NFL superstar Brian "The Boz" Bosworth makes his movie debut as John Stone, the only cop tough enough to take out a gang of stone-cold killers. Going undercover, he has to pose as an outlaw biker to win the trust of their diabolic leader Chains (Lance Henriksen) and his right-hand psychopath Ice (William Forsythe).

Stone soon discovers there's more to these bikers than heavy metal mayhem. They're plotting a paramilitary assault on the State Capitol, where one of their men has been sentenced to execution. In a spectacular climax, Stone is up against the gang and on his own. And the killers soon discover that if you go up against John Stone, he'll burn you cold…Stone Cold.

Pre-order Stone Cold.

Stone Cold is violent, stupid, and over-the-top. It’s glorious.

The Boz was my Disney princess

For those who were little girls in the 90's-early 2000's... everybody had a Disney princess that was Theirs. Maybe it wasn't even your favorite one but it was the one you felt most appropriate to be on a birthday card addressed to you.

(Quiz does not include Disney princesses that came out after I was 10)

Was keeping the war conquest machine important for Macedon as a country or for Alexander's new empire in an economic sense? As in, if Alexander stopped conquering, the whole thing would fall apart in a financial-economic perspective?

Alexander's War-Conquest Machine

If anything, I think part of what tanked Alexander's empire at his death was the fact he hadn't quit conquering long enough to actually consolidate anything.

In ancient economics (which were pretty basic, relatively), short-term war (when one is winning) is good for the economy. It brings in resources in the form of booty. It also tends to favor innovation (over stagnation). The reason is that innovation is required in order to win.

So for instance, Philip hired engineers for his army (artillery), but their inventions of torsion catapults and ballistae had a lot of secondary uses. Also, his success in war funneled enough money back into the country to create a visible middle class.

But when wars drag on-and-on-and-on-and-on, even when winning, the end result is a mixture of sapping the population and not allowing consolidation. Philip's wars began to verge on that, and Alexander only extended the problem. The Macedonian (especially male) population plummeted by the early Hellenistic era. This is something Brian Bosworth wrote about. While his conclusions were, imo, overly modern, and strident ("a never-ending dance of death"), the observation itself is true enough.

There's also simply the problem of running the areas one has conquered. How much damage to infrastructure did the conquest cause? By infrastructure here, I mean both physical AND economic. Alas, our ancient sources rarely focus on these matters. Conquest was glorious. Administration was boring. I fear the modern news media's fixation on chaos (political and social) exacerbates our addiction to it. But people really want to live in UNinteresting times! (Why ancient Ur III, a hugely successful Sumerian dynastic period, is also pretty boring to lecture about.)

Anyway, Alexander's failure to fully secure his conquests is one of the problems with his reign. Partly, he just didn't live long enough. But he also had itchy feet and, I think, was only beginning to appreciate the need for stabilizing things such as trade and competent administration in the latter years of his life.

Welcome to the Bosworth diary!

While I should have started this a few weeks ago, it’s better late than never!

Our story begins on December 29, 2024 with an unsuspecting text message from Cheryl. “If anyone needs a puppy…” followed by a few pictures of the litter- month old puppies born the day after Thanksgiving, November 29th. Rachel’s boyfriend’s family had just the cutest puppies for sale. I get a separate text from Brandon to check the group chat ASAP. Mind you, I was grabbing lunch with Kelsey. I laughed it off, but Brandon was serious.

After a few long conversations about what getting a puppy would mean for our lifestyle, our apartment, and our bank accounts, we made a decision on New Year’s Day- we’d drive up to Paul’s Valley and see the pups for ourselves.

On January 5th we fell in love with “Thurston”- the biggest of the litter, but also the most well-behaved. His cute little face and white paws stole my heart. We initially agreed to talk it over on the car ride back, but something came over us and we decided to sign the contract right then and there. We did it. We were getting a puppy.

In the following weeks, we began researching and preparing the apartment for our new addition. Going back and forth on a name. How do you decide on name for anything? That’s a big decision to make, and *I* personally wanted to take it seriously. Brandon, however, was dead set on naming it after an OU legend- it didn’t really matter which one. I combed through name after name, hoping to find any sort of OU connection with the names I actually liked. Unfortunately I was frequently met with “XYZ appeared in one game as a 2nd string defensive lineman versus Tulane in 2018 with 3 tackles” and unfortunately that kind of stat wasn’t “legendary” enough. I had initially skipped over Brian Bosworth because, I mean, “Brian”… Anyways, I revisited the name and after saying “Bosworth” and “Boz” out loud something clicked. I offered it to Brandon and the rest is history.

We couldn’t pick the puppy up until it was at least 8 or 9 weeks old, but because we had pre-planned travel we picked up Boz at about 10 weeks old on February 4th at a Petco parking lot in Ardmore. Brandon and I sang show tunes and excitedly chatted the entire way up. On the way back, we had the music playing softly while Boz rode the hour and a half back to Dallas in Brandon’s lap sleeping quietly.

We got back home just in time to put him in his crate for the first time and see how he’d sleep through the night, if at all. Brandon kelp him company in the living room all night. Boz was restless, of course, but thankfully didn’t howl too much. That was something we were nervous about while living in an apartment.

The next morning we got up and started our first day with our new best friend!!!

Stone Cold [1991/Brian Bosworth] - 1080p

Hello Jeanne! As someone who has recently become more interested in Alexander the Great and has actually started reading the dancing with the lion books (which I'm loving so far) I have a question for you. I was recently given Mary Renault's book the nature of Alexander as a gift and I've been debating whether or not I actually want to read it. The main complaint I have about it (and I know she included this given the fact that she wrote the Persian boy) is that she tried to argue that he and bagoas were intimate partners in life, even though, as you argue, that wasn't really the type of relationship he had with Alexander. But that aside, I guess what I want to know is whether or not this is a biography that you would recommend about Alexander for a sort of beginner like me? I haven't been able to find many articles by historians providing any commentary on the book and whether or not it's historically accurate and paints a realistic picture of who Alexander was as a person, regardless of the fact that she had no formal education in Classics.

Sorry for the delay on this. It's not a complicated reply, I've just been swamped.

And yes, sure, Renault's biography is better than some make it out to be. That said, my chief caution would be that she adopts a lot of ideas from Tarn about him. This is not unlike my personal complaints about her novels about him.

Alexander was her hero. Ergo, she was more inclined to forgive him (and justify) things that were really quite horrible. It definitely lands on the more positive views of him.

There are some biographies I think are better, and still cheap (which I know can be an issue). Brian Bosworth's Conquest and Empire is fairly even-handed, more so than his later Alexander in the East. Lindsay Adams' Alexander the Great: Legacy of a Conqueror is one I've used in my own ATG class. Ed Anson's Alexander the Great: Themes and Issues is also reliable. All these are intended for students really, and as such, make great introduction texts. If you happen to be able to read German, Sabine Müller's Alexander der Grosse is superb.
