Makes me wish there was a handy teleporter :teleport:

Methinks that you are not alone in that assessment DB.

:)

Dang..... now I can't get osuche's lips out of my fertile mind!!! :x:

Whiskas Purrfectly Chicken cat food smells eerily like La Choy Chicken Chow Mein. :yikes:

* Note to self: Never open a packet of Purrfectly Chicken for the cats if I'm really hungry and have had a few too many beers. :p

don't knock it. i knew a bag lady when i was in highschool, used to talk to her on the bus and throw her a few bucks from my allowance now and then - she ate cat food 'cause it was cheap and nutritious

I think this is the greatest speech in movie history: "Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come. " ~ James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams.

I confess that poor Neige is missing the place, and you all
and her computer is much sicker than thought
it is not the power chord but the connection to the computer
we're looking for new ways to get her connected

Sorry to hear that ^^^^^^^. Wish I knew how to help.

we miss her too.

love that speech too....2 from Bull Durham I like as well:

1) Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

and

2) I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring... which makes it like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career. Making love is like hitting a baseball: you just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250... not unless he had a lot of RBIs and was a great glove man up the middle. You see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds. Sometimes when I've got a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman to him, and the guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen. 'Course, a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay. I make them feel confident, and they make me feel safe, and pretty. 'Course, what I give them lasts a lifetime; what they give me lasts 142 games. Sometimes it seems like a bad trade. But bad trades are part of baseball - now who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for God's sake? It's a long season and you gotta trust. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.

The following is entirely too close to being a reality!

Ordering a pizza in 2010

I thought you could order a pizza online now. I can't remember what tv ad says it.

I can order pizza online for about 5 local places...including Pizza Hut

I don't think they got the ^^^ message, IM.


We may be closer to that than away from it. :yikes:

Ya, I got the whole info thing but was thinking of the other too.

Ii need to go to the grocery.

I was reading IowaMan's Field of Dreams post, and I too immediatly thought of Bull Durham, too musicman. I was thinking of the first one you listed, thought. Yeah Annie's speach is nice, but Crash's just seems to resonate with me, well it does more than Annie's till the last line of hers.

Crash's speech just always gets to me...the love of baseball is just overwhelming, especially this time of year.

I arranged to get a birthday cake and candles to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight

I think I'll have a couple of hot dogs for dinner. Pretty exciting huh?

To quote Charlie Brown, a hot dog's just not as good without a baseball game in front of it...

^^^ Very, very true! :nod:

DB's avatar today makes me hungry for the pork chop sandwiches they have at the ballpark there in Peoria. :slurp:

We nixed the morning bike ride and I am bummed.

I am gonna make candied bacon ice cream.

:D

I absolutely have to know exactly what candied bacon ice cream is. :shrug:

This is the recipe I am following. I've got the candied bacon made, but the cream I had in the fridge was sour so I'll have to wait til tomorrow to make the ice cream.

Oh wow Neige, that looks great! That's something I never would've even thought to try!

It really sucks to work for 8 hours at a huge convenience store when the debit/credit machine is out and all we can take is cash. People were losing their freaking minds! :hair:

I'm not looking forward to jury duty this morning. :(

I was going to start my outdoor walks again this morning but it's pouring rain....

I wanted to go out walking again but I had jury duty. Now that I'm home ... it's pouring rain here, too. :(

Maybe later this week.

We had rain today too. So now my fingers are blue cause the blue marker ran from the rain on kiddo's package.

I really appreciated the librarian pretending I had all my books that were late... She renewed two of them even though I had them here at home, saving me a dollar :D

I'm off to work.

See you all in 10 hours.

I used to think Bill Gates was Satan. Now I believe Bill is the guy that runs into the 7-11 to get Satan a pack of smokes.

roflmao^^

Never leave Cup O Noodles to do its thing after pouring in hot water while you go take a shower.

It's alive?

I'm contemplating getting some new appliances via CL

craigslist is great (CL I presume)
I've gotten my computer, my old digital camera, several bikes, a few roomates, my couch, my washing machine, my ex-GF, a skateboard, and probably a few other things...

It looks like we're going to get some rain here soon.
