An article by Joe D

Seriously? Don’t you guys and girls at MMO have anything better to do with your time?

    That would be correct (although the titles chosen were somewhat coincidental).

      Could Valdy be The Brother From Another Planet?

‘The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly – Joe D.’

Almost afraid to ask Joe who he considers the good, the bad and the ugly in our starting rotation.
Dave In Spain March 4, 2013 at 1:36 pm

How about:
The OF– The Gods Must Be Crazy

The OF– PeeWee´s Big Adventure

Sandy (or DW)– The Man Who Would Be King

The OF– Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control (Errol Morris documentary)

The Front Office– City Slickers (but who is Jack Palance???)

The OF– O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The OF– Boys Don´t Cry

…this is too easy!
