...batting practice, he told them to quit whining. After all, this was a team that had only three wins in each of the three seasons before Morris showed up in 1997. But the players knew their coach's fastball was major league scary. So when he gave them a pep talk about following their dreams, they challenged him to follow his own and try out for a major league club. And they offered him a deal: if their team, the Owls, made the state tournament, Morris would go to a major league tryout. He agreed, just to get them...
Still, I must applaud the craft that obviously went into the film. The agility and movements of the muppets were smooth, and the voices were wonderfully done, especially Pep the Prawn's Spanich accent: He almost made the show worthwhile. The muppets' costumes were realistic to the point of being almost comical. For example, Ms. Piggy's news-anchor suit seemed to come directly out of Connie Chung's wardrobe. But that wasn't enough to keep me from checking my watch every few minutes...
...winner, DIANE SAWYER (seen, at left, being congratulated by then Governor George Wallace). We've unearthed Diane's application, which clearly shows that her capacity for hard work took root early.

Last May he sat in his Jeep making calls as 1,500 fans--many of them children let out of school early--gathered a block away for a Sabres pep rally. Yet Hasek has been generous to Buffalo charities, and he took a lower salary than he could have earned in the free-agent market to stay with a middling team...
...that a wrestling match brilliantly coordinated by lighting designer Ryan McGee and set designer Sarah Knight '00 to resemble a pep rally from Hell, a shlocky interactive wedding (with, admitedly, an infinitely-better-than-average wedding band performance by Harvard's own B-Side), and the show's pinnacle--a hilarious gender-bending, mimed depiction of Elsa and Lohengrin's wedding night (performed with just the right mix of sincerity and tounge-in-cheek self-awareness and down-right bravery by Jordin Ruderman and Joseph Subotnik '00) and you'll begin to understand the aesthetics of King Kong...
