Hey I thought Meade was the Cincinnati Kid?


[Shooter's wife Melba is altering a jigsaw puzzle piece with a nail file]

Shooter: Melba, why do you do that?
Melba: So it'll fit, stupid.
Shooter: No, I'm not talking about that. What I'm asking is... do you, uh, have to cheat at everything?
Melba: At everything?
Shooter: Yes. At... solitaire. I've yet to see you play one game of solitaire without cheating. Melba: So what?
Shooter: Look, you're just cheating yourself, don't you understand? You'll be the loser, no one else but yourself!... You've ruined the puzzle, now, that doesn't go in there. [She forces the altered piece into place]
Melba: Does now.
The Cincinnati Kid, 1965)

Have you ever seen 'The Villian'?

Ann Margaret, Kirk Douglas and Arnold Swartenegger in what has to be his first role.

Funny as hell after a few drinks; a great satire, but it came out about 6 months before 'Airplane' and the whole genre changed.

And inquireing minds want to know:

Where is our Daisy Duke cheesecake?

Trooper York said...

On the way my friend. We have a lot of cold winter days ahead ya know.

Trooper York said...

We watch these poker shows every night and all I think of is the Cincinnati Kid. And say to myself why are we looking at some fat bastard when we should be checking out Ann Margeret.

Because the purpose of the insomnia theatre is to get to sleep right?

2 minutes of Miss Ann and you'll need a cold shower.

At least I do.

Ain't that the truth. I remember her with Elvis man that was smokin' and he was just smiling away.

I remember jacking off to that Bye Bye Birdie Reprise.

Ah, memories.

blake said...

What do you think, guys?

Ann-Margaret?

Or Maureen O'Hara?

Make me wanna fall on my knees and hear them angel voices.

"LABELS: HOT CHICKS, MEADE" -- Now that's some tagging I can get behind?

Merry Christmas all you porkin' troopin' yorkers!!

Darcy said...

Merry Christmas, Meade. And I said this on another thread, but Merry Christmas to all.

blake: Can I have a vote? Maureen.
And I think it's so cool that you offered that comparison!

Merry Christmas Meade.

So I heard you're certified? We'll have chat about that sometime. Thanks to my dad, I was certified before I had my driver's license. I let the whole thing lapse years ago, and no longer own any gear. I'm thinking of taking it up again as a thing to do with my son, 10, who seems to have inherited some interest.

Meade said...

Hey, Merry Christmas, chickenlittle. It's been great seeing your comments here and there over the year.

Certified diver? It looks like a great sport but, no, I must have been fibbing again. I did watch a lot of "Sea Hunt" when I was kid though.

Afraid the only thing I'm certified in is as a licensed credentialed professional blog commenter. Oh, and then there's the fact that I'm probably certifiable... but we don't need to go into that.

Meade said...

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you, Darcy. Your comments are always a pleasure to read and your good sport way is much admired and appreciated.

My best wishes to all of you for health and goodness in the coming year.

Oh, and thanks to the big Troop himself for this great spinoff from the always wonderful Althouse. You're a blast, man. Merry Christmas.
