Survey Monday August 23
-
Here is your survey for today: Give your opinions:
1. What is your favorite sports themed comedy movie?
2. What is your favorite "Reality" show? (Live sports not included)
3. What are your thoughts on a statue to Al Lerner being erected outside Browns stadium?
4. Sunday was National Go Topless Day. Should women have the constitutional right to go bare chested in public the same way men can?
5. Bizarre alternate reality question:
Setup: In the late 800s the Danes and the Norse occupied much of what is today England. In the year 878 then, Alfred, King of Wessex (later Alfred The Great of England) had his "kingdom" reduced through Danish invasions to a few square miles of swamp in Somerset County (SW England) where he was hiding from the Danes who were out after him before he was able to rally his people and later retake nearly all of England in the years to come. Had the Danes captured and killed Alfred the country we know today as England would probably never have come into existance. Instead, it would have become Daneland or Norseland or something.
Question: How do you think history would have been changed had the Danes captured/killed Alfred in those swamps and had England never come to pass?
Here is your survey for today: Give your opinions:
Here are my own views:
1. What is your favorite sports themed comedy movie?
Hard to pick, but ultimately overall I think it has to come down to Caddyshack.
But subspecies by sport though how about: Hockey: Slapshot
Baseball: Major League or Bull Durham
Basketball: none that I can think of really
Football: The original "Longest Yard"
Bowling: The Big Lebowski
2. What is your favorite "Reality" show? (Live sports not included)
I am still a Survivor guy as #1
I also like Top Chef
Though there was a new one called Work of Art in which they brought artists together. One of the artists one this drop dead gorgeous, built like a brick shithouse chick who always seemed to ending up doing nudes of herself. A veritable treat.
3. What are your thoughts on a statue to Al Lerner being erected outside Browns stadium?
Like I said in another thread, I would prefer they do statues of "The Cleveland Browns" Paul Brown/Jim Brown/Joe Louis.
But, Randy owns the team and he wants to have a statue of his Dad up there who only owned the team for 2-3 years all I can say is: Fine. Release the pigeons.
4. Sunday was National Go Topless Day. Should women have the constitutional right to go bare chested in public the same way men can?
Believe it or not, I am a bit conflicted. If this happens you gotta take the good with the bad. You might get the ones like I described above, but, you may also get the ones who are 70 years old with banana and rutabaga boobs.
5. Bizarre alternate reality question:
Setup: In the late 800s the Danes and the Norse occupied much of what is today England. In the year 878 then, Alfred, King of Wessex (later Alfred The Great of England) had his "kingdom" reduced through Danish invasions to a few square miles of swamp in Somerset County (SW England) where he was hiding from the Danes who were out after him before he was able to rally his people and later retake nearly all of England in the years to come. Had the Danes captured and killed Alfred the country we know today as England would probably never have come into existance. Instead, it would have become Daneland or Norseland or something.
Question: How do you think history would have been changed had the Danes captured/killed Alfred in those swamps and had England never come to pass?
OK, on this lets start just with some basics: Alfred the Great actually invented the term "Anglo-Saxon" and though he didn't invent the term, he is the one who created the land known as England and he gave us the name of the language "English". (Don't know if you all knew that..it is why he is the only "English King" called "The Great")
So, if he had been buried in the swamps we might all now be speaking Danish instead of occasionally having one for breakfast.
Thus perhaps we have no Chaucer, no Shakespeare, no Beatles, etc. Paul Revere might have cried "The Danish are coming, the Danish are coming". England wouldn't swing like a pendulum do. We all might be named Canute or Bjorn or somesuch. The line "something rotten in Denmark" would never probably made it way into our lexicon.
So, yea, amazing. Its like, what would have happened if George Washington had been captured or killed....only the repercussions oddly may have been even greater.

1. Major League

5. Ya, well, doncha know, the women would all be strong, the men good looking, the children above average and the Vikings would be America's team.
Funny question. -
I watched "Work of Art" a few times too but it was interesting in more of a "train wreck" sort of way.

Why not? But to do so before we win a superbowl would be tasteless..

Absolutely!
5. Bizarre alternate reality question:
If it wasnt alfred the great it would have been someone else perhaps even the irish/scottish celts that would have eventually rose up and won their freedom and their lands back from the norsemen just like the irish united and expelled the vikings after 700 years of domination only to have the normans and then the saxons invade..never a break for the emerald isle..there is no doubt that minus alfred things would be considerably different though regardless of the outcome of who won or didnt overcome the danes...

Cal, great call in sandlot. That was a classic... "you play ball like a girl"
I honestly didn't think of The Sandlot. GREAT movie. I also liked League of Their Own (where they really did play like girls) but didn't think of it as a comedy. Hmm.

Perhaps, but you probably didn't look at it with the same prurient eyes that I did, all things considered.

I don't think it is a consTITutional issue. Those BOOBS in Washington would screw it up anyway. Each individual state should keep aBREAST of the situation with their own privacy laws. We don't even have topless beaches here in NIPPLES Naples.
