Lalo Lives

I too don’t like dual analyzers. Too much “you’re great, No YOU are.” But I watched this one since Courtney does such a great job. That said, it was 80+ min of ok detail, but not the intense scrutiny Courtney usually delivers. I’ll be curious as to what her take is when she does her individual study of 0613.

I believe it is called BEIRUT. The character of Hank got some bad P.R. in my opinion. He was meant to be curmudgeonly as a method of covering up his own insecurities. Yes, he was rude to Marie when he was rehabbing. I most certainly would not have behaved that way to my wife, but it was clear Marie was up to the task and she simply brushed it off, MOSTLY. It did make her cry, and probably contributed to her extracurricular “shopping.” But Hank was a dude with flaws. He had this tough guy armor to shield himself from the real fears he had about his own shortcomings. Marie accepted his faults just as much as he accepted hers. I thought Hank’s character was rich with layers. I have not seen a great deal of Hamm’s work, but what I have seen has been very good. Great voice, charming, sharp looking guy, great sense of comedic timing. Lots of appeal. Maybe I need to start MAD MEN. (I may or not watch BEIRUT. I lost a very very close friend in the 1983 bombing. Not sure if that will be covered in the movie. Sure, it has been 39 years. But loss is loss.)

Spent a LONG time searching through Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and all the other services I rarely use when I caught a glimpse of Dean Norris with HAIR! He was in BEIRUT with Jon Hamm. Late 70’s and early 80’s had some truly bad hair styles. Hank’s, err, Dean’s, was pretty cheesy. Haven’t seen movie. Don’t know if based on true story, a la, ARGO, but if I do watch it I’ll leave a report card. Glad another BCS alum is finding work.

Oh yeah, I know that, but those philistines just pick out that luscious and succulent and tender lobster meat and dip it or smear it in mayo. Usually COLD! We here in Amerka dip WARM lobster meat in hot butter the way God intended. It’s in the Bible. The book of Genitals. ————— To be fair, a good lobster roll is heaven on earth. And if I lived in the northeast I’m sure I would weigh 1200 pounds due to all the good food up there. Lobster is the least of my worries as it does not fit in my budget. Maybe once a year. Bummer. P.S. IF you have a good lobster roll recipe, I’m all ears. Seriously.

Bingo. I’d do that for my wife. *** Got a notification and need to clear things up. IT DOES NOT MATTER what I think, but I may have misread what was written and ALSO created motivation for Jimmy based on my interpretation of Jimmy's actions. My thought was that at least ONE of his reasons for doing what he did was to KEEP KIM OUT of the slammer. That is what I meant when I said I'd "lean into" 86 years for my wife. I think a lot of husbands would do that. And wives too. I wouldn't do it just so she'd think I was a swell guy. So maybe I'm a jerk. Keep her out of prison? Yes. Give me 86. Keep her alive. Yes. Give me 86. Make her think I'm super cool and wonderful. Nope. Not gonna do it. So I'm confused. Did Jimmy do what he did to ATONE only? Did he do it so Kim thinks well of him? Is it both? Is it WAY more that that? Are there many reasons? Gotta be.

Yeah, call unexpected. He was very courteous to the young lady.

Well, if it hadn’t been for that (wholly unjustified) restraining order (might have been a protective order; potato, potahto) that Vince, Peter, and Tom had requested, I would never have been forced to seek out this forum. They were my chief source of information about BCS. But my dadgum binocular strap got caught on a branch, snapped, and there went my 10x50’s into Vince’s pool. Well, technically into his 7 layer nacho dip, and then into the pool. If you don’t want people watching your pool party, don’t plant 200 year-old live oaks just outside your fence. Anyhow, 401 feet is a special number for me now. —————————————— Lots of smart and funny people here. And kind people. It has been illuminating and enjoyable.

