Extra credit can be obtained by beating me in a game of tennis, basketball, racquetball, Halo, chess, trivial pursuit, or any other sport/game that I know how to play. If you lose, you can still get extra credit by completing an extra project. One challenge per semester, and no challenges the last week of class. Come by my office to schedule a time to play.
And now, some unrelated quotes from some of my favorite commedies...
Napoleon Dynamite
Rex: Take a look at what I'm wearing, people.
You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face
while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.
Zoolander
Hansel: I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an
astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of
mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really
listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know
what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best
shot.
The Naked Gun
Frank Drebin: It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix.
It's like eating a spoonful of Drano. Sure it'll clean you out, but it'll
leave you hollow inside.
The Princess Bride
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong - that's
what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha-ha, you
fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of
which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only
slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when
death is on the line!" Hahahahahah!
[Vizzini falls over dead]
Airplane
Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon
as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important
right now.
Spaceballs
Dark Helmet: There is something you should know.
I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
Lone Star: So what does that make us?
Dark Helmet: Nothing! Which is what you are about to become.<
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
French Knight: You don't frighten us, English pig dogs!
Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person!
I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your
silly English K-nig-hts.
National Lampoon's Vacation
Ed: Now, I owe it to myself to tell you, Mr. Griswold,
that if you are thinking of taking the tribe cross country,
this is the automobile you should be using. The Wagon Queen Family
Truckster. You think you hate it now, but wait till you drive it.
