IMHO, Conal Cochran is the single most underrated bad guy in cinematic history. Any homicidal dipshit with a lawn implement and a grudge can slaughter screwing teenagers. That takes no talent whatsoever, but your max body count is gonna be what, a couple dozen at the most? Those are rookie numbers. Let's be honest, Michael, Jason, and Freddie weren't splitting the atom folks.
Cochran, OTOH, was a true visionary genius, a master warlock with real ambition. He wasn't satisfied with killing a couple kids having sex or whining for candy. Rather, he wanted to kill all of them in the most gruesome way possible -- by conjuring snakes and bugs and other weird **** to materialize in their heads and he tapped into the ancient demonic powers of the Druidic Bluestone to do it. The f#%king Druids! Who does that? A man with the balls to want his reach to exceed his grasp, that's who. That's the stuff of legend and he wasthisclose to pulling it off.
Dude is a first-ballot, unanimous Hall of Famer in my book.

Have never seen any movies from the Halloween franchise. I feel like I'm not missing much, but it is a stain on my Child of the 80s/90s punch card. Have seen a few Jason films and a Creep Show.
*chef's kiss* to this weather.
I'd love to see a good shellacking by our football team, reminiscent of what we used to have done to us by the likes of UT and Florida. I doubt NIU is a candidate becase Stoops is a nice person, but maybe South Carolina?
I no longer have any kids in single digits. #old
The political ads. They're a comin'.
Nerd talk: upgraded to an SSD (solid state drive) on my home desktop computer. Unreal speed. Has to be one of the best inventions ever.
One week until Fall Break. Glorious. Never had one before, so I'm going to take full advantage by ... sleeping in past 7:00 a.m. (hopefully) and not doing shiiiiiiit all week.
Stay classy, NOB.

You need to at least watch the first one on general principle. This scene is creepy...
and the ending, while entirely predictable, is classic.
The biggest upside to all of that is the fact that you were never exposed to the cinematic horribleness that is Halloween III.
THIRTY EIGHT DAYS TIL HALLOWEEN SILVER FRIGGIN SHAMROCK, BROTHER !!!!
I'll share an amazing John Carpenter flick I've never seen before yesterday...

Is there a way they haven't killed Michael Myers?
I feel fairly certain Halloween III was written a horrible acid trip.

Pete Fonda carving a tube with Snake Plissken? More please.
Two new Billy Badass patches for mav’s bat bag...
Son, where do you get that second patch?
ESPN just took 5 years off my life with that stupid app business.

Currently entering day four of LTL. A few takeaways if I may.
1. Drinks are severely overpriced. $12 for Bud Light from the little mobile beer guys on the grounds. $18 for some IPAs. Still bought a few. Needed a little bit of a chaser for the bourbon I snuck in.
2. Overall the music has been really good. A few of the lesser known bands have absolutely rocked. Wife and kids came away from the Airbourne performance very energetic. Said they were awesome.
3. So far the headliners absolutely killed. Amazing performances from most of them. A few that stood out.... Tenacious D, that was a fun experience with my 17 yr old daughter. Evanescence, that Amy chick can flat out sing. Lamb of God was great. Not very familiar with their material but they played a great set. Was surprised at how good Shinedown was. Had never seen them perform before. They rocked way harder compared to what I hear on the radio. Their front man was solid, energetic and very gracious to the fans. Slipknot was effing crazy. Very entertaining. Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie and Kiss. What a way to finish off a Saturday night. Alice was great as usual. Third time seeing him. First time seeing Rob Zombie and Kiss. The zombie show was killer. Dude got after it. Kiss was pretty much what I expected. Makeup, lights, fire... And the music was on point. Great set list. Supposed to be their final, final show. Glad I got to see them before they retired for the umpteenth time.
4. Ghostmane sucked hard. Don't think any of the other members could play an instrument. Tryin to hard to act cool? Just base and noise. Eff those guys.
5. T n A!! Just wanted to say thanks for all the eye candy. Girls running around topless with paint or pasties covering up very little. Looking at you chick with the T-Rex stickers. Lol. Fishnet tops and bottoms. What a sight.
6. Weed. And lots of it. Vaping appears to be the preferred method for most of the fans.
Hoping Sunday goes as well as the rest of the weekend has.

TFW when you stroll into the NOB after dropping the Not-So-Mean-Machine to 0-3…
I'm staying silent, because I know how this year has gone for me so far.
Unless ceedee lamb goes off for 12 points tonight. I'll suffer my first fantasy loss. I'm not sure I'll address the media tonight. Probably let a assistant coach take questions.
Starting the season 0-3 doesn’t really phase me. But losing to mav in FF is about as low as it gets.
