladies and gentlemen of Bruins Nation, hope all of your days are going swimmingly. So in recent weeks our True Bruin Blue has been the subject of many a fanpost here at Bruins Nation, with Bruins worldwide lamenting the fact that our beloved True Blue is not a staple color along the lines of Texas' Burnt Orange or Alabama's Crimson, and over the fact that little to no effort has been made to address this problem. Well look no further. The link provided above may be only a small step (it is only a Facebook event after all), but it is a step in the right direction! It's a concerted effort to "Blue Out" the Rose Bowl for our most anticipated game, against $UC*. So if you could all access the event, click "Attending," and then invite all of your diehard Bruin friends, then this may just amount to something. Remember, Facebook events which generate enough steam get Daily Bruin attention. Daily Bruin attention gets the students' attention. And student participation leads to world domination. Or something along those lines. Be a part of the movement.
It's a night game at 7:30 PM and on FSN Everybody can be drunk by midnight!
