Oh, the narrator/protagonist HATES Kenny G. It's a hilarious book; I'll be surprised if it's less than 4-stars. I've already decided that my boss will like it -- and he's not a reader -- and plan on getting him a copy.
Scott, I guarantee you'll love it.
It seems everytime I drive here in Florida I scare some Granny.
Well, you got us this past season, that's for sure. I STLIL haven't gotten over the Miracle game. Fuck.
I just realized I got Yanni and Kenny G. confused. Whew.
And that game. I'm glad you enjoyed it, because it RUINED me. Prick. ; )
How we weren't in position for an onside kick ... and then later punting to that asshole -- heck, the whole 4th quarter: it's just insane. Like a nightmare too unrealistic to even be scary, because it's just too impossible to ever really happen.
But it's still not funny to me. Not at all. Maybe in 20 years.
Maybe not.
Only as good as your last season, I believe. Ya'll get one soon. Just keep enjoying your wins on us this past season while you can ; )
I'm not convinced that 3 of the 4 best teams in the NFC next year will be from our division. (You guys, us, Dallas -- who you better believe will be back and ready next year -- and then GB.)
Oh yeah, how sick is it that the Seahawks made it to the playoffs with a losing record? We beat them 41-7! Then again, they did win their first playoff game. That's one of many things I love about football: the "any given Sunday" cliche is absolutely true.
I feel your pain! I'm an Orioles fan. I also pine for the glory years....
This review makes me really want to read the book.
I have trouble seeing how someone wouldn't love it, Mad Dog. And you and I have similar taste, so I say go for it.
The best part of your review was finding out that you had a girlfriend. Well-read with a girlfriend: That is a good 'bifecta' for you and probably not easy to pull off.
I bet you have six of 'em, Mad Dog! A sixfecta, or whatever that would be called.
Your taste in books is great, but how on earth did you like Slaughterhouse Five? ... WORST ... BOOK ... EVER!!
Haha. It was a long time ago. It's been some time since I've read any Vonnegut, actually. But I remember his mind being very expansive; his perceptions wide and vast.
I have a long-suffering wife. I haven't had six girlfriends in the totality of my life! I think it is called a sexfecta, but, then again, maybe not.
hey wait just a second, Ben! I'm from Philadelphia! sheesh.
I agree with you about how book is all about slow difficult growth. One of the key aspects of the book that I loved and even learned from is how positive Pat was through all of this. When I was reading this book I too thought maybe Pat isn't as crazy as everyone thinks he is.
