Fitz?

Baseball!

Hi suzanne

batter up!

hey ct
how ya been felix - haven’t seen ya in a while

So, what’s your take on Roger Clemens?

sucks!!!

sorry, couldn’t resist

Heh, my BoSox in a Split Squad showing against BC and NEU scored 39 runs and the pitching gave up no runs…! My Champs are back in the saddle…! *g*

FTFY — thanx for the reminder, Suz

liar liar

I never pay attention in the off season, and not always much during the regular season, so … did the Astros do anything to shore up their pitching for this year? Oswalt is only one guy …

what do you think this is - a sports blog (wink)

FTFY — thanx for the reminder, Suz

Dang Skippy! FTFY!!!

And Clemen’s career seems to be in jeopardy! ;-)

uh, as Suz just said- liar. I used to love Baseball. Was gonna abbreviate that as BB, but I then realized someone might think I was saying something about the other “BB”.

Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark!

FTFY comes, of course, from Gilly, RIP. TGNB has been doing a fine job of keeping his vision going and they have FTFY in their sidebar.

I’ll behave Suz, it’s your thread…! 8-)

I’ve never been a fan of baseball. I wasn’t really exposed to it as my parents are from a soccer obsessed country and then I went and married a guy from yet another soccer obsessed country. I finally broke down and went to a game with some friends a few years back and the best part was the hot dogs (pre-raw food days)

i was teasing ya CT - such a fine chain ya had danglin there and i could not resist yanking on it.. i did do a (wink)

hmmm garlic fries

Cool, I do like the fact that Joe Torre is wearing Dodger Blue…! ;-)

oh and the peanuts. i gorged myself silly

Hey CT, Suz asked me recently and I couldn’t remember the details…what was our deal last fall?

You guys think you are sooooo smart. Well, then, who is Carl Spackler?

hint: not baseball

I thought it was spring training opening day, CT, and the boss man said he thought it was opening day of the season.

Please remember who put up this wonderful cartoon for you ct when you answer (/s)

Mary is watching HBO!

I fess up to my ignorance and laziness not to use teh google

But it’s still sports. :)

I’m alright!!

Aww, ya would have to intervene… Opening Day, when My BoSox play the Athletics in the Tokyo Dome…! 8-P

Carl Spackler is the grounds keeper in CaddyShack. He is my alter ego.

CT, are you saying that this post is suffering from a premature posting episode and should not have gone up for several weeks?

fork - dang it - RBG was right and I was wrong. fork.

caddy shack?

I thought it was spring training opening day, CT…

that’ll work for me, Ma Cheri!

…so do we declare peace on your thread?… *G*

ahoy slobs

Suz - if I use the word “base” and the word “ball” in a comment, is that considered a “sports take?”

Just cuz she’s wrong doesn’t mean you get to renege ;>)

but i’m not into baseball–excpet wrt to the Yankees and the BoSox…i like the antics of players and officials…

Hopefully! 8-)

CT, yes, I remember some negotiation as to which date it would be. And, I go with the Suz/ Boss Man final take.

And, if I tell you to back off on BB, then that is what you should do. Still awaiting the avocado pudding recipe. ;)

wrong.. fork, does that mean this becomes that which we can not mention for another month?

baseball isn’t my thing so I’ll go read a bit.
you all have a good one.

boa noite

wobbly, off topic is the topic - what book are you reading?

In the words of Jean-Paul Sartre “au revoir monsieur gopher”.

What was it you told Thers earlier about it was his post?

Suz- do I need to come up with an OT topic?

Oops! Yes’m, sorry about my senior moment on the recipe! I’ll refrain until gametime… A momentous occasion indeed, a series of games that actually count towards the record that have been played on foreign soil, other than Canada…! 8-)

since i don’t parley vue - does that mean you are saying g’nite?

“It’s in the hole! It’s in the hole!”

fork - busted again

Oh, I don’t want to disturb the baseball vibe *g*

The book i’m reading is an old brasilian classic by Jorge Amado, Gabriela, Cravo e Canela

nope

http://www.carlspackler.com/sounds/156.mp3

You are such a hoot!

One does what one can.

Well, there was a pretty lively discussion w/ Thers on the last thread about Jane Austen.

And also, somehow it got into detective novels… ;) (oh, wait, I can explain)

woohoo - unka sherman is back and dirty boogie is back on the pig

Love ONE

*g* sorry i missed the thread but hubby was playing some new mixes for me (he dj’s on the side)

Recently read “Daughter of Fortune” - Isabel Allende. Just is case this is a BB (best books) thread. ;)

VG, I can’t reference the exact recipe, but, an eight inch graham cracker pie shell, 1-8oz package Cream Cheese, three medium avocados, enough for a two to one ratio with the CC… a little lemon juice and 1/4 cup Sugar… Blend well and dole into the shell, then chill for at least two hours!

drooling…

Mostly lurking,it’s what I do best.

I used to see Isabel Allende sometimes in San Rafael. She lives there.

CT- okay, thanks. I will adjust according to my tastes. I’ll use the CC and avocados and lemon juice, but leave out the graham cracker pie shell and the sugar, thanks. Really, CC and Avos sounds like a great combo.

I got lost in YouTube, looking for the Duckman on baseball. The artist was my college boyfriend. The guy I should have married…

Wouldn’t trade my daughters though.

It is really good! I lived on an avocado farm when I was a lot younger…!

nice to see ya poke your head outta the lurk hole and come up for air.

OK, Who knows “Ride with the Devil?

Hi Felix. Me too (lurk).

A little honey would work too, it needs a little kick of sweetness…!

this ride with the devil?

Toby, Skeet, Jewel Kincher, etc.
Good film.
:-)

Oh NO!

head hanging in shame and glad i asked it as a question

Oh Yes, such a great film.

Mary- I first bought “Daughter of Fortune” bec. of what I read on the book jacket about the tale ending in CA during the Gold Rush. But, I ended up being totally captivated by the story and the prose. She really does have a way of creating a sober kind of magic, with stealthy sensuous prose. (hehe.. my alliteration quotient for the month…)

Suz, I will always love you…

thanks christine e - can i come out of the corner now?

I was surprised to see a very good film about the Confederate side of that war. Ang Lee. I should have known.

what were you doing in the corner? It’s your post!!!

uh ah well, uh, cleaning?

We are watching “Ride with the Devil” Ouch!

“Plot Keywords: Breast Suckling and Breast Feeding” Huh…? ;-)

You’ve cleaned enough, young lady.
Sit! relax! You want guilt? I’ll give you guilt. The gift that never stops giving. ;)

You are so bad.
But yeah.

Good morning Suzanne.

Baseball I can do, this I only wish I could…

Hop, hop, hop!

Was at Festivals des Lumières in old Montréal, an hour ago, the thing goes on all night. Here are a few pics I took.

http://picasaweb.google.com/pi.....21l5t0efyI

did you get my EPU’d comments last thread…

Aww… I may have a predilection, but, I’m certainly not bad…! Bwhahaha…! *g*

Nice pics. Look cccccooooollllllddddd.

Ang Lee is quite amazing. Harking back to the last thread, aka the Jane Austen/ Thers thread, he directed Sense and Sensibility. At the time I was bowled over by how someone who was from a totally different time and place and continent could have such an acutely accurate interpretation.

I did not. Send it to me now, Biodun.

my real estate agent does guilt much better than that margot (laughing)

Yep. As we were talking about “Ride With The Devil”, for someone from that distant culture to bring great vision to a Civil War tale… Amazing.

Nice pics. Look cccccooooollllllddddd.

Thanks Mary. Not that cold, about 22f. A bit of wind closer to the water, but, nothing a healthy old man like me couldn’t handle.

While we are harking back to the last thread, I did not see any responses to my question re: Jane Austen, “Where should I start?” Seriously, any recommendations? (realizing that there are so many books I want to read that I may only get around to reading one of hers this decade or so)

I remember a lot more illuminated ice sculptures, when I had visited, in the early Eighties… Was there many more?

fork

nice to visit but…. brrrrrr

Bonjour Biodun, isn’t it time for un petit déjeuner? Croissant, café et marmalade…

Emma

first one

Second one

your question: will it work there–depends on said laptop, year, whetehr it has integrated wireless for hotspot wifie , and so on.

eminem

i had the petit dejeuner at 1:15 AM Paris Time…

I would love to speak French. But as I don’t… Please translate.
Thanks.

without me

petit dejeuner-little, tiny breakfast

*g* Eminen–the white rapper? Not exactly Jane Austen’s cup ‘o tea.

neuro- “Where should I start?” Emma would be my first rec. Emma as a character is so delightfully wrong-headed. The most “famous” is Pride and Prejudice, but it’s so familiar it terms of plot and characters and outcome that it would be my def. second choice.

one never knows do one?

Thanks Mary.
Miss you mañana.

Babel fish does a decent job, Newt!

BBC World Service Radio Live: Israeli-Palestinian conflict gets worse…

like i said, double-dipping…but i probably need to step outside for that walk to Gare du Nord to get some euros, especially if i want to impress and treaty new girlfriend the exotic novelist tonight–i guess we’re both exotic…at we speak English and French..maybe I can get her a US passport after we get married…But I’m getting way ahead of myself here…*g*

more illuminated ice sculptures

Hey CT, not for this festival, that ice wall is part of a slide that goes down Place Jacques-cartier. The Québec winter fest would be the one to travel too for those ice sculpture. Always spectacular.

Biodun:
The dreaded jet lag, understandable, hope your trip is pleasurable.

Petit déjeuner is a breakfast. I’m pretty certain you get the rest.

Well, time for bed, have a good night pups.
