We'll Always Have Paris

[ehowton]

Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.

Little girl was sick Monday night to the point I stayed at home Tuesday. Played a lot of ball in the backyard with the boy. He's pretty good. Grilled a lot of vegetables the last couple of days, smoked a couple of cigars.

Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she had to walk into mine.

Only dullards get bored
Not afflicting the creative
Higher-brain functions mitigate
External stimuli

Yet the truth I abhor
Verisimilitude is ablative
And prone to agitate
Because weak am I

I'll tell you what I'm blathering about... I've got information man! New shit has come to light! And shit... man, she kidnapped herself. Well sure, man. Look at it... a young trophy wife, in the parlance of our times, you know, and she, uh, uh, owes money all over town, including to known pornographers, and that's cool... that's, that's cool, I'm, I'm saying, she needs money, man. And of course they're going to say that they didn't get it, because... she wants more, man! She's got to feed the monkey, I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?


I wish there were a cellular interface to secure shell.

...Here's looking at you, kid.

You are quoting "Casablanca" and have a Bogie icon. You are my idol.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.

Hey, Commander. Listen, we found some beryllium on a nearby planet. And we might be able to get there if we reconfigure the solar matrix in parallel for endothermic propulsion.

Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.
Rick: And you never will.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Rick: How long was it we had, honey?
Ilsa: I didn't count the days.
Rick: Well, I did. Every one of them. Mostly, I remember the last one, the wild finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain, with a comical look on his face, because his insides have been kicked out.

[galinda822.livejournal.com]

A girl standing in the basement with a devastated look on her face, because her insides have been kicked out. Offered the consolation prize - we'll always be friends. Told to forget everything and move on!

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Who are you really, and what were you before? What did you do and what did you think, huh?

[galinda822.livejournal.com]

I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping Somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

We all try. You succeed.

[galinda822.livejournal.com]

Do I?

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

I stick my neck out for nobody.

[galinda822.livejournal.com]

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!

I doubted if I should ever come back.

What's this from?

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Robert Frost's The Road Less Travelled.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

Truely, sir, Casablanca was a great movie. I think I'll rent it tonight.

Who's that leaning on hte 24? What is the 24?

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Who's that leaning on hte 24?
Way out west there was this fella I wanna tell ya about. Goes by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. See, this Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, "Dude" - there's a name no man would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place in the early '90s - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - the Dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man.

What is the 24?
It's a bowling alley lane numerical designation.

Truly Sir Casablanca is the GREATEST MOVIE!

I am Glad I own it on DVD and VHS.

I am glad I gave it to Howton on DVD.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

So I take it that his most recent viewing was his first viewing and thus explains why he so lauded it and shared large sections of dialouge with us?

It is a great movie. But for me, the best movie keeps changing. What about, say, It's a Wonderful Life or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington?

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

I gave it to him four years ago and the greatest movies never change.

They are the greatest for ALL TIME.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

so you do have an open mind after all then, eh?

I'm glad you think that there isn't one greatest movie but rather a collection of the best. If only the best filmmakers of yore could have had the technology that we have today, imagine what we'd have...

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

All the technology in the world, a great movie cannot make. It takes a story. Everything else is secondary. Even acting, even cinematography, even soundtrack.

[professortom.livejournal.com]

I liked Joe Dirt.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

you're an ass.

[professortom.livejournal.com]

You guys got somethin' to say to me? Why don't you say it in the microphone. I got a backup mike right here. Check one two, testing, testing. Yup, they both working and guess what? they don't like no feed back, what's up?

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

[professortom.livejournal.com]

God Almighty, from inbred heaven?, hey freak boy, 1976 called, it wants its hairstyle back.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

oh baby! turn me on! I like it rough! ;)

[professortom.livejournal.com]

You know I'd love to beat your ass all up and down this place but I gotta go back to work.

[celtmanx.livejournal.com]

No, your just a dumb BE ACTCH!

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

It was a Christmas gift. Prior to that I owned it on laserdisc. Are you interested in purchasing my remasetered laserdisc?

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]
