That dweed David Spade plays a lecherous little midget guy. Sort of like Neil Patrick Harris does on "How I Met Your Mother." I guess it is a new trend of gay guys playing lecherous cocksman. So to speak.<br /><br />Anyway in one episode he goes to visit someone in New Jersey and picks up this obviously Italian girl in the Laundry room. The next day her two guido brothers show up and he has to go to Jersey to meet the "family." An obvious Soprano's rip-off.<br /><br />Anyway the skinny douche gets off on pretending to be a guinea. He gets a jogging suit and some gold chains and when he walks into his favorite diner he shouts out like a real gavone "Hey get me some nice gob-a-goo." We nearly pissed ourselves. He was referring to <br />gob-a-gaul which is an italian ham. But it was pretty funny.<br /><br />So just call me your gob of goo.<br /><br />An half baked Italian ham.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-81740533247689115112009-05-29T12:42:06.246-07:002009-05-29T12:42:06.246-07:00Exactly, Hector.

So if I listed "The Bit Maelstrom," just like that, it would sort under B, not T.

That's a chapter title in <I>Rain in the Doorway</I>. Hector, in the novel, is clean-shaven, as was the style in the '30's, but I have a beard, and all this global warming is bringing me near my ignition point. But then I found <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eepsCXpLY4" REL="nofollow">this</A>, and had second thoughts. Some of the other chapter titles are appealingly obscure, e.g., "Mr. Owen's Buff", or "Satin Slings an Eel."<br /><br />Thanks for the links, blake. Pogo sure did get funny!