Maybe upon reading and hearing some comments like those in this thread the G&G boys will give BCS (and us) an El Camino-type made-for-TV vignette. One that will fill gaps, add flavor, supply color, and create a sense of satisfaction. One can hope. ——————- We went to the tailor to get super 170 Tasmanian wool, real mother-of-pearl buttons, and, of course, Sea Island cotton with the club collar and French cuffs, plus the tie bar and cuff links. Or maybe beautiful Italian wools and super 100s and also some English suitings from Holland & Sherry. We then went to the spa wanting hair tinting, teeth whitening, a stimulating workout with a magnificently beautiful and seductively fit trainer. We wanted a massage, a steam bath, a sauna, and a Jacuzzi. Perhaps a mani-pedi, new nails, and a Brazilian for the ladies & metrosexuals. All followed up with a mimosa, a Moscow Mule, or Zafiro Anejo in a tall, $100 shot glass that weighs a ton. What we got was a pair of khakis, a polo, and the advice to floss and eat more fiber.

I read that this is the longest Ep yet. But 107% of the broadcast will be of that damned d-bag saying High Frive for Wendy’s.

Jimmy finds Kim, in Florida or ABQ, wherever, hands her the diamonds, then dashes through the desert to his Esteem. While digging underneath, he is about to clutch the gunny sack full of cash and freedom when the sands shift and he is crushed to death. Only his legs stick out like the Wicked Witch of the East. Aannnnd CUT!

I can’t tell any difference between Duke’s and Hellman’s either. We always had Hellman’s when I was a kid. But now, as an insecure man, I buy Duke’s because the name makes me feel more manly. The John Wayne of mayonnaises. Cooking tip: a thin smear of mayo on the bread in a grilled cheese is not bad. Hardly gourmet, but for soup and sammich night, it ain’t too bad. I just don’t remember if it goes inside or outside the bread. One of those food network cooking show people mentioned it. Maybe ask a Brit. They put mayo on anything. I am curious what brand they like though. By a healthy margin the Brits like Hellman’s. But they put it on lobster, so their judgement is questionable. That’s actually what started the American Revolution.

Last paragraph seems to work. I’m not really concerned about the argument one way or another. As I’ve said, people change, lie, obfuscate, concoct, for many reasons or no reasons. Jimmy, Saul, Gene (pick one) has more stories than Carter’s has pills. So I’m not bothered by any seeming inconsistency. But the pain aspect of PeterPirate’s argument makes sense to me. Some things are just too painful to be reminded of. (I know, I know, preposition at the end of a sentence…) I once had a career that was all but predestined. Practically etched in stone. Until said stone cracked. So I refused to view this ‘career’ for years until I had kids. Then I grew up and realized I was being a big fat (rhymes with wussy). Pain is a driving force, for good or bad, and may have been one for JSG in his library of ever changing stories.

Not sure I want to watch this.

Question: Say events play out where Kim is facing time, gets bail, and Jimmy offers to get her disappeared. Would Kim do it?

Damn, I hope not.

AL BU QU ER QUE Say it out loud, with cadence, pause in between each section. It works. Saw it explained in a movie nearly 40 years ago.

Thanks for the legal expertise. I have a very Mayberry knowledge of such things. The "ANIMAL HUSBANDRY" thing actually happened in our neighborhood. In our first home, one entered via a street running by a nice little horse farm. One night some lonely guy got caught with his overalls down behind some poor horse. (I guess he got jack-lighted by a somnambulant neighbor.) The guy even brought a step ladder for the occasion. The cops got a laugh and the guy actually did time. Multiple offender. That's a sad little man right there.

Is it not illegal to record those conversations? I'm an amateur. Not a lawyer. Not debating. Just asking. Now, if ya want to talk about animal husbandry, I'm ready to go. I will say, it's not what I thought it was. As the security guard at the zoo told me.

That actually would have been very clever. But, I read somewhere that Waterworks was WW for Walter White while Saul Gone was SG for Saul Goodman.

My in-laws put Lot's wife on every dish. They may be trying to kill me slowly. Every time we eat over there I have to drink a gallon of water to flush that mess out. I'm with you, less is better. Food actually tastes good if one is not bathing in salt, sugar, and all that other junk.

We Americans wouldn't recognize food without excessive salt or sugar.

Hoot owl mentioned in lyrics. Many Indian cultures have associated owls with death, for what it is worth.

I agree. I feel like a barrel of pickled sphincters the next day, but they're good. EVERYthing in OUTBACK is salty.

I've known people like that. They get bored with the truth and just make up stuff to sound cool. People are weird.

When she said ‘I Love Bloomin Onion’ I was right with her. It was so wistful. those things are amazing.
