@Grey: I'm no economics grad, but that doesn't seem to be the best tactic to extract maximum value.

@BigFatHippo: @Steve: BTW, and hate to bring this back to baseball, but what kind of negotiation tactic is "the train has left the station, Peavy's gotta go?" Don't you say, "Hey, we'll keep him if no one makes us a really big offer?" Do you tell other teams, Peavy's gotta go? This has me a bit crazy.

@BigFatHippo: I'd argue with the 'Camp, but I'd be wrong.

@Grey: Nothing like The Skulls or Dawson’s Creek.

I’ll give you one line by John Mellencamp, “Earl’s kissin his sister again.”

And one by Earl, “I’m feelin alright, all bullet wounds considered.”

Pulp Fiction in a rural setting.

@Steve: Man, that doode has a good voice. I wish he were around to narrate Razzball: The Movie. @BigFatHippo: I actually think she'd allow me to rent a Joshua Jackson movie and that's why I'm a bit scared of it.

@Steve: Ah yes, crikey. That's the word I was looking for. You're not English are you? Demand a raise in your meeting, or you'll quit and move to America. Just a thought.

@Grey: If you don't rent Lone Star State of Mind and watch it with her I'm gonna pout. Baby Mama? Watched it, forgot it immediately.

I gotta go to a meeting for a couple of hours now – I’m not ignoring y’all.

@BigFatHippo: Ha! That would be “Crikey”.

And she doesn’t know about Razzball – the subject has never come up. I can just see myself telling her about it. It would be like trying to explain how I have these imaginary friends.

But it’s true! They recommend books and everything!

@Grey: You watch this:

and tell me it’s not the best opening to a TV show you’ve ever seen.

A lot of it is available in 10-minute chunks on YouTube, but it’s not quite the same as seeing it on TV.
