Loading ...I’m still doing the cooking around here. My mother isn’t supposed to cook while she’s still on any medication that makes her dizzy. I made a casserole tonight. Everyone loved it. Except Don. His words, “You know how I feel about rice! I saw too much of it in Vietnam!”. Sigh. So it wasn’t just the shrimp and tea that traumatised him, but the rice too.
I was once traumatised by a foodstuff. I won’t go into that here - its kinda gross. I mean… Fear Factor gross. Icky. So on to other things.
Is anyone watching Lost tonight? I keep hearing how this season its back up to top speed, but the season premiere was dull, and last week, I didn’t even pay attention. Something about that Monty guy (Monty? what is his name? Morty? Jermaine? You know who I’m talking about) being psychic or summat.
Come on now Lost, I want all the quizzical, head-scratching mystery that the first season had. What about them fucking numbers, ay? And…. and… Naveen. Shirtless. Sweaty.
Desmond. Thats the guy’s name. Why the hell was I thinking “Monty”?
Buy me a beer!

Don sounds just like the witty, urbane men I grew up with: “By cry-st I seen anuff a’ that damn forn food when I was eyun forn lands. I don’t never ever wont ta see that sheeyut uhgin!”. Charming. Nevermind that rice grows in frakkin’ SC and GA, and that it has been a major cash crop for those areas, it’s from forn parts and that’s that. (sigh)
Hokey dialect spelling, perhaps, but every Southerner who has purposefully used their experiences to broaden their horizons recognize the ‘thinking’ of those others who have used their experiences as further evidence that everybody else is just wrong and weird, while our traditions are just so right. That kind of thing annoys me, oh so very much. Hang in there, Che…
I don’t watch Lost. I know people raved about the initial promise of the show, but I can see little reason to tune in … well, aside from Mr Andrews and Mr Kim. Of course, Mr Kim is particularly foreign, and probably eats rice, but I’ll forgive him that trangression so long as he keeps his shirt unbuttoned.
I know, Mojo, I know. All I can say is…. I know.
Sigh.
I have an uncle who was in Vietnam. His major culinary story from that time involves a circular table with a hole in the middle for a monkey, mallets, and live monkey brains. I never knew if it was a racist story or a real experience. Either way, we never served live monkey brains to him, so there was no flashback problem that Don seems to experience on a daily basis.
And Lost just sucks! I don’t care about Jack! And I begin to care about no one else.
And you called him Monty because he is as cheesy as Monty Hall, brother.
The monkey story sounds like racist urban legend material to me, though I didn’t find it on Snopes.com. Or a scene from “Faces of Death”. But it was good of you not to serve the flash-back inducing delicacy to him.
Monty is pretty cheesy, in’e? And Jack does SUCK. He isn’t worthy of ‘main character’ status. Be fearless, Lost - kill off Jack.
And Kate.
And Monty.
Maybe Charlie too.
And ALL of the Others, especially that whiny little Romeo and Juliet starcrossed lovers couple. whine whine….
UGH
I always assumed racist urban legend status for his story too.
The guy behind Lost is the guy behind Alias. Alias was brilliant in its first two seasons and pretty much crap (with occassional bursts of brilliance) after that.
I guess he knows how to start a story but not sustain it.
And I’ve noticed you’ve been getting a lot of 4 star ratings on the posts. Some reader out there must think that we’re slipping out here too with the posts and discussions. Maybe we’re like Lost too!
I never really got into Alias. I can’t stand Jennifer Garner. There’s something really awful about her face. She just doesn’t do it for me.
Yes well, considering my present circumstances, the readers are just going to have to put up with boring Lost storylines from me for a while. At least they aren’t giving me one star, like you did that time.
I will never live my one star shame down!
There is something definitely strange about her face, but I did like the first two seasons of Alias. Especially Irina Derevko!
And who doesn’t like Isabella Rosalini? Last week, one of the funniest moments in television history happened on 30 Rock when Isabella Rosalini was discussing her divorce settlement with Alec Baldwin. She just wanted it done and was giving in to all of his demands (even ones like “I want the art supplies I gave you on your 40th birthday and all subsequent artwork produced with them” and “I want all your parents love letters”
. She just kept saying “Fine.” “Fine.”
After along list, he said, “And I want the Arby’s franchise we own in Telluride.”
To which she responded, “Damn it, Johnny! You know I love my Big Beef and Cheddar!”
With those looks and that accent paired with that subject matter, there was never a funnier line spoken on TV.
