How can you emphasize IN in "in December, Orson Welles' Oscar sold"?

/3 ins in a row

He doesn't do anything?

The Oscar he got for a screenplay he didn't write? I wonder if they offered to pay the Mankiewicz family $10,000 to keep the rest of the money.

This one is better. (new window)

It was a SLED.

I miss the Critic, that show is still amazing to watch.

/Oh what luck, there is a french fry stuck in my beard!

Wait, does this mean that he and Pinky will use the money to try and take over the world?

It's a crying shames he won an Oscar for Citizen Kane and yet his incredibly nuanced portrayal of Unicron continues to go unrecognized.

Bwaaah the French

Here, under protest, is Beef Burgers.

Mmmmm, YES!!!!! It's even better when you're dead!!!!

I saw Welles back in the late 80's in Los Angeles....at Pink's Hot Dogs. He had just ordered four of the Bacon Chili Cheese Dogs...topped w/3 strips of bacon, tomatoes & cheese and he was standing out front eating them two at a time, and washing them down with a bottle of Yoo-Hoo. As he stood there, balancing his food and drink as he ate, he dropped one of his dogs on the ground....he bends over, with great effort, and picks it up, looks it over once and takes a big bite out of it. He looks over and sees that I am staring at him - he swallows the remaining dog and says, "Always use a spatula or tongs to cook your hot dogs. They can lose moisture and tasty juices when pierced by a fork."

Words to live by, Mr. Welles....words to live by.

Thank you, Schroepnuts. The rest of you, I'm very disappointed.

Bloody William

Well - now you know how your wife feels.

And when I turned around, I saw Bob Barker and he was eating a baloney and cheese ball sandwich.

You might want to get that checked.

I've seen Citizen Kane more than a few times. It can't possibly be considered the best movie ever! I never think it's very good, except on a technical level. I find "L.A. Confidential" to be a far superior movie and think it should be considered the finest movie ever made.

I thought the Academy had an option to buy the award for like 1$ before it could go to auction. Guess either Uncle John's Bathroom Reader was wrong, or they didn't exercise it.
Because I swear I've heard something about the family trying to sell his statue before

/or maybe i'm just nuts
//probably

I think the rule is that if the Oscar was won after 1950, the winner signs an agreement to sell it back to the academy for a dollar. Before that, they can do whatever they want.
I remember this came up, I guess it was about 10 years ago, when Harold Russell (the dude with no hands) sold his Oscar for "Best Years Of Our Lives."

This is seriously one of the funniest things i have ever read

I will buy no Oscar before it's time.

I had the opportunity to hear Maurice LeMarche do the frozen peas bit live once. ComicCon 2007, for the ComicBook the Movie panel. Absolutely hilarious. He and Rob Paulsen had us all in stitches.

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

/"Why? That doesn't make any sense. Sorry. There's no known way of saying an English sentence in which you begin a sentence with 'in' and emphasize it. Get me a jury and show me how you can say "in July", and I'll go down on you"

Snapper Carr: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so, but burlap chafes me so.

DjangoStonereaver: I'm shocked the MPAA didn't manage to block its sale.

It's the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who gives them out, not the MPAA.

But yes, if you win an Academy award today, it isn't actually yours; it's on loan to you and has to be returned to them when you die.

The Oscars given out before WWII don't carry those restrictions and can be sold, as in this case.

Most badass Oscar ever:
