A different sort of madness: Via some folks in the LG&M comments, it <a href="http://darkdungeonsthemovie.com/#updates"appears that someone is making a movie out of a Jack Chick tract. And not just any tract, it’s the infamous “Dungeons and Dragons will lead you to practice Satanic witchcraft” classic from the 80s. And they seem to be playing it straight.
From the FAQ:

Ha. I started the day by driving up the Clemson for an 11am tipoff with my Illini. We lost by 1 after being way down but I had a good time. I couldn’t believe they drew 10,000 for an NIT game on a Sunday morning! The Shocker’s drawing Kentucky in the second round sucked but that’s the luck of the DRAW! Hope the Clones can pull it out and it looks like Mercer will come down to earth. On the upside I won a bunch of money in the calcutta by buying American U and them being the biggest loser in the first round.

I wish Kurt Cobain hadn’t killed himself. What a great writer, musician, singer.

Spent most of the weekend fighting off yet another frickin’ migraine. I really need to get that referral to an allergist from my PCP so I can figure out what I’m allergic to.
(I suspect one of the things may be dust, which the spouse will NEVER let me live down.)

Sure am glad I waited all day for a hoop thread.

@dmsilev: jesusjosephmarymohamedbuddhaandvishnu that is some weapons grade stupidity there.

I have a first world problem of the highest order. I have an iPod Nano (Fifth Generation) that I use exclusively in my car. A few years ago I scanned my CD collection into iTunes on my laptop. I would listen to those mainly in my office. When I got the iPod, I copied all of the CDs there. So far so good. Now, I also bought a few albums from the iTunes store and put those onto the iPod. I noticed that when those songs play, I can see the album artwork on the display screen in the car. One night I used iTunes to download artwork for my old CDs. At least half of them have artwork. I synched the iPod, but for some reason the artwork only shows up for the songs I bought on iTunes. I poked around google, but did not really find anything useful. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Life will go on just fine for me if I don’t solve this “problem”, but I would be interested to see if there is a simple fix.

@raven: I just pulled back my non-sports Open Thread post, for courtesy. So if you wanna wait 40 minutes, you and the other b-ball fans can come & talk sports up there.
Commentors. Talk about cat-herding… :)

@dmsilev: When my kid was 10, I sent him to day camp at a community college, and one activity he could sign up for was RPG. The camp called me and wanted to be sure I knew it wasn’t some sort of play acting therapy, but rather was D&D and that I was ok with it. At the time, I thought that was one of the weirder calls I’d ever had.
raven
@Anne Laurie: I don’t think anyone gives a shit. Let it ride.
When I was 19 mothefuckers were shooting RPG’s at us.

@SiubhanDuinne: This is the cobwebbiest house I’ve ever lived in, although I very rarely see an actual spider. Anyway, on 1 October I stop sweeping away cobwebs, and by Halloween I have a pretty good display of the most realistic cobwebs you ever saw.
Before I go to bed on Halliween night I put the long hose on the vacuum cleaner and vacuum up all those (real) cobwebs, and the place always seems sort of bare and dejected.

I think the weapon of choice for suicidal people is a gun of some kind, and not a rocket-propelled grenade. The former are much easier to get compared to the latter.

OT James Rebhorn, a character died on Friday and may he rest in peace. It will be interesting to see how Homeland handles this since he was suppose to care for Carey’s baby.
@raven: Friends are big Clemson fans and I was told about the crowd. They also were selling adult tickets at ten dollars each and children tickets at four. Mr. Clemson fan mentioned that the families who were able to attend had a great time.
Pogonip
And I would really like to know why fvcking Steve Jobs’s minions are always trying to change my words–wanted to change “cobwebbiest” to “cobweb jest,” for example–but when I make an honest-to-God typo in “Halloween,” it sails right through.

Anyone else survive MegaCon this weekend?

Turn that frown upside down, it’s good for you:
raven
@JPL: It really was fun. Some guy in front of me at the ticket line was beggin for a senior discount! Jesus, $10 and he want a discount. This is where I sat for a sawbuck!
Pogonip
@dmsilev: Well, at least it takes place in a monozombistic world. So it has that going for it.
JPL
@raven: Nice! Although your team lost, I’m pleased that it was a good game. Clemson has a beautiful campus.

How long does it take to see if there is any time left on the clock.. ugh

Not ONE Indiana team in the NCAA men’s tournament.
We are doomed.

Iowa State beats the Heels! The craziest finish EVER!

@raven: The Tar Heels were robbed
raven
@IowaOldLady: It was incredible. Iowa’s State’s best player broke his foot Friday night.
raven
@Jeff( the other one): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH> And the Illini were robbed when May fucking fouled the shit out of us in the National Championship. Tough fucking shit.

WTF? They’re calling “Christian apologist” C. S. Lewis a Satan-worshipper?

I know. I haven’t gotten over it yet.

@NeenerNeener: I’m sure he was the wrong sort of Christian.

I took U of A all the way to the win. Got blown out in the south because Syracuse and Midwest because Wichita state. Final for me Michigan state and Arizona. We will see. I haven’t filled out a bracket in at least 10 years. Kinda fun again

3 of the top 4 teams I want to see go out of the tournament are now going home.
Duke, UNC and Kansas are dust. Another will go out for sure next week since
Louisville and Kentucky play each other. Now if someone would take down Florida.
I would be a happy man.
In the women’s tournament, the refs put the screws to Tennessee-Martin to keep UNC
going. I am sure we will have a UConn vs Notre Dame final like ESPN wants. The
NCAA won’t let anything else happen.

I waltzed into a sports open thread a week ago to say that nephew’s team was in NCAA div 2 western region sweet 16. On St pat’s day! the ONLY college men’s basketball game being played was that one. They won (in impossible fashion, almost, but ‘just keep playing’ for improbable come from behind wins ) to gave them the western region title and on Wednesday they play in the Elite eight in Indiana.
Wednesday night. go Chico State!!!!!!!

@Paul in KY:
Painfully, I will admit the Calipari has them resembling a team at the right time. Equally painfully, I will have to root for Rick Pricktino and the Cards. Now if someone would knock off the Gators.