R the P knows I agree with his comments about Isabella Rossellini. She is awesome. She even takes the bus from her Manhattan apartment, not a taxi or a limo. Great gal with good comedic timing as well as dramatic timing. Loved that 30 Rock.
I agree re Ms Garner (or is it Affleck?), but I liked Alias, overall. Of course that had nothing to do with Bradley Cooper, Victor Garber, or Michael Vartan. And of course, the very funny Kevin Weisman.
As for the rating stars, who is doing the rating? It isn’t me, it isn’t R the P, and it isn’t Che, so that leaves on Bas. Ok, Bas, what’s going on on your end? You doing the rating? If it’s not Bas, then maybe it is the FL ghost pig.
I love the ghost pig, I love Beef and Chedder, I love Isabella Rossellini. She’s definitely up there at the top of my yummy list, hovering somewhere near Thelma Lou and Wonder Woman. Though I know nothing of this 30 Something of which you speak.
Hell, I even liked Isabella in that godawful Merlin movie that she did with the Antichrist. The rest of it was putrid but she managed to inject a bit of talent into the whole travesty. I’m thinkin’:
Ghost Pig: The Movie.
Followed by Ghost Pig II: Pig on Fire.
We also loved her in Death Becomes Her. We often say her line “Now a warning” that she said after Meryl Streep had imbibed the potion. To which Meryl replied “NOW a warning?!”
And she did a great indie movie about a woman who had glass legs filled with beer. Mojo said that he wanted to look into getting some of those legs.
Maybe not glass legs, though. Lots of sparkles and practical when it comes to beer storage, but not so great when it comes to legs. Horseback riding could prove fatal for both horse and rider, for instance.
Nevertheless, since we all love Isabella (Bas?), we should give her a holiday. Epiphirossellini or maybe Ash Isabella Day, Dia de los Isabellas, or somesuch. Pope vote!
Ghost Pig movies will make millions!
*Hold the Bacon: Ghost Pig Goes Ballistic
*Ghost Pigs on a Plane (overhyped but honest)
*Ghost Pig Wars: The Porky Menace (not as good as the original GPW)
Mock, if you will, but it will probably happen. Unfortunately.
This year of the Pig is everywhere. At work, someone said, “I got this information from Dr. Bacon, who works at your office.”
There is no Dr. Bacon here. Luckily they gave her first name, so I knew who they were talking about, but her last name sounds nothing like Bacon!
Isabacon Rosalini!
I keep encountering lots of pig synchronicities myself. Like today when I switched on the telly just in time to hear Al Bundy say, “And now, the running of the pigs…”.
Ghost pig, Dr Bacon, the running of the pigs…. it has to be a sign.
A sign of the aporkalypse!
Sorry. I admit that was bad. I can feel those people hitting 1 star right now.
And Mojo how about a movie called “Bacon and Bacon”. Kevin Bacon. Arnold Ziffle. In an action comedy that will touch your heart while raising your cholesterol.
Or Kevin Bacon. Miss Piggy. A love that dared not speak its name. A love that threatened to tear apart the Muppets forever!
They could make that last one into a series on Showtime and call it “Pig Love”.
Oh my god, R the P… aporkalypse?! Still, I laughed.
I think I’ve seen Pig Love before, but it wasn’t on Showtime. Skinemax maybe.
OK, enough. After Bacon and Bacon, it’s time for me to call it a day…
Hee, hoo.. Sorry about the static. Too much new music going on here! I’m at a loss in movie land; really. I saw ‘Death Becomes Here’ on TV.. Great movie!
Last movie in a theatre… Mmm… Must have been ‘The Clearing’ with Robert Redford. Yawn.
Well.. Couple of new song attempts up on poesboes.com.
Tell Don… Nah.. I can never get the proper Southern Accent..
Looking forward to a recipe of Don Casserole! You know, nice, clean, healthy homey local meat..
I saw Death Becomes Her years ago. Hey, R the P - know who I went to see it with? Richie! Yep, crazy Richie. It was the only date-type thing we ever did.
Awsome music Bas! You’ve been really productive. But thats no excuse for Shattered Prayer silence. Shatter the Silence. (Name for a song?)
I can’t see Richie enjoying the movie. But then again, I can’t see him enjoying anything.
I seem to vaguely remember him enjoying it. He did sometimes laugh, but I think I’ve blocked out those memories. Too gruesome.
Probably for the best.
