Cause I said so, that's why!



Gypo Nolan: And now the British think I'm with the Irish, and the Irish think I'm with the British. The long and short of it is I'm walkin' around without a dog to lick my trousers!
Kattie Madden: Why you be giving Tina Fey a call. She'll be doing anything that one.
(The Informer, 1935)

Trooper - Where is the official apology thread for the NY Giants? You know, the NY Giants who are definitely going to the Super Bowl this year......as spectators.

Yours In Christ,

Michael H

Hey buddy look for the post with the guy crying and the sad old ladies from last night.

Just skip over the beaver shot in the bathtub if you are gonna get all religious on me.

If the Oirish could ever get past their crush on rebels they'd make the staunchest of staunch conservatives.

But they can't.

History an' all that, donchaknow.

Just a karate match coming up. I'm preparing by washing my neighbor's old cars, sanding his deck, and painting his fence.

Man I must be getting old because it took me a minute before this made sense.

Wax on, wax off.

Just out of curiosity, was I the only person that was rooting for Ralph Macchio to get his ass kicked? Man he was such a pussy in that movie. I wanted Mr. Miaggi to just bitch slap his whiney ass.

Hoosier,

I wanted to kick his ass myself.

I was deep into my martial arts training and I'm not what you would call a "natural".

The idea that you were going to get better at Karate by doing things other than Karate pissed me the hell off.

Then the bastard went and did Crossroads where he was the best guitarist in the world or something.

Pfeh.

I hope Freem kicks his ass after she's done with Fey.

Open a side business, didja?

Neither was I. I entered my first judo tournament when I was 15 and got my ass kicked by a 110lb single mother. I was inconsolable for almost 10 minutes.

If Trooper were awake he'd point out that Bass won the poll.

Darcy said...

Congrats, Original Mike!

And where has chickenlittle been?

Hoosier Daddy said...

Well at least Bass won the poll.

I think I'll have to see if I can clone that in my next home brew.

Original Mike said...

My work here is done.

Here all along Darcy, thanks for asking. :)

I'm a little dense and this thread is over my head. I voted for Samuel Smith, which came in second I guess. Now what?

Now we drink Bass and laugh at you.

He looks like Anthony Quinn

dr kill said...

He must be related to Mike Hunt. I've heard of him several times, if you know what I mean.

Trooper York said...

That's the Informer Victor McLaughlin one of the most popular of John Fords stock company. He won an Oscar for this performance.
It was rumored that John Ford kept him drunk and hung over throughout the film to give that confused befuddled sick expression.

Darcy said...

Victor was a joy to watch. I loved the banter between he and John Wayne in the movies they made. Great chemistry between them, and I start to smile automatically when a scene of theirs comes up in any movie they are in.
