Going Back to Your High School Reunion as a Famous Actor Has to Be the Best Feeling Ever

“Lots of people dread going to their 20-year high school reunion. But not Bradley Cooper!

The Hangover star returned to his alma mater, Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, Pa., on Nov. 8 to catch up with friends from the class of 1993 and visit his favorite teachers.

“He has come back to GA a couple of times to talk to students,” a school official tells PEOPLE. “He loves seeing his old teachers and enjoys reminiscing with them. When he says he’s going to do something for the school, he does it. He’s a big supporter and proud to be a part of this school. So it was no surprise that he came to the reunion.”

While his girlfriend, British model Suki Waterhouse was in L.A., Cooper, 38, had a blast reliving the past with his best pal and fellow ’93 classmate Brian Klugman, who stars on the FOX series Bones.”

I can’t imagine a better feeling than this. Even if you were the man in high school, going back to your 20 year reunion as a world famous actor with your model girlfriend is an all time trump card. At most reunions you’re impressed by classmates who became doctors or lawyers. Not at BCoops. “Oh your a doctor now? That’s cool, I might have to dip out early though, gotta catch a plane to Hawaii to film a movie with Jennifer Lawrence.” If I were him I’d go to every high school reunion I could get my hands on. Even if he didn’t go to that high school. Just show up with Suki and shoot the shit with all the normies of the world. I for one would be ecstatic to hang out with Bradley Cooper at my high school reunion. Naturally we’d become best friends and I’d star in his new movie about two best friends who meet at a high school reunion. During the premiere he introduces me to Jennifer Lawrence and we embark on a lifelong romance. Now I can’t wait for my reunion.

It’s Mind Blowing How Many People Use the Word Angle When They Meant to Use Angel

An angel and an angle, as most people know, are two very different things. Twitter refuses to acknowledge this scientific fact.

It’s nice to know that we have so many angles looking out for us. Obtuse. Right. 90 degrees. Every single one is watching from above.

Where Do You Draw the Line on Being Well-dressed and Looking Insane?

I think Darrelle Revis and Tim Wright might be riding the line perfectly. Fresh suites at Raymond James means time to kill the Fins.

Side note: is that a man purse in Revis’s hand? If so I think I might need to go out and get one. Matt’s Island all over Providence.

Before you hate all over my face, let’s see whose company I would be in.

Monster Blog Wednesday – National Anthems

Since Veterans Day just passed, and national anthems are one of the coolest parts of a live game experience, we decided to pick our favorite national anthem rendition at a music or sporting event. The competition is fierce, because many all time greats have sung a live version of the national anthem. Here are our picks..

Nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever looked cooler singing the national anthem than Marvin Gaye. Single handedly made me change my stance on wearing sunglasses indoors. I’ve always hated people who do it, but after watching this, I’m not sure I’ll ever take them off indoors. Marvin had every girl in that place swoonin’ while singing the national anthem. How many artists can say that? Just blowing the roof of the Staples Center. If I made the all star team that year I would’ve made the commissioner cancel the game. No way you follow that performance. Impossible.

It’s Woodstock 1969, and the greatest human to ever pick up a guitar, Jimi Hendrix, is tearing down the house playing the good ol’ Star Spangled Banner. I have always said if I was ever able to go back in time I would like to be at Woodstock, and more specifically during one of Jimi’s sets. The guy was an absolute magician with the strings, not to mention he lights his instrument on fire from time-to-time.

A Nation Weeps: Batman bin Suparman is in Jail

(Source) “Three years ago, Singapore man Batman bin Suparman — whose name translates to “Batman son of Suoperman” — became an Internet celebrity after a picture of his ID card surfaced.

Now 23, Batman is back in the news after getting sentenced on Monday to three years in jail on a variety of charges. Batman was arrested in August, after surveillance video showed him stealing the equivalent of $400 from a store, according to court documents obtained by the AFP.

In addition, Batman stole the ATM card of his brother, Nurazman Suparman, and fraudulently used it to make purchases totally about $680, according to Channel News Asia. He also pleaded guilty to unrelated counts of theft and heroin consumption.

Some fans of Batman have expressed their dismay on the “Batman Bin Suparman Fan Club” Facebook page, lamenting that their hero “has fallen to the Dark Side.” Others have called for someone to break him out of jail.”

If I’m a police officer in Singapore there is no way in hell I’m arresting Batman. Couldn’t bring myself to do it. Unless this guy is going on a murder spree I’m letting him go. We rarely come across greatness in the flesh, and if “Batman son of Suoperman” isn’t a sign of greatness then quite frankly I don’t know what is. So he stole $400 worth of stuff and fraudulently used his brother’s ATM card. There is always a price you pay for greatness. In Batman’s case it was $1,080. Small price to pay to be graced with the presence of not one, but two famous superheroes. Let’s hope the Singapore police understand the err of their ways and release Batman before he inevitably breaks out and launches a superhero campaign on the entire country.

Beer Drinkers Guide to Beerfest

Beerfest came to our backyard of Providence, Rhode Island this weekend, and as an avid beer drinker, I was not going to pass up this opportunity. Here’s a guide (to the best of my recollection) to doing beerfest the right way.

image

Although beerfest was nothing like the movie, it’s still a great time. It costs $44 at the door, which is basically stealing, because I felt like I drank $1,000 worth of beer. I’ve heard from a few people that they have a process when it comes to sampling beers, but my advice is to go to the tables with the shortest lines and try not to make a fool of yourself. Also, if Curious Traveler offers you a fake mustache, take it.

If a company is smart enough to build taps into the side of a van, drink their beer.

Never miss an opportunity to get a picture of a world class ponytail.

Or a man wearing a wolf costume on the bus.

The lesson of beerfest is that there are no winners or losers, just those brave men and women who throw their inhibitions to the wind and drink as much beer as they can in a three and a half hour time period.

And although a few wary travelers passed out along the way..

Did I Have The Greatest Weekend Ever? You’re Damn Right

First, unintentionally running into Jon Gruden at a Tampa Hooters.

Coolest guy ever. He told us hands in, so thats what we did. You do what the coach tells you. Also, handshakes all around. Classy-as-fuck move.

And speaking of “classy-as-fuck”, I think I have tailgating down to a science.

Secondly, and most important, The Buccaneers beat the Dolphins for their first win of the season.

FYI, this picture was taken before the game. Confidence city on my part.

Can’t handle the heat…move a seat over from me.
