Show B4 . MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2008 Life • THE COLLEGE TIMES Don't mess with the Drillbit ^ Luke Hickman Life editor Judd Apatow and Co. is on fire. These cinematic, comedic geeks are on a roll. Not even awful-looking trailers, like the one for their latest comedy. Drillbit Taylor, can bring this train to a halt. f\ Owen Wilson plays Drillbit Taylor, a smoothParamount Pictures talking, homeless, military Drillbit brings the kids to his homeless hangout. deserter looking for the infiltrates conveniently priced $380 former most-picked-on kid self-defense, moving cost to make a new who uninvitedly latches the school as a substitute onto Wade and Ryan when teacher and accidentally life for himself in Canada, sets them up for failure and Luckily, he stumbles they join his ranks).

Aside from The Darjeeling Limited, lately, Owen Wilson has been caught up in playing the same character over and over again, leaving nothing for surprise in his roles. As Drillbit, Wilson returns to a charming, likeable and spontaneous role, much like the work of his earlier years. If you're looking for a perfect comedy to check out, then don't miss Drillbit Taylor. And if you don't watch R-rated movies, you can finally see a PG-13 version of what Apatow and Co. are continually getting better at. SPORTSMEN'S EXPO from onstrations and exhibitors dedicated to fly-fishing. Members of the Trout Unlimited organization gave, demonstrations on tying the hottest Hies for western waters. Nearby a narrow, long pool, was used for flycasting demonstrations and competitions. Around these areas were exhibitors selling the latest in fly-fishing equipment, including flies, rods, reels and drift boats. A large number of the exhibitors in the hall were hunting and fishing lodges from Alaska. Montana and as far away as Africa. The trophy mounts and photos shown by these exhibitors were amazing. You could almost picture yourself holding a 40-pound King Salmon and smiling for a camera. That, of course, was the point. The exhibitors were more than willing to set you up for the outdoor adventure of a lifetime. For those, wanting to stay closer to home and hit the dusty trails on their off-highway vehicles, several counties from southern Utah had booths offering trail maps and details on lodging and other services. There were also retailers of ATVs, side-by-sides, accessories and hauling trailers. One of the highlights of the expo was the youth fair, presented by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The youth fair gave kids thcopportunity to catch trout, tie flies, make leaf prints, and learn about wildlife habitat, and poaching. The laughter and smiles were proof that the youth fair was a huge success. Adults were smiling, too. As they left the expo there may have been spring flowers and budding trees in the parking lot, but the attendees were smiling because they had just participated in one of the other signs of spring in Utah: the International Sportsmen's Expo. S A N S S O C K S Its a cardigan, but thanks for noticing Brandon Schelin Life writer I n 1968 Fred Rogers took off his sport coat and loafers and donned a cardigan and Keds for the first of what would be 998 times for his famed television show, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. A seemingly innocuous act, yes. Until you think about the renaissance that the cardigan has seen by 20-somethings in high fashion today. For the first time in history, the people setting style trends are the same people who grew up singing along with Rogers in the neighborhood. So was it Rogers' master plan to make the cardigan the style item of the early 2000s? To answer this question we must first learn the history of the highly versatile sweater. We can trace its history to the Crimean War, and to Lieutenant General James Thomas Brudenell, seventh earl of Cardigan. Brudenell was the "Hero of Balaclava," a battle in which 107 of the 674 soldiers under his command were killed. Naturally, he was greeted as a hero upon his return to England; and when controversy was raised about his conduct at Balaclava, he was of course knighted. And to top it all off, his signature wool knit waistcoat — that he wore at Balaclava — was officially marketed as the cardigan and began flying off the shelves of retailers in London. Now 150-some-odd years later, and after 33 years of indoctrination, the cardigan is again flying off the shelves. Why? What has changed? What has caused the stylish young people of the world to raid their grandparent's closets? I'm not saying, however, that this should not have happened - I'm wearing a cardigan as I write this. It is just rather interesting that it wasn't until now that this most versatile of articles became fashionable. Whether it was Rogers' grand scheme to subliminally convince generations of young people to wear cardigans or not, my hat is off to him for, if nothing else, making the cardigan comfortable. Thanks, Mr. Rogers. classifieds r ! Immediate Opening: Part-] time Music Teacher. $15-$207j hour.
