Over the past few days I've watched a tremendous amount of the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...a trend that surely will not change. For those who aren't familiar...check it out...its amazing. It officially has taken a place in my top five television shows of all time along with (in alphabetical order) Full House, Perfect Strangers, Saved by the Bell, and Seinfeld.
While watching the show, I can't help but think about the fact that I've never been to Philadelphia, PA. Should I visit sometime? Is it a hip, happening place? So many others seen to be impressed by it. I mean, EJ, The Boss, Knopfler, and G Love have all written songs about it. I've been to Lincoln, NE twice...has anyone written a song about that shithole? My priorities are definitely out of whack.
Puzzles
It is 2:34 p.m. and I haven't gone outside today. I blame this on the 1,000 piece puzzle that is sitting on the coffee table. Even as I write this it is laughing at me and taunting me. The theme/title of the puzzle is "Summer's Song". "Summer's Song" my ass...more like "Going to Give Dan an Aneurysm". Fuck puzzles.
House Slippers
God* bless house slippers. That is all.
Man Crushes
Yes, it is true that over the years I have had or have been rumored to have many a man crush. From Bruce Springsteen to Pat Burrell to Keith Richards to Sean Connery and, of course, Alec Baldwin (Hunt for Red October is an emotional and erotic journey for me). Well, in relation to Philadelpia (above), my new man crush is Charlie Day. I wish I could shrink him down to about 12-14 tall and have him sit on my shoulder all day. Wait...maybe that would be uncomfortable. Could he somehow float above my shoulder? The Great Gazoo did it with Fred Flintstone. Thoughts?
On a side note, what was the deal with The Great Gazoo on the Flintstones? Did he mark the end of the life of the show? Is it similar to Oliver on The Brady Bunch or Olivia on The Cosby Show or that little guido kid on Who's the Boss?
*Please note that any time I refer to "God" I am being facetious
As it relates to the asterisk above, I can't help but pass on to the masses one of the many Dan-anecdotes-uttered-over-cocktails that I have saved in my blackberry's "memopad" feature:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Dan's Quote 8-29-08
Memo: "If I ever find god, and I'm not just faking it for a woman, please, just fucking kill me."
I think dan needs this in his wardrobe for Tahoe. http://www.birkoph.com/Wolf_tshirt.htm It sounds like it works well with the women.
ReplyDeleteLast night I was hanging out at an un-opened bar in Grand Rapids (hasn't opened yet). One of the 2 chefs spent 2 years being a ski bum in CO. We were talking about how little kids do crazy shit on skis and are fearless. He added that copious amounts of acid and weed helped him be more fearless when living as a ski bum. The delivery of his statement made it clear that he was not joking. Just thought I'd pass that on.
I remember the God quote. I stand by it.
ReplyDeleteLunchbox...I knocked down a child today. We will get our revenge!

Also, in addition, Choz may be able to clear this up...
ReplyDeleteDid I claim Ed Reed is better than Lawrence Taylor?
I believe you said he is the modern day L.T, but is unable to pull off the lightning bolt earring.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to add Ed Reed would not have had the same onscreen chemistry with Bill Bellamy that L.T. had in "Any Given Sunday"

ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is that the ASIP crackhead episode was one of the best half hours of TV ever. Definitely your sense of humor. You would be the only person I know who would get a kick of people painting a baby brown to look more Latino. No offense.
The Jew
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIE, this is alright...you're here, Lunchy is here and I am here.
ReplyDeleteSo, what are Perfect Strangers and Saved by the Bell about?
Also, do not go to Philadelphia you'll contract GRIDS.
IHU!
Mexico
It's a hard time for all Americans.
ReplyDeleteJR
Lunchbox and Mexico commenting in the same place...look out. The world may crumble in on itself. Nicknames are the balls.
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know...AIDS was once called GRIDS...Gay-Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
If anyone has about 1,000 free hours and a strong stomach, read "And the Band Played On".
Later boners,
