Here’s a Halloween vid from my former Popload sidekick Rafi and his comedy troupe Ravenstake. My old NowLive boss Nar plays Ace.
Fun Fact #1: My aim name is based on Ace Ventura because I signed up for AOL in 1994 and it was my favorite movie at the time. Now it’s too late to change it, and I look like a geeky jackass everytime I have to explain the origin.
Fun Fact #2: Part of the reason Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was my favorite movie was that it co-starred Dan Marino, my all-time favorite NFL player. That makes me a Miami Dolphins fan, which in turn makes me vomit every Sunday, these days (did we really have to be the first team to lose overseas? It’s bad enough we’re the laughingstock of the NFL, we gotta be shamed internationally now? What’d we do to deserve this? Teal and Orange isn’t THAT bad a color scheme!). And the next person who has to remind me that Dan a) is a shitty actor, and b) never won a Super Bowl, gets a pen lodged in their thorax.
Fun Fact #3: I don’t care that Finkle was Einhorn, I woulda tagged Sean Young in a minute, son! Girl was looking crazy, hot, and crazy hot. Just the way I like my trannies (I learned that from Eddie Murphy.).
Fun Fact #4: Ace Ventura was probably the last time I ever found Courtney Cox truly likeable. At least until the legendary trivia episode of Friends (“That’s not even a wooooord!”).
Fun Fact #5: Three darts is too much!
Fun Fact #6: Four more fun facts to go.
Fun Fact #7: Watching the movie Dolphins play in the Super Bowl was probably the only chance I’ll ever have in my lifetime to see that happen. And yet I can’t jump ship. I will pass this miserable mantle onto my children and my children’s children. Why couldn’t my parents have boughten me a Pats jersey when I was nine? I will now go Peter Pan off a tall building.
Fun Fact #8: I blatantly steal Jim Carrey’s impression of William Shatner whenever I get the chance. Theeeere’s… somethingonthewing! SOME! THIIING!
Fun Fact #9: Pretty hot in these… rhinos!
Fun Fact #10: Dude, no excuses, Ace Ventura is flat out funny and I’m proud to have it as my aim name! AIM me at Ace1333 and we’ll trade quotes.
Have a safe and fun Halloween everyone! I’ll see you on the otherside of November.
Bangarang!
I did see the Dolphins play in a Super Bowl. But I am a 49er fan, so it was good for me. Was.
Thanks for putting this up Jay! If you watch Inside the NFL on HBO, you can see Chris Collinsworth, Cris Carter, and Bob Costas make fun of Dan Marino on a weekly basis. It’s pretty funny. But not as funny as Jim Carrey calling Courtney Cox “Saddlebags”!
