My Giant, which pretty much ended Gheorghe's NBA career and Billy Crystal's film career.<br /><br />"MY GIANT TRIVIA - The character Lilliana is also the name of Gheorghe Muresan's wife. The character's name was originally 'Angelica' but they changed it to accommodate Gheorghe, who said when he talks of love he thinks of his wife."<br /><br />Awwwwww, big guy.

Taken together, zson decided that he would point out specific fish for me to catch, which I cannot do. He was disappointed, although we did catch another larger bluegill. I did, however, see a bunch of smallmouth bass splashing around near a log so I cast in their direction and our cheap line decided to snap on that cast, sending all of my terminal tackle on a kamikaze mission to the log. A bass immediately took the worm, dragging our bobber all over the place while zson and I held our heads and wailed "That's my fish!" for a few minutes until we decided to call it a day.zmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435738243743797845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-72792841533294465662016-05-31T09:34:40.259-04:002016-05-31T09:34:40.259-04:00anyone else watch about 12 episodes of the wire ov...anyone else watch about 12 episodes of the wire over the wkd? just me? that feeling you get when finishing a series in combo with w/Tuesday after holiday = serious case of the weirdo's.<br /><br />Danimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798017623549550573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-78155699187839857382016-05-31T09:03:22.491-04:002016-05-31T09:03:22.491-04:00zguerilla marketing! most excellent.zguerilla marketing! most excellent.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442498450575812092noreply@blogger.com
