Dirty Dancing was pretty much the only thing he did that was better. That scored a perfect 10 in terms of unintentional comedy.


I'd have to go with Point Break for that one.

Have you ever wondered if there was more to life other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

Though I have no proof I believe that movie brought us the term 'brah'. As in, "How's it going, brah?" I think it's used in place of buddy, partner, chum, brother, and bro (although I'm sure there are more).

Surprising no one, I've never been able to pull it off in a conversation.

"Utah, give me two?" Really? Come on. You're really going to put that up against "Nobody puts Baby in a corner?"

I mean if we're going purely on bad acting or unbelievable story lines then okay, no problem. But the category was unintended comedy. This isn't close.

Fucking classic.

Where else can someone empty his 9mm pistol into the air while laying on the ground screaming in pain and frustration? Nowhere, I tell you... No. Where.

Roadhouse has hot boobs, though.

MJ: Pride is temporary, pain is forever.

In all seriousness, I have pondered this as I finally have gotten off my lazy butt and started to work on speed. What exactly is this pain of running? When I run, my legs do in fact grow uncomfortable, but that is not the pain that ultimately I have to fight through or fail. It is a more psychic pain, something having to do with mind, breathing and focus. I feel my body falling apart and have to exert fully to hold it together in a way that mimics how I endure pain. But it does not really hurt in the way a knife or a match or muscle soreness does.



I understand your confusion, but isn't every pain different? The pain of stubbing your toe is very different from the pain of a paper cut. The pain of knocking your head on a car door is different from the pain that is closing your fingers in the door. There is no such thing as "pain" apart from the events that cause it.

My experience tells me that most pains are more about fear than physical discomfort. The wound doesn't hurt until you look at it. The pain of stubbing your toe is half surprise, half frustration that you weren't paying attention. The pain of achilles tendonitis is mixed up with fear about not being able to run in the future.

So it goes with running, racing, training...dealing with the pain means treating it for what it is, not making it out to be more than it is, and sometimes even learning to lean into the sharpened blade...

The folks a Lionsgate, the studio responsible for the timeless classic Dirty Dancing, have filed a lawsuit against 15 companies that claims they used the trademarked "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" in their merch without permission. The suit, filed in Los Angeles last week, also alleges the unauthorized merchandise creates confusion about what is and isn't legit Dirty Dancing schwag.

"The American Film Institute voted 'Nobody puts Baby in a corner' as one of the top 100 most popular quotes from a motion picture," the lawsuit states. "Plaintiff markets and sells merchandise with the movie trademarks through approved licensees as part of the Dirty Dancing line of approved merchandise."

Does this mean that bit about "your dance space" is off-limits too? Moreover, what does this mean for Fall Out Boy? The film is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year (has it been so long since we saw Patrick Swayze in tight pants? Seems like yesterday...) and a 2-disc special DVD has been released so you can relive all the magic. Go ahead. Pop the popcorn, break out the headgear and remember the good ol' days.

That movie is genius. Unappreciated, unadulterated genius.

"I'm so hungry I could eat the ass end off a dead rhino." [I still use this one at least once a quarter.]

"Little hand says it's time to rock and roll.

"Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true. "

"Why don't you astonish me, shitface? "

"You're a real blue flame special, aren't you, son? Young, dumb and full of come, I know. What I don't know is how you got assigned here. Guess we must just have ourselves an asshole shortage, huh?"

"This was never about the money, this was about us against the system. That system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. We are here to show those guys that are inching their way on the freeways in their metal coffins that the human spirit is still alive."

"Surfing's the source man."

"22 years. Man, L.A. has changed a lot during that time. The air got dirty and the sex got clean. "

This movie also had an all-time great chase scene -- Swayze and Keanu on foot.

At the time it came out (early '90's), I used to get a kick out of the premise that Keanu Reeves was some ex--Ohio State star quarterback because a) Keanu Reeves and b) at that point, OSU hadn't been to the Rose Bowl since 1984. Now, that part doesn't seem quite as funny to me for some reason.

You know what's painful?

Reading debates over what to wear under your running shorts. I figured if you were posting here, you were capable of dressing yourself.

Listening to people pump themselves up. There's a difference between race reports, asking questions, and shameless bragging. If you're about to do a race, I don't care. My guess is there's a couple thousand people also about to do a race. When it's over, and you wanna share the experience for the good of the group, more power to ya. But be prepared to answer questions, not just bask in the glow of your accomplishment.

Reading any thread in the "Off the Beaten Path" forum. I'm swearing that crap off for good.
