"smart"

b1: "the world series trophy was in sonoma today! and i stood in line!
and i got a picture with it! and my rubber duckie too!"

K: Fans dig the trophy. I'm sad I haven't seen it yet.

***

b1: it's because you're not a true fan.

***

{instantaneous response} K: So "true".

K: Thanks. I love superlong sporting events. I dream of attending a
baseball game that lasts all night and past dawn. I love giant
megathings in general. It's probably the same impulse that makes me like
24HO.

When I was a kid I ripped the covers off all my Richie Rich comics and
taped them together into one giant Richie Rich comic.

But I hate the stall in basketball.

who's to blame?

solid goldstein: When syphilis came to europe, the italians called it
french pox, the french called it italian pox, the english called it
spanish pox, the poles called it german pox and the russians called it
polish pox.

pizza facism

b1: i altered my lunch plans in SF and just sat down to eat here
instead:

Una Pizza Napoletana
210 11th St

***

solid G: Ah yes, the pizza nazi. He moved from new york. I ate at his
place in the east village. Let me know what you think. Perhaps the most
controversial pizzaria in the world...

***

b1: what did you think? did you like it?

***

G: I did. But my companions thought it overpriced. I though it was a
very pure pizza.

***

b1: i thought it was good. expensive, but not outrageously so ...
there's a place in vegas -settebello- that's every bit as good and not
NEARLY as snooty.

monster trivia

b1: okay trivia heads: for 5 points each, 40 for all 6, name the
monsters on the "universal studios monsters" logo.

***

solid G: Frankenstein, dracula, wolf man, invisible man, mummy.....who
else?

b1: that's 20 points. the set is frankenstein, wolfman, mummy, bride of
frankenstein, dracula and creature from the black lagoon

G: Invisible man is there. You just can't see him.

***
***

K: Frankenstein, Mummy, Wolfman, Dracula, invisible Man ... Bride?

b1: 25 points. it's mummy not invisible man.

K: I was picturing an old comic book ad for Universal Monsters model
kits. That was the first time I was ever aware of any movie company.

I must have pictured Mummy when I said Invisible Man.

b1-67er: I'm totally guessing here, I can't even visualize the
logo....king kong, creature from the blue lagoon, wolfman, dracula,
frankenstein, the invisible man?

66er: 20 points.

b1-67er: Oh... the mummy, I knew I was missing a big one. They just put
bride of Frankenstein in there for political correctness. I thought
Godzilla might be in there due to Godzilla 2000.

does it have a scope sight?

b1: your cousin's birthday is saturday. *** K: Oh yes, I see it here on the international Jewish calendar.
