  1. glad I got out when I did... we went witnessing way back when... but it wasn't really the kind of experiences I usually see here... we just went out and had fun... made friends with people, told them about twig... it was more of a "your life is a witness" kind of thing... none of this forced krap... but that was all 1980 and before...
  2. bummer RasCathy! everyone else... have fun! Suda, please try to keep your husband in line (if not, there's a bail bondsman near).
  3. Maybe after you and paw figure it out and bring them (the articles) over here, you can just put one of those "redirect" thingies on there so that when people go there they're taken to the page where the articles are... here!
  4. try this one on... But music was his life, it was not his livelihood, and it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good. And he sang from his heart and he sang from his soul. He did not know how well he sang; It just made him whole.
  5. WAIT A MINUTE! (checks... checks again) Nicole Kidman wasn't in Big Fish (hears buzzer) Suda, try again...

    Just as long as you don't buy the "we took action as soon as we found out" stories... it was on an Aggie friendly message board back in January or March... but he did take action...
  7. you're correct ms dooj! caldreamer... Bobby Knight+Suge Knight+M Night= plural (I'll assume you get the first clue)

    BIG OL' SLABS OF BRISKET... ranch style beans and potato salad... paper plates with 3 sections (Chinet of course) and plasticware... BUCKETS O' SHINER... maybe a few jugs of Sangria as well... Is that fancy enough? I'll just stop by Costco on the way into town...
  9. I tell ya Linzee... I don't even remember... there were 6 or 8 of us that went together on it ... I think Barbie found it... heck, I can't remember that far back too clearly, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't make it to every session...
  10. he's been away for quite a while hasn't he? ...anyone heard from him? ...maybe he's out doing his own thing now?

    Whether "she who must be obeyed" comes or not, I can still bring a bunch of homemade pico and salsa (they taste so good when you slug back that Shiner to cool the palate!)...
  12. I loved Yogi, too... he had such 'understated' talent... but the Mick was my hero... BTW... two good books: The Mick (I think that was the title, a big number 7 on the front) and Number 1 (a book about Billy Martin). Also, as I think I've mentioned before, I think you'll really enjoy any books by Thomas Boswell... I'd especially recommend Why Time Begins On Opening Day start with that one, it'll make your heart happy... Oh... and how could I forget what Yogi said about playing left field: "It gets late early out there."

    Thanks for the "peek" Linda... I'm sure it's gotta be a scary thing to be over there right now...
  14. yeah... I third Justloafing! (psst, I'll run the new golf course)
  15. Dan Akroyd Twilight Zone the Movie Albert Brooks
  16. Somehow... for AC79... we landed a house...
  17. ...by less than a year talking doll, by less than a year... (according to your clue)
  18. The Bridge of San Luis Rey (I only looked to make sure of how to spell it, for some reason I have heard of this movie)
  19. If you get SI, there's a nice article in this weeks about Joe Mauer (Twins)... it's a good read and a good story... if he keeps on like he's started, he could be a transcendental player... (I know it's transcendent but thought I'd get in the spirit of Yogi) It's funny that you bring up Yogi, a friend of mine loaned me his book a couple of weeks ago The Yogi Book-I Really Didn't Say Everything I Said. It only takes about a half hour to read (if you take time to enjoy the pictures and the stories). I didn't know that he grew up with Joe Garagiola. It explains the circumstances around the quotes, so if you want to know them let me know (or buy the book). A few: On 'Yogi Berra Day' in St. Louis: "Thank you for making this day necessary." When workin in the backyard gardening: "The only reason I need these gloves is 'cause of my hands." After Mickey and Roger went back to back: "It's deja vu all over again." When asked the time: "You mean now?" After the '60 series they lost to the Pirates: "We made too many wrong mistakes." "Slump? I ain't in no slump... I just ain't hitting." At a White House dinner with Pres Ford: "It was hard to have a conversation with anyone, there were too many people talking." When giving Joe Garagiola directions to his house: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." On his way to Cooperstown in 1972: "We're lost, but we're making good time." "If I didn't wake up, I'd still be sleeping." "I usually take a two hour nap from 1-4." "90% of short putts don't go in." "Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel." Two stories: Gerald R Ford says of Yogi at the Gerald Ford Invitational: "I recall one year on the thirteenth hole of Vail Golf Club, Yogi's pants split. In perhaps what was the greatest nonverbal 'Yogi-ism' the crowd roared when they realized that he actually had on Yogi Bear undershorts." During an interview, Bryant Gumbel told me he wanted to do some word association. The first thing he said was 'Mickey Mantle'. I replied 'What about him?'
  20. I was gonna guess "Collateral" (it was on last night) but I don't see the "co" part...
  21. I hope nobody has a happening day today!

    we might be able to make an exception for you niKa... (how about that Rhet Bomar?) since you're not too far north... ex10 mentioned sometime in October and really anytime in October or November would probably be fine since the weather is so fair... umm... hadn't you heard? they decided to cancel Wichita Falls due to lack of interest...
