I'm sure there are others out there who have been asked for a Doc party...so here are some ideas to party on the cheap!
1. I found a cute pic of Doc and her stuffed animals online, copied it into Paint on my computer and wrote over the sky, "You are invited to Doc Mc(child's first name) Clinic to help celebrate her 3rd Birthday!"
2. Add a little insert to the kids telling them to bring their favorite stuffed animal to the party so they can give them a check up! Have a check up station ready with arm bands, toy medical supplies, a height chart, scales. You can also make a fake prescription pad for them to write on.
3. take a sheet of the colored foam (I used the pre-cut half sheet size) and 4-5 sheets of blank paper. Cut the blank paper in half width wise and fold them in half inside the foam and staple it shut. This will make a Big Book of Boo Boo's. (I hope I explained it well enough.)
4. Find x-rays online and print one or two off for each child. Yes, it's on white paper, but if they hold it up to a window on a sunny day, it works quite well.
5. Go on the CDC website and you can order growth charts to send home, "prescription" pads (they are for the doc to check off about if you have a cold or an infection and if you are on antibiotics...they aren't real prescription pads and are great for play time). All of it is free. You can also print off coloring books and such. These things are great for the party gift bags.
6. Also, cut out a few extra arm bands to send home with them as well.
7. Hit up the dollar tree for band aids, 2x2's and masks. Grab some cotton balls out of the bathroom. Hit up Walmart in the craft section and get some craft sticks (aka: tongue depressors). For about $5 you can finish off the gift bags.
8. Make a birthday banner from art paper. You can get a roll 18 inches by 75 feet for 4.99 at Michael's. You can usually get a coupon for 40-50% off one item at full price if you scan the QR code at the front door. You can also print off a picture of Doc McStuffins to glue on the sides of the banner.
9. You can also print off the doc pictures in a circle on card stock...use those to hang from the ceiling or you can take a piece of construction paper, cut it in half lengthwise, tape them together end to end and then fold in an accordian shape and tape the two free ends together to make a circle thing...tape or glue the doc picture in the middle.
10. You can also use helium (We bought a tank last year and have plenty left) to blow up some pink and purple latex balloons. (Don't let the kids take them home...if they accidently inhale the latex after the balloon pops, it's a suffication hazard that a child can die from even if they are in the ER when it happens. The local children's hospital does NOT allow visitors to bring in latex balloons for this exact reason.) And then tape the doc picture on the balloons. You can also print of Lambie, Stuffy, and/or Hallie.
11. Print off the biggest Lambie you can, print off or cut out small crowns to fit on her head and play "Pin the crown on Princess Lambie." (I picked Lambie because it would use less ink in the printer...lol.) You could also pin the wings on stuffy (or his tail) or pin the glasses on Hallie.
12. Make your own water bottle labels with doc on them, print them off and put them on the water bottles. (Doc McStuffins doesn't drink sugary drinks.
I hope these help people cut down on the costs of a birthday party!

[Note: On 8 May 2015, Secretary Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya of the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) issued Department Order No. 2015-011, amending Department Order No. 97-1092 to promote mobility. Among the amendment is the provision of the Transportation Network Vehicle Service (TNVS), which basically refers to existing "ride-sharing" or "app-based ride-hailing" services like Uber and GrabCar. The Philippines is the FIRST country in the world to regulate this service. There is, of course, an opposition from operators of taxis and Public Utility Vehicles (PUVs), which are required to comply with certain requirements (e.g., franchise, insurance coverage). PUVs are common carriers and are issued the corresponding PUV license plates. The TNVS are private vehicles that can operate like PUVs and, for purposes of liability, will most likely be treated as a common carrier. PUVs must also secure prior approval from the LTFRB before they can raise fares, but TNVS, based on the D.O 2015-011, are not covered by the same requirement. On the other hand, ride-sharing private vehicles are not required to be registered with the LTFRB based on existing practice. This will change because the regulations now require the driver to be accredited with the LTFRB. There is a high likelihood that the driver will also be required to register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) which, in turn, will also require the registration with the local government (Mayor's Permit). What do you think of the new regulations? Express your thoughts through the comment section below. The pertinent portion of Department Order No. 2015-011 relating to TNVS is reproduced below.]

Premature Marriage No Longer a Crime
The death of either spouse dissolves the marital bond (same effect with annulment or declaration of nullity). This simply means that, subject to compliance with certain requirements, the husband or the wife is free to marry again. There is no legal obstacle for remarriage (and we've heard of a plot or two involving a spouse who wants to kill the other spouse so he/she can marry another person). Men may remarry right away. Women, on the other hand, must wait for 301 days or, if pregnant at the time of the husband's death, must wait until childbirth, before they can remarry. Continue reading

Heavy rains bring more sewage to Whitmire's Tryon propertyPublished 6:30pm Thursday, May 9, 2013
Wastewater spill
Through the weekend rains, the town also suffered a sewage discharge on New Market Road, near Whitmire's house. The discharge of untreated wastewater came from a manhole on New Market Road before Vaughn Creek. An estimated 59,027 gallons reached surface waters of a tributary to Vaughn Creek. The discharge was reported at 10 a.m. on May 5 and ended at 6:30 p.m.
Burrell was unavailable at press time to answer questions regarding the spill or if the town received a fine from the state because of the spill.
During Tuesday's meeting the spill was briefly addressed. At that time Burrell said the town received a $7,900 fine the last time its system experienced a spill. Tryon received another $4,000 fine prior to that for sewage spills. The last few times a spill occurred during a major rain event the state didn't fine anyone because so many occurred throughout the state, Burrell told commissioners.
"That's the interesting part," Baker said. "We're not alone in this. Ms. Whitmire unfortunately is the one paying the real price."
Whitmire, who is 68, said she pays her taxes and water and sewer bills and said she feels like this is the time she should be relaxing.
"You try to hold up and think things will get better, but when it happens it just makes you furious," she said. "It drains you. Tryon is supposed to be the nicest little place, but for me it's the worst place."
Town council meets again on May 21 at 7 p.m. at the fire department.

