You never know who will walk in!

So one of the girls we are using for the show is the sister of Paul Warfield.

She told us how proud she was of him and his being a star on the undefeated Miami Dolphins team.

 I told her that he was very lucky.

That they never played the Giants.

 Did I tell you lately that the Giants won the Super Bowl.

As you can see from the card, Warfield started his career w/ the Browns and did play against the Giants. I was a Giant fan and Jim Brown would put Sam Huff on his fat ass every time they played. I believe Warfield had good games against the Giants and Spider Lockhart.

Da fish suck.

I learned to call cetaceans fish from a Jets fan. They are not too bright that way. Kind of like Herman Melville.

Trooper York said...

Yes but the Giants did not get the opportunity to play the Dolphins during their undefeated season.

They would have beat them.

Just as they beat those loser Packers the two times we played them on our way to the Super Bowl. The only reason why those losers ever won one Super Bowl is because they didn't face the Giants in the Super Bowl.

You do realize that the Giants are the Champions of the World.

I used to love watching the Dolphins play. You never knew what they were going to do.

It’s 3 AM. I’m sitting in a leather chair in the living room, a tumbler of vodka in one hand, a rosary in the other, startled out of a tranquil sleep by a deeply disturbing dream.

In my dream, I am a bartender in an old-time wild-west saloon in Wyoming or Texas or some other dusty, desolate place. It’s a dark night, and windy. The saloon doors creak open. A man, a woman and a black dog walk in.

The man and woman are dressed for a cattle drive: long duster coats, wide hats, chaps, boots with spurs, worn shirts, kerchiefs around their necks. The dog is big, with dark, staring eyes.

The man says “Milk shake!” The woman rasps “Cosmo!” Others at the bar eye them warily, then slowly one at a time ease toward the door.

I turn to work on their drinks, glancing at them in the mirror on the backbar. It slowly dawns on me that the man is Harry Reid; the woman is Nancy Pelosi. I notice that the bar has emptied.

I serve their drinks and move away.

Wyatt Earp walks into the saloon. He casts a wary eye at the strangers, then walks over to the black dog, lifts its tail and leaves. Pelosi and Reid take no notice of this, but I am trembling.

Time passes and none of the three of us speak. Then Annie Oakley sidles into the saloon, lifts the dog’s tail then leaves. Her hand is on the gun in her holster. I wait for the shooting to start.

Gene Autry walks straight through the swinging doors, lifts the dog’s tail, turns and rushes out. I know my minutes are few.

Time stands still, then John Wayne saunters through the doors, lifts the dog’s tail and turns to leave. I stammmer “Duke, hey Duke, what’s going on here?”

Wayne turns to me and says “Well, pilgrim, the rumor in town is that there’s a big dog with a couple of assholes in your saloon.”

The Dude said...

So, Shouting Thomas is here after all.

The Dolphins went undefeated in 1972. In 1972 the Giants were 8-6. The Dolphins would have been 10 point favorites in a game against the Giants, JUST SAYN'

Gentlemen, gentlemen, please! This is no time for squabbling.

After several hours contemplating the Kitten Natividad photo, it occurred to me that Titus has inadvertently suggested the perfect name for Trooper&Lisa's show:

Best Supporting Tits

ndspinelli said...

ChipS, I woke up in the middle of the night realizing I crossed the line w/ the "yo mama" comment. I apologize to Trooper, you, and all those offended. My Eyetalian/Irish got the best of me. That's not an excuse, there is none...just an explanation. I can dish it out, I can take it, and I can admit when I'm an asshole.

Trooper York said...

You don't have to delete a comment on my account Nick.

This is the NFL.

Not the pussy NFL they have now where the quarterback wears a dress.

The NFL where Deacon Jones would headslap Doug Van Horn before he clotheslined Fran Tarkenton.

Chip S. said...

How many old NFL linemen do you suppose committed holding penalties against Kitten Natividad?

ndspinelli said...

Trooper, I really like mixing it up. I played baseball and football. I would often play against good friends and would play harder. I was a pitcher and not averse to drilling a friend if he was smirking or crowding my half of the plate. In football, I played against a good friend every year, he went to one of the public schools and was a good defensive tackle. He was bigger and better than me but I played him pretty even. We had pizza after the games.

