The "Gordon line"....
That's the line in a movie where they state the title, especially in a movie where you're not sure what the film returns to. For instance, a movie like Batman, where they said the name Batman a million times, wouldn't count.
But when Doc Brown says, "This Saturday night, we're sending you back.....to the future!" Well, that's the classic example of the Gordon line.
Hey, I want to get this on the Internet, so that we can prove I invented this term.
Popcorn squid is my new pet name for calimari. How is it NOT like popcorn shrimp or popcorn chicken?
Ah, Monday night was one of those all-time athletic accomplishments you always remember.
Like my first little league home run, opening day 1984.
Stripping a runner of the ball as he came around the end and taking it back to the house in Nov. '87 at the park before Thanksgiving.
Scoring 21 points in a row for my team in a college pick-up game in '91. (5 in the first game, then we started over so I scored our first 16 in the next game)
Monday after almost 3 hours, stealing a cross-court pass to go in for a layup, and hitting 2 deep jumpers, including the game-winner, to go from down 17-16 to a 20-18 win (play to 11 but win by 2).
It's just weird the way with the game on the line, I could make my shots as though I had a new level of focus to them. A little "get out of my way, boys" attitude....weird because I *never* shoot that much or even try to establish myself as a primary option. Plus I'd been exhausted and front-rimming everything.
Oh well, it's that level of focus that resonates after you're done....like, wow, I elevated when I needed to! Probably just one more thing I learned by watching Larry Bird when I was a teenager.
So of course, the school's closed for 2 weeks....and the next time I play I'll probably shoot 1-for-10 again.
I'm saddened to say this, but WEEI listeners are really freakin' stupid. Like a bunch of meatheads. I really like Dale and Holley because they're able to calmly refute idiotic claims. The Big O by himself isn't too bad, but he lines up with guys like Pete the Meat and worse, Smerlas....ugh. And then it just becomes a big shouting fest. The morning guys are a little snide and snotty, but at least they confront stupidity well. Oh well, I suppose we all care, and that's the important part.
Allen Iverson....any team close enough to the top isn't going to assimilate him in well. Teams he'd assimilate in well with probably suck already (like the Celtics, I admit it.) It seems so long ago he was a cute little waterbug for Georgetown. Ricky Moore knew how to shut him down, though!
2 games out of first place in the football pool. The airways are getting tigheter!
Oh wait, that's my cold. Pseudoephedrine kicks phenylephrine's ASS!
The Diceman Cometh. Thank goodness. I bet he doesn't get stuck with 100 pitch counts. Guess it wasn't a ploy to stall him from ending up in NY. Nyeah! Of course, he'd better not suck. How soon until Dunkin' Donuts makes a sushi bagel sandwich or something? Pahk the cah, as Schilling learned.
Michigan was #2, but the purpose of a playoff is to eliminate teams. Michigan was eliminated by losing to OSU. #1 doesn't have to beat #2 to stay champion.
BC wants Kevin Gilbride? Wow, how soon until UConn is the best football team in New England? Heck, how long until UMass is the best football team in Massachusetts?
I need to buy hockey tickets this season. Even if it's for a game on Long Island. Tickets should be easy enough to score....
Hoops in Oxford is going well. I take the insulin pump off if I'm on skins, but leave it in when I'm on shirts, since the shirt keeps people from pulling the tube out.
