My conspiracy theory: With Masset pitching today and Buehrle being skipped... The next time that they need a 5th SP/BP guy, they'll retroactively DL Buehrle and bring up Broadway for a few days.

It was around the time that people would have been heading to the Sox game today.

I recommend The Money Pit, Big, and The 'Burbs. Tom Hanks does screwball comedy very well.

Go through your add/remove programs, see if any program looks suspicious. If one does, do a Google search on the name and see what people say about it. I had a program named WinTools one time and it was popup spyware disguised as a Windows program.

TOGA! TOGA! 1. National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) (12 of 23 lists - 177 points - highest ranking #2 Controlled Chaos) National Lampoon's Animal House is a 1978 comedy film in which a misfit group of fraternity boys take on the system at their college. The movie was adapted by Douglas Kenney, Christopher Miller and Harold Ramis from stories written by Miller based on his experiences in the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity at Dartmouth College, Ramis's experiences in the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity at Washington University in St. Louis, and published in National Lampoon magazine. The film was directed by John Landis. It is considered to be the movie that launched the gross-out genre[1] (although it was predated by several films now also included in the genre). It is Rush Week 1962 at fictional Faber College in Pennsylvania. Vietnam, the Sexual Revolution and the counterculture movement are not even blips on the horizon. A 1950s mentality still pervades the campus, typified by the Omegas—the most prestigious, elitist fraternity. At the other end of the spectrum (but right next door) stands the Delta Tau Chi House, a repository for campus misfits. Two freshmen, Larry Kroger (Thomas Hulce) and Kent Dorfman (Stephen Furst) are trying to pledge a good fraternity. They first try their luck at the Omega House rush party, but are out of their league. The Omegas quickly steer them to an area where they have segregated the other "undesirables": Mohammed, Jagdish, Sidney, and Clayton (who is blind and in a wheelchair). Larry and Kent then try the Deltas next door. As they approach, a headless female mannequin comes flying out of a window and lands at their feet. They meet John "Bluto" Blutarsky (John Belushi), outside taking a leak. Bluto turns to greet them and urinates on their pants. Another member, "D-Day" (Daniel Simpson Day) (Bruce McGill), rides his motorcycle through the front door and up the stairs, where he gives a rendition of the William Tell Overture—using his throat as a percussion instrument. The Deltas "need the dues" so Larry and Kent are allowed to pledge Delta (in Dorfman's case, mainly because he is a legacy since his brother Fred was a Delta). They are sworn in as pledges and given the fraternity names "Pinto" (Larry) and "Flounder" (Kent). Meanwhile, Dean Vernon Wormer (John Vernon), is trying to kick the Deltas off campus. Since they are already on probation, he puts the Deltas on "Double Secret Probation" and orders Omega president Gregg Marmalard (James Daughton) to assign Doug Neidermeyer (Mark Metcalf) the job of finding a way to get rid of the Deltas once and for all. As the campus ROTC detachment drills, Neidermeyer, the pompous cadet commander, spots plebe Flounder wearing a pledge pin on his uniform and begins berating him. Two Deltas, "Otter" (Tim Matheson) and "Boon" (Peter Riegert), witness this and object to the mistreatment (only they are allowed to abuse their pledges). They take turns hitting golf balls, aiming for the horse Neidermeyer is riding. A ball eventually strikes the horse, causing it to rear up. Then, a second ball hits Neidermeyer on the head, knocking him out of the saddle. The already spooked animal bolts, dragging a screaming Neidermeyer behind, entangled in the stirrups. Later, he orders Flounder to clean his horse's filthy stable stall. Bluto and D-Day talk Flounder into sneaking the hated animal into the Dean Wormer's office. They give him a gun and tell him to shoot it. Unbeknownst to Flounder, the gun is loaded with blanks. He can't bring himself to kill the horse and fires into the ceiling, but the noise