Fast forward to my career. I battled on the witness stand w/ some good Public Defenders who were friends. We were friends because I was tough but straight. They knew I would not lie on the stand to get a conviction. We would have a beer or 10 together after the trial.

I enjoy ballbusting. But, I cherish intellectually honest debate. The former is very easy w/ you. The latter is not.

Troop! Switch your comments to "embedded" so we can subscribe again!

The Dude said...

RIP Davey Jones - dude you were way too young to be on the last train to Clarksville.

ndspinelli said...

I suppose a Davey Jones Locker comment would be in poor taste.

Never did like the Monkeys, but he did die too young.

Titus said...

I shot myself up today.

It's getting so easy.

It's a snap.

I feel super, testes are full of testosterone.

I am crazy horny.

And I have been blowing some of the largest loads I have ever had. Totally over the head. I talking major shooting.

tits.

chickelit said...

Keep it up Titus and you'll whack your balls off!

'roidal atrophy!

ndspinelli said...

Titus, Can you hit the ceiling?

Titus said...

I live in a loft spinelli and my ceilings are like 30 feet high so no, definitely not hitting the ceiling.

Blake Gottesman, George Bush's Assistant, is moving out of the building. His unit went on the market last Sunday and he had 3 offers above asking price.

The Real Estate Market here is very good. It's because the fag realtor, who lives in the building, said it is a "transient" hood and Harvard and MIT bring in people with big bucks. And biotech and health care and high tech and venture capital and rich international students.

Blake is moving to The South End, which I used to live in my younger years. Blake went out with one of the Bush girls for awhile-I think Barbara. He is hot. But The South End Blake? Why, it's totally gay. And his parents, who are from Texas, have a fab home in Kenneckbunkport.

He still has US Plates on his mercedes.

I let him use my extra space cage in the basement for the last 3 years for free. Who said I aint bipartisan?

tits.

Titus said...

Look him up on Wikipedia.

He's hot.

Titus said...

Sorry he was The White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

He was Reggie Love to Obama before that.

He got accepted to Harvard Business School without receiving an undergrad.

Can you say Affirmative Action.

Go Harvard!

BJM said...

I'm just gonna lob this in here for fellow DA fans...cuz the real Cora turned up in another Fellows film.

I've been wallowing in bed for a few days watching DVDs...long story short...In the "Gosford Park" commentary by Julian Fellows made in 2002 and he imparts an interesting factoid near the end of the film as the camera passes by Cora's portrait in the stairs hallway. Cora Colgate, widow of Samuel Colgate of toothpaste & soap fortune, saved the Byng family with her fortune.

The peerage must twitch every time he writes a screenplay.

chickelit said...

@BJM: Thanks for that Palmolive-hued tidbit of info.

"you're soaking in it, Madge!"

Wallowing in bed? That's unbecoming! Where have you been, BTW? :)

chickelit said...

I've seen Gosford Park a couple times and even watched the commentary, but I don't remember that. Maybe time for a rewatch.

chickelit said...

@BJM: "A Room With A View" was the first film that I saw Maggie Smith play that role. I didn't even see "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie" until a few weeks ago.

Titus said...

We are staying in Mystic, Cunt this weekend.

Never been there before.

Supposed to be kind of cute.

Chip S. said...

Interesting tidbit, BJM. The Wiki says that Cora's late first husband's grandfather, who started the soap company that became the basis for the family fortune, was an English farmer who emigrated to the US in 1798 as an anti-monarchist who sympathized with the American revolution.

One lousy century until his social-climbing granddaughter-in-law used the loot to buy her way into society by bailing out a British aristocrat.

Chip S. said...

Never been there before.

I was pretty sure you hadn't been anywhere near one.

They're all pretty mystical.

BJM said...

@chickenlittle

Our household is down with whatever-the-fuck-this-nasal-drip-hacking-cough-thing is...our PA has it too...nuttin' we can do but ride it out and wallow.

I watched the Altman commentary, but not Fellows...I recommend it.

