It Is a Far, Far Better Butt-kicking I Give

Cunningam quizzes us on famous opening lines of novels this week on The Test.  Bonuses include Stacey's ukulele aspirations and a very special guest.

I also reminisce about a related sitcom episode which many Gheorghies will remember. And I slip two clips of this episode into the show. Perhaps this is an abuse of my power as audio editor . . . but why be audio editor unless you're going to abuse the power?

The Dickens line you bastardize is a last line, not an opening line. But I guess I should listen to the podcast and you'll explain.

Who knew Trump was such a big fan of the Copa America tournament. Great use of the immigration clips.

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana

Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa... they fell in love

Has anyone, Danimal, been to Kiawah Island? Long story short, my wife told a friend I had been there and could provide some insight into where to stay and play golf. I any help would be appreciated. I know about the golf but I'd imagine accommodations might have some options.

trying to figure out if squeaky's comment is in english

Danimal said...

Aah Kiawah. Have spent much much time there. Accommodations....the Sanctuary which is a swank hotel on the beach. Top notch. Bring your pocketbook. The resort also rents condos and villas if you'd like to go down that route. They are pretty decent....but be sure if you reserve one that you get one that has been renovated in the past 5 years or so. The last option is to find a house rental. Also quite expensive. Love me some Kiawah/Charleston.

In nashvegas at the moment and just had myself a Tailgate Peanut Butter Milk Stout. With low expectations it way exceeded them. Missing you guys.

I need to stop writing comments on my phone while trying to locate my son at a school function.

Thanks, Danimal.

Clarence said...

So. Donald J. Trump is pretty much the Republican nominee now. For President. Of these here United States. I'm pretty much stunned stupid.

Welp, time for a cold one.

Burr's Twitter account is equal parts funny and sad tonight.

Dan- I think Rob is in Nashville too.

TR said...

Nashville and Memphis are at the top of the list of US cities I have yet to visit. So I kinda hate you right now, Danimal.

I think the other big cities on my wish list are Taos, Athens and Acadia State Park in Maine. And anywhere in Guam, obviously.

Seeing your hockey team give up an empty net goal with 30 seconds remaining to lose a lead sucks balls.

rob said...

Danimal said...
