“What’s happening hots stuffs” – Long Duck Dong, Sixteen Candles.
Wonderful shout out. Thank you very much.There’s something completely sexy about a shout out from a couple of mature smoker babes! : )
The citiznes of boracho URL is my personal blog. Its very new and somewhat of a mess, but it’s a work in progress. Hey if you don’t mind I’d like to cut out that shout out piece and post it on my blog for posterity.
Stennie, if you’d like to join us for a really fun drive-in night contact Dennis about carpooling or caravaning with him to our September tailgate party on the 8th in Montclair at the Mission Tiki Drive-In.
WOO! Stennie’s getting hit on!
Is the act of “hitting-on” Stennie an all together rare phenomenon?
I am completely flattered at being labeled the “hitter” but I was only extending a friendly invite so maybe the occassion could be used to finally meet old friend Dennis and the new complete stranger, Sal.
BTW… as the first complete stranger to receive a shout out from the two of you, I would like as my theme song, New Kid In Town by the Eagles.
Wrong album, Sal. I think she’d rather do something from The Long Run.
Oh really. I guess the bliss of a new stranger is over huh? : )
Well if I HAVE to chose, I was always partial to SAD CAFE.
Can I offer a fuck-off for next week? The perpetual coverage of “Diana, Ten Years Later”, particularly all the “she was murdered” conspiracy programs. There is a lesson to be learned there, which isn’t “don’t cross the secret sects within the royal family”, but is “don’t drink and drive and always wear your seatbelt”
And a you-rule to a commercial that I know is designed to access all they “awwwww” buttons in the audience, and dammit, it’s working beautifully. It’s the Petsmart commercial where they bring home a baby bulldog sister for the big bulldog. The big bulldog shares its toy right away, nudging it over immediately, and then the people take the two dogs to the store to get bulldog puppy it’s own big red squishy bone toy. Awwwwwwwwww.
And next time I get lots of Yankee Candles, Betster, I’m sending them your way. I am not a fan of smelly candles—most smells turn my stomach or make me sneeze. I have turned into that impossible lady to shop for that people say ‘what the hell can I get her? I know—candles!” It’s all downhill from here. People do occasionally ask if I have cats.
I have a huge “you rule:”
Appalachian State Mountaineers, you rule with an iron fist over Michigan.
By the way, I loved 49TH PARALLEL, but I think it features the worst performance ever put to film by Sir Laurence Olivier. I’m quite sure John Cleese was thing of Larry as a French-Canadian trapper when he was going on about turning Arthur’s castanets into testicles already…
This was supposed to post first—don’t know why it didn’t…
All right, this is an official plea/reminder to Bet to… remember the recorder… remember the recorder… remember the recorder… (fading, echoing)
Oh, by the way, I did answer your comment on my blog AT LENGTH. Unfortunately, the string looks to be quite dead, so it wouldn’t surprise me if you missed it!
I saw THE IN-LAWS one time, on a rainy Sunday afternoon in Eugene, Oregon when it was on its way out of its first run (I believe it was a study-avoidance move on my part—I was not motivated by a strong desire to actually SEE the film). It’s one that I always felt I should see again, because so many smart people I know think it is, as Max Fischer would say, “the shit.” But I just remember this vague sense of being annoyed by it—Alan Arkin in loud mode has never been a favorite, though I do like FREEBIE AND THE BEAN (go figure). Anyway, I vow to give it another try. But for now, remember, Stennie, how you don’t get BLAZING SADDLES? Well…
Might I also request some good wishes this week? I don’t know if you know this, but I’ve been going back to school since March in order to get my teaching credential (target: a fourth-grade clasroom in Glendale CA that I can call my very own). Up to now, juggling classes and my jobs and my writing and my family life has been difficult but doable. But I just got through a very hairy class, and a glance at the hellacious syllabus for this month makes me suspect it’s gonna get a lot tougher before it gets easier again. Anyway, you guys have already cheered me up as I finally listened to the entirety of #67 while toiling away here in Burbank on Labor Day (one of the great consistent ironies of my life is that I have rarely, as an adult, not worked on Labor Day) in an very well known ex-bakery (remember Martino’s?) whose air conditioning don’t seem to wanna work right now—it’s over 100 again today, as Stennie well knows! And Bet’s stories of mowing and weed-whacking and awaiting a cold beer inspired the most mundane of workday fantasies in me, one in which I could actually one day do those things myself again without having to think about a hundred other responsibilities at the same time.Boo-hoo me! Keep it up, ladies! You’re keeping at least one chin off the floor!
thing of Larry = thinking of Larry…
Jesus…
Freebie and the Bean rocks. I saw that on opening weekend at the village theater in westwood many eons ago. And Iam very sorry, but hoe exactly does one Not Get Blazing Saddles?
I love you Dennis Cozzalio
Haha! Michelle, you are now a member of a very exclusive, very SMALL club! I don’t know what inspired this spontaneous outburst of affection, but I will say that after taking a looking at Fred the Dog and seeing your enthusiasm for Glenn Tilbrook, I will swat that one right back at ya. (I just did the dishes whilst listening to FRANK the other day—Tilbrook’s vocal on “Rose I Said” is perhaps him and Squeeze at their peak, methinks.) And I liked your movie lists too. I don’t think I’ve ever admitted this (on this site anyway), but I have a stack of college notebooks in which, on a rainy September day in 1977, I logged the very first movie I saw as a free and independent college freshman, and have kept the log ever since. On September 17 of this month, I will have 30 YEARS of such nonsense in the books! It’s not of much use to anyone else, but for me it functions almost like a journal—I can remember who I saw the movies with, what we did before and after, just about anything. Worthless trivia? Perhaps to everyone but me! Anyway, thanks for the best shout-out it’s ever been my pleasure to receive, on the Internet or anywhere else! That made my dreary evening a little less dreary! And in case Bet and Stennie haven’t passed the word yet, please come and check out my house at http://sergioleoneifr.blogspot.com
Michelle, if you know Dennis like I’ve come to know Dennis, this is a high compliment indeed.
incidentally, I did a little piece on my blog on one of my musical opinions, female singers in Rock music. It’s short and sweet. Nothing special but I like it.
Okay, you know I meant Fred the BLOG… don’tcha?
