Unbuckling the swash - if you get my drift!
(Sorry, I have the flu and my mind is polluted by way too much medication!)

It's like this. There are times when we all need a hero. They don't need to wear blue tights and fly faster than a speeding bullet. They don't necessarily grunt and sweat and flex their biceps and their tight little abs. They are the men who read books without pictures, have table manners, and know ...

HACKING?
Are you noticing that things might be amiss with your blog? I’ve heard from one other McCain Blogger who is having problems. TLB no longer recognizes The Pink Flamingo as a blog! I can’t even get into the system to solve the problem. It could be TLB, or it could be me. I’m not sure. ...

Thirteen Reasons Cary Grant Is My Favorite Movie Star

He was suave, debonair, handsome, self-deprecating, had the sexiest way of talking, and once called my sister a “lovely young thing.” He never played a villain. He was a very big baseball fan, a naturalized American and a Republican. And, most importantly, during the 1930’s while making movies and traveling throughout Europe he spied on Nazi Germany for the British Secret Service.

“…A reporter in search of information wired Grant's agent: "HOW OLD CARY GRANT?" Grant happened to read the message himself, and ...

The Cat Deleted My Evening Post!

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2

You are only getting one serious post from me today. This evening, when my back was turned, Doc Holiday deleted my evening post. Since I’m in a slightly vile mood, I’m not going to recreate it. I’ve been doing my usual Thursday Thirteen surfing. I am so sick of cute kids, happy home-makers, and adorable babies I could puke. The same thing goes for new age affirmations of good feelings. Bull. The blasted Braves finally managed to win one tonight. I hope they did not strain themselves. I am in a nasty mood until I get a ...

THIRTEEN GREAT MOVIE SCENES
The Pink Flamingo’s 65th Edition Thursday Thirteen

They may not be the greatest movie scenes, but they are great - and they are favorites of mine. Also they are the scenes I could locate on YouTube. Okay, there are more than 13 scenes. I can't pick. Let's face the fact that we could do a whole TT just on Casablanca! You may also want to notice how often Humphrey Bogart appears in this list. The AFI did a list of the top 100 great movie quotes (or something like that) and Bogey had ...

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY I AM A DEVOTED MARXIST
The Pink Flamingo's 64th Edition
THURSDAY THIRTEEN
(A two-fer)

This Thursday Thirteen is dedicated to all the devoted Marx Brothers' fans, including my father and my friend Mark. The Marx Brothers were pioneers of comedy and the movies. Their work made it possible for future masters in the field from Alan Alda's Hawkeye to Saturday Night Live, to Laugh-In. They were the kings of comedy before people even knew what comedy at the movies actually was. If you have never seen their movies you are in for a treat. My favorite is ...

PreSeason Consensus – Cubbies All the Way?

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:45:00 -0700

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20

Yea, and I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’ll gladly sell at rock bottom prices! Yes, on paper, the Cubbies seem to have the best team, so far. Now, what is going to happen?

From what I gather the great missile shot was a complete success. This is so exciting. Ronald Reagan was right about that one. Star Wars works! Space.Com has a test on which cosmic duo would you trust to shoot down that satellite. No contest – Captain James T. Kirk and the USS Enterprise NCC-1701!

“…Pros: Kirk’s trademark dramatic pauses will up the tension ...

Thirteen Misc. Commercials

I never link my TT's to Linkfest Heaven Deluxe, but I am doing so today. Most of the political junkies there will understand when they see two of the commercials. My mother has been heard saying (many times) that often the commercials are better than the television programs. Sometimes they are. Below you will find thirteen commercials (a couple trailers) that I find either funny, or are some of my favorites. You are also going to find a Ronald Reagan commercial that would make you wonder...! The first ...

Star Trek Classic
Thirteen Fun Things I Found On You Tube
Thursday Thirteen

I am an unrepentant Trekkie. One of the thrilling aspects of Trek Classic was the fact that many (if not all) of the original cast members had a true interest in the space program and NASA. Nichelle Nichols helped to recruit the original women astronauts. I met James Doohan at the launch of the third shuttle mission. One of the most thrilling moments of my life was attending a panel hosted by Ted Koppel. On the panel was Gene Roddenberry, Ray Bradbury and ...

THE TOMBSTONE DINNER PARTY
THIRTEEN GUESTS

I thought since last week’s dinner party was such an absolute disaster, I would go back to Tombstone and dine there. We would eat at in the Don T’s Room at the Lamplighter at the Tombstone Boarding House Bed & Breakfast. Juan de Granada would be providing the entertainment with his exquisite and virtuoso classical guitar. We would all be sipping one of Don T’s infamous margaritas (trust me) and dining on Mexican food. I would, as usual, be making a spectacle of myself as I consumed embarrassingly large quantities ...
