Dave's Trapper Keeper

So today I stayed home from work. I feel pretty shitty. When I talk, I sound like a chain smoker. On top of that, I'm congested, and can't breathe through my nose.

Other then that, I'm fine. I'm not sure if I should go to class tonight. Part of me thinks I should, and the frosted side of me, thinks that I should just stay in.

Nothing like Sprite and a soup to cure what ails you.

I went over to imdb.com, and searched under character names for "Dave Corbin". To see if there was any movie that had a character named "Dave Corbin" in it. I found one called "Words Up!" part of some CBS Schoolbreak Special. The plot sounds excellent enough.

Here's a review from Amazon.com -
"If you are looking for a movie for the whole family to watch then Word's Up should be your next choice! This family drama stars Kadeem Hardison as a 25-year-old high school dropout who is illiterate. Hardison plays Henry Brooks, a likable guy who needs a job but cannot get a one because he can't read. Henry becomes desperate after another failed job search where he surprisingly meets Vanna White, who portrays herself in a cameo appearance. Henry decides to pretend he is 18 years old again so he can go back to high school to learn to read. Henry does a great job fooling everyone until one day his football coach asks why Henry did not read the play book he had been given. His coach finds out it was not that he didn't read it, it was that he couldn't read it. Finally Henry gets the help of a classmate played by David Faustino, of Married with Children fame, who helps Henry learn to read so he can pass his mid-term exam.

Wonderworks does a great job directing this film and bringing a real-life situation to your television screen. Your kids will really like this movie. There is a great scene where the popular R&B group TLC play the lunch ladies and sing as the students go through the lunch line. Other music in the film by rappers Black Sheep."

It was only 70 cents for the VHS tape, and 2 dollars shipping.

So I did what any other person with a fever that would cloud their judgment would do.

I ordered it.
