Say good night, Gracie.

pocket size, my Germanic friend.

good week end, all... laters

a pint of gelato?????? What are you Paul Bunyan?

no, it is still there ... and, I bet you I forget again before I get home.

In my puny defense I was looking for my NYDN in the front yard before I got into my vehicle. I finally found the paper under a Japanese maple near the drive area near the rear of my house.

I renewed my vehicle registration online and it told me to put the middle of the form in my vehicle as it is my new registration. So this AM I stuck it in my shirt pocket so I would remember. Guess, what is in my shirt pocket right now?

I'd give you a uncle Leo's and uncle Paulie's numbers but you probably have your own uncles and thought of that any way.

nor, did I see Dole. ;-0

and if the two should come together then armageddon will ensue.

for women, it is the Cinderalla syndrome; for men, it is the Peter Pan syndrome.

the guy is a ****... I remember him from way back when. He argues about everything and knows nothing. Notice his record?
I tried to vote but the screen just sat there and did nothing. I hope it registered. But I think you got this locked now.

we know that. Just vote .... and vote often.

they can audit my puny o nthe record financial records and I do not have a phone in my name. ;-)

Thank you, Samuel.

or depending where they play have to figure out who is paying them and with which dollar and exchange rates.

and that was the other part that was mentioned in the piece: like many young people who theoretically have the world by the balls, they think they know it all and it won't happen to them. But in the end many of them have a hard reckoning when it is time to pay the piper.

financially they cetainly aren't.
I read once that they have these rookie indoctriantion classes and they find most of the players are not even aware of how they get paid. They just know they signed for a certain amount of money.
One veteran player tried telling the rookies about his first NFL pay check and when he got about 65% of what he had signed for and figured it was just the first installment and then had the news broken to him about taxes, etc.....

Anyone remebr the Yankee players and the Copacabana epsiode? Some Yankee payaers went there to celebrate Billy MArtin's B-day. There was a supposed donnybrook at the night club involving Martin, Hank Bauer, Mickey, Yogi and Whitey and a few other palyers who by many later accounts were trying to calm down some drunk yahoos who were making racist remarks to Sammy Davis... The NY press made it into a far more ugly incident at the time.
Any way about a month later Billy was part of a trade to KC and many say it was that incident that the Yankee GM, George Weiss, used to get Billy kicked off the Yanks.
I jsut read in Bobby Richardson's book that another part of the incident was that the Yankee players had run up a bar tab in the thousands and didn't thave the moolah to pay it so Billy graciously said, "I'll sign the owner's name on the check." And he signed Dan Topping's name and they all went on their merry ways.
Topping was not exactly happy when he got the bill and since they could not realistically do much to Mickey, Whitey or Yogi, et. al., but the owner didn't want to let the incident slide either. Billy got ****.

ya know what they say: a hand in the bush is worth a hand in all three... or something like that any way. ;-)

Damn, if Natasha sucks in her gut any more we'll all be looking at her backside. How the hell does anyone get a gut that damn flat?????