causes the horse to have a heart attack and die. The next day, a chainsaw is required to remove the carcass, in rigor mortis, from the office. In the cafeteria the next day, Bluto provokes Gregg and Omega pledge Chip (Kevin Bacon) with his impression of a popping zit and triggers a wild food fight. Not done, Bluto and D-Day rummage through a trash bin to steal the answers to an upcoming psychology test. Unfortunately, the exam stencil had been planted by the Omegas, and the Deltas get every answer wrong. Their grade point averages drop so low that Wormer only needs one more incident to revoke their charter. Undaunted, the Deltas organize a toga party. Pinto invites Clorette (Sarah Holcomb), the cashier at the local supermarket; she turns out to be the underage daughter of shady Mayor Carmine DePasto (Cesare Danova). When she gets drunk and passes out, Pinto is tempted to take advantage of her (an angel and a devil appear over his shoulders and have a frank discussion of his choices); in the end, he takes her home in a shopping cart. A drunken Mrs. Wormer (Verna Bloom) crashes the party (both figuratively and literally) and spends the night with Otter. That turns out to be the last straw. Wormer gets the fraternity's charter revoked, and everything is confiscated. Bluto is horrified when they take "the bar, the whole f***in' bar!" To take their minds off their troubles, Otter, Boon, Flounder, and Pinto go on a road trip. They pick up some girls from Dickinson College, a local liberal arts college, and by mistake, go to a club with an all-black clientèle. Some of the hulking regulars are not amused and intimidate the guys into fleeing without their dates, badly damaging their car in their haste. Things go from bad to worse. "Babs" (Martha Smith) lies to Gregg Marmalard, telling him that his girlfriend, Mandy (Mary Louise Weller), and Otter are having an affair (in fact, they only had a one-night stand). Marmalard and some of his fellow Omegas lure Otter to a motel and beat him up. The Deltas' midterm grades are so bad that they are all expelled from school (and their draft boards notified of their eligibility) by the ecstatic Wormer. For revenge, the Deltas decide to wreak havoc on the annual Homecoming parade, inspired by Bluto's impassioned speech invoking the memory of the "Germans" bombing Pearl Harbor. In the ensuing chaos, Bluto steals a car, abducts Mandy and drives off into the sunset...or rather to Washington, D.C., as the futures of many of the main characters are "revealed" (Bluto and Mandy become Senator and Mrs. John Blutarsky). . . . In 2001, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.[2] This film is first on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies."[3] It was #36 on AFI's "100 Years, 100 Laughs" list of the 100 best American comedies. Animal House was the first movie produced by National Lampoon, the most popular humor magazine on college campuses in the mid-1970s.[5] The periodical specialized in humor and satirized politics and popular culture. Many of the magazine’s writers were recent college graduates, hence their appeal to students all over the country. Doug Kenney was the magazine’s first editor-in-chief and also wrote for the Lampoon. He had graduated from Harvard College in 1969. He was responsible for the first appearances of two characters that would appear in Animal House – Larry Kroger and Mandy Pepperidge. They made their debut in National Lampoon’s High School Yearbook, a satire published in 1975. During the toga party, Bluto smashes an acoustic guitar belonging to a folk singer (portrayed by singer/songwriter Stephen Bishop, credited as "Charming Guy With Guitar") who is serenading a group of girls with the folk tune The Riddle Song. Bluto then hands him a splintered piece and says "Sorry." Bishop wrote and performed the "Animal House Theme". and claims to have framed the smashed guitar. One of the girls whom he is serenading is John Belushi's wife Judith. Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Brian Doyle-Murray, and Dan Aykroyd all turned down roles in the film due to prior commitments. Kevin Bacon in his on-screen debut, is trampled by the panicking crowd at the end of the movie. Meat Loaf was the second choice for Bluto in case John Belushi dropped out of his role.

