‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’ in 3D opens Friday

September 7th, 2010 by jeffbahr

 

  Opening Friday at Carmike will be “Resident Evil: Afterlife.”
  For the fourth time, Milla Jovovich will slash her way through hordes of zombies in a world overrun by a virus.
   
                                                 *      *      *
 Leaving Thursday will be “The Expendables” and “Takers.” Who even knew that “Takers” was still here?
                                                 *      *      *
 Dan Richardt, back from Target Field, says the new hot dogs are vastly inferior to the much-beloved Dome Dog.
  Switching from Hormel to Schweigert, simply in the name of money, was a mistake.
 “Those Fun Dogs that they sell at the store? They’re not very fun,” Shawn said. “They’re actually a little depressing.”
 
 
                                                 *      *      *
 Give credit to Lynde Ross. “I have quiet shoes on today,” she said as she padded by.
                                                 *      *      *
 Co-worker Stacey Usselman says the upside of cold weather is “no flip-flops.” 
 Now I’ll have to find something new to complain about.
                                                 *      *      *
 “The American” — a movie that gives us a chance to use the word inexecrable — was No. 1 at the Aberdeen box office last weekend. “The Last Exorcism” was No. 2. “Toy Story 3” was fourth.
                                                 *      *      *
  Last week, the three new movies in Aberdeen were all rated R.
 
                                                 *      *      *
  If motorcycles become quiet, like Prius automobiles, will bikers still be happy riding them?  
                                                 *      *      *
  Drama teachers are astounded by my presence.
                                                 *      *      *
 “Parker Spitzer” is the name of the new CNN Kathleen Parker and Eliot Spitzer show.
 “Sounds like a funeral home,” Michelle says.

                                                 *      *      *
   A lot of people compliment my pre-Raphaelite hair.
                                                 *      *      *
 
 Michelle agrees that Mark David Chapman has been a model prisoner. “But that doesn’t mean he’s not crazy.”
 That sort of describes me at work.  
                                                 *      *      *
 After sending in a three-minute video, Holly Hoffman had to make a casting visit to Los Angeles before she was chosen for “Survivor.”
 
                                                 *      *      *
 Holly’s personal trainer was Derik Budig of the Aberdeen Family Y.
                                                 *      *      *
 Things are big next week in Eureka. Not only will everyone watch “Survivor,” but it’s also time for Schmeckfest.
 As I was ranting, I asked Kelda if I should stop.
 “Oh no, carry on. I just won’t be here to listen to you.”
 Why does everybody walk away when I’m talking to them?
                                                 *      *      *
 David Nelson, on the other hand, brought me a French waffle from the Reykjavik Bakery in Gimli.
 He pointed out that the gift was a French pastry from an Icelandic bakery in Canada.
 
                                                 *      *      *
 The steak and gravy biscuits at Hardee’s sound intriguing.  
                                                 *      *      *
 Look all you want. You’ll never see me at a threshing bee.
                                                 *      *      *
 I tuned in to a North Dakota high school football game on the Midcontinent sports channel. No one was doing play-by-play.
 If you’re a South Dakotan, good luck identifying players for Bismarck and West Fargo.
                                                 *      *      *
 
 My wife is concerned that I’m going to say the wrong thing at my son’s wedding Oct. 2.
 Me? I’m the soul of discretion.
                                                 *      *      *
 Football coaches agree that my speed is deceptive.
                                                 *      *      *
  

 I just don’t hear a lot of talk about Thursday’s Dave Matthews Band-Taylor Swift concert.

                                                  *      *      *

 There were 30 Cuban-born players in the major leagues in 1967, the most ever, according to STATS LLC.

                                               *      *      *

 Michelle believes that, in the pet world, cats are second-class citizens.

                                                 *      *      *
 Because leaving comments has become impossible, this blog has become a dialogue between my son (also known as Sid Dickerson) and me.
 That’s not all bad, though. Maybe you enjoy the conversation.

    I don’t know where you think you get the right to blow my cover like that.

    I do agree, it is near impossible to leave a comment now.
    I had to do everything short of a retina scan just to post this, and I’m still not entirely sure that this will make it through the final stages of security clearance.

    MAYBE SOMETHING COULD BE DONE TO RE-OPEN THIS BLOG TO THE PUBLIC.
