For Michael Mann’s use of the Hockey Stick in the sea level paper – an obscure cinematic reference. Well yes, but then isn’t that kind of appropriate?
Hint: The person in the trenchcoat is “Willis”

The trench coat gives resistance to trenches. Umbrellas offer protection from sun and rain.
If we all buy waders, we will be fine.
Funny stuff!
Pure comic gold, Josh!
Shouldn’t that be “I see dead hockey sticks. I see them all the time.”? But yes saw the connection right away…sadly 30mins into Saturday already.
This is the bit.. it’s such a good moment.
Patrick, the problem is the dead hockey sticks don’t know they’re dead!
Josh, that’s your best one yet!
Simply brilliant!
Josh, that’s not obscure.
Aaron, they aren’t dead, they are just upside down.
all the time….
Which Willis is it?
I sea hockey sticks.
Icy hockey sticks!
Very funny Josh, definitely a keeper. And not obscure at all.
Brilliant! The man sees hockey sticks (everywhere) that no one else can see.
Ah, Mann and his Hockey Stick schtik. What I’ve noticed is that the bend on his recent sticks begin way before a mid-20th century timeframe (~1950), hence he’s destroying his own argument regarding cause and effect. Couldn’t happen to a more worthy researcher and all around nice guy.
/sarc off.
I see Josh putting up another good funny!!!
Thanks for the laugh. :-))

Speak for yourself! Oh alright, I don’t get out enough.
Josh, thanks for the explanation. At least I recognized the movie’s name.
Would that be “H – E – double” Hockey Sticks?
I am unfamiliar with Willis. Does he *always* sport a Michal Mann-type tonsure and goatee?

Mann is truly obsessed on this. I urge him to get psychiatric help, and soon.

I would recommend a long vacation. Or perhaps even retirement. It’s obvious the pressure is starting to get to him.
Well put Josh!
BTW, If any of you fine folk out in the sticks want to know how to build an igloo, to keep you cool from ‘you-know-what’, and you have a yen (or 3) to travel, then visit West Yorkshire, England, this Christmas. We hope to be building igloos before the end of November, and you are all welcome to have a look-see, at, I have to say, very acceptable charges.
Unfortunately, the nearest sea is around 70 miles away from where I’m sitting, which appears to be a bit quiet at the mo, but we can sort that one out once you arrive at Manchester Airport.
One small point; please bring dollars, rather than the 3 yen. We have difficulty in understanding some foreign currency, let alone foreign languages.
Steven Mosher made the cruelest pun- “Siltdown Mann” I can’t top that.

Thanks for everything. A few bicycle inventors a long time ago were told they could not fly a plane. Another good gentlemen was told he could not invent a light bulb. He learned how many times, through trial and error, how to not make a DC bulb. It took Tesla to give us an AC bulb.
I wish we could bring back all four (including both the Wright Brothers.)
Thanks, Anthony, for giving everyone a chance to express an opinion.
