Welcome to the Lane Kiffin Show! Wild Boyz!

So thanks to EDSBS for turning me on to the Lane Kiffin Show. Which is a 3-D animated bit of awesomeness created with Xtra Normal. It's a free site where you can pick characters and write dialogue for them. Then you click on process and out comes your animated movie. Below I've included Lane's interview with Urban Meyer. I also really enjoyed the Rodney Garner and Mark Richt interviews. I also decided to waste an hour recreating one of my favorite scenes from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. So I've included my reenactment of the "I'm a Rebel" speech and then the actual clip.

You're telling me



It shone like a beacon
peaking over the ridge
a concrete palace
gracing Cheshire Bridge

Past sex shops and strip clubs
and beggars I sped
Was it just as terrific
as the dreams in my head?

Have a glorious martini
as you oogle our gin.
Try Bombay and Hendrick's
and try it again

Barrels of whiskey
and gallons of rye
tonic and vodka
rain from the sky

Glenlivet, Glenfiddich,
Johnnie so blue,
Have a bottle of Bowmore
no make that two

No need for cash discounts
because everything's free
a shot of Patron
and a Dos Equis for me

Well Played Wal Mart. Well Played

An entrepreneurial tip of the hat to the Wal Mart on Howell Mill. They have apparently gotten rid of the hand baskets, leaving only shopping carts if you need to buy more than you carry. Which makes it seem like you are wasting your time when you only have 4-5 products in your cart. This is the most brilliant (and annoying) move I've heard of since I found out the Books-a-Million bathroom policy. They intentionally don't have any signage in the store for the bathrooms so that you have to ask an employee where they are. They did some study and figured out that employee customer interaction of any kind lead to an increase in sales. So anyway, congrats Wal Mart on convincing me to get that 12 pack of beer so my cereal and socks wouldn't be lonely in the cart.
