SPOTD E-mail on the Web (#119)

Not much is new, aside from this brand-spanking new SPOTD e-mail. The SPOTD is also available at the SPOTD blog, along with other quality content. I update it pretty frequently these days. I update the SPOTD website and Right Wing Pundit much less frequently.

You might notice a few links on the sidebar to Lillie (sister-in-law) and Chris & Rachelle (brother & sis-in-law). Of special importance- Lacy, the SPOTD-wife, has started a blog of her very own- http://lacylowry.blogspot.com. You can read the title if you visit the site (I came up with the title, but she was definitely the inspiration).

Today's phrase:
From Ludwig Von Beethoven. An interesting thought.

Actual:
El único símbolo de superioridad que conozco es la bondad.

Phonetic with emphasis on bold syllable:
Ell oo-nee-coe seem-bow-low day sue-pore-ee-dahd kay cone-oze-coe ace lah bone-dahd.

Translation:
I do not recognize any sign of superiority but kindness.


Movies
I'm excited by the coming Transformers movie. Together with GI Joe, it was the favorite toy and cartoon of my youth (He-Man in 3rd place). Now there is news that a GI Joe movie is in the works! This is a big deal. Snake Eyes was the man.
Music & Lyrics: This was a pretty good chick flick. I enjoyed it, and it was worth watching if only for the music video. You can see it below.
Pale Rider: There is a scene where Clint Eastwood's preacher character is offered bribes by a greedy mining baron. He takes a drink from his glass and gives this glare. It's a great moment. "How much is it worth to have a clear conscience?" Classic movie.

Go Canes
The University of Miami has a new football coach, Randy Shannon. I'm optimistic about his chances in the long run, and think that he'll be good for the program.

NBA
A pretty cool site, Dunkathon, with some quality videos from the past.

Gum
I chew a lot of gum. I decided to give this new brand, Stride, a try. My normal brand is Orbit. Guess what? My normal brand is still Orbit. I prefer the texture to Stride, and despite Stride's claims to be "ridiculously long-lasting" there isn't much of a difference. Orbit also tastes better.

"Jazz flute Mr. Burgundy"
In SPOTD #117 I linked to this guy, who has some real talent.
Peter and the Wolf & Sesame Street.
