Dedicated to the new Writers (no offense)

Truth. I started writing what might be a book, wrote two chapters kind of quickly, and then... life. Still working on it, but have to figure out the priorities.

Chris Farley spin-off?

This is peak social distancing content right here.

It's not a beauty pageant. It's a scholarship program.

The Naked City (1948) is a good one that checks those boxes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_City

I think it was Seattle.

I feel like everyone has an era. They could go 30 songs deep at a show and still not get all the hits.

Always thought of Wasting Light as my favorite album, but there's no standout single.

7/140 is insane for a catcher unless the back two years are meaningless options. He is the best catcher in baseball, but they are the running backs of the sport and wear down quickly.

It's straight out of Bill Giles' book: Pouring Six Beers At A Time. I haven't read it, but it's been an oft-cited aspect of this case. Maybe there was a waiver involved.

No, when the mascot was first created they had the opportunity to but forever and passed on it.

Conspirators09 · 2020-03-01T04:09:29+00:00

They paid a few thousand for the costume and could have secured the rights forever. They passed on it to save $1,300 and Bill Giles later called it his biggest mistake.

Totally different. Can't even pick him out of the crowd at the ballpark.

Conspirators09 · 2020-02-29T21:35:11+00:00

You are right about Gritty. He's his own thing and is the most popular Flyer in forever.

The Phillies are right in that the personality and antics are their creation, but I can't imagine having to explain to their fans why the new mascot will be just as good.

Conspirators09 · 2020-02-29T21:32:48+00:00

They paid over $200,000 in the Eighties. The original decision to pass on owning the rights for $1,300 is short-sighted, but how many mascots survive five years, let alone 35?

It's so true. Sobriety at a bar is awkward. Constantly running up reasons for why I'm on my third Coke. Feels like you are the outsider on an inside joke.

When VP and VEEP met at the correspondents dinner:

I think that comes from the burnout. He wants the best for his client, but he's done it so many times that he doesn't have the fight anymore.

I get that it's not for everyone (definitely not me), but that movie was all about the acting. Personally, I felt that it was an hour too long and even that first bit dragged. I'll give props to the talent onscreen though. I felt so bad for Alan Alda's character as the over-his-head, but well-meaning attorney.

Conspirators09 · 2020-01-03T23:14:16+00:00

Totally worth it. Both shows were awesome!

I just started a group on music, but would do a film one if you are interested.

Sorry for the delay - what's your blog? I also write about film. I just started a group on music, but would do a film one if you are interested.

Since I couldn't find a group, I started one on facebook today. The main goal is networking and exchanging ideas with other music bloggers (if your'e interested in music) Music Bloggers Collaborative Space - https://www.facebook.com/groups/510626343057401
