TGIF! Lots of rookie minicamps are starting today. So get ready for those reports of season ending injuries to start pouring in next week.
Word Count Filler Time
The survival series is over. And since you’re still here I’m counting that as a success. You’re still bound by the clubhouse rules of not dying though, so don’t forget anything. Instead this section will just be used for random stuff to pad out that word count. After all, the comments are the star here, not this.
Here’s something fun. Let’s look at where some things originated from.
Super Mario Bros: The character is modeled after the landlord of Nintendo’s Manhattan office.
Gollum: His body was modeled after Iggy Pop. His voice was modeled after Andy Serkis’s cat coughing up a hairball.
NBA Logo: Jerry West when he was playing for the Lakers.
Taxi Driver: Travis Buckle was inspired by real life attempted assassinator Arthur Bremer who was trying to kill presidential candidate George Wallace. This movie then inspired John Hinckley, Jr. to attempt assassinating Reagan.
American Flag Bumper Stickers: Peter Fonda put an American flag bumper sticker on his motorcycle for his film Easy Rider. And, of course, LA police stopped him for desecrating the flag. Although within a year all LA cop cars would wear an American flag bumper sticker.
Word count filled. Onwards!
