Enter The Return Of The Son Of The Jackie Chan Film Festival

Way back in the depths of history, I decided to finally plow through my nearly complete collection of Jackie Chan DVDs. So I scheduled my own personal Jackie Chan Film Festival, and I've been posting my reviews of the films as I go. I got off to a pretty good start, but things stalled out a couple of months ago. Now, I'm going to try to resume the viewing and reviewing.

But first, a recap - here are all of the Jackie Chan films I've reviewed so far, in chronological order:

Those Boardrooms Are Pretty Kinky Places

This Explains A Lot

Current status: sitting in corner, twitching nervously, wishing I could unsee this...



I'm not sure what's more embarassing - this video, the fact that they then went on to lose to K-State by 48 points, or their inevitable upcoming loss to Baylor.

Next time the Horns get me down (and I'm looking at you, Greg Davis), I'll just try to remember - it can always be worse. Much worse.

Only Chuck Norris Need Apply

I don't specifically go trolling for amusing Craigslist posts, but I did come across one for a set of branding irons - only real men allowed:

If you don’t have any cattle that need branding, I suppose you could still purchase these irons… but I might charge you more. You could use one as a poker for the store bought logs in your fire pit in your back yard. They might also go well with your Corinthian Leather couch in the family room of your cookie cutter suburban home. What you might also do is hang one of these babies on the wall of your kitchen above the microwave. Then, while your fat, pencil pushing fingers are mashing buttons to heat up your supper, you can gaze upon the working instruments of real men and ponder the true origin of meat in your chili cheese dog.

Mmmmm...chili cheese dog...

Productivity Redefined

Another meeting where the first twenty minutes are spent screwing around with LiveMeeting....

Joining The 21st Century

Just testing an app to post to my blog from my iPod touch. Better than waiting for this meeting to start...

Almost No Excuses Left

Number 2 OU - loss
Number 5 Oklahoma St. - loss
Number 3 USC - loss
Number 8 Ohio State - loss

and now...

Number 4 Ole Miss - loss

Texas may not be looking great so far, but at least most everything else is going their way.
