Title: Entertainment Weekly's 'The Quotable Pacino'
Post by: KickTheBobo on April 20, 2008, 02:34:07 PM
Over the course of his Oscar-winning career — spanning the ''Godfather'' films, ''Scarface,'' and now ''88 Minutes'' — Pacino has given us more than his share of great soundbites.

such as this nugget:

Is this real? Really? Amazing.

Either The Best Show is actually rewriting history with it's hilarity, or the author of that article is a die hard fan. I hope it's the first one!

Wow! Yeah, I wonder about the guy who put this together. I mean, besides the person who called in with the "get ready" quote, I've never heard anyone screw that quote up before. It's everywhere.

Man, you totally got me! Nice work. I honestly never even questioned its reality. In a better world this would be true...

The "next" and "back" links work, too.  He even had the EW favicon.  Awesome stuff Bobo.

Wow. Well done. If someone else hadn't caught it, I wouldn't have noticed.

KTB = Cyberspace Super Genius ... Let's hope he continues to use his powers for good.

I initially questioned its authenticity, but it was too clean of a job. Well done, KTB. First you make me spew ginger-ale out of my nose with your thoughts on alt-porn (true story) and now this. Keep up the good work!

thanks for the nice words folks! Really, though: all you gotta do to save a webpage to your computer is go to File>Save Page As in your browser. It will download all the graphics and html. Make a few changes in the text, upload it to a webspace somewhere and viola!: Bill O'Reilly is posting his favorite Pavement b-sides. (http://www.kickthebobo.com/blog.htm)

That is fucking awesome.  I'm going to zap that around the internets as a real thing, if you don't mind.

sure, post away! (you too, beth) the url kinda gives it away, but sometimes you can fool folks for a minute or two.

if we were really slick, we could even register thebilloreillyblog.com (I checked, it's available) and mirror stuff there. not me, though. I'm still trying to recoup the losses on all those failed Second Life™ business plans. Really, are people going to pay actual cash for a virtual pizza to be delivered to their virtual basement apartment?

They pay a real dollar for a virtual roll of toilet paper on Facebook.
