Big Blue Huddle

OH BTW "Here comes fresh paint!"

"Yes, Lennman, that was true, he had a bit more to do with that. Actually, it was during his Hollywood years, when the Golden Hoofer was on the Newport Beach at a clambake, when a young USC football player named Marion Morrisson sailed in on the riptide Newport Beach was so famous for. The young man, a huge physical specimen, was hurt as he was body surfing, so the Good Doctor tended to his wounds, and sent him on his way, with a phone number to make a follow up appointment, which he never did.

Seems that the wounds were so extensive, that he couldn't play football for the Trojans anymore, so they dropped the young man's scholarship and kicked him out of school. Morrisson then remembered the Good Doctor, and went to see him at the movie lot where he was consulting at the time with his good friend John Ford.

He sized up the rough and tumble Iowan, and said "We can get you a job working props, and as Westerns are all the coming rage, a few choice bit parts are there to be had, we must change your name. Marion Mitchell Morrisson sounds too much like and English country garden sissy, we need a tough name, two first names, Like JOHN, as in my friend John Ford, and like Wayne, in Wayne Buchinsky the fighter. That's good, like JOHN WAYNE. Now," said the Golden Hoofer, "we need some way to make you stand out in the crowd. Pretend I didn't do such a good job on your leg, limp just a bit on that side, hitch your thumbs in your belt, try that." The young man seemed a bit awkward at first, but soon smoothed it out. "Just like that" amused the Golden Hoofer, "just a little hitch in your get-along!" The Hoofer took him to meet John Ford, and history was made that day, as John Wayne was soon to be a star to eclipse even the Golden Hoofer's notoriety"

"This is very difficult for me" posts the softspoken, darkly handsome man in the blue Giants tie. "As I seem to miss my friends more as time goes by. I remember the Golden Hoofer, his gentle smile, dry wit and keen sense of humor, as well as his sinister side, the adept man of action and adventure. He was always astounded when I would uncover another hidden nugget from his 'checkered' past, and would reveal it to a drop-jawed BBWC, like the fact he single-handedly stopped the Nazi's heavy water experiments in WWII, invented Milk Bones on a Hollywood set of the Thin Man, and taught Leonard Bernstein his music theories on orchestration.

Once my good wife and I went to suburban Cinncy and had a wonderful Italian dinner, repleat and lubricated with draft Peroni, and he refused to allow me to pick up the check. We asked him if he really was the BOCCI ball champion of Cinncy, but he wouldn't admit or deny it.

So as his illness was revealed by his little side trip to 'the Land of the Cleves', I returned his kindness by descending upon his house and cooking a seven course Italian feast for him and his beautiful wife, complete with mussels in wine sauce, stuffed chicken Marsala, and homemade bread etc. He got his energy up and we did an old softshoe routine from his vaudeville days, with Joni shaking it all and he just laughed until we cried.

What a wonderful person, he did MORE medicine for free in various clinics than he did at his own practice, and was in constant demand for consultation, also, with an uncanny ability to correctly diagnose difficult and rare conditions. His lifelong love of GMen extended to other fans, including us at the BBWC. He would carefully and laboriously type out his replies to others on his WEBTV screen, slowly, as WEBTv is/was. Legend has it only HIS vocabulary was dense enough to make even Painter step back. He remarked to me about Painter getting crotchety in his 'old age'; "He's old enough now to know better"

I will always miss his weekly chats on the phone, about literature and politics, art and musicks. Gone but not forgotten"

+1!   

Some friends of mine got me a sweater for my birthday. I'd have preferred a moaner or a screamer, but the sweater was OK.

I dunno where these came from, I found them on an old partition from an old hard drive on an oldm computer. If these are from someone here, thank you so much, I still smile at these simple yet 'profound' wisdoms.

It seems to be an article about who actually said what, even my fave 61 Yankee was credited/blamed.

This is worth a rerun::


It ain't over till it's over.
This quotation is undoubtedly the best-known Yogiism. However, what he really said was You're never out of it 'til you're out of it in regard to the 1973 National League pennant race.

