I once saw an ad for a club concert for two bands – Slug Dick Nick, and Fuck You Spaceman.

Now that’s a kick-ass twin bill…

OK, you’re right, he’s most known for his Sledge-O-Matic. But, that’s the last 10 minutes of his routine. The other time is attempts to poke fun at the silliness that is language.

Nah, Gallagher’s “big schtick” was smashing large fruit with a giant mallet.
That was one front row Uecker didn’t want to be in.

As long as we’re being detail-oriented, it’s Greg Kihn, not “Khin.” He’s a DJ in San Jose these days, and has also published several novels.

The best shape of Franklin Gutierrez’s life apparently includes a torn pec muscle. At least he’s over the irritable bowel syndrome.

I thought it was a Gallagher skit. Either way, Gallagher’s big schtick was weird observations like that. What if you lived at the end of a one-way dead end street? I bought dehydrated water, and didn’t know what to put it in. Where does your lap go when you stand up? If a ducks eats before going in the water, does he get cramps? That sort of thing.

Any love for “The Swollen Members”? I golfed a round with those guys once. Yep. 18 holes with a Swollen Member.

Why do we drive on a “Parkway” and park on a “Driveway”?

How did you get Gallagher out of a fabulous George Carlin riff?

CUR, you are absolutely right about T2. Now as to the SE thing, you may need to cool it. My wife picked it up and she is using it.

Someone with too much time on their hands and ZIPS projections–how much better is the BSOHL team than the Twins?

Chris, you and Sue Ellen are forgetting the Terminator movies. T1 was awesome. T2 was awesomer (the others did not happen). However, the rest of your logic is impeccable.

Chris, I will concede your point that #2 was a sequel, and that it stood much taller than #1. (I thought #1 was ingenious, but maybe just a bit too much of a stretch of the Batman origin story). But in #2, Christopher Nolan showed a deep insight into the character of an obsessive misanthrope who becomes a crazy (if high tech) vigilante. Think of real life and ask yourself how such a story could ever end happily. And that was why I felt that there not should be a #3. Batman would always destroy himself in real life, and the only question left was whether it could be done with some grace or reference to a higher goal. And he pulled it off with that movie.

As heartbreaking as it was, it had a symmetry for me. And it should have been left that way.

But my grandson and I will still be there for #3.

I don’t see where either team in the one game playoff will have any type of complaint if they lose that game. Maybe if the Braves win like 98 games and come in second to the Phillies this year…then lose to an 84-86 win team…maybe. But for the most part, there isn’t more than a 5 or 6 game difference between 4th and 5th…and last year was only one game for both leagues.

ps I love the Nats this year. Took them big on the over in Vegas and I got in at 80.5…now I have seen it as high as 83. I just hope they keep SS around all year.

But The Dark Knight was a sequel itself. If you had seen Batman Begins and felt that way, then OK. But seeing part two and saying it didn’t need a sequel is kinda silly methinks. 99 times out of 100, the sequel isn’t as good as the original. The Dark Knight was one of those times where the sequel was better. I’d also propose that Aliens was better than Alien and Godfather 2 was better than Godfather. That may be the list.

If the Nats knock the Cards out in a one-game playoff this year, it will be poetic justice for last year and ’06.

I spent many long, dark hours searching for meaning and happiness in a world that seemed uncompromising, unforgiving and indifferent to humanity.

In fairness, us Orioles fans complain more about our team than how unlucky our lot in baseball is. We know the O’s arent hurt by the Yanks/Sox/Rays/Jays as much as the squad is decimated by upper management.

Oh. Sorry for the misunderstanding, then J5. It seems if given the chance to consider Hervé Jean-Pierre Villechaize and Two Hot Chicks Gettin’ All Friendly Like, my mind automatically jumps for the latter rather than Hervé Jean-Pierre Villechaize. Something must be wrong with me. I’m going to go run in the cold with my dog till I’m working properly.

Yes Cur, wrong one. The two hotties you are thinking of weren’t born when The Wrath of Khan came out. I was only in second or third grade myself come to think of it….

By: cur68

cur68 — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:43:55 +0000

And I see it the exact opposite, J5. The anticipation of Tatu doing anything (except singing: can’t stand their singing) is worth the “A” grade…wait, wrong Tatu?
