Man we were so exhausted after cooking Christmas dinner and entertaining that we only lasted through ten minutes of Poker after Dark. It has been real boring because it is a two man game tournament that wasn't much fun. Plus that Poker Brat asshole guy is involved.
I want them to switch to the celebrity game. Maybe Jennifer Tilly can play. Now that's what you want to play with don't ya think. Just sayn'
Has blake seen this yet?
ReplyDeleteI bet Blake will regale us with a story of his close-encounter-with-Jennifer-Tilly.
ReplyDeleteDarcy: How'd the cheeseball turn out for you?
Hee!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made it yet, Ruth Anne. My family gets together this weekend, so I'll let you know!
Hey my Christmas dinner was a big sucess. I was up till four in the morning after Midnight Mass making the meatballs but it was worth it. The stuffed muschrooms came out paticularly well and there was not too much guff from the breadcrumb contingent.
ReplyDeleteHowever there was an unfortunate bologana incident which I will be touching on in a latter post.
I will be posting the stuffed mushroom and simple roasted potato reciepe as well.
Sounds delicious, Trooper. I would love to have the recipe.
ReplyDeleteIntrigued about the bologana incident!
"She has the voice of an angel."
ReplyDeleteReal Jennifer Tilly fans know in what movie Ms. Tilly says that about herself.
I'm going to guess Bullets Over Broadway, but I rally don't know. Sounds like something her character would have said in that, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also really don't know. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's a hint: She says it about herself, but she's not herself when she says it.
ReplyDeleteSeed of Chucky??
ReplyDeleteOr was it Bride of Chucky?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see her in whatever Chucky movie she was in, but I know she was in it, or she was the voice of the doll...
Darcy,
ReplyDeleteYou got it. It's Seed of Chucky where Tilly (as the doll) schemes to take over Tilly (as the real-life actress) and says that line upon hearing her real-life self.
For self-deprecating Hollywood humor, that movie is severely overlooked. Starting with Bride of Chucky the whole thing's turned into a kind of gory chucklefest.
Ahh...you're making me want to see it, blake.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Tilly is a great sport, clearly.
There's no real need to bother with the first three, which are pretty standard killer doll stuff.
ReplyDeleteSee Bride first, then Seed. But not if you're squeamish because there's still some over-the-top violence. (Of course, IIRC, you mentioned watching Last House on the Left....)
I'll just sneak this in here for all my Irish or part Irish friends, sisters and brothers. "Hey if you're Irish, I'm doublin'"

Top o' the morning to ya Meade! (I'm not even Irish) enjoy
ReplyDeleteAnd this one goes out to Trooper York.
ReplyDeleteOh! Fantastic music, you guys. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd blake: Yeah, I can take most of the sci fi gore, and this kind of silly stuff. It's the stuff I mentioned to you on your blog, and the realistic, human violence that I don't really tolerate well. Depends on how it's done, though.
I'll check these out. Thanks.
Thanks, chic. Irish is at least partly a state of mind, my friend. So you are cause I say you are. Ha! Cool Pogues too - perfect fits - both tunes. Thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteEh Meade, stiff the jerk, jerk the stiff. I passed on that.
ReplyDeleteCan't I just blame it on my Tourette's?
ReplyDeleteI am so resisting a smart-ass, off-color riff on the title "Seed of Chucky."
ReplyDeleteCareful Reader--Blake's been kind of sensitive here lately.
ReplyDeletelol, cl
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's me. Mr. Sensitive.
