I think the exact quote is "Two years at the Sorbonne and she still can't get it right". Do I get extra credit for that? ;>) --Dunbar

"My Favorite Year" it tis...
One my absolute favorite films bar none.. An hysterical ode to Sid Ceasar and his writing team.. The Benjy character (Mark Baker) is based on Woody Allen's experiences as the freshman writer on 'Your Show of Shows' the week Errol Flynn was to be a guest...
KING: Who are you to talk to me like that you Jiminy Cricket pest bastard. Alright, Swann stays... SY: King... KING: Yes. SY: YES! KING: Now you.. you're gonna watch him.. Swann better be at every rehersal sober, or its' your ass.. You see Sy.. This kid's got balls. Selma Diamond, in a case of art imitating life, has a role as Lil the wardrobe lady, and she herself WAS the female writer on the Ceasar show, portrayed in the film by Anne DeSalvo as Alice Miller. Diamond was also the model for Rose Marie's comedy writer character "Sally" on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." KING: You look real nice today, Alice. Did you get those shoes I sent you? ALICE: Oh yeah. KING: Why did you send them back? ALICE: They were the wrong size. And they were used. The film boasts a terrific ensemble cast including the uproarious Lainie Kazan as Benjy's mother, "Mrs. Belle May Steinberg Carroca of Brooklyn, NY and Miami Beach two weeks every year." Kazan and Mark-Linn Baker's scenes are priceless... BELLE: So Swanny.. BENJY: Ma...! BELLE: WHAT?! BENJY: He's an actor, not a river.. Lou Jacobi as Uncle Morty: "Did you schtup her?... What.. what.. what do ya want.." Cameron Mitchell as Karl Rojeck: "Dis is a stupid, stupid show..." Joseph Bologna in the only good turn of his career as Stan 'King' Kaiser.. Tony DeBenedetto as limo driver Alfi Bombacelli And Bill Macy in perhaps his funniest performance ever as syncophantic head writer Sy Benson... I've seen it 40-50 times.. It NEVER gets old.. Like kind of a Jewish "Caddyshack"..

Looking at this race I think we are going to get a price. Catman Running has a great pattern and could get a great trip.
I watched all of Hawthorne races from today. Some things to take from it if you don't play Hawthorne that much are... 1) Their was a serious tail wind on the backstretch, up to 40 miles per hour at some points 2) If you weren't within two lengths of the lead, you had no shot, same will be tomorrow unless they do something drastic. 3) Stay away from Shane Laviolette, he is as worthless as they come 4) RAIL RAIL RAIL