Ted Simons: Good evening and welcome to "Arizona Horizon." I'm Ted Simons. The Maricopa County judge says Arizona's medical marijuana law is constitutional. Superiority court judge Michael Gordon ruled that Federal drug laws do not prohibit state officials from implementing Arizona's medical pot initiative. Today's ruling means that the state's first medical marijuana dispensary could open as early as this week in Glendale. The landholder's organization is holding the fourth annual land and housing conference tomorrow at the downtown Phoenix Sheraton. It is titled fact or fiction, and we'll explore issues that affect Arizona's real estate industry, here to talk about those issues is Greg Vogel, the founder and CEO of the land advisor's organization. Valley real estate brokerage firm. And Mike Orr, the director for the center for real estate theory and practices ASU The future of the valley land and housing market, why that particular title?
Greg Vogel: Well, we originally established this conference for the idea of really looking at how the press is really viewing real estate, especially in 2008 and 2009. It was very frustrating to read headline after headline. The first conference we had was more of a positive outlook in the, of the future growth. As this recovery has taken really hold now, the question is, is it going to last, and we have seen really a, what we believe is a firm foundation for recovery for the balance of the decade. But, there is so many facts, many of which Mike Orr has studied heavily, things that we study heavily, that leave questions to be answered.
Ted Simons: As far as land is concerned, is the recovery back, and how long can it last.
Greg Vogel: As we look decade-by-decade, and we think about what recovery means, and what it means to whom, if you talk about Gilbert or Chandler or southeast valley related land and lots, it's beyond recovery. It's in a full run. If we look to other areas of the valley, further out areas, we're still seeing the recovery, and part of that is starting much of the way the southeast valley did.
Ted Simons: As far as real estate is concerned, would the median price be going up, and up again?
Mike Orr: They are going up again. We had a slight hesitation during the hot months of summer, which is quite normal, but this year has been fairly quiet, amazing for the increase in Phoenix home prices.
Ted Simons: I want to go back to the idea of fact and fiction. Has there been much fiction regarding housing in Phoenix?
Mike Orr: Well, I think it really goes back to 2008 and 2009. We had a terrible year in 2008 because the market was being flooded by bank-owned homes, but when prices stabilized in 2009, a lot of people refused to believe it. They thought, prices were just going to go way, way lower, and in fact, we had a bit of a bounce that year, although it did not really last very much in terms of an increase, it did not go down very much more, either. We, actually, have had a stable pricing from really April 2009 through to, to the middle of last year.
Ted Simons: But that stability, that stable pricing, that was pretty low compared to where we were.
Greg Vogel: It was quite fall from 180 or so a square foot on the retail side, new homes have fallen not as much. And that's a factor as it relates to just the cost of production. What's it worth to build home. So, the new housing didn't fall as much as the resale, but also the activity in terms of its share of the market fell to nil.
Ted Simons: As far as new home sales are concerned, though, those are up big-time.
Mike Orr: Yes. The October numbers were about 85% higher than the previous October last year, which is impressive, but it is from low numbers, last year was quiet.
Mike Orr: The new home Production is, is really accelerating now.
Ted Simons: Why do you think that's happening?
Mike Orr: Well, there is still a lot of demand for houses, even at the higher prices, we have got more buyers than have sellers, that's pushing people to look for new homes. It's competitive out there if you are trying to buy resale home, and if you go to look for new home, at least you know you can get it, if you can get the funding.
Ted Simons: Talk about new home prices, new home sales, and what that means to land, what that means to developers trying tore buy upland.
Greg Vogel: Well, sure. And I think one of the things that relates to this demand for new homes and why, keep in mind, in 2008 and 2009, there was direct competition with that 2006 speck home that was all, all done up with all the upgrades. And now, we are six years later, that home has been rented or sold twice, and we're really dealing with a different environment. So, the new homes have lots of new features, and they have much more economy to them as it relates to the, the green side of things, the net zero homes, the technology, the floor plans, and bright and shiny, but the other factor is how easy is it to buy home today, and if you go to new home subdivision, there is lots of help there in terms of getting financing. You are not competing with investors. There is a lot of stability in that new neighborhood, versus buying within a neighborhood that lab full of resales and rentals.
Ted Simons: As far as housing in general, talk about that. The ability to buy home now as compared to couple of years ago.
Mike Orr: Well, credit standards are pretty high. People are still in the process of repairing their credit, but we are starting to see people come back into the market, and that's actually a significant source of new buyers now.
Ted Simons: As far as foreclosure starts and completions, what are we seeing in there?
Mike Orr: They are down, and they are still headed downwards, no sort of real surprises there, drifting down to going back to normal levels, I think, by the time we get through next year.
Greg Vogel: And also finish answering your question as it relates to price, we had a low of 185,000 in 2009. It's now up to 260. So, the mix is also changing in terms of the areas which hems are being sold. Keep in mind, in 2009, 2008, we were selling, still, the remaining wreckage, the inventory of surplus new homes. We are out of any surplus of new homes. We're at a low in terms of that stock, and also the mix-up of where the homes are selling in terms 69 hot area being the southeast valley, the northwest valley. That mix is about to change.
Ted Simons: I think that people would be surprised because we kept hearing place like Maricopa and other areas where there was street after street of empty homes. And you are saying that does not exist anymore.
Greg Vogel: It does exist. The absorption of homes to date has been slow. The number of active builders in Maricopa dropped from almost every builder in town was down there, and that was by the dozen back in 2005 and 2006. It dropped less than half a dozen builders being active. Recently, though, there's been new purchases of lots in Maricopa, and it really has to do with supply, and supply of lots have dwindling dramatically in what these initial preferred quadrants was. And that's going to disperse growth. Much differently than occurred over the past three years.
Ted Simons: Are you saying that as far as where the dispersement of growth, are you seeing people moving to certain areas, buying resale homes in certain areas? We always hear that no one wants to live far away because of the gas prices, is that showing up on the numbers?
Mike Orr: It depends on how much cheaper they can get a home, you know. People will drive further if you can really get much nicer home for the same amount of money, so, they are constantly evaluating that.
Ted Simons: And as bottom line regarding supply of homes, up? Considerably?
Mike Orr: Well, we hit a low point at the beginning June. It generally rises most years, as we head to Thanksgiving and it falls off again, and this year we have had bit more significant increase.
Mike Orr: When the prices go up, sellers get more enthusiastic, and buyers lose bit of enthusiasm so that's been happening over the last few months.
Ted Simons: But we have seen enthusiasm from buyers, at least until the last few months?
Mike Orr: Well, they are still enthusiastic. One or two of the investors saying, ok, Phoenix is too expensive, let's go and find somewhere cheaper. But, there is still plenty of buyers, what I am now seeing is the sellers are coming out to meet them, and it's getting a bit more balanced.
Ted Simons: Real quickly regarding investors, still heavy, a big influence on the market. Is it a healthy influence on the market?
Mike Orr: It's been an influence that's stabilized the market. If there was none, there would nobody buyers but we have ordinary people buying. I kind of wish that the investors would quiet down a bit and let the owner copy --
Mike Orr: Pick up the slack.
Ted Simons: You mentioned new homes, people were looking for, developers building a different type of home, more ecologically, environmentally sensitive. Floor plans, what's changed? If you were looking for home five years ago and you are looking if new one now, how are they different?
Greg Vogel: A few things, one is the next jen home when you might have heard quite a bit about, and this idea of multiple generations residing in the same house, which hasn't been terribly common in America. It came common in the downturn. Especially with the sandwich generation of children and parents coming back home. That's big new idea. The other is a more open floor plan for sure. And clearly we are seeing more innovative housing, and you are about to see more things that relate to the smaller lots that became dysfunctional during the downturn. They are coming back with new and innovative design. So, that's relatively exciting of course especially for parts of the southeast valley. That's going to start, but that will spread surely to new and other areas.
Ted Simons: All right. Good stuff, interesting information. Good to have you here, thanks for joining us.
Both: Thank you.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
Question from applezgomoo
How do I get the Slytherin Crest in Dumbledore's Army?
Its in this building I cant get in. And there's this question mark over this girls head. Help me out please?
4 years ago
Slytherin Crest: You need dark magic for this. Take your dark magic user
and switch to the yellow spell. In normal gameplay, this is Focus. For
dark magic users, it's the Imperius Curse. Go to Madam Puddifoot's and
stand outside until you see a yellow aura around the girl inside. Press
Circle to control her and get the crest.
4 years ago
I found this section confusing, but what finally worked for me was to a character with the yellow 'focus' spell (I used Dumbledore), and when I stood close to the window of Madam Puddifoot's and hit 'Y', it switched me to the character inside the shop (just called 'girl' at the top left of the screen where the character's name shows). I could then control 'girl', and walk her over to the crest piece to collect it.
The controls for this were confusing because when I was in range of 'girl', the 'B' prompt showed up with the yellow aura, but holding 'B' did nothing - what you need to do is tap (but not hold) 'Y' to simply switch characters. The 'B' prompt is misleading as far as I can tell.
I did this in the Xbox version, and in free play, so I'm not sure if it would work in story mode, or on another system. I posted this answer because I found that the other answers online didn't explain well enough to answer my question.

