MOTM - January 31, 2008

OK, so I've been away for a while and while I was gone, no one really stepped forward. Is that what I am to glean from this?
So, we'll try this grand experiment in ethanol enhanced loquaciousness again. This Thursday (tomorrow), last day of the month, etc., we will gather under the pristine white tents of the Belmont late in the afternoon to exchange deep philosophical thoughts and bodily fluids (I'm referring, of course, to phlegm-borne rhino viruses that are so in these days).
Come, bring a friend, bring a 'tude, bring anything or nothing, but come.
Discussion topics:
  • The campaign tactics of Fred Thompson and Rudy 9iu11ani and why your 5 year old nephew with room temperature IQ could have given better advice;
  • Where the smart money would be in a Ultimate Fighting cage match between Obama and Hillary?
  • Whether Bill Clinton would benefit from having industrial strength zippers on his pants and his mouth?

Something else we need to disclose is our five favorite movies of all times. I don't go for all those "good" movies with fine actors and great production qualities. No "Citizen Kane" or "To Kill A Mockingbird" for me (although in To Kill A Mockingbird when Reverend Sykes says "Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing", it always shakes me to my core).

My list includes (in no particular order):

  1. The Princess Bride
  2. Field of Dreams
  3. The Natural
  4. Quigley Down Under
  5. Silverado

Two baseball movies, two westerns and a fantasy, although every one but Silverado has some fantasy in it. Also, two movies with Kevin Costner in them and I think he basically sucks as an actor.

For Lone Star Todd's benefit, Shawshank Redemption would probably make my second five.

Let's hear your list in the comments. Peace. Out.
