What happened next typified the darker side of Harvard's almost entirely pleasant afternoon. With eight seconds showing on the clock, Harvard got off one play and was called offsides. In the ensuing confusion, the clock ran out and Cuccia's fake went for naught. Harvard went to the dressing room leading, 12-0, but sorely disappointed. "Time wasn't the factor there," Restic said afterward, "we just didn't get it done...
...does in the hugeness of the production and its arrogant pomposity. Forget the castration scene, the oozing entrails, the close-ups of women urinating, the slow motion vomiting, the fist rammed up the anus. The real obscenity is the amount of money spent on the gallons of fake blood and the tons of naked flesh used in the film; the amount of money needed to waste the talents of such fine performers as Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, Helen Mirren, and Sir John Gielgud; the amount of money squandered on lavish sets that often look less like ancient Rome than...

He even has a solution to the age-old problem of how to choose the quickest line at a fast-food restaurant: go for the one with the most young adults wearing backpacks; they generally turn out to be students or bicycle riders ordering only for themselves...
