Jim froze in the door way when he noticed Maggie, and her 44 EE rack seated next her, already in the break room—“Jesus H. Chrizzitty Christ”, he thought to himself. Every time, without fail, that he got up from his desk to get a cup of coffee there she was—usually making love to dry handfuls of Lucky Charms. “Jim! Guess, what?!”, Maggie yelped as a couple of green clovers and yellow moons bailed out from the side of her mouth like a pair of Airborne Rangers (a lone purple horseshoe stayed behind clinging with fear to the side of her lip).
“I don’t know Maggie…its F-ing Friday?” Jim answered with Belichick enthusiasm.
Maggie is starting to grow on me, so in honor of Maggie and her two milk trucks, we’re again fluff’n up the content with a comedy that is good on its own but one that grew on me too—not like “meteor shit” though. “3 O’clock High”.
As a kid, this didn’t scream comedy. It was about 15 holiday marathons later (you should be able to find this movie on during Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years Day) that I begun to see where the humor was. Buddy Revell tells Jerry Mitchell that they are going to fight at 3 O'clock in the parking lot after school. Jerry spends the rest of the movie having a mental crap in his pants as a result. Yet, you take total stock in what happens at the end of the movie, it’s actually a very successful day, the fight aside.

For the longest time I thought Jerry (Casey Siemasko) was Bill Crystal Jr. And Buddy (Richard Tyson) I never forgot and would always remember him in other films, he must be a friend of the Farrelly Brothers, because he’s in quite a few of their projects. The whole flick has a great tone that everyone has experienced at some time in their school career: 3 O’clock is coming and your ass is somebody else’s—all the while you too have to suffer the bullshit that was the school day.
Great scenes you can find on Youtube.
1.) His effort to get detention in English class
2.) The Fight
3.) Jeffery Tambor and Hired Thug Gone Awry--I love Tambor's idea of what to do with the thief. And the "Thug Gone Awry", is the only scene that I know of that is hilarious, despite a disturbingly bloodied face to end it.
