:lol:
Rarely do the closing credits of a film make anyone laugh out loud. In 1995, audiences enjoyed The Usual Suspects in cinemas for the first time. As the film came to end and people sat, stunned in their seats by the magnificent ending, the credits rolled and people, unusually, laughed. Unusually because the closing credits do not include humorous out-takes. The film is not a Pixar animation, so they do not even include animated and contrived out-takes. No. The credits caused mirth because of the name one of the 'Effects Crew'....

Yolanda Squatpump

IMDB turns up 4 films on which Yolanda has worked:

The Usual Suspects (which we already knew about, having howled in the aisles) 1995 - Yolanda is credited as working in the Effects Crew
Il Silenzio dei prosciutti (Silence of the Hams) crappy parody 1994 - Yolanda worked as 'Special Makeup Effects Editor'
Puppet Master 6 - Curse of the Puppet Master - (horror) 1998 - Someone called Yolonda Squatpump worked as a Music Editor. Two different Yol*nda Squatpumps working in the lower end - budget-wise - of US film industry would be too great coincidence, so let's assume it's the same person.
Murder Weapon (Crap horror) 1990. Yolanda was a Makeup Artist

A trawl of google reveals that Yolanda has been working on films which IMBD, surprisingly, doesn't list.

Dead Next Door low-budget horror 1989 - Yolanda worked as a Production Assistant. (Incidentally, this film this film contains a credit for "Original music ... created and performed on the Commodore AMIGA 500 Computer")
Horrorvision More horror. "Dez, a webmaster, mistakenly logs onto 'horrorvision.com' — a website that kills all who come across it" (horrorvision.com is actually a porn site. Be warned.) Ms. Squatpump was the Script Supervisor

Thomas has scored some superb free-kicks for the dev squad. Otherwise he's a poacher.
Eaves has had hip surgery, apparently.
Wilkinson, the less said the better.

Half-time at Birmingham. Tom Eaves scores a third-minute tap-in after a Jamie Thomas free-kick is parried. Then we concede two to go behind. Last minute of the first half, each side reduced to 10 men after a fight (Channing Campbell-Young our guilty party).

Quade Taylor's the captain, BTW.

From an 80th minute corner, skipper Quade Taylor scrambles home the equaliser. Should give him more confidence for when Wheater's sold, Prince has his loan cancelled and Dervite's kidnapped by angry fans

Their combatant was Charlie Cooper. Was Charlie Chinning Channing?

2-2 FT, BTW.

I once scored a hat-trick on those fields as a Birmingham Uni student. I was a dreadful footballer playing for probably the 2nd worst 11-a-side team in the memory of man. Fortunately on this one occasion we found the worst.

I still have the local press cuttings from when I scored a hat-rick against a side called Kelvin Park who were from down Over Hulton way. I always had us down as being the 2nd worst 11-a-side team in the memory of man. :D

Steady on. In my early teens I played in a side that lost 35-0 to the league leaders. Three weeks later (after another couple of 20+ poundings) we played them again, and do you know what happened, kids? That's right, we lost 36-0.

(We did eventually improve, even drawing a game later that season, but then I discovered the other pleasures that a weekend could bring...)
