The first trailer for the Coen Brothers remake of True Grit is out and I'll admit that it looks alright. Of course Vince Mancini at Filmdrunk says it best I suppose "If you’re not excited about this movie, you are communist and I hate you."

MCW - I hope this isn't too short of notice.
Hello loyals readers. Returned from the gret state of North Dakota late Wednesday night, had a golf/birthday outting on Thursday, a golf tourney Friday, MSU football and a concert in Billings Saturday and actually spent Sunday cleaning the garage, getting stuff ready for the snow to fly. Totally forgot to post a theme for MCW and thought I'd try a little different twist.
Instead of posting a clip of something you've seen, post one of something you haven't seen.
That's the theme for this week. "Famous/Popular movie I haven't seen but really should before I die because everyone tell's me it's great."

Just a couple thoughts and Bobcat pregame.
So yesterday I took my great friend EJ golfing for his birthday. Long story short, he got me on a scramble team for the annual Sonny Holland Classic at Valley View Golf Club. The irony is that I played on a team of guys who sit right behind me at Bobcat home games. We took second. It was a great day. Like EJ says "you only have to know one guy and that guy is me." True words.
So I'm whipped. Spent the night at EJ's house. He cooked a great steak. I spent most of the evening playing with his soon to be two-year-old daughter. Drank some Crown and red wine and took advantage of his guest room. 5Wood made it as well. Played the back nine with us and partook in the festivities.
Here are a couple of thoughts.

Random Thoughts #22
After a 13 1/2 hour day which did include a couple of good leads and a 520 mile stint behind the wheel, I'm safe and sound here at COTR headquarters. No work for the rest of the week. I've poured myself a nice glass of Crown Black and think some blogging is in order.
Sad news from the Center of the Universe. An early morning fire broke out in Malta and took out a building on Front Street destroying five businesses. As of this writing, there are no reports of injury which of course is great. The building can be replaced but the lives affected makes my heart heavy. Saddest of all is that the building housed the local weekly paper, the Phillips County News. I'm very saddened at the fact that over 100 years of archives were probably lost. It's Malta. While I'm sure that many years are on disc or stored electronically somewhere, I have no doubts that many original copies of the PCN are gone forever. I'll update more when I have more information.
Things that crossed my mind while wondering how the Bobcats will stop Taiwan Jones this weekend.
When GW passed the tax cuts in 2003, liberals complained that they only benefitted the rich. Now we see that everyone got a tax cut and that if these cuts expire, people making $50,000.00 a year will see their taxes go up $2,900.00 annually. That's $241.66 that will come out of their paychecks every month. I guess to the liberals, a family making 50k a year is rich.
I need to get all the gibberish on my digital recorder put into writing. I have the history of the first seven LBOH's recorded. Trouble is that I don't have any more room until I have them transcribed. Biggest problem is that when I'm driving down the road I have great random thoughts and when I sit down at my computer I can't remember any of them. It sucks getting old.

MCW - Holiday week.
I hate to do this but I have bills to pay. I have to head to beautiful Williston, ND. While the rest of you are enjoying your Sunday, I'll be in the grizwagon headed east. Won't be back till Thursday. Take the week off from MCW. I'll be back next week with a good theme.
I wish someone would hurry the hell up and find me a rich woman who likes to golf so I could quit my job.

Tomorrow is Bobcat Victory Day.
So last week I almost had a cincofecta. Malta won, crushing defending state champion Huntley Project 27-18 with 354 rushing yards. Notre Dame losing to Michigan. Two hapless teams trying to be .500 this year. Bama "rolling" over Joe "I dont know what the fuck is even going on anymore" Paterno and Penn State. The minions of hell from Missoula losing to my Cal Poly Mustangs. I'm 4 for 4.
Then the Cats let me down. Not really. They played a D-I school to the wire. They led in every category. Some questionable play calling at the end cost the game. We could have and should have won. This team,and our quarterback, are fucking awesome. I said earlier that our season begins next week with Eastern Washington. I have no doubt that the Bobcats are going to PUNISH Drake tomorrow. Then, bring on EWU who have the grizzlies.
Cats 40 The Drake 10.
The frizzlies lost to my Cal Poly Mustangs. Maybe this offense isn't that great. griz fans have been bragging about how good their defense will be. "We'll shut out at LEAST seven team this year. Well maybe if your offense doesn't suck. This is a good griz team. Make no mistakes. CP is good as well. Coach Fluff has instilled Don Read's offense without the talent so we will see how far that takes them. Let's not forget that the year that Read won his only national championship, his defense was the best in the nation. Right now, they aren't the best in the conference. That can change. I've said before, the griz have a mystique. They know how to win. They are going to have a tough game in Cheney tomorrow but I don't count them out. I'm rooting for the Eagles all the way mind you. I hope it's a bruiser because we have EDub next week.
Malta rolls, The Tide rolls as well. The slow, trudging Irish drunks win.
That's it for now.
