Yeah, but can he hatch them?

Bob,

I'm more than happy to sit down with Jeb for a screening of Cool Hand Luke, but I'll let him take care of any re-enactments of that particular scene.

Jeb: I can eat fifty eggs.
Outside: Nobody can eat fifty eggs.
BobH: You just said he could eat anything.
Outside: Did you ever eat fifty eggs?
Jeb: Nobody ever eat fifty eggs.
Sam: Hey, Babalugats. We got a bet here.
Outside: My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.
Sam: Yeah, but in how long?
Jeb: A hour.
BobH: Well, I believe I'll take part of that wager.
Outside: Why you got to go and say fifty eggs for? Why not thirty-five or thirty-nine?
Jeb: I thought it was a nice round number.

An unbelievably great scene from a great movie with so many great scenes. It was so much fun showing it to my boys once they were old enough. It was on the long drive to Northern California, so they were a captive audience. At first, they were messing with their iPods and complaining that I was making them watch this movie, but before long, they were hooked. I never said a word and just let them watch. By the end, they thought it was one of the best movies they'd ever seen. My wife knows it's my favorite movie, but I can't watch it with her because she gets so upset at how unfair it is. I haven't seen it in years, maybe since that trip to Northern California, so maybe I can watch it again with my boys. Jeb, I'll have a bowl of eggs ready for you.

Year of becoming an Celtic fan: Late 60's to early 70's. John Havlicek was my first favorite player. I became a bigger fan during the Bird years.

Jeb,

Boothbay Hahbah is a great place. I've gone on some chartered fishing trips out of there. I have to drive between 1 1/2 to 2 hours SOUTH to get there.

I live in the woods, not at the ocean but I like to visit there a couple times a year. The Atlantic is an hours drive at the closest from my home, which puts me in the Belfast/Searsport area.

Last year, we tried to get together for a Saturday night Red Claws game, but their schedule didn't provide any opportunities. Maybe this year.

not really Sam, although when i was like, 16 or 17ish and visiting a freinds house i found myself alone with his sisters overnight guest, (story is PGish), the parents wern't home and we were on the bedroom side of the house and she'd just taken a shower and entered the bedroom i was in (she was) wearing only a short bathrobe.

im thinking the kids we were visiting were out taking care of some chores that where part of a punishment they'd received and so we two guests were off the hook. anyhow she walked in with a bible and asked if i'd ever heard of the song of solomon..

anyhow, she's informed me i absolutely had to listen to her read the book, which she did accompained by what seemed like one of the most heavenly voices ever. toss in what i was sure where a few well planned movements of the hips and higher regions fo the torso and she had my full attention.

we almost got through the entire book before her freind showed up, ruining what seemed to me to be the most rediculuosly erotic events of my life despite the fact she prolly never got within 6 feet of me.a few minutes later we were playing monopoly and i was left with a great memory.

worcester,

I'm sure somebody asked you this before, but I missed it.

Who's your avatar?

by **worcester** Fri Jul 23, 2010 11:25 am

My avatar's a 37 year old Russian/Latvian woman who was my girlfriend for 3 years. She now works in Edinburgh Scotland. The boxer Willie Pep once said, "First the legs go. Then the money goes. then the women go." It wasn't quite that way with Elena, because she was too proud to ask for money, which for a Russian woman is pretty atypical. But when my finances suffered with the real estate crash, I wasn't able to continue flying to Europe several times a year to sustain the relationship, and several thousand men rushed to take my place. It was like the running of the bulls in Pamplona.

Sorry to hear that. In my experience, your comment about Russian women is fairly accurate.

I'm not what you would call a biblical scholar by any stretch of the imagination, so when I first read the story, I was thinking it must have been quite a night for Matty as a teenager, but that the girl was decidedly twisted reading bible passages while sitting in her short robe fresh out of the shower. Of course, the fact that she was that twisted made it even better on some level, but sparked my curiosity.

After reading the Song of Solomon, I now realize why I never heard it when I used to go to church as a kid. And it makes a lot of sense why she was reading it to Matty. Wow- she was either ready to go or a world-class tease. I guess it gave her some plausible deniability in case anyone walked in- "I was just reading passages from the bible!". But her reading that puts the story in a whole different light. That must have been excruciatingly tempting.

And unless I'm mis-reading things, it sounds like Solomon was on fire- having his way with a United Colors of Benetton sampler platter. Sounds like he was making sure every girl under the sun got the royal seal of approval.

Sam- I added a few things that we have on a similar thread on my Lakers board that I thought would be interesting to hear from a Cs perspective.

BSH - My favorite Laker and one of my very favorite basketball players and people ever is Jerry West. He was such a worthy opponent for the Celtics, an incredible performer and deserved to become the avatar for the NBA - which he is. BTW, I assume you've watched "The Endless Summer." That film prompted me to try surfing in Miami, Virginia Beach and Biarritz, France. What a great life then - sun, surf, and sex in the pre-STD Sixties. W

BSH,

It's interesting you listed all your favorite Lakers. I have a friend who knows somebody who can get old school NBA uniforms. He has Alex English's jersey with the old Denver rainbow-mountains design, Mike Schmidt's jersey and others and we're not talking cheap threading either. These are the real McCoys. He's a big Laker fan and is keeping his favorite Laker jerseys for himself: West, Coop, Baylor and some others, but sells the rest for extra money. He asked me who is my favorite Celtic (so he could get me the jersey). I froze like a deer in headlights. So many to choose from: Russell, Bird, McHale, Cousy, Havlicek, Cowens. Then I saw a jersey lying on top of the pile and said "I WANT THAT ONE!!". It was a Julius Erving NY Nets of the ABA road jersey. #32.

Then the SOB said "I'm keeping that one too". He's 33 years old, 6'3", 270#. Played center for the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL for a couple years (he was 330# then). Otherwise I would have punched him. So, I told him to get on the stick and find me another. I don't care it would have looked like a tent on me, it was beautiful. I don't own a sports jersey and never have, but I'd wear this one with a big shit-eating grin on my face.

Bob, Dr. J's daughter was one of my patients. He never talked with or saw her in 21 years, which pretty much continually hurt her feelings. So although he was an incredible basketball player, one I loved to watch, I haven't been able to admire him as a man.
