Today is, shoeless joe jackson day, in honor of the All Star Game's new format.
In honor of Shoeless Joe Jackson Day, I will remove my shoes for the rest of the workday. Also, if anyone is interested in paying me to "throw" the catalog that I'm writing, I am open to offers.
Posted by: kaf on July 15, 2003 12:14 PMIn honor of shoeless jj day, I will be watching Eight Men Out instead of the all star game tonight.

Posted by: Vidiot on July 15, 2003 12:20 PMMiguel, there are about a dozen more Joe Jacksons lined up outside the door, for your exquisite pleasure.
Think of it as the Twelve Days of Joe. Or, if you will, Joenukah.
Posted by: Chico on July 15, 2003 12:32 PMHas anyone noticed that Joe Jackson and Joe Jackson actually look quite similar?
Posted by: kaf on July 15, 2003 01:23 PM"When he was still in the minor leagues he bought a new pair of spikes and they hurt his feet. About the sixth inning he took them off and played the outfield in just his socks. The other players kidded him, called him Shoeless Joe, and the name stuck for all time."

Posted by: eyeballkid on July 15, 2003 04:55 PMDong Resin Looks kind of like Mrs. Olsen from the old Folgers commercials.
Posted by: kaf on July 15, 2003 04:58 PMIf, you know, Mrs. Olsen was a black-wearin', no-shit-takin', coffee-drinkin' bad mammajamma.
Posted by: kaf on July 15, 2003 04:59 PMAnd it ain't easy to be coffee-drinkin' and no-shit-takin' at the same time, if you catch my meaning.
Posted by: kaf on July 15, 2003 04:59 PMSo, I was reading the script to Raiders of the Lost Ark today, and came across a disturbing fact. In the movie, Indy had had sex with Marion 10 years before . . . when she was 15 and he was 27.
Ewwwwww.
Posted by: witchstone on July 15, 2003 05:28 PMOh, please. Open your mind, missy!
Twenty-seven isn't too old to have sex!
Posted by: jpoulos on July 15, 2003 05:30 PMwhen she was 15 and he was 27.
The Graduate was ruined for me, when AMC announced the real ages of:Hoffman, 30 & Bancroft, 35.
You missed my entire point, gentle jpoulos. Why, when I was 15 I wouldn't have have sex with someone unless they were over 40. Standards, you know.
Posted by: witchstone on July 15, 2003 05:46 PMHa! Forget the Fendora Factor? Us?
Never!
What's the Fendora Factor?
Posted by: kaf on July 15, 2003 05:53 PM
The Fendora Factor. I can barely keep from pinching my nipples just looking at it.

HA! I kill me.
Posted by: eyeballkid on July 15, 2003 07:31 PMThat, of course, would have been funny had I typed "Fendora" instead.
Posted by: eyeballkid on July 15, 2003 07:31 PMSilly person.
And put me down for Dong Resin Day. Afro and all.
Posted by: tizzie on July 15, 2003 07:46 PMIs there a per person coffee requirement for Dong Resin Day? I need to start preparation.
Posted by: aine42 on July 15, 2003 07:57 PMWhat's the Fendora Factor?
So a hat or a guitar? need to know, won't be 40 but hey I don't want a Hoffman with my new age tomorrow.
*violins swell*
You can get a cream for that now, you know.
Well, tomorrow guess [I] know will what be day!
Day Spike of Cat Thom!
Posted by: kafker on July 16, 2003 12:11 AMAngela Lansbury was only 3 years older than Laurence Harvey when she played his mother in The Manchurian Candidate.
One the other hand, Katharine Hepburn was 61 when she played Eleanor of Aquitaine (at age 61) in The Lion in Winter, but Peter O'Toole was only 35 playing Henry II at 50. I guess they wanted her to look really old in contrast to him.
Posted by: witchstone on July 16, 2003 09:18 AMI'm so sorry I missed this when it was relevant.
Sadly, the Mrs. Olsen assumption is all too accurate
Posted by: dong resin on August 13, 2003 09:08 AMI really did have an afro when I was little, BTW.