The '94 titans finished this past weekend (June) tournament, in dramatic fashion, with the clash of the Titans (Tulsa vs Arkansas). The game was for 3rd place. And by the grace of God and a timely rebound and put back by Macey Martinez, the Arkansas Lady Titans prevailed 44-43.
We finished the tournament with a 3-2 record, losing 2 games by a total of 9 points. Four of the 5 games were decided by 5 points or less. The biggest difference, in all of the games, was the play of Tammy's '95 grade group. Cayden, Jessica, Katelyn, Lauren and Ashton were instrumental in each and every game. An unbelievable effort on their part both on and off the court.
Most of the time we had more 7th graders on the floor than 8th graders while the competition was all 8th grade, yet they never backed down, never gave up and never lost faith. I've coached a lot of games in my life but probably had more fun coaching these kids, this weekend, than any other group that I've ever coached.Coach Wedding Lady Titan 94

Kevin Ollie signs with the Thunder
The Thunder has signed veteran point guard Kevin Ollie.
Terms of the deal are unclear, but the contract likely is a one-year deal for the 36-year-old journeyman.
Ollie is entering his 13th NBA season and has career averages of 3.8 points, 2.3 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game. He spent last season in Minnesota, where he played 50 games for the Timberwolves and averaged 4.0 points, 2.3 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 17 minutes per game.
Ollie's best season came in 2002-03 in Milwaukee and Seattle. While playing all 82 games, he averaged 6.5 points, 3.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 23.1 minutes.
Ollie has also played for Dallas, Orlando, Sacramento, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Chicago, Indiana, and Cleveland. With the Thunder he likely will serve as a third string guard behind Russell Westbrook and Shaun Livingston and add another experienced veteran to help mentor one of the youngest rosters in the NBA.

Hi, I'm new to WordPress. Here's what I'd like to do: create a membership site where users can register to create their own private blog of sorts. I want to give users a limited set of admin controls accessible from the front end of the site: post responses to questions I've authored, edit their own posts whenever they choose, and print a collection of their own posts to pdf. I'd like to set things up so that each user's posts are private - only viewable (after login) by the user who authored the post.
Questions: can this be done in WP? Where to learn how (recommended tutorials, books)?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Have you ever heard of Leon Theremin? If you don't know him but you like electronic music or have ever used a toll road transponder, or even if you've noticed the square tag on the side of a peanut butter jar at the grocery store, you have Leon Theremin to thank. The early 20th century Russian-born inventor developed technologies that have and will continue to change our world.
Despite the very tangible political or economic benefits it could bring, Russia never considered peacefully ceding any of its remaining territorial holdings to its neighbours. During the 1998 financial crisis for example, President Boris Yeltsin never thought of selling the sparsely populated, almost vestigial property of Sakhalin Island in the north Pacific to a cash-rich, land-poor Japan, even as Russia desperately needed hard currency to prop up a crashing ruble. If and when Crimea votes to leave Ukraine for Russia, Western economic sanctions will surely follow if Russia happily embraces the peninsula.
When black Dutch players received their Jim Crow-inspired welcome in Krakow last week, we were shocked, stunned, and depressed -- but hardly surprised. This stuff ain't new in that part of the world. Meanwhile a portion of the 10,000 Russian fans who have bought tickets will be holding a march from central Warsaw to the stadium. Poles view it as "provocative." Can you really blame them?
The Soviet Union once sought to intimidate, undermine, influence, subvert, exploit, deceive, penetrate, and dominate every country it had dealings with -- friendly or otherwise. It was paranoid and paralyzed by its dependence on the secret police. But today, the best course of action with Russia is to leave the damn country alone.
Three subsequent important prime ministers -- Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien and Stephen Harper -- invested their energies cleaning up the wreckage left by Pierre Trudeau. Finally, nobody speculates any more about Canada defaulting on its debt, or splitting apart, or being isolated from all its major allies.

