It [plaid tie] would look good wrapped around the waist of a catholic school girl.

Would it be bad if I read this the first time as wrists ?

Either way. It's all good.

Unless your a priest.

In honor of the Florida Marlins, I give you a series of poems written back when the Marlins didn't exist.

SkyDome

The first Thing
That I think of
When I think of
SkyDome
is
Opaque
Opaque
Opaque
Opaqueopaqueopaque


The Big "A"

Seeing the Big "A"
Makes me want
to
write a story
of medium length
about a guy whose smile makes people want to hit him.


Ode to Milwaukee County Stadium

Hark! Ho!
The urinals are too close together.


Ol' Comiskey

O city of the broad pork shoulder.
Hog butcher to the major leagues.
Intrigued,
I plod to the concession stand.


Royal pain.

George Brett sits by the waterfall
Soothing his hemmorhoids.
As I gaily gouge out my usher's eyes
with my program.


Wrigley Field.

Dense foliage
Covering the outfield walls.
I can't find my medication.


Fulton County.

The place that Sherman missed.
Too bad.


Candlestick.

Jack be nimble.
Jack be quick.
Jack Clark used to play here.


Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Damn.
Sold out again.


Kingdome.

Walking past third
I slip
And
Trip
Over the roped off area
And break my tooth.


Exhibition Stadium.

Outfield bleachers
Running off
Into the Western Sky.
Why?
Bad planning.


Olympus.

The rain falls
In the dome.
No one notices.
It's raining in French.

Penske outted? (spree: A man and his Fuego, but not in, on or en it)

1) Is Hong Kong a fun place to visit, and can you easily access any other fun destination countries there? I am not talking China which seems like it would be terribly unfun, but maybe a Thailand? Whats the airfare deal liek between the countries? And how is weather in December, January? I know I could look this up but would rather hear stories if folks have them?

IMDB lists the cast for Confederacy of Dunces as having Will Ferrell playing Ignacious. Talk about a movie fucked up before the cameras roll!

The fact that Ferrell did a deranged cheerleader on SNL, and a still-frat-crazy man in Old School, does not mean he could play the multi-layered Ignacious. No sir.

Translated for those who haven't read the book: Will Ferrell could play Fringe sure, but would you hire him for the Paigow role?

John Goodman was mentioned a few years ago, and I think he would be a much better choice.

That was a good one. But only Julianne Moore can play me. And JOhn Goodman isnt available unless he goes vegetarian. He is on my death poool list. Unfortunately bc I love the man.

A couple hours later...

Now have we seen Paigow switch from one personality to the other this afternoon on the Board, or is this just evidence of Paig's love/hate relationship with me?

The proof will be in her reaction to the news that I've been on the Atkins Diet, so I've lost weight and given up caffeine.

I would like the court reporter to notate the above responses for when Paigow claims she invented "sell-by date" in two years on the New, New, New, New, New Fashion Board. Of course, she'll later broaden the meaning of the word "invent" to encompass anytime a thought first occurs to her (or one of her personalities).

I kid because you love,

Jack Manfred

I fail to see how my posts contradict eachother but then I am not sure you ever got my dry british humor.

I also note that the two paigow thing is deriviative of Thurgreed. Get your own act. Actually, you dont need one bc the rest of this post was very good. Much better than the endless Penske/ABBA/Less driven I had to catchup through. I cannot understand how I have racked up more posts than these three combined (not including socks).

Just cut out the derivative shit, and stick to your own original material. Then you may truly bc an FB all star.

And I am not impressed by the Atkins. It shows a lack of brains- like a diet of all meat, no fruit, no whole grains and few or no veggies could possibly be a good thing for any of your organs. When you get on one of those plans with a tread lightly on the earth (no animals, no processed foods), then I will be impressed. And the fat will fly off of you bc most people's fat comes from animal fat. I guess its like having a cute cuddly creature living on your thighs and stomach. But good work on the diet coke. Are you doing yoga by any chance? Men doing yoga- hot.

Been there--HK-- a couple of times. It's worth it for a few days, probably not more. It's one of Asia's air hubs, so it's easy to get other places. If you want to bang around asia, look into Cathay Pacific's All-Asia pass (I think that's the name). It's like $799 on the internet in the winter, and it's essentially unlimited flights around asia for some period (2-3 weeks maybe), as well as the flight there (which would run as much by itself). You may pay extra for some destinations, like Sydney, b/c they're further away.

Exactly, and the problem is once we've sold the film rights these bastards would give Gwyneth Paltrow the role.

Hong Kong is cool. The English roots make it easy to communicate and great shopping and food.

This is a very FB book. Author is Julie Hilden, a Harvard grad and Yale law grad. The book is about a woman journalist who engages in menage a trois and S&M with her husband. Pretty good descriptive stuff. I am enjoying reading it, though the S&M stuff is a turn off. But the lesbian action is primo.

My friends and I tried going on the Atkins diet, but there wasn't enough of him to go around. [ba dump dump]

and if so, what does it mean?

I am doing yoga Saturday, in a deep Wheel (a most intense backward bend that requires complete focus= mind clearing stuff). All of a sudden, I get that warm tingly feeling you get when you are on the brink (well, I dont know what feelign men get, but this would be the brink for a woman). At the same time, this hot and heavy image of this guy I know from my local bar, the one with the just unbearable Boston accent) comes into my mind right whenthe tingling is happening. And all I know is I gotta get home FAST. WTF? Usually the mind is clear and focused on breathing when doing yoga, especially in the intense positions of torture. I was not even interested in this guy, and his accent really bugs me.

Then I saw him on Sunday when I was taking a stroll (he lives in my neighborhood). He was behing me a few paces and boogies up to me and starts talking. And in broad daylight, he is Matthew McConaughey hot (in a dark bar, he just looke like a cute guy, but I never paid much attention besides the polite hellos bc I cant handle the accent). This tzzzzzzz tzzzzzzzzzzzz electric vibe started flowing. I tell him that it was weird to see him in broad daylight as I have never seen him outside of the bar and he said "oh, have I disappointed" and I said "no, yhou look good" and he says "so do you" and then he noted my little tattoo on my hip and then put his hands on my hips to adjust my pants which were loose around my hips. LIke his whole hands, on the inside so his big hands were on the naked flesh of my hips. What is going on here?
Does this mean anything significant? I thought I always knew when I was into a guy and this one was a turn off on a couple of levels. The Masshole thing being the biggest. Plus I never consider men at my home turf watering hole bc then you lose the bar in the divorce, and I want to keep this one. I had no idea I had anything with this guy. Did he put a spell on me? Just totally out of nowhere. The yoga thing was the most bizarre.

and I cannot concentrate at all. Even worse than usual.

But who else besides Gwyneth could give proper life to Paigow's dry english humor?

Oh, and I second the Asian air pass recommendation (several airlines offer a variation, last time I checked). If the price is close, I would pay a small premium to fly Singapore Airlines.

Hong Kong is a center of commerce, eat good food, buy lots of stuff, marvel at the tall buildings kind of place, which is great, but gets old pretty quickly. Singapore is worth a couple of days, but no more (beautiful, creepy clean). Bangkok is very cool, but not to be tackled alone. There is a lot to explore there, and it's worth getting out of the city a little bit as well. Mainland China should not be dismissed, as it is full of history and culture, if you like that sort of thing.

Of course, Japan is amazing as well, but it will blow a budget. I've had freinds who have spent serious time in Indonesia who rave about it (in a go to the beach and disconnect from the world kind of way), but YMMV.
