Try Again. Something weird happened with the last post. You're right. Clearly I'm not worthy.

Bringing this back to the original "dead or alive thread" in a twisted way, Dr. Atkins slipped and fell on the ice in NY today and is in a coma. So he probably won't chastise you for booger eating for sometime.

Okay, now I have not been part of the "Leagl as the Board's Official Lesbian" crowd.... But I'm warning you, if you steal ONE MORE PENIS it will mean war.

[spree: Stung by anti-war criticism from Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, the baseball Hall of Fame has canceled a 15th anniversary celebration of the film Bull Durham that was to feature the co-stars.]

This is disgusting.

What is disgusting? These two shameless assholes?

Because clearly the Baseball Hall of Fame is within its rights as a private institution to choose its speakers. Even more so, when such ungrateful guests have absolutely nothing to do with baseball.

Don't be so hard on yourself!! That's the only way to spell Yiddish words, as "real" Yiddish is spelled with Hebrew letters.

Careful. Paigow is sure to show up any minute to stick her foot up your ass for taking credit for what she started.

Well, at least I'm not resorting to the tried and true "assjack", assjack. oops.

Which one. If it's one of the moody Paigows, I'll run for cover. If not, I'm willing to attempt a rational dialogue.

It's been a while since I've seen II, and this may be obvious, but I think it was more subtle than just wacking Frankie. I think the larger, more ominous implication was that the Witness Protection Program won't mean shit to people who know enough about you that they can get to your family in Sicily.

To this day, I can't say a Hail Mary without the hair standing on the back of my neck.

I think you mean wacking Frankie's brother, not Frankie.

I've posed the original question to my brother, and he gave the same answer as Spookyfish: The brother's presence is supposed to let Frankie know that if he blabs, the brother is history.

But I've always felt there was more to it than an overt threat to Frankie's family members. The way Michael and Tom treat the brother is not the way you treat someone you're thinking of wacking. The brother also does not strike me as someone who would carelessly allow his safety to be comprosmised. He is, as Frankie tells us, some who "could have been real big over here".

Also, there is the way the brother looks at Frankie as Frankie exits the hearing. To me, the brother's look says, "What the fuck are you doing? This is not the way we handle things. I'm very disappointed."

I'll stick to the slightly less obvious point:

If the Baseball Hall of Fame wanted to give less prominence to Robbins and Sarandon's political views, it chose a really effective way to do that.

Does anyone else have that friend (and good friend at that) who thinks he/she is the hippest person in the world, but all other friends think is a complete dork? You know the guy: big-time tool in college (but good guy) who never scored with the ladies, but now he gets an attractive (albeit annoying) girlfriend and he thinks he's the shit. Let me give an example: he's the type of person who goes to Widespread Panic/Phish/Stringe Cheese shows and spends more time thinking about what he's going to wear than how good the music will be. Moreover, he thinks he's "hip" b/c he's going to said show. It drives me nuts b/c I know most people are there for the music and not to look good/cool and now I sound like fucking Lester Bangs...am I a music snob?

Actually, we just got off a conference call. The guy we were talking to was unfunny. Were we talking to spookyfish?

spookyfish

Really? :what?: Is that why? I always figured they brought the brother in because Frankie would be too ashamed to rat out "the family" in front of family. I never understood the whacking angle.

Huh.:shrug:

I will completely support you in your belief that no one, ever, going to a Phish concert has given more than two seconds worth of attention to their appearance.

Many of them should have, but . . .
