After all, when the man behind the counter asked me a relatively simple question-- "Hey, bub, what's your shoe size?"-- I stammered like a politician caught in flagrante delicto with someone other than their significant other. My surroundings had rendered me incoherent-- and that was before the first white Russian!Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1142030775697301742006-03-10T14:46:00.000-08:002006-03-10T14:46:00.000-08:00Either that or she caught wind of the fact that a ...Either that or she caught wind of the fact that a blogger was going to corner her with a serious question if she attended ;)Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1141967948966371282006-03-09T21:19:00.000-08:002006-03-09T21:19:00.000-08:00Yeah, I would have loved to watch her highly train...Yeah, I would have loved to watch her highly trained improvisatory gears turning in that situation, being asked a relatively serious question while surrounded by wild-eyed Lebowski fans dressed in all sorts of odd costumes and fairly tippled on Kahlua and vodka (there was even one woman dressed as the ransom note received by the Big Lebowski). But it was not to be. We were imagining her being seized by a fit of good sense on her way to the bowling alley-- "Hey, I'm not even <I>in</I> this movie! I'm going home and taking a nice, hot bath instead!"Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1141960782068542082006-03-09T19:19:00.000-08:002006-03-09T19:19:00.000-08:00No Edie, eh?

Too bad I was really looking forward to hearing what she'd have to say about Brian De Palma and CARRIE.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1141945920413974442006-03-09T15:12:00.000-08:002006-03-09T15:12:00.000-08:00Fortunately, for me and everyone else on our lane,...Fortunately, for me and everyone else on our lane, you could toss a beer bottle in any direction and hit plenty of comic relief on all sides. This was one situation where no one was expecting the ghosts of Dick Weber or Earl Anthony to be riding their shoulders as they rolled.

Actually, it looks like fun. Bowling is always much more fun than I remember, yet somehow I only get in there and bowl every five years or so--I'm sure my "skills" provide comic relief for the many regulars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