I want to thank you for making this day necessary.
This was said at Yogi Berra Day in St Louis in 1947. It is supposed to be the first Yogiism. By his account, he asked teammate Dr. Bobby Brown to write a short speech, and he misspoke, replacing the word 'possible' with 'necessary'.

It's like d

Man calls 911 and says  "I think my wife is dead"!  The operator says how do you know? He  says "The sex is the same, but the laundry is piling up!"       
             
I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the  biggest penis that she had ever laid her hands on. I said "You're pulling  my leg." 
             
My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.  Well, she's not exactly  my girlfriend yet.

My neighbor knocked on my door at 2:30am this  morning, can you believe that...2:30am?!
Luckily for him, I was still  up playing my Electric Guitar. 
                         
Went for my routine checkup today and everything seemed to be going  fine until the doctor stuck his finger up my butt to check  my prostate!  Do you think I should change dentists? 





A farmer in Saskatchewan has  successfully grown a field of vibrators. Unfortunately, he now has a  problem with  squatters.               
             
A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking  behind my back.  He says what do you expect?  You're in a wheel chair. 
             
I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get  reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she  would like to come back as a cow. I said, "You're obviously not listening.  " 
                     
The wife has been missing a  week now. Police said to prepare for the worst. So I went to the  thrift shop to get all her clothes  back.

Awesome, Jimbo!

Same dumbass goes into a bar. Noone but him and a beautiful young lady at the other end. "Bartender, put a small shot o' rye in front of every chair between me and the beautiful young lady down there' Bartender does it, then the dumbass jumps into the next chair and quickly sucks down the shot 'thrip' then the next seat 'thrip' then the next seat ''thrip' "wait a second, there pal" goes the bartender, just exactly are you doing? You set up an empty bar with dsrinks, then you are gonna work your way through them?"

"NAW, I AM JUST GOING DOWN TO THE SHE IN SIPS"


< APPLAUSE, GROANS, THROWN BEERS>

"A guy goes into a bar. None there but himself and a beautiful young lady at the other end. He says 'bartender, send her a double on me!" Bartender says, hey, pal, she's a lesbian. "oh well, give me a couple of doubles' He sucks them down, and waddles to the end of the bar, and turns to the beautiful young woman and says "Shay, honey, how are things in Beirut?"

Just WOW!

From the wife:

    If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
             (Hardly seems worth it.)

    If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
    (Now that's more like it!)

    The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
       (O.M.Goodness!)

    A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
            (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)


    A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
    (I'm still not over the pig.)


    Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
    (Don't try this at home ; maybe at work.)


    The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
    (Honey, I'm home . What the...?)


    The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
    (30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?)


    The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
    (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)


    Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
    (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity.)


    Butterflies taste with their feet.
    (Something I always wanted to know.)


    The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
              (Hmmmmmm.......)


    Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
    (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)


    Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
    (Okay, so that would be a good thing.)




    A cat's urine glows under a black light.
    (I wonder how much the government paid to figure that out.  Why doesn't the government spend some $$ figuring out how to cross a pig and a lion??
    Then in my next life, I could come back as a lion pig!!  Not a lying pig, we already have them, they are called politicians!!!!)


    An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
    (I know some people like that.)

    Starfish have no brains.
    (I know some people like that, too.)

    Polar bears are left-handed.
            (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)


    Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
    (What about that pig? Do the dolphins know about the pig?)

    Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to, maybe even a chuckle.


    In other words, send it to everyone!
              (and God love that pig!)

"yeah yeah yeah, sure , blame me. after all we dont have eds to kick around anymore!

Now THIS is a GOOD thing!"

From my wife to youse guys, her twisted sense of humour:

While I sat in the reception area

             Of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man

             In a wheelchair into the room.  As she went

             To the receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone

             And silent. Just as I was thinking I should make

             Small talk with him, a little boy slipped off

             His mother's lap and walked over to

             The wheelchair.  Placing his hand on the

             man's, he said,

"greatest baseball team in history"
