"Today Is The 6th Day Of July In The Year Of Our Lord 2012."



"It Is Now Post Time."
We're Off...Hot N' Tots  have all retreated into their domiciles, all the Hotties are pregnant and await next years Birth Rite Festival.., you say you never heard of that...Oh, I can't believe that.  Good people of the Ville I promise you, that I will bring you up to date on The Hot N' Tots Festival..YEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEP, COFFEE ON THE NUTS...NOTHING LIKE STARTING OFF A VODKADAY WITH COFFEE ON THE NUTS..WHAT GIRL WOULDN'T LIKE HOT NUTS...I am one Simpleton that would never be lying to a woman if I told her I had hot nuts..If coffee isn't burning them, this economic depression is frying them..I finally have come to a crossroads in my life and as I stare at it I have two ways to go the right way and the wrong way...the people that really know me, know I will take whatever one is the hard one..lol!!! That crossroads thing brought to mind one of the greatest scenes, and acting performance I have ever watched in my lifetime, and I have seen quite a few...
The Movie was Scent Of A Woman..
The Actors were Chris O'Donnell
and one Al Pacino..
Brief summary to the scene I want to describe..Al Pacino was Col. Frank Slade U.S. Army retired because he blinded himself fucking with a grenade..
Chris O'Donnell was a student at the prestigious Baird School, only getting in because he won a contest in Oregon...he is too be Col. Slades escort for a few days of The Thanksgiving Weekend..
Right before the Holiday, Charlie (Chris O'Donnell) sees some of his classmates prank a real jerk off of a teacher one Mr. Trask, by setting up a trap to pour white paint all over the new Jag he just bought. One of his classmates is with him, George, George's father is a big time supporter of the Baird School..Before Charlie leaves for his job. Trask calls him into his office and asks him that beings he was there did he see the guys that did it..Charlie says no, Trask says, think about it all weekend Mr. Sims, I want an answer and a Harvard Scholarship awaits you.
Col. Slade is out to kill himself, but before he does he is going to have one last huge fling in the Big Apple, and somehow coercer's Charlie into going with him..Slade is a bitter and disillusioned soul and is one ugly human being..Charlie is just a young guy trying to make it in this world and get a good education, and he sees his scholarship blowing up in his face...
The antics in the Apple are great,,but they are all leading up to the suicide attempt..Just as Slade is ready to blow his fucking brains out, as he so adeptly told Charlie...Charlie walks in to the room by mistake..and they argue and fight bitterly over the gun, with Charlie saying go ahead you blind mother fucker kill yourself and kill me too because my life is over..Somethin snaps in Slade because, during these times with Charlie his faith in mankind is being slowly restored....
Fast forward to the The Auditorium at Baird School. The whole student body in attendance, Trask at the podium..Disciplinary committee behind him, George and big George on one side and Charlie by himself on the other.
Trask grills George but not bad and George gets away with I didn't have my contacts in, but it looked like Fred Haglemeyer, John Stokes, and Gregory Thompson... rats them all out, but I can't be sure..
Trask turns to Charlie and says, I cannot go by Mr. Trapps testimony,, it is vague and he is not sure. The answer I am looking for Mr. Sims is having to come from you...NOW DIG THIS IN COMES SLADE WITH HIS LIMO DRIVER SUN GLASSES AND CANE..AND GETS LED TO THE STAGE WHERE CHARLIE IS SITTING BY HIMSELF...Charlie jumps up pulls out a chair and Col. Slade sits down...Tras looks over, says, who is the Mr. Simms...Slade, grabs Charlies arm and says. This is Col, Frank Slade, U.S. Army retired..Charles and Mary Sims are dear friends of mine they couldn't make the trip from Oregonne (that is how he says Oregon, makes me smile right now.) today so they asked me to sit in on their behalf..In Lo ca Parenti if you will...Trask:, glad to have you with us Col. Slade  (mother fucker is going to eat those words.) Now, Mr Simms, you are either going to give me the answer I need by identifying the perpetrators of this deed, or the consequences are going to be dire, and by dire I mean expulsion from the Baird School.. Mr. Simms one last chance, because you are a coward and a phony!! Slade yells, BUT HE AIN'T NO SNITCH AND MR SIMMS DON'T WANT ONE LAST CHANCE..Trask looks at him, Pardon Me..NO I DON'T THINK I WILL. (I'll do Pacino in caps) WHAT KIND OF SHOW YOU GUYS PUTTIN ON HERE TODAY.. I WALKED IN HERE , HEARD BAIRD SCHOOL, MAKERS OF LEADERS, MAKERS OF MEN.. WELL YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL OF WHAT KIND OF LEADERS YOU ARE MAKING..WHAT IS IT, BOYS RAT ON YOUR FRIENDS, GET YOUR SCHOLARSHIP AND LIVE A GREAT LIFE, AND THANK THE BAIRD SCHOOL...BAIRD BUMS, WHAT YOU ARE PREPARING HERE IS A SHIP FULL OF SEA GOING SNITCHES. AND FREDDY, JOHNNY, AND GREGORY IF YOUR OUT THERE"""FUCK YOU TOO""" Col. Slade you are out of order!!!!!OUT OF ORDER, I'LL SHOW YOU OUTTA ORDER. WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOUR TALKIN TOO, I BEEN AROUND, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME I COULD SEE AND I DID SEE YOUNG BOYS, YOUNGER THAN THESE WITH THEIR ARMS BLOWN OFF, THEIR LEGS TORN OFF, TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO I WOULD TAKE A FLAME THROWER TO THIS FUCKIN PLACE..Col. Slade are you done???!!! OH NO, AHM JUST GETTIN WARMED UP.  I DON'T KNOW WHO WENT HERE, WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYANT, WILLIAM TELL...THEIR SPIRIT IS DEAD IF THEY EVER HAD ONE. WHAT WE REALLY HAVE HERE TODAY IS GEORGE SITTIN OVER THERE IN BIG DADDY'S POCKETS, AND CHARLIE SITTIN HERE ALONE, GEORGE COULDN'T SEE IT FALLS ON CHARLIE, SO LET'S SEE, REWARD GEORGE AND DESTROY CHARLIE...WHEN CHARLIE IS THE ONLY ONE IN HERE WITH ANY CHARACTER, AND YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THAT, BECAUSE SOMEONE HERE OFFERED TO BUY IT AND HE WASN'T SELLIN, AND THAT ................THAT IS CALLED INTEGRITY...COMMITTEE IF YOU SEND THIS SPLENDID YOUNG FOOT SOLDIER BACK TO OREGONNE WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS YOU ARE DOING A GRAVE INJUSTICE, THERE IS NO PROSTHETIC FOR A BROKEN SPIRIT...HELP THIS YOUNG MAN, THIS IS WHAT LEADERS ARE MADE OF, THIS IS THE HONOR THAT THIS VERY INSTITUTION SAYS IT WAS BUILT ON..NOURISH IT, HE WILL MAKE YOU PROUD SOME DAY.. I PROMISE YOU HE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU....Slade sits down, and says, how ya like that one Charlie...Trask hits the gavel and says the disciplinary committee will now adjourn...evidently that is not necessary..Mrs. Huncicker.....The disciplinary committee has decided that Geroge Meyers will get no recommendations from The Baird School, Mr. Haglemeyer,Stokes, and Thompson are on probation...and as for Mr, Simms..there will be no further discussions and his scholarship stands as announced.....SLADE LET'S OUT WITH THE PATENET OOOOORAHHH!!!!!! In ending my take was, sure Col. Slade finally acted human again by helping a young man live his dream..., but he wouldn't even have been there if that young man, didn't save his life..If you ever saw this movie watch it again, if you never saw it watch it in its entirety it is one of the best..One last thing, I do an impersonation of Col Slade at the hearing, and we are on one of our trips, when the General asks me if I ever saw that movie, well with about 8 vodkas in me at the airport in Florida, I start doing my SLADE,,,walking to get our bags, I mean I am yelling..General he is laughing his balls off, and over comes security, .... The General, says he is just doing the movie Scent of A Woman..the security guy says...OH YEAH!! I LOVED THAT MOVIE...!!! HE IS GOOD, AND STARTS LAUGHING WITH THE GENERAL..I hope you enjoyed this one General, it was for you.......!!love ya pal...
Yeah one of the best..if you have any time today give us some great ,movie lines of course you don't have to do a whole scene like the Simpleton...Sometimes I just get carried away, too much passion...

Great movie "Scent of a Woman" - great take Simple - it amazes me how you remember every single line from the movies that you really like. I especially liked the part where AL did the tango. There are so many movie lines we could do this forever. But here are a few:
From Shawshank Redemption (another masterpiece) "I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams, I hope". There is another great line of many from SR, don't know if this is correct but I'm sure Simple will let me know -"get busy living or dying".
Gone With the Wind - "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a dam" and "tomorrow is another day".
Streetcar Named Desire - "Stella, hey Stella"!
On Golden Pond - "Wanna dance or would you rather just suck face".
King Kong - "Oh no it wasn't the airplanes, it was Beauty killed the Beast".
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid -"who the hell are those guys" and - "for a moment there I thought we were in trouble".
The Usual Suspects (another masterpiece) "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And, like that he was gone".
Cool Hand Luke - "what we have here gentlemen is a failure to communicate".
Rebel Without a Cause - "the gun didn't have any bullets in it".
And last for now, Casablanca - "of all the gin joints in town she walks into mine".
