Awesome, I love things that are either stolen or discarded from libraries.

Seeing as Wisconsin is a front-and-back license plate state by law, I cannot throw my support to the Fighting Pioneers in a vehicular fashion. Here is a license plate requirement map, for your education and pleasure.Martin-Meylin Middle School plastic license plate
Thanks for some great stuff, Jon!
Which brings us to the final chapter in the contest. Commenter Jordan is currently enjoying a one-point lead over the competition. If Crowded House or Night Owl come up with the connection this time, we will go to a tie-breaker, but if not, Jordan will be declared the winner of all of the box's unclaimed cards. Good luck!
(By the way, the answer to this last one will have to be exactly correct. Close will not be good enough.)

All I can think of is that one of the characters is named Phyllis. Phyllis=Phillies?
That would be the Carlton connection, by the way
Nope, but you may keep trying.
Last House on the Left - for Lefty Carlton?
I know I asked for something and I've been a flake lately...
*hangs head in disgust*
Alright, I think I've got it. It has to do with the years that both versions of the movie came out. The original came out in 1972, the year Steve Carlton won his first Cy Young with the Phillies. The remake came out in 2009, Mat Latos' rookie year with the Padres.
Okay, even if that's dead wrong, you have to admit that it could work.
Jeff, you got it exactly.
