Keppinger with a home run. That don't happen often.

Way to work out of a 1-2 hole Kev.....beauty.

It's kind of funny that you posted that. I was actually hired to be in a video once, playing cello, and the video director had us kind of mimic the look of the Addicted to Love girls.

 

High on my bucket list is starting a Robert Palmer cover band and getting a permanent gig in Vegas.

 

Maybe you could be in it?

[Squirrel]

I hate listening to Hawk when that happens.

[twinsnorth49]

So if you had to be on a desert island in the 1980s and had three choices, which of the following three options would you select:

 

1. Julia Bolino

2. All of the Robert Palmer girls excluding Julia Bolino

3. Phoebe Cates

 

???

Phoebe Cates circa Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Dancing with a Cello would have been harder.

****.

[snepp]

Heartburn.

 

I win.

 

 

 

And by winning, I actually end up losing. That'll teach me.

[Willihammer]

Just as soon as Bremer says "the White Sox are scoring like the Pirhanas used to!" they hit a couple moonshots.

[Winston Smith]

I feel kind of silly doubting Correia would give us a good start.

[GCTF]

Pitch to contact makes me run to barfbag.

It was kind of funny ... they wanted me in this tight skirt (think spandex mini skirt) and I'm like, uh, hmm ... how do you expect me to play the cello? Not that it mattered because I wasn't really playing, but they wanted real string players so the 'faking' was realistic. Anyway, they ended up putting me in something else. But hair and make up ... think Addicted to Love.

[twinsnorth49]

Corriea still at BP

[Squirrel]

So much for my relaxing evening at home watching the game.

I usually projectile to contact. The contact keeps my upchuck count down.

As close as I can get:

Thats a good question... Julia is out... Too much lipstick. If you spend anytime kissing her you'd look like a bad horror movie afterwards.

 

All the Robert Palmer Girls? With that much lipstick... You might as well be resigned to it and take it out as a factor in your decision. Then the question becomes... 3 girls on a desert island? It sounds wonderful until reality sets in... It won't take long and you will be mowing the island...fixing the grass hut... Three times over.

 

So yeah... Phoebe Cates for sure... If you grew up in the 80's like I did... Phoebe Cates was the most amazing thing out there. Hopefully... She likes my jokes or its gonna be a long time on the island.

Poll is invalid without rally monkey option.

That is my favorite music video of all time. Did you keep any pictures?

[Squirrel]

Yeah, no kidding. Without Rally Monkey, there is no option for me.

[GCTF]

Charge the mound!

They were supposed to send us still shots, but never did. And not sure what happened to the video ... supposedly VH1 picked it up, but there were some issues with Warner Bros. so I'm not sure it ever aired.

That is a very well thought out response. Another good thing about Phoebe Cates is that 30 years later she is still amazing.

P.S. -- if you have never seen the movie Paradise, you have to order it from Amazon right now. The Phoebe Cates shower scene is the best scene in the history of cinema, especially when played in slow motion.

[Riverbrian]

Ok... Deserted Island... The rest of your life...

 

1. Rally Monkey

2. Ted Danson

3. Yo Yo Ma

Nice half inning at least we ran his pitch count up, the little things!
