Rogers (the fast food restaurant and not the cowboy). As a kid, there were few things I enjoyed more than a Double R Burger after a little league game.
My least favorite is probably Patrick Roy, and only partially because it took me about five years until I realized I was mispronouncing his name.
pretty good character in Angels In America: You don't know what all I know. I don't know what all I know. Half this shit I make up and I'm still right, learned that in the 50's.
Opps, missed this Hobbs before I posted the same. Yes, non-Redford verson, non-Redford ending. What's the last line, again? Something like, "Roy Hobbs hung his head and cried." Brutal.
Funny enough, I was just watching the video of Hex serving Broad Street Justice on Chelios, and at the end Roy (pronounced by the announcers as Patrick Rwa, like in Rwanda) starts challenging him (from across the ice as Hextall is being held back by multiple refs), and I can't help but think how much I don't like him.
... Jones Jr. The reason I love boxing. Hell, I even enjoyed his album.
Siegfried & ... . The Mirage just isn't the same place now. And as unbelievably awful as Father of the Pride was, the parts with S&R were confoundingly funny. (Not that S&R wrote or performed any of it, but still.) Looking back, I'd really like to know if the S&R bits were funny on their own, or just in comparison to the horror that the rest of the show was. I always thought that those bits would have made hysterical 5-minute shorts.

ReplyDeleteWhen Roy looked into the boy's eyes he wnated to say it wasn't but couldn't, and he lifted his hands to his face and wept many bitter tears.