Kenton Chen, an Irvine native and graduate of Irvine High School, will perform with his a capella group, the Backbeats, on tonight's season premiere episode of the NBC reality TV show, "The Sing-Off."
Chen, a 2010 graduate of USC, combines jazz, classical and pop influences to create music that's playful, thoughtful and full of heart. On his website, the singer, songwriter and actor says he helped launch Los Angeles' first Asian American Music Festival.
At USC, Chen was a featured member of the SoCal VoCals — two-time winners of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella.
"The Sing-Off," hosted by pop singer Nick Lachey, starts its second season tonight at 8. The series debuted last December. This battle of voices will continue on Dec. 8, 13 and 15, culminating with a live finale on Monday, Dec. 20 from 8-10 p.m.
The winner of the show gets $100,000 and a Sony Music recording contract. Last year's winner was 6-member a capella group Nota from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The celebrity judges are Ben Folds of Ben Folds Five; Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men, and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls (and former "Dancing with the Stars" champion).
The show is going to feature 10 of the nation's top a capella groups performing popular songs. There's no lip-synching, no backup band, and, according to the NBC website, no safety net. According to Wikipedia, the rules have been revised a bit so only stateside U.S. acts can compete (in other words, no Puerto Rican groups can repeat last year's victory).
The show is produced by Joel Gallen's Tenth Planet Productions. Gallen is also a producer of MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew," which has been renewed for a sixth season.

