The Dead (Heat) Pool
 

I need some help with a phrase in Steve newest column what is a:
Byzantine Gondorfing

well...i'm guessing that it has something to do with a guy names gondorf, who got in trouble for swindling.
byzantine perhaps referring to an old style of something?

old fashioned swindling perhaps???

Sounds like a form of medieval torture. Ouch :eek:

"Byzantine gondorfing" ??

Steve, you rampallion! :D

Surprised the 'Gondorf' reference is proving itself obscure... Zig is in the ballpark though.

Not familiar with Tolkien, but is Gondorf from Lord of the Rings? The Byzantine reference has me completely baffled

Bob Gondolfo ?

Henry Gondorff and Johnny Hooker
 

proof that if you are too esoteric your audience may have trouble relating to what you write...and your points (however valid) get lost.

I'll take Steve's side on this. If people here don't get that reference, they should look it up, and see the movie IMMEDIATELY. It's one of the great treats in life.

put finger to nose...

Hey Pais...didnt you just email me this picture?

what is the name of the movie?

dumb ass ..the movie.. the sting brand new guy..

Come on.

You probably never saw " The Hustler " either.

You need to get out more.

regardless of whether or not I should know a movie that was released before I was born....I stand by what I said earlier.

Thankfully I've seen a great many movies that came out before I was born.

bite me andrew.

No I haven't.....I am out too much which is why I don't watch old school movies that were created before I was a thought
