MPH and The Wizard: A marriage legitimized by Wikipedia

After a long week of work, I arrived home last Friday night with a take-out bag from In 'N Out and the mindset that I would be totally fine with just getting drunk to MPH4 Kids again, and then maybe walking to a nearby bar... of course, I was in no mood to walk anywhere after knocking down a double-double with animal style fries, and drinking to a movie power hour... still, Shotty and I felt the need to do something productive and that's when we discovered the new alternative to the prank phone call... making additions and alterations to Wikipedia pages.

On the Cortland page, Dan expanded their list of "Famous Alumni" to include "A lot of shitty football players who lost to Ithaca." On the Tony Danza page, Shotty felt compelled to clarify the fact that Tony has been "repeatedly snubbed by the Emmy's." Unfortunately, both of these addidtions were erased within 24 hours of their posting.

On the bright side, the update I made to "The Wizard" is still standing (four days later). Check out this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_%28film%29

and take a look at the "Trivia" section. The fourth bullet down should still read something like this: "The Wizard anchors every Movie Power Hour"... I will be very impressed and proud if this thing holds up... and who would dare change that bit of trivia... it is the truth after all.

Roger Ebert is a douche with bad taste in movies.