Like every situation, there are many positives and negatives that can be observed. I had wanted to write this earlier but also wanted to wait, since I did not think it was the proper time to drop something cynical on this blog, when so many people needed feel-good stories to get by. So I have fixed that by combining the "jeers" with some "cheers", so that the article is not overwhelmingly negative. If you have read the previous "Weathering the Storm" articles, than you will know my experiences with relief work have been very rewarding and positive, but there are a few things going on in our area that have slipped through the cracks, as you will see below.
Barack Obama
All posts tagged Barack Obama
Just when bipartisanship seemed dead in America, President Barack Obama and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have shown that it is indeed possible to stand in the middle of the aisle to get things done. Being an independent fed up with both parties, I must say I am impressed with the actions of both leaders. Christie may have been too cautious for Hurricane Irene last year, but this year, you will see that he was spot on. I have not been keeping track of all the updates, but every time I heard him speak on the radio when the power was out, it instilled confidence in me that everything would soon be alright, and progress was being made. His bullyish, no-nonsense attitude may be unappealing to some people, but that is exactly what we need in politics, especially in a time of crisis. He is a take-charge man who tells it like it is, and I applaud him for never dancing around the situation. If I ever did reverse my decision to never vote for a major party candidate for president, should Christie run in 2o16, he very well may be the only Republican I would ever consider voting for. He has called all shots, and the the law and order in this state has been maintained as well as it can be given the circumstances. From trying to stop price gouging to signing the order to start rationing gas tomorrow, there is a sense of calm in an area that has seen much disturbance.
Just because every time I see John Boehner's face I want to punch a wall (the plywood, Sheetrock, and insulation having a higher IQ than our beloved Congress) does not mean he should be the sole recipient of this award. I would list all the names of the people who should be on here, the potpourri of stupidity as I like to call them, but the list is so long that you would stop reading just after a few minutes, you yourself feeling dumber for having inhaled the names of such brilliant minds. I am not going to pretend to be an expert on this debt ceiling debate, because quite frankly, I have no idea what it is about, nor do I want to know. As much as I tell people, mainly young people, that they should keep up with politics, this is one thing that I do not want to waste any of my energy [and anger] on. Why? Because it does not matter. No matter what the outcome of this is, no matter which party's idea they decide to choose, either way, it will still be a way to screw Jack and Jill Taxpayer, which is all our government ever does to begin with.
Government spending is legalized and glorified gambling, our money being the buy in for the chips. We have no say, we have no choice but to accept the results. The politicians responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves, not just the ones of today, but the ones in years' past. Shame on them, and above all, shame on us for voting for them. We, as the people of America, fall for it every time. In every election, we see one candidate as the man who will change things, and even though the previous hundreds of politicians that have promised change have come up empty, we just keep right on going, thinking that things will not be different this time around. Well, when will we learn? What will it take for the people to stand up and say that we will not take it anymore? This is not an attack on Obama, or Reid, or Pelosi, or even Boehner, for that matter. This has to do with everyone—with the two parties who could not agree on the time of day if they both synchronized their watches at the Prime Meridian.
It is horrifying that the people in charge of fighting for our rights—everything from both taxation and tax breaks to healthcare—will never have to worry about any of these things themselves. After all, these people get into office, stay so long they become fossilized in their seats, retire, and then live off their benefits for the rest of their lives. For people who will never have to worry about hospital bills, why should they decide key issues such as universal healthcare? For people who will be fat from government pensions, why should they get to decide social security issues? Mickey Mouse could be president right now for all I care, and the result would still be the same. The government is either complacent or stubborn, depending on the scenario, both resulting in the same complete inaction. I wonder how this is all looking to other countries, because supposedly, we are the greatest country in the world.
That is all I have to say, because to be honest, I am at a loss for words. I thought I would have been more angry writing about such a calamity, but with shock comes anger, and I am not shocked by any of this. That is what is sad about this country, that these two parties pull a stunt like this and nobody even bats an eye, because it is just par for the course. Remember this at election time. Remember this the next time candidates promise change. You will get change, alright, but it will not be for the better.
At the end of the year, this blog is going to have a vote on who the "Idiot of the Year" is, by taking into account all the "Idiot of the Week" winners that I have blogged about. The other nominees are:
Unlike the other cast members of the films Gods and Generals and Gettysburg that I have been able to track down over the last several months, Les Kinsolving is not noted for his acting. Appearing as Confederate General William Barksdale, the distant cousin of the real general, he is more known for his career in the political spectrum, which includes serving as a White House correspondent (part-time now) and talk-radio host on 680 WCBM, which is run out of Baltimore. Les' career has spanned several decades and has encompassed so much, including being nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
When I was done asking him about his filming experience, I just had to probe him on some of his political views, and what being a reporter in our nation's capital is like. Les was very kind to me and answered all of my questions, and I did not even know this interview was going to be taking place when I woke up this morning. I had contacted him a few days ago, and he responded this afternoon. Rather than schedule an interview for the future, we thought it best to just get it done today. I asked him about his filming experience, what it is like being related to a Civil War general (and a second one which will knock your socks off!), and much more, in our interview below!
GC: How did you first get involved with the movie Gettysburg back in 1993?
LK: Well, I have a cousin, the one that I played the part of, General William Barksdale, and I had always been interested in the Civil War, and I heard they were going to do a movie on the battle of Gettysburg. So, I talked to the author of The Killer Angels, Michael Shaara, on the phone and I enjoyed speaking to him very much. He was a very stimulating person and he told me about Ron Maxwell who was going to direct it. I phoned up to Maxwell in New York, and we made an appointment. I did not tell him of my relation to Barksdale, and I talked with him and we had a wonderful time and there was a great deal of mutual interest. It was then when I told him of my relationship to General Barksdale of Mississippi, and he asked, "You're his cousin?" and I responded, "I am." and he said, "You look like him." Then he said, "Just a minute", and he went into this closet and came out after a while with this great big picture of Barksdale. He was the only Confederate general at Gettysburg who did not have a beard or a mustache, and again he told me that I looked like him, and I said, "I'm complimented". He then asked me if I would like the part! (laughs). It took a long time to be produced but I had the part, and I played it again in Gods and Generals, which followed it.
GC: In both films, your scenes were very short, but how much did you have to prepare for these roles?
LK: I had previously been in a considerable number of plays, both little theater and light opera, but this did not take any time at all—I just had a couple of lines in each. I was still honored to have these lines. When I was first cast in Gettysburg, there were no lines and Maxwell waited until my scene came and put in a line for me. General Lee, played by Martin Sheen, says to me, "General Barksdale, is Mississippi ready?" and I said, "Mississippi is ready!". (laughs) And that was it! I just had one or two lines in Gods and Generals as well. But in Gettysburg, I also played an extra as a flag bearer in a Virginia regiment during Pickett's Charge, which took seven days to film.
GC: What was the hardest part of your filming experience?
LK: I think the hardest part was when I was playing this Confederate flag bearer and we went over the wall at the charge, and there were three huge Yankees who went after my flag, and I held it and it broke right in two, and I went down and got kicked; I don't think they did it on purpose, there was just an enormous amount of action. They strapped me up with one of these wrap-around bandages and I was able to go back and do it three or four more times, because we did that scene six times that day.
GC: Did you happen to see the Gettysburg documentary that was on the History Channel last week?
LK: I did not see the whole thing because it came on while I was broadcasting.
GC: Okay, because there was a pretty big section on General Barksdale in it and I was just curious if you had any thoughts on that.
LK: Yes, my son watched it and told me, and I just ran in and took one look and was disgusted because the first thing I saw was that this Barksdale had a beard, and Barksdale did not have a beard at the time of the battle! The picture that I have of him, he does not have one, and I was disgusted at that.
GC: Now, a lot of us Civil War enthusiasts and historians wish we could be related to somebody who fought during the Civil War, so what is it like for you, to not only be related to a soldier, but a prominent general at that?
LK: Well, I am also related to another Confederate soldier named Robert E. Lee, who is a fifth cousin. Robert Duvall, who portrayed Lee in Gods and Generals, was also related to him, and so we found that we were distant cousins.
GC: What it is like being related to one of the greatest generals in military history?
LK: I agree with you, I think he is one of the greatest men in our history, with enormous courage and fundamental decency, and he will always be remembered. Of course, there are those that like to tear him to pieces, but that is expected of those who are still fighting that war.
GC: I would like to move to your other career now, as a White House correspondent. What does that entail?
LK: I am a White House correspondent, but I am not a full-time one anymore because I am a talk radio host and columnist, and I just can't do it full-time, and with this particular press secretary, as well as the last one, who are two of the three most difficult I have ever dealt with, they hardly ever call on me. This one almost refuses me consistently, so I only go once a week. What I do is, I always have two questions, just two. He allows the people in the front two rows from the networks, to ask eight, ten, and twelve questions, but he will try to bypass me. Sometimes I will call out the networks, and sometimes I don't. So what I do is, we report for the nine million people who visit World Net Daily, we list all the people at the briefing and the large majority whom he never recognizes or allows to ask questions because he is playing favorites with the front two rows. I think that is abysmal. I made a suggestion once, which was one of the few times I have ever had applause from the back, that he should call on each person in the front row for two questions and work his way right back so he gives everybody a chance, and then go back to the front row and give them two more. That got applause, but not from the front row (laughs).
GC: I have another question for you, and this is just out of curiosity, but what do you think of Sarah Palin?
LK: To look upon her, I think she is a very beautiful lady, and I realize that she had a lot of problems at home, but I think she really damaged herself by leaving the position of Governor of Alaska. I thought she did a good job out there, but she resigned. Now she is going all over the country campaigning, but she hasn't, to the best of my knowledge, announced her candidacy as yet. I'm generally impressed with a lot of what she stands for, though I do not agree with her on everything…I don't think there is anybody I agree with on everything.
GC: One more political question for you, who would be your favorite president, whether in your lifetime or in the past?
LK: Let me say that I think the greatest of all presidents, closely followed by Abraham Lincoln, was the father of our country, George Washington. I am a great admirer of his and he was not only a military leader that without him, we would have never won our independence, but he was our first president and guided us through the really tough times in getting us established as a country. There are a number who I admire in the modern era as well. I personally liked Ronald Reagan a great deal and I knew him when he was in California because I was a columnist and reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, and then the Examiner, while he was governor. There were times when I would ask him questions and he was always very astute and very amusing. I thought he was a great president, and there were others of course. The Roosevelt's were two of the greatest and let me see who else…we have had some bad ones (laughs).
GC: Well, then who would be the worst president of your lifetime?
LK: That would be a tie between Jimmy Carter and the one we've got now (laughs).
GC: Thanks for being honest! I'm an independent so I don't care who you don't like.
LK: It's not that I don't like Barack Obama, it's just that he has these press conferences where there are eighty reporters (I've stopped going to his press conferences) and they're ridiculous. He'll only call on certain ones. In the last three he called on thirteen, thirteen, and seven. He takes an enormous amount of time in answering questions—he gives these long monologues, and it sounds like he is dodging questions with these long answers, and he does this often. That is one of the reasons why I am not very impressed with him. There are times when I have commended him, and I think his order to go after Bin Laden was wonderful, but I think Bush had the same purpose. If they had just found him earlier under Bush, like the Seals did, I think he would have given the same order. I will try to be fair with the president whenever he says or does something that I believe honestly is good. I feel that it is only fair that you should try to emphasize that, and I do.
GC: One last question for you, and this is going back to the Civil War. If there is one piece of information that you think is being taught the most incorrectly about it, what would that be to you?
LK: I would say the alleged massacre at Fort Pillow, where they try to smear [Confederate General] Nathan Bedford Forrest. I have really studied that issue, and I have concluded and spoken out on this a number of times that it was not true. I think there are a lot of things that are misrepresented, but that is one of the worst. I hope that answers your question.
GC: Yes, it is definitely up there on my list. That, and people who say the war was fought solely because of slavery.
LK: Well, the interesting thing about the slavery issue, which is not often mentioned (laughs), is that among the slaveholders in the United States were Ulysses S. Grant and Mrs. Grant.
GC: And I don't think Robert E. Lee owned any.
LK: His wife, Mary Custis, had a number of slaves, and he emancipated them. Grant, who was too poor to keep slaves, sold them, but Mrs. Grant continued to own them, and I think it was in 1864, she was almost captured by Confederate cavalry with her slaves! (laughs) I have no indication that the Grant's ever mistreated their slaves, and I do not believe that the Lee's did either. I have always been opposed to slavery, even though I am a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and I was one of the 25,000 who walked in the last day of the Selma March to Montgomery, because I believe new occasions teach new duties, and time makes ancient good uncouth.
GC: I want to thank you so much for this interview. It was great getting a chance to speak to you.
LK: It was my pleasure, and I hope that this gave you everything you needed, and I am grateful and honored.
I want to thank Les again for taking the time to conduct this interview. It truly was an enlightening experience! You can visit his official website here. Please check out my other interviews with Gods and Generals and Gettysburg personnel, located in the Civil War section on this site, which include Brian Mallon (General Hancock), Patrick Gorman (General Hood), Bo Brinkman (Major Taylor), and Jeff Shaara (Author of G & G).
I originally published this yesterday, but took it down because of the sensitive subject this is. After sending it to a few people, they convinced me to put it back up. I have made some edits, including the final paragraph which is newly added.
Sunday night it was announced on national television that the most wanted man in the world, Osama Bin Laden, had been killed by American forces, after being sought after for nearly ten years, since the 9/11 attacks. When everyone else screamed, "Woohoo!", I said, "This is news?". Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 2005, or maybe even earlier than that. The man with Kidney disease and a slew of other ailments who orchestrated massive terror plots around the world while wrapped in towels in a cave is finally dead. Personally, I thought he died years ago and it was just never released because we needed to keep the war going. As you have read on this blog, convenient events seem to happen that drive countries, namely the United States, to war. We needed Bin Laden all these years to have our little war, George W. Bush's Holy Crusade, and now that it is finally reaching the height of its unpopularity, with whispers of our troops pulling out after nearly a decade of seeing our men and women killed so we can have
oil freedom, the man who caused all that needs to take an eternal nap.
This is not a conspiracy, folks, it is just another C-word: convenience. The United States has the most powerful intelligence and defense system on the planet—they probably know what I ate for breakfast this morning. I will leave my thoughts on the September 11th attacks alone, so you mean to tell me they could not find him all this time? How many thousands of people did we send into the desert looking for a man who was hold up in a mansion just a hundred miles outside of Pakistan's capital? The US knew what they were in for, and still thought that an all-out war was the only way. How come, ten years ago, we couldn't put together an elite team and send them looking? And more than ten years before that, we could have thanked Bin Laden for causing the fall of the Soviet Union, who saw their economy collapse and run out of money because they were chasing him all over Afghanistan.
To quell the idea that people may be thinking I am not happy about this, I will tell you that I am thrilled. The man who was involved in the attacks that brought down where my father used to work is dead—an icon of religious fanaticism. Let me be more specific: I am happy that he is dead, I am just not happy with how he came to die because it all fits into the storyline above. We need to start a war, so we go looking for someone evil. We need to keep the war going so we build up how hard it is to find him, and call for more troops. We need to end the war, so we kill him. Bin Laden dying in a shootout with US Navy Seals after we sent tens of thousands of soldiers scouring the desert for him is nothing less than our leaders (and I don't mean generals) turning a blind eye. Bin Laden was right where he was supposed to be at the right time—perhaps we knew all along, but the American people are sheep who can be made to believe damn near everything.
On a more positive note, how thrilling is it to see the Democratic Obama administration get credit for the kill and not the war-mongering Bush Republicans? It is those same people who should be put on trial for war crimes that do not get to relish at the culmination of the campaign they started, which got the ball rolling to send 10,000 men and women to their deaths or life-long disability so that this day would come. The speech Sunday night by our president was nothing short of perfect. There was plenty of "I did…" and "I authorized" used, singling him out as the one who will get credit. There was only one mention of President Bush, and it was not in any context that people could think about wanting to give him credit too. My only question is, why release this information now? Had they waited closer to election time, the Republicans could have basically thrown their arms up in the air and said, "Just take it." Instead it comes out now, and their must be a reason. The next few days and weeks should tell us what. I believe that Obama will now be reelected anyway. After all, how could he not? One of the most hated men in world history died under his watch? How can the Republicans attack that? Who has anything better than that to put on their resume? The party that started this war could not even finish it—that's the irony.
So yes friends, these should be joyous days, despite my skepticism. Should the War on Terror finally come to an end because of this, then perhaps it was worth it. But until then, I will not be fully happy, not until all our soldiers come home, and this war in the Middle East is truly over.
EDIT: It has now been revealed that Bin Laden's body has been buried at sea, in accordance with Muslim tradition (within 24 hours after death). While I have absolutely no problem with respecting their religion, was putting him out to sea really the best idea? The general public will now never get a chance to see the body, because it is doubtful that anything other than a blurry and obscured shot will be released. And people wonder why there are conspiracy theories…
Normally, this goes at the end of my "Week in Review" article that gets published on Sunday nights, but since my week has been filled with so many wonderful things that trump this one (no pun intended), I figured I would just throw out my nomination tonight. Drum-roll please….this week's ultimate idiot goes to none other than Donald Trump, after President Obama finally released his birth certificate to shut up the egotistical 2012 presidential hopeful. As I said in my manifesto on politics last week, I do not favor one party over the other, but you have to admit, this move by Obama (including his follow-up speech) was nothing short of brilliant in making the "birther" contingent of the Republican Party look like a bunch of fools.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be defending Barack Obama, a president who I vehemently did not want in office last election, but after these last few weeks, I have grown to respect the man little by little. Not to say that I would vote for him in 2012, because as I stated last time, I am done with partisan politics, but I admire how he handled the situation. Had it been me that was being attacked (but I'm white and my name is Greg, so I wouldn't have been), I would have said, "Screw you. You're not getting it." which was pretty much what happened in the last month or so. One would have thought that Trump's holy crusade would have faded away, but instead, it only grew. He made speeches, appeared on television and radio, unleashing a furor of barbaric absurdity trying to convince people that Obama was not an American citizen. The main reason for this being that no one had ever seen his birth certificate.
When has any other politician been asked to show it? To be honest, I really do not understand Trump's angle at all. Call me naive, but I am 19 years old and have only seen my certificate once, when I got my driver's license and needed to show six points of identification. I've been best friends with someone since I was four years old, and have never seen his. I also do not know of anyone who carries it around with them in their violin case. This was just Trump and the fringe-conservatives trying to grab whatever little shred of a possibility they could find. There was never any proof of their preposterous claim, so they jumped at this dismal opportunity.
Finally, after months of this nonsense, Obama released it yesterday. It truly was a sad day for America, because this whole situation is testament to how dumb we really are as a country. Then again, half the people here still think he is a Muslim.
Back to Trump, what did he really accomplish here? We have soldiers dying in the Middle East every day, an economy in the crapper, gas approaching $4 a gallon, and you're worried about a piece of paper, Donald? Have you nothing better to do with your life, one that you remind us every chance you get at how successful it is? This was all nothing but a frenzy stirred by racial unease, I am convinced. If Obama was white, this would not have happened. If Obama's name was not one letter removed from Snapple investor Osama Bin Laden, this would not have happened.
This country is an absolute disgrace, because we put on this charade in front of the entire world, and Trump is partially to blame. Say goodbye to your chances at the presidency in 2012, if you were even going to run in the first place. Jesse Ventura is right: Donald Trump, you are nothing but an attention whore. Donald Trump, you are an idiot.
Many experts are predicting that the price of a gallon of gas will skyrocket to around $5 this summer. This will leave many citizens wanting to cancel vacations and trips to relatives because they do not want to shell out a hundred dollars at the gas pump. Because the United States is obviously running low on oil, since we have no reserves of our own and currently occupy no foreign nations illegally which we could steal from them, I propose this two-year plan which will help keep gas at under or around $3 a gallon, an average which it is currently holding.
June 1, 2011: Without informing the elected government of the US, the shadow government comes up with a plan to invade the Kingdom of Wakawakaland, because of the country's newly found oil reserves. Wakawakaland is a small, terrorist laden country whose tourist slogan bills them as being "Somewhere in the Glorious Middle East". Because the population is so small, and they have no national army, they become an easy target.
June 5, 2011: The shadow government contacts leaders of a terrorist force of Wakawakalians to have them attack the United States so that we can, in turn, launch an invasion of their country. The sacrificial lamb will be Joe Biden.
July 4, 2011: After giving a twelve-hour speech on the importance of democracy, Joe Biden leaves a conference in Wakawakaland to go to the airport so he can return home. On the way, his motorcade is attacked by terrorists armed with water pistols. Following the aftermath of such a serious attack, the official report reads as follows: Casualties: 0, Damage: Clean windshield.
July 4, 2011: When news reaches back home that Biden is unharmed, Barack Obama does an epic facepalm, and the severity of such an attack on the United States of America is broadcast on the news day and night. Obama announces that we will "get revenge" on the terrorist faction. Those not on his side are labeled as "Un-American" and "Cowards".
July 5, 2011: The army is put on full alert while congress scrambles to come up with a declaration of war. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton now announces to the world that Wakawakaland is "chock full" of weapons of mass destruction, consisting of Nerf apparel and a Gatling water gun. She prepares a massive poster-board map of the country, spanning 25 feet by 10 feet, and stands on a podium holding a meter-stick, where she then points out a three millimeter wide speck in the bottom left-hand corner of the board, and states that the weapons of mass destruction are housed there.
July 6, 2011: The declaration of war is drawn up by congress. The only two senators who voted against it die in a plane crash in the middle of the Northwestern wilderness a year later.
July 10, 2011: While addressing the media on national television, Obama is asked, "Aren't we overreacting?" to which the president responds with, "Why do you hate freedom?"
July 15, 2011: A government mandate stating that all those who own water pistols will be subject to wiretap and questioning. Five hundred first-graders are rounded up and held in prisons under treason charges. Guards pace up and down the interrogation rooms yelling, "What do you have against democracy?"
July 16, 2011: Barack Obama's hair turns gray.
July 17, 2011: John Boehner cries.
July 26, 2011: Sarah Palin announces plans to take her TEA Party supporters on a private invasion of Wakawakaland. Because the government feels she is leading a private army and not a militia, she responds with, "Well, Dick Cheney did it." She is detained for another four days. When she agrees to change the name of her army to Blackwater: The Sequel, they release her from prison and she is allowed to invade.
July 28, 2011: Halliburton officials are sent to Wakawakaland to guard oil wells before the invasion. A George W. Bush look-alike was seen hiding in the back of the lead truck.
July 30, 2011: Nancy Pelosi is attacked on the capital steps, also with a water-gun. She sustains no injuries except her makeup running off, revealing that she is actually a 75-year-old man named Steve.
August 1, 2011: The last pre-invasion plans are carried out to evacuate all the women in Wakawakaland. Bill Clinton volunteers to lead the rescue mission.
August 2, 2011: The invasion commences, as the United States drops fifteen trillion tons of bombs on the twenty-square mile wide country. They then drop baskets of food and water to those still alive.
August 3, 2011: The terrorist leader of Wakawakaland, Sheik Rick al-Dipietroziz goes into hiding in the country's massive underground cave system. Though he has Kidney disease, asthma, diabetes, cancer, and Mesothelioma, he will survive for another twenty years, and never be captured by the United States.
August 4, 2011: Because the US realizes they will never capture DiPietroziz, they invade the neighboring country and execute their leader instead.
August 5, 2011: Sarah Palin and her contingent arrive in the jungles of Wakawakaland armed with M-16's. They then realize that there are no jungles in Wakawakaland, and that they are actually on the wrong continent. A befuddled Palin breaks down and cries, saying that she cannot see Wakawakaland from her back yard.
August 6, 2011: Barack Obama's hair turns white.
August 8, 2011: A navy destroyer arrives in Wakawakaland's largest harbor, where the president announces that the mission has been accomplished.
August 30, 2011: A full investigation on the attack of vice president Biden is launched. It is created by the "House of Un-American Water Pistol Activity Commission".
September 1, 2011: Joe Biden volunteers to chair the commission. When asked to state his name for the record, he speaks for twenty-five minutes.
September 20, 2011: The commission returns to session after a twenty day adjournment to absorb the chilling testimony given by Biden on the opening day. Monster Energy donates a thousand large cans to the commission members to help them concentrate when Biden talks.
September 25, 2011: John Boehner attacks Biden with his gavel. No one saw it.
November 1, 2011: Trillions of gallons of oil are finally being pumped out of Wakawakaland and sent to refineries in the United States.
November 2, 2011: Sarah Palin announces on Piers Morgan Tonight that she will be running for president in 2012. Morgan then has to be sedated and carried out on a stretcher live on the air after he laughs so hard he cannot breathe properly.
November 30, 2011: A troop of Wakawakalians attack the oil wells occupied by the Americans.
December 1, 2011: Barack Obama no longer has hair.
December 15, 2011: A constitutional amendment is ratified by a unanimous vote to stitch Joe Biden's mouth shut. Simultaneously, Sarah Palin is placed under house arrest for "crimes against intelligence."
July 4, 2012: A ceremony commemorating the terrorist attack takes place in Washington. At the end of his speech, Obama introduces Biden as the next speaker, but then pulls out a sign that reads, "LOL JK".
October 10, 2012: Amidst the debates for the coming election, gas prices conveniently trickle down to $2.95 a gallon.
November 6, 2012: The election takes place, and though Palin is still under house arrest, she nonetheless emerged as the top Republican candidate. Obama wins by a landslide vote of 535 electoral votes to 3.
December 21, 2012: The world doesn't end.

Brandon Semenuk Earns Second Crankworx Joyride Victory
It's a Tricky Course
6 / 9
California's Mike Montgomery is known for his innovative tricks, and finished second here in 2010. This year, he won Teva's Best Trick contest at Crankworx with a backflip barhop to tailwhip. It was the first time he'd landed the move in competition and expectations were high headed into the Joyride slopestyle. But Montgomery had missteps in both his runs, keeping him out of contention.

I guess those kitties can't haz cheezburger.
"the bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began...there was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of a bus to never-ever land."
Last time I watched anything to do with animals, somehow I ended up watching people get tazered and pepper sprayed. Those related links... they get you everytime. Bastids.
That little calf is my icon now...he got abducted by lions, attacked by a huge croc, and still made it!
After all I've been through the past few months, that was a real inspiration. Thanks.
Oh, and that bull was PISSED! I wonder if he was the sire.

I was cheering for the crocodile.
Little walk on part like that, no speaking lines, probably got Equity minimum. Chewed on the scenery a bit, sure, but damn, still gots the chops.
They told me to wear more lycra, and I said "no, no, no."
That little buffalo is going to grow up to be the king of his herd and lead them to the grassiest parts of the savannah. Fear is obviously not a factor for him!
awesome video!!!
You know why this video is so cool? Because it was shot by a Texan!
I really wonder how badly wounded the calf was? I think that though he got away, he had to be pretty badly torn up by the croc and lion bites. I do not think that his long term survival chances were very good.

those lions should just be vegetarian because grass and plants are lots easier to catch.

You have just created an opening for cruel Rosie O'Donnell jokes...but I refuse to take the bait.
Actual answer:
Cape Buffalo: 925-2000 pounds (425-900 kg)
African Lion: 330-550 pounds (150-250 kg)
African Crocodile: 2000 pounds! (908 kg)
I can see how it took 4-5 lions to wrestle calf away from the crocodile and it still took a lot of effort.
But yeah, a charging buffallo at a lion is like a SUV vs. a motorbike. No contest.

"That's what she said": At the Trough
It's 5:15 p.m. In other words, dinner time! Terrace Dining Room (TDR) is AU's dining hall. Beloved by some, reviled by more, tolerated by all. On the menu tonight is the average array of soul food (African pork roast, wtf?), vegan legume-based side dishes and the all-you-can-eat ice cream bar. Substitutions: grilled cheese instead of chicken at the "American Grill" station.
With only one unfried-entree dining option (who want's an Einstein bagel for dinner?) open to students, the likelihood of bumping into last week's hook-up is well above average. But, bent forks and fiestaware aside, the atmosphere is communal – all the students descending on the salad bar and carving station between 5 and 8 p.m., all of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity bursting into "I Want It That Way" at 5:30 p.m. on the dot. The atmosphere is comfortable, familiar. Which means, fraternizing with friends in a comfort food coma, people will say the darndest things.
5:41 p.m. "I don't wanna smell your cheap cologne while I'm trying to eat, Eurotrash."
5:55 Girl waiting in line for stir fry – "This is just a shit TDR night."
5:57 "Once you poop yourself, I'm gonna wipe it all over you!"
6:05 "Chocolate bread! Chocolate bread! Yeeeaaaaah, WHAT!?"
6:15 "Are you gonna, like, spoonfeed her?"
6:18 "He reeked of alcohol. He was passing out in my bed! Like, why would someone do that? He doesn't appreciate me."
6:29 Dude #1, "So what's good?" Dude #2, "Nothing." #1, "No, that's just TDR."
6:30 "I'll catch it in my mouth! Dude, I swear, I'll catch it in my mouth! Throw it, like a Frisbee. LIKE A FRIS- Ow!"
6:33 "If I'm not mistaken, that's Rudy's favorite sauce!"
6:36 "Hey, go find a girl to make-out with. You cheat on your girlfriend, you sack of shit!... HOME. WRECKER."
6:42 "I just don't feel like girls get on each other like guys do."
6:50 "Have you ever watched The Land Before Time? You'd be Petrie! You definitely would...So what's the little duck? No you're Petrie, you really are. You're Petrie."
6:59 "Moment of truth – African pork... Mmm."
6:59 "It's black people. Black people at American."
7:00 [From the Petrie gallery] "I'm still debating the dinosaur question."
7:02 "I just spilled fruit punch on my crotch. Awesome..." [Drinks some punch.] "And the fruit punch is fuckin' warm, too. What the fuck."
