Inconceivible!

Looks like i picked the wrong time to give up Princess Bride references.

Last December, a series of coincidences put To Be or not To Be on my list of top movies. The original version of course, not that the remake is bad, though.

No, Princess Bride is awesome! My ick response was for Airplane.

[mickeymental]

 

They also have a Pork Schnitzel the size of your schnitzel.

sounds dinky.

[jokin]

Methinks you're going to hear some dissent on that 'ick".

[Riverbrian]

 

Methinks you're going to hear some dissent on that 'ick"

 

 

 

She's a dear friend of mine and now I'm concerned about how it all went so tragically wrong. 

 

I just want to let her know that I'm here for her. 

[USAFChief]

 

If you're into food nearby, Great Lakes Brewery in Cleveland has tater tots the size of your fist. 

Ummm...those are called "taters."

[Squirrel]

Methinks you're going to hear some dissent on that 'ick".

Understood. Still doesn't make you right. Only I am.

[Riverbrian]

 

Understood. Still doesn't make you right. Only I am.

 

I'm wondering if we hold the intervention at your apartment or a downtown pub. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sounds Messy

 

How do you keep the soup from running out of the Tortilla?

He said it was chilly...

 

Tortilla soup popsicle?

 

Or maybe he meant chilli. Some might think that technically a soup, yet... um... viscous enough to go on hotdogs, so tortilla would be small potatoes, er not a problem.

[Vanimal46]

No damage done! But it's going to be an early bullpen day if Duffey can't find the zone.

[stringer bell]

Looks like it will take quite a poke to hit one out to center.

[Squirrel]

I'm wondering if we hold the intervention at your apartment or a downtown pub.

 

At my place, and I'll be showing the following movies to prove my point:

 

When Harry Met Sally

Pretty Woman

An Affair to Remember

Sleepless in Seattle

Bridesmaids

Muriel's Wedding

Bridget Jones' Diary

Across the Universe

The English Patient

Under the Tuscon Sun

Must Love Dogs

The Truth About Cats and Dogs

The Lake House

Terms of Endearment

Thelma and Louise

Beaches

The Princess Bride

 

All chick flicks ... ALL better on every level than Airplane.

[USAFChief]

Anybody else catch the little back and forth that led to Bert saying "Someone will help us out here...before we get in any more trouble"?

 

Pretty, pretty, pretty funny.

HA!  Good one!!  Post of the day material!!!

 

by the way, it's "Tucson."  Not to worry, lots of people make that mistake.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I'm wondering if we hold the intervention at your apartment or a downtown pub.

There is something profoundly brilliant here.

 

If ever i have a sufficiently difficult problem or life lesson to learn, I'll be sure to hold an intervention and send out invitations.

[Squirrel]

HA!  Good one!!  Post of the day material!!!

Yeah yeah yeah ... iPad typing. Still, every single one of these movies is better than Airplane.

[Vanimal46]

Hey hey Rosario!

[USAFChief]

Two out RBI.

 

Me likee.  

 

Pretty solid AB for Rosario, to boot.  Took not one, but TWO pitches with two strikes.

Keep on throwing fastballs letter high to Centeno!!

That will have to be at your apartment. 

 

No pub is going to play these movies back to back and you have windows high off the ground to leap out of.

One at a time, or all at once?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeah i was wondering if i was allowed to comment on the lead, or should i lie low, hoping to slip it under the jinx radar?

[USAFChief]

I set the over/under at 30 minutes into "Bridget Jones' Diary."

[Riverbrian]

Pretty, pretty, pretty funny.

 

They were trying to figure out the name of the game where someone catches the bat and you go hand over hand until you get to the top. 

 

It's called who gets to choose first. 

[LaBombo]

Fun headline from Indians fan site Let'gGoTribe after Friday's game:

 

"Cleveland Indians hold Byung-Ho Park to just two home runs in win over Twins"

 

 

Park's season would be fairly astonishing even if he were not playing for a team whose last venture into the Asian free agent market produced Tsuyoshi Nishioka.

 

Watching him crush the ball is fun,   and yet it often reminds me of the line from the old Sundays song 'Here's Where the Story Ends':    "....it's that little souvenir,  of a terrible year...'

[Squirrel]

One at a time, or all at once?

Yes

[USAFChief]

 

Yes

No.

[Vanimal46]

Sano is just so athletic out there fielding ground balls.

 

Where's DiscGolfer?

[mickeymental]

at the risk of doing math in public, i'm thinking the twins are suddenly on a path to an 18-9 month.
