BUMP BAILEY.
|
Monday
Night Softball: A high fly ball was hit into right field and our slightly
inept right fielder Johnny G. camped under it. Directly under it. Maybe too
much under it.
Whack! It hit him square in the forehead. Didn't even touch his glove. Fortunately, all he was left with was a big knot.
No blood, no concussion, no blindness.
But it left us laughing
our asses off (once we found out he was okay, of course).

|
ESTHER.
|
WHACK!
|
SPEAKING JIVE.
|
|
Headline
Of The Day:
"Madonna Chooses Esther As New Name"
I can't say that I know any Esthers personally, but the image I see in
my mind's eye is that of an old Jewish woman who rides one of those
motorized stair lifts.

Ever
since I was in high school or thereabouts, whatever group of friends I
ran with was obsessed with quoting movie lines. And one of the most quotable
movies ever is "Airplane!", which is simply hysterical.
And thanks to some fine fine fine human being from Tufts University, you can now get the quotes right:
Airplane!
Original Movie Script.
What's our Vector Victor?

|
|
SPARKLERS.
|
MISINFORMED.
|
|
Matt and I were discussing purchasing fireworks for the 4th of July
barbeque at my house (hey, everyone's invited). He wanted to know what
kind to buy, so I told him to follow this simple rule: Don't buy
anything that a drunk person shouldn't light.
Guess we'll all be holding sparklers.

This
email popped into my inbox yesterday:
"Hello, we are building a cooking web directory and would
like to add your site 'wayoutinleft.com' to our topic list under
'writing, journals, and poetry.' So, if you would like to add your
listing, please visit this page: http://www.cooking-resource.com/add.cgi.
Thank you very much."
A cooking directory? This drivel? They've got to be kidding.

DRUNK BIRDS.
|
Cooking
Sherry, Misinformed, Esther, Speaking Jive, Bump Bailey, Sparklers,
Whack!, Drunk Birds, and Difficult Days. |
|
Before I started working from home, I never realized so many things
happen in my yard. This afternoon, a bird flew into the (closed) kitchen
window and lay stunned in my driveway. It just sat there with it's head
crooked to one side--even when I walked up to it. Eventually, it flew
off, albeit not very straight. Once again, the word
"ponderous" comes to mind.

|
DIFFICULT DAYS.
|
COOKING SHERRY.
|
|
Yikes. Iraqi insurgents killed 89 and injured over 300 in a string of
attacks today. It really makes one wonder how a transfer of power can
take place six days from now. Too damn much bloodshed.
|
I was kinda wondering how a bloody mary would taste if you made it with
cooking sherry instead of vodka.
