On her last night, one waitress grabbed some brandy that we used for saganaki on her way back out to the table with their re-heated food. She threw it down, lit it on fire, and said “Is it hot enough now?”

First thing it made me think of:

I’ve only seen the second Ferrigno Hercules; but I did it in style - 1985, in a wonderfully ornate brown-marble-encrusted theatre in Mexico City, with a middle-aged audience who kept giving me dirty looks every time I laughed out loud at the film. The friends I was with didn’t see the humor either, which made me…

Good ol’ Michael Nouri. Fun fact: After the filming, the car from that sequence was advertised in the L.A. Auto Trader thusly: “Ferrari 308, wrecked all over, best offer.”

Yes, I bet that couple would have had a snit if Jesus’s serving was burnt.

Somebody please make a gif out of this thing!

It shows up on TCM every now and then - nice sharp widescreen print. (And both this movie and the 1970 version of I Am Legend - The Omega Man - have a scene with the lead character taking a convertible and driving it out of the dealer’s showroom window. But in Omega Man, Chuck Heston ends up in bed with Rosalind…

Wonder what Sherman Alexie’s reaction would have been if, instead of Li-Fen Chou, Hudson had chosen a name like Delbert Laughing Bear?

How big a window does one need?

Very sad to hear; Parkinson’s is a rotten way to go (I’ve seen footage of Terry-Thomas late in his life with PD and he was almost unrecognizable).

And Joe Flynn! (He got up there first.)

C-54D callsign AF2469. Theories abound on the fate of this one; it’s been especially frustrating because it happened over land. Per the wreckchasing.com forum:

No, but we can try at the Dunkin’ Donuts.

Yeah, and if God forgives her for all her divorces, why wouldn’t God forgive her for issuing marriage licenses to gay couples?

Geez. I was just in Paducah last month. The town has been reinventing itself as an artist’s colony, and I even spotted an MCC church, so hopefully he won’t find quite as many followers there. Plus Lily Tomlin’s family is from Paducah - maybe she and Jane could be part of the welcoming committee.

“It feels like a punch in the mouth. Tilt your head up and let me demonstrate...”

That’s a Carly Simon moment right there (although the gender is switched).

This rates pretty high for both last week and this week.

John Waters or Little Richard?