Did you see Smith in "California Suite"? Most of it doesn't hold up, except for Smith's splendid performance that ironically won her an Oscar for her portrayal of a past prime movie star/Oscar nominee. Another fav is a monolog "A Bed Among the Lentils" from the '87 BBC series Talking Heads.

chickelit said...

@BJM: Didn't see "California Suite." The cast looks pretty good. I just added it to the queue.

The Dude said...

Yeah, anything with Jane Fonda in it has to be good.

Pardon me while I hurl.

chickelit said...

Ooops! I forgot. I'm supposed to hate any and everything she's touched. And boycott it too.

The Dude said...

No, but I tried to watch that mess the other day and she is just hideous.

It is okay for others to enjoy the work of a traitor and want-to-be killer of American pilots, a woman who regrets not fucking Che, but I would rather eschew her work while she chews on her commie pals.

I would rather not.

chickelit said...

@Sixty: It is possible for me to watch something she's in and still intensely dislike her. That happens a lot to me--e.g., watching the Oscars or many shows that my wife watches.

The Dude said...

As I tried to say, to each their own.

As hideous as she was, she was not the worst part of that movie for me.

Anonymous said...

BJM, my grandkids have that virus too, poor miserable little ones. Flu is late this year.

Thanks for the heads up on Gosford Park, watching it in a few minutes. Interesting about the Colgate fortune heiress.

blake said...

Critics were pretty crazy about "California Suite"--like they were about everything Neil Simon--at the time, but I never saw it as more than mildly amusing, and somewhat vulgar.

But I'm not a sophisticate. It's probably a Manhattan thing.

BJM said...

@Allie

Poor things...it's pretty miserable stuff. Everyone has it in the Bay Area. Our ENT said that it's viral sinusitis and all one can do is take a decongestant, rest and wait it out.

Gosford Park and Age of Innocence are my go-to movies when I'm sick or can't sleep.

Another well done film and Fellowes screenplay that I quite like is "The Young Victoria".

BJM said...

@blake

Only Smith's peformance is worth watching, the rest is smug crap. I didn't think much of Fonda before she became a commie traitor, she always struck me as a vapid Hollywood brat trading on her father's name and/or Vadim's alledged hipness. Uck.

Simon is too-clever-by-half...the only film of his that I have is "Murder By Death"...a great cast...although the butler & cook schtick becomes tiresome.

blake said...

Heh. I had forgotten Jane Fonda was in it. I only remember Dame Maggie and Walter Matthau.

I liked "Murder by Death" but it had an almost Woody Allen level of creepiness to it.

Herbert Ross didn't really go out with a bang, huh? I guess directors typically don't.

Anonymous said...

BJM, I loved The age of Innocence and The Young Victoria. Got dis distracted and didnt get to watch Gosford Park, will catch it tonight.

Good luck Titus dear, no angst should furrow your brow, I'm sure you will do mahvelous dahling!

Davy Jones now Brietbart. Damn.

ndspinelli said...

Titus, Growing up in Ct. all students went to Mystic for field trips to the historic Mystic Seaport. I must have gone 5 times. Mystic was also the setting of Julia Roberts first pic, Mystic Pizza. She was chubby then and much more voluptuous. Get some good whole belly fried clams!

Chip S. said...

@EBL--I've been offline all day until now, so first heard about Breitbart from your comment. What a terrible loss.

@Spinelli--I've eaten at Mystic Pizza a couple of times. Pretty decent for non-Chicago stuff.

[ducks]

BJM said...

Yeah, Android isn't liking it either....but a reply in context is an approvement. I think.

BJM said...

Shocking news...a great loss going into the election...the left side of the twitterverse is proving Brietbart's point of who they are.

Anonymous said...

Reply! Yes most definitely a plus.

chickelit said...

I heard of the news around 6 AM (TYST) on Twitter. I hadn't been around around there in several days and suddenly--blammo--the news. It reminded me again what a faster medium it is.

chickelit said...

BTW, has Troop shown up to explain why he switched his blog over to L.A. time?

blake said...

Satisfaction pre-dates Mystic Pizza.

I never got the fuss about Julia Roberts. I much preferred Gish and Taylor. Gish for looks, Taylor for talent, D'Onofrio for...D'Onofrio-ness. As far as the Pizza cast went.
