"that's how i roll"

okay, so it's past 1 a.m. and sarah and i are watching "anchorman" from our sleeping bags in my living room.

let me begin by saying that the entire movie takes place in san diego, and from the opening shot sarah was excited. every outdoor shot (and there were a lot of those) she would guess where they were. "coronado bridge! seaport village! right outside seaworld!"

anyways, at one point ron burgundy and his beloved dog, baxter, are in the car on the bridge. ron is eating a burrito, and informs the dog "this burrito is delicious, but very filling" and as jack black on a motorcycle pulls up alongside, ron flings the burrito out the window and into jack's face, causing him to wipeout on his "hog."

ron pulls over, and jack comes running up to him, yelling. jack accuses ron of destroying the only thing in his life that he loves, and demands to know what ron loves. "....poetry. a glass of scotch. and, of course, my faithful friend here, baxter." jack then marches to the dog, picks him up, and PUNTS him off the coronado bridge. he turns around and says "that's how i roll." and walks away. ron proceeds to lose it.

now, i don't know about you, but we found that to be hilarious. i think we rewound and watched it about ten times total. there was talk of trying to reenact the scene using my cat and the balcony. and when the movie was over, we got to see even more of the scene's hilarity in the outtakes and deleted scenes.
