Manly men of manliness






















"We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?"

"The open bike path, fleet nature, latte at your lips, and the sun in your hair."

"Wrong! Cleveland! What is best in life?"

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."

"That is good! That is good."

Graves, you swine!

As always, your post leaves me baffled, and so foolishly I clicked the links only to receive a 404 Page Not Found error on Cleveland, which when you think about it is a pretty good metaphor.

Regards,

Tengrain

PS - Eat at Ray's!

You just wait until all those chemicals from plastic leach into the drinking water turning Cleveland into No. 1 for gurly men. But until then enjoy the momentary title.

Does Ray's use plastic water glasses?

Baseball is majorly out of my league! (See what I did there??) ;-)

Doc said...

Best effing line of the whole movie! Thanks for the trip down amnesia lane.

See, good things happen to everybody and every city once in a while.

Randal-

Wonder Woman alert over at Bad Habit.

susan said...

What's this about the Blue Jays losing a game? You mean it isn't still 1992?

Anyway, even if the ignorant do have derogatory comments to make about Cleveland you prove them wrong by living there. It takes a manly man to stay in a city that's famous for grilled pierogi and cheese sandwiches.

ps: 2nd comment attempt after 404

Cleveland placed a wussie 15th? What a bunch of wimps. And you know, of course, about that new chain of quiche cafes that will be opening several branches in Cleveland :)

And to think Conan the Barbarian went and became governor of California, we do live in interesting times.

Congrats of the Indian wins, but they were playing Canadians after all.

I don't even know what we are talking about anymore. But that won't stop me from commenting. Okay, I know, my friend's daughter is friends with Arnold's daughter. The girls are all getting dressed for a night out. Arnold sees his daughters outfit and said his voice booming in disapproval, "No, you can't do that." The girls all laughed. It was as if they were in a movie and he had a new catch phrase that would be used by millions. There's "I'll be back" and now there is "No, you can't do that." I realize this has nothing to do with baseball. I am leaving now before you say "No, you can't do that." Oh, and, I'll be back.

Take it easy with those testosterone-promoting tablets, Randal. They seem to be working a little too well.

Tim said...

I heard Arnold has a little weenie from all those steroids...

That's why he has a hard time giving up cigars...

Just trying to boost your spirits Randal...

Laura said...

First of all...
Excuse me Beach???!!!! What the hell are you going on about? I'd say Cleveland was lucky that day and that's all!
Sheesh!
Let me just scroll back for a second....
Oh!!! And you made that comment on Canada Day too you bastardo!
My Sicilian Evil Eye has now turned towards you. Watch out Mister.

Now..
Congratulations Randal. I am so happy that at last you are feeling very Manly in that you beat a far superior team.

Hmmm... I wonder if this was the "lamentation of their women" that you spoke of....

((Hugs)) jerk

Commander Zaius said...

I unconditionally surrender Sunshine. In fact drift over to Charleston Daily Photo and you will read the comment of tribute I made to the fine people and nation of Canada on the same day.

Laura said...

As Massimo says.. "It's not Okay".

I'm kidding.. it's okay. :P

((Hugs))

I saw the title in my feed reader and figured you were talking about sports. I'm pleasantly surprised to see you're talking about shoe shopping.

Randal Graves said...

tengrain, I can't help it if you don't know how to use you computerizing machine.

demeur, don't be silly. Ray's has to use the leftover skulls for something.

david, if only I had a bucket of rotten vegetables!

doc, I think that constitutes 78% of Ahnold's speaking part in that flick.

liberality, I'll gladly trade this in for a sporting title.

nunly, that made me sad. Viva hot pants!

susan, no, it takes a poor man to do so. Can I borrow a million dollars, please?

But I do like grilled cheese.

tom, where's Liberace?

BB, it's a temporary madness. The Indians will continue to play no greater than .400 ball, trust me.

LBR, no, you can't do that.

I said that in imitation of Ahnold, it was very impressive.

It's not a too-mah.

SWA, yeah, I wouldn't want to end up like Alzado. Who won a ring. After leaving Cleveland.

tim, so that's why Rush is always chomping away. Crap, Cheetohs shrinks the weenie, too?

sunshine, I get a hug and a jerk? Did you plant a limpet mine on my back?

Bah! Beach, don't back down, tell Canadastan to go to hell! Blue Jays, Maple Leafs, you all suck!

lisa, you should know by now than no one is more of a footwear aficionado than I.
