Speaking of pigs, is there any better Sunday afternoon (Superbowl doesn't count, it's all pregame until 6pm) than the final round of The Masters? I'm going to lay on my couch and drift in and out of consciousness while Venturi and Nance drone on about azaleas and water. It's truly a perfect Sunday (the pig reference...well, most golfers ain't exactly svelte).

Off to go watch the news programs and see how life at the Fletcher Memorial Home is going.

My fear has always been Pryor would've played Bart over the top.

]]> <![CDATA[A Slight Departure From Billy Packer]]> OK, let's recap the night; Blazing Saddles=good, Blazing Saddles with Pryor=better. Lots of miscasting in Ten Comm., but that only makes it more memorable. Mich. St. rocks the college ice world, the Snorg Tees girls are multiplying, DUANs drink Kosher wine and nobody like Thornebot nor Packer. That about does it, so I'm outta here for now. Thanks for the entertainment you whacky kids, you, and for the last time,stay off my lawn.

She is an alpha though, and despite her small stature, she freaking OWNS just about every dog who plays in our apartment dog run.

Chief Wahoo

]]> <![CDATA[A Slight Departure From Billy Packer]]> If I may share a special moment with the DUANers...

I come downstairs and my dog is staring intently at the tv screen, watching some kind of puma or cheetah or whatever it was stalk its prey on Animal Planet. Not one minute later she sees her stuffed squirrel and begins stalking it like a fucking cheetah and then attacks and grabs it by the neck, a la the cheetah.

The lesson is, I'm now afraid of my dog.

Billy Crystal use to do a bit on The Ten Commandments that included an imitation of Edward G Robinson and Yul Brynner in the film. Would crack me up especially when he would do the Yul Brynner walk as Ramses.

I'm always second fiddle.

Lady Andrea

]]> <![CDATA[A Slight Departure From Billy Packer]]> @Magnolia: I don't know, I always assumed it was her, she was also grossed out by feet.


I too am a big fan of the word moist, I can think of very few application where it doesn't improve the quality of what its modifying.

Hank Scorpio-Steinbrenner

]]> <![CDATA[A Slight Departure From Billy Packer]]> @Hank Scorpio: That describes Season Two for me. Simply awful. There's still a moral ambiguity in the latter half of Season One that simply disappears in Season Two.

The Ten Commandments.

Best movie dialogue ever.

Many classic lines.

@Lady Andrea: That too! That's another one of those words that induces unhappy squirming for no apparent reason.

Cowboycane

]]> <![CDATA[A Slight Departure From Billy Packer]]> @Magnolia: definitely. I have a friend that we absolutely torment by whispering "moist panties" in her ear whenever we can. Hilarity ensues.

Lady Andrea

]]> <![CDATA[A Slight Departure From Billy Packer]]> @Tuffy:No I haven't seen Raines yet, I didn't want to get invested in a show that I wasn't so sure would stick. I also think the quality of the plots went down when they dropped the Rashomon conceit, like NBC forced them to dumb it down to compete with CSI. Okay let me explain that CSI fans, CSI is a show where you know who's guilty, the chase is in catching them.

@UkraineNotWeak: I've thought about that and I'm not sure how I would have viewed the movie if Pryor had played Bart, I will say that I always really liked that Cleavon Little played Bart straight up with the occasional knowing aside.
