now showing in the alfred packer grill

K: movie: "The Donner Party", 2009
*** b1: NICE.

booze 'n' bases

K: I'm about to watch game 7 of the 1960 WS. Only known copy recently discovered in Bing Crosby's wine cellar.

how about 499?

K: 500 doesn't sound like many, but it's a lot

b1: if someone hit you in the face 500x, it would seem like a lot.

because you're too chicken liver

b1: captain beefheart died. *** K: I barely knew him.

the taste of metal

b1: we need to talk about shirley bassey and vegas sometime.

K: Agreed.

b1: i would've given my left nut to hear her say, "he's such a cold
finger" live.

K: Ba-DAAAAH-dah!

b1: perfect.

K: I'm a fucking awesome communicator.

b1: so much so that you can even do trumpet sounds by TXT. that's
pretty big.

K: QED.

b1: don't speak hebrew to me.

K: לכם!

what's sticky and sweet?

{i often route messages between solid goldstein and special K. they're
shirt-tail cousins ... and in 1 of the million weirdnesses in my life, i
introduced them.}

b1: this from your cousin. and it's not a joke, he's serious.
*** Danielle Steel's Chocolates. No, it's not her latest book. It's what
I snacked on last night. ***

K: Bizarre.

oh, to re-live greatness cheaply

K: I got my 2010 World Series DVD set today. 8 DVDs.

b1: great. how much? and at the risk of asking the obvious, what's on
it?

K: WS games, 2 NLCS games, 1 bonus disc (postgame, parade, season
highlights, etc). $35.

b1: that's a good deal.

K: It is. $80 list. Not Blu-ray, though.

They did a nice job. Discs are orange. Disc cases are covered in text:
box score, game notes, trivia, etc.

Includes SF radio on alternate audio channel, which is HUGE.

b1: they synch the radio broadcasts with the game?

K: Yes they do.

b1: THAT is cool. how much total listening/viewing time is there?

K: The box says 19 hours, but that's gotta be way low. The games alone
are more than that.

b1: stupid box.

K: I LOVE THE BOX.

b1: and EVERY TIME you watch, the giants win. EVERY TIME.

K: So true. Forever. The WS trophy is about to go on tour.

b1: i think you should figure out how to preserve it...digital isn't
dependable enough...like the constitution...put it in a concrete column
in case of attack.

K: If they put a Giants logo on it, my wife will buy it.

b1: don't blame your obsession on momma K.

K: We share the Giants. But since they won she's gone majorly retail.
