I can see someone not liking Caddyshack, but to not think that Casablanca is a classic? I ain't gettin' it! |

Who said that? When I ran a theater, we could always pack 'em in with Casablanca. But you know, the thing about Caddyshack was -- the Baby Ruth in the pool. Not a great movie, maybe, but a great moment. |

Wellll, I didn't really say that. I usually don't think of things in terms of what are classics... & what are not. I think I was objecting to polls that had CASABLANCA rated as the world's greatest film... or something like that (it used to always be CITIZEN KANE that won those particular competitions.) Since I haven't the foggiest clue as to what the all-time greatest movie is, I usually don't pay much attention to these listings. On the other hand, CASABLANCA is certainly not MY favorite film. It isn't even my favorite Bogie film (again, I'm not sure I could actually come up with a favorite, BUT I know CASABLANCA ain't it.) I could tell you why I'm not that fond of it... but why bother. I have no axe to grind & I certainly am not interested in talking someone out of liking it (even if that was remotely possible). Edited by mort bakaprevski, Oct 6 2009, 06:42 PM.

Mort, Are we finished here? I hope not, 'cause I ain't told a Stony blast-from-the-past story yet! Plus, this thread hasn't reached 10,000 views neither. |

Donna be silly!! 10,000 seems fine for an interim goal (&, by the way, less than 100 reads gets it to 3,000) |

Before I have time for a story, I have a question: mort, have you ever tried country ham? I know there aren't any Cracker Barrels in California (and that outta be against the law). |

I honestly don't know. How does one know if the ham they are eating is country or not?? |

Country ham is drier, saltier and chewier than any ham you can get in Silverlake (except, maybe once a year, at my son's house). The only cities I know where you can buy it are in the South. To call it addictive is an understatement -- it's got a flavor more intense than any other -- not any other ham, any other flavor. |

OH! Me and my big mouth. I will relate a story of a 16 year old juvenile delinquent, a teen so daring, that he skipped a class for a full year, well, almost a full year. The delinquent, for the story, we'll just call him Stony! I'll arrive early to work one day this week, and reveal all. |

Stony, I returned to the Tam last Friday. I knew in advance I would be subjected to the Roto-Rooter Men… but I was hungry. The boys were certainly at their raucous “best.” However, I decided to give a listen. The instrumentation included a fiddle, accordion, rhythm guitar & electric bass. The bass player was pretty damn good. He was playing the right notes & wasn’t just playing on 1 & 3. He’d do some imaginative things and really provided the rhythmic oomph for the group. Harmonically, his work wasn’t that sophisticated… BUT it wouldn’t have been appropriate for this group & probably would have been detrimental if he’d tried something more adventurous. At any rate, all this goes to prove something. I’m just not sure what!! |
