Further signs of the end of the world

This one is going to have Pep struggling with the fundamental injustice of the cosmos.

Since I know Pep has a thing for natural disaster films, I'm anxiously awaiting his review of the latest sweeps-week end of the world tee-vee event. Can it top the earthquake bagizmo flick starring one of the Bridges brothers as the president (the fat one, not the cool one). This one has Randy Quaid in it, so you know its quality right there: Randy Quaid is to the tee-vee movie what Kurt Russell is to the big screen---guaranteed suckage but in whole new ways.

Speaking of the brothers Quaid, our campus' Environmental Studies Group is hosting a film night featuring that Al Gore weather porn laugher "The Day After Tomorrow," replete with spiffy posters. After class, I'm going to put up a poster for the "Political Science Studies Group" advertising "The Planet of the Apes" replete with a breathy discussion of how we can best prepare politically and economically for the impending take over our Simian overlords.

The contact line will be for "Dr. Zaius" but I'm such a geezer that no one will get it.

UPDATE: Pep checks in in the comments section, but it was so priceless that I needed to quote it all. This, ladies and gents, is why a complete day on campus is not, well, umm, complete without a visit by the library.

Chairista was taking notes last night. That Doherty girl from 90210 is in it, and I kid you not, she plays a rocket scientist--a pouty, slutty, drunken rocket scientist! She hangs out with (and, no doubt, soon on) Randy Quaid.

It was great for laughs, but apparently the producers stole some video footage from some storm chasers, who are all up in arms and ready to core punch the suck zone with some massive lawsuit rueage.

"The mesosphere is falling!" That's just priceless. And yes, I saw the posters for the on-campus showing, by the Environmental Club, of "The Day After Tomorrow."

And now I go into the penalty box, and I feel shame.

So there's Pep in his glory. That, and I wanted to get "pouty, slutty, drunken rocket scientist" into our Google slime-bombing efforts.

We'll keep a watch here for our progress to be the internet's number one site for all things "pouty, slutty, drunken rocket scientists."

Yips! from Robbo: It's the extreme, baby! I could bow down before Pip for his LOL Twister references - Oh, manly hand-shaking Zeus!

Shannen Doherty is a rocket scientist? That's the funniest cinematic joke since Denise Richards played a pouty, slutty, drunken nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough. She gave the impression she'd trip over a two-syllable word if she didn't give it her undivided attention--but man, those gazongas!

Apparently Hollywood is hip to the fact that "publish or perish" don't mean a thing if it ain't got that sch-winngg.
