My mom used to make corn in milk. Peas too. Pennsylvania Dutch thing, maybe.

But that’s really all Shelley Long could do. All of her movie characters are just reiterations of Diane.

Necessary is the hardest word. Does it have two c’s and one s or is the other way around or two of each or what?

Nixon played football, too, didn’t he?

I don’t see him beating Lincoln though. I don’t think Roosevelt could get inside on him and Lincoln could pelt him with jabs.

He put on a lot of weight after the war and you got to think the whiskey and cigars took their toll.

I bet Abraham Lincoln could have fucked up anybody. He had the height and the reach. He was raised in the backwoods. I bet he was tough as fucking nails.

It’s one of my favorite lines from the movie.

You know though that they’re going to win just enough games to not get a good position in the draft and then they’ll fuck that up.

Matlock

Why he’s not wearing a Jets uniform is wayyyyyyyy beyond me.

12 Angry Men is one of the greatest movies of all time and it has both courtroom drama and sports. Jack Warden’s character talks about nothing but sports and uses nothing but sports metaphors and Martin Balsam’s character was a high school football coach. So there you go.

Since when is this a tradition when a ballplayer hits his first homer? It’s funny, but I didn’t know it was traditional.

After the repulse of PIckett’s Charge at Gettysburg, General Alexander Hays and his aides rode up and down Cemetery Ridge dragging captured Confederate battle flags in the dirt in full view of the rebels. I would have loved to have seen that. But I guess this will have to suffice.

That’s the way I play it.

One neither drinks nor eats soup. One has soup, as in “He’s having soup.”

Me too, I wholeheartedly agree. I put no condiments on my sandwiches either. Once in a while a tomato, but that’s it.

The correct answer is breaded fried shimp. Everthing else is just stuff fried in grease.

I drove a stick for years in Boston traffic every day. I put 193,000 on that clutch too. You just have to know how to do it.