Check out the funbags on that hosehound. 2. Dumb and Dumber (1994) (12 of 23 lists - 173 points - highest ranking #1 SleepyWhiteSox, 3E8, TheBlackSox8) Dumb and Dumber (also as Dumb & Dumber) is a comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, released in 1994. It was directed by the Farrelly Brothers and written by the Farrelly Brothers and Bennett Yellin. It is a prime example of a classic "road movie" and includes slapstick comedy and gross-out humor. Dumb and Dumber contributed to the launch of a successful career for Jim Carrey and set the foundation for many Farrelly Brothers movies to come. It has a devoted cult following. Katie Kember is a modern example of this film Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) are two well-meaning, yet extremely stupid men who live together in their apartment in Providence, Rhode Island. Lloyd, a limousine driver, drives a young lady named Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) to the airport and falls hopelessly in love with her. After entering the airport, Mary leaves a briefcase in the middle of a terminal area, before her departure to Aspen, Colorado. Upon seeing this, Lloyd rushes in to return it to Mary, thinking she has forgotten it; what he does not know is that the briefcase is intentionally left behind because it contains ransom money for the man who had kidnapped Mary's husband. Lloyd - after being fired from his job - returns to his apartment at the same time as the also-fired and equally dimwitted friend Harry, who works for a dog groomer, owns a car that looks like a sheepdog (based on his line of work) and delivers dogs to dog shows. The two leave briefly to search for new jobs, but to no avail (unless they want to work "40 hours a week."). After returning, Harry discovers his pet parakeet Petey has died due to his head 'falling off'; unknown to him, the bird was actually murdered by Mary's husband's kidnappers, who tracked Lloyd back to his place. Having suffered the loss of both their jobs and their pet in one day, in addition to constantly running from creditors, Lloyd suggests that they leave Providence behind and head off to Aspen, Colorado, ("A place where the beer flows like wine, and the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrono."), where they can return the briefcase to Mary, and become a part of the town's social scene. After an emotional scene where they embrace, they head out, but not before Lloyd sells the dead bird to a blind kid (along with a couple of baseball cards and a sack of marbles). Harry and Lloyd trek westward across the country in the sheepdog van in hopes of finding Mary, encountering several misfortunes and adversaries along the way. Joe 'Mental' Mentalino (Mike Starr), one of the people hired by Mary's husband's kidnapper, tries to foil Lloyd and Harry's plans by hitching a ride with them to a nearby restaurant. But his plans fail when Lloyd and Harry accidentally feed him rat poison, after an unsuccessful prank involving "atomic peppers" (which backfired because they didn't know he had stomach ulcers). Harry dozes off and lets Lloyd drive, resulting in a wrong turn which takes them back in the wrong direction. However, Lloyd makes up for his mistake and "totally redeems himself" by trading the van for a mini scooter and the pair continue to Colorado. Once they arrive in Aspen, they realize that they are strapped for cash and have no place to stay. During a quarrel, they accidentally break the case open to discover for the first time that the briefcase is filled with cash. Upon discovering this, they start spending the money very elaborately, with the intention of paying it back with paper IOUs. Later in the visit, the two find Mary at a wildlife preservation benefit. Being too nervous to do it himself, Lloyd sends Harry in to talk to Mary and tell her that they have got her briefcase. Harry, however, uses the opportunity to organize himself a date with Mary, without telling his friend about it. When Lloyd discovers Harry's two-timing ways, he sabotages his date with Mary by putting 'Turbo Lax' into Harry's tea, and while Harry is trapped inside Mary's broken bathroom dealing with bowel movements, Lloyd goes to her house and tells her that he has the briefcase at his hotel room. Mary leaves Harry at home and rushes off with Lloyd to his hotel room, where Mary's husband's kidnapper awaits them. He turns out to be Nicholas Andre (Charles Rocket), a close friend of the Swanson family. When Harry returns to the hotel room as well, after his disastrous date, Nicholas tells his three victims to choose who gets to be shot first, and Harry volunteers. Nicholas shoots him assumingly dead, but Harry suddenly gets up and starts firing his own gun at Nicholas (badly missing every shot in the process). At that moment, FBI agents storm in, and arrest Andre and his other accomplice J.P. Shay. (It turns out the FBI got hold of Harry in the hotel's lobby and gave him a gun and a bullet-proof vest.) Mary's husband has returned to her, and Lloyd becomes jealous, suddenly daydreaming of shooting Mary's husband. Afterwards, Lloyd and Harry are left to find a way home for themselves. Along the way home, they inadvertently turn down a chance to be oil boys for Hawaiian Tropic bikini models, instead walking off together, playing a game of tag on a lonely desert highway, heading home. . . . Jim Carrey chipped his tooth years earlier, but had the cap removed for the film to make his character look more deranged.[1] Jim Carrey refused to shoot the original scripted ending of Harry and Lloyd getting on the bus with the girls, claiming that his character is too dumb to do so. The lines 'the most annoying sound in the world' and 'we've landed on the moon!' were ad-libbed by Carrey as well as the scene where Lloyd meets two men with Big Gulps outside of 7-11.[citation needed] In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Dumb and Dumber the 15th greatest comedy film of all time. Jim Carrey was offered Jeff Daniels' role as it had more dialogue; he chose the role he played because it had more physical comedy.[citation needed] Scenes taking place in Aspen were actually filmed in Breckenridge, Colorado and Park City, Utah. After the guys pull the bill-paying stunt on Sea Bass, Harry asks Lloyd where he got that idea. Lloyd tells him that he saw it in a movie. This is a reference to the movie Something Wild in which Jeff Daniels does the same thing to Ray Liotta. The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO was transformed into the "Danbury Hotel" for the filming of the movie. The Stanley Hotel was also used as The Overlook Hotel in the television remake of The Shining. Mary Swanson and Lloyd Christmas were objects of each other's affections, and if they became married, Mary would take Lloyd's last name and become Mary Christmas (Lloyd even points this out in the unrated edition). In the screenplay, the part when Lloyd falls asleep at the wheel and dreams about Mary, instead of the headlights (of the oncoming truck) being in her breasts, they are in her eyes.
