I dislike Adam Sandler and refuse to watch any thing he is in.

You must have watched something of his in order to know that you dislike him.

Adam Sandler

SNL. I never thought he was funny ever. If you look at this list.

The only one I have ever watched was Big daddy as part of a double feature at a drive in. i was mostly busy getting dunk and barely recall the movie.

Then it sounds like a great movie experience to me.

I was in Milwaukee for training on a certain brand of Building Access Control systems and had already become friends with the main tech support lead as I had beta installed the hardware. We went out with a little hibachi and a couple cases of beer. I have no idea what two movies we watched, nor do I recall the next day's training. Luckily I already actually knew the subject.

Yes, another street collapse in the ATL... it seems obvious to me that we are under attack by the mole men. Clearly they are angry at the fact that the Braves got shuffled off to a new location in Cobb county, so they are exacting revenge on the citizens of the city, all while scapegoating the homeless and Wile E. Coyote in an effort to conceal their true intentions...
