Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. - Kevin Costner, "Bull Durham"
This was a fine speech in an outstanding movie, and while I'm generally in favor of opening gifts on Christmas morning itself, I will be opening gifts for the next three days and I'm fine with that comprimise. Life is full of them.
But before I leave for the open road that leads straight to my grandparents house - a land where the Internet does not roam - let me say that I hope everyone has a hell of a good holiday as some time off sounds perfect to me right now. 
Ho, ho, ho . . . And safe travels,
BDS
Merry Xmas, BDS.
Have a great Xmas guys! Be careful out there!
All I want for Christmas is cash, cars and ladies.
Drive safe, and have a great Christmas!
Χαρούμενα Χριστούγεννα
Happy and safe Christmas, $$. Hug your family tight and enjoy the time with them. Blessed be.
Merry Christmas! Enjoy your family and time off. ho .. ho .. ho..
Merry Christmas and have a safe trip!
Not a Costner fan, but whoever penned those lines is a great writer. Have a wonderful holiday!
Happy Holidays! Be careful out there...
ps
Is that somebody's mom in that photo? ;)
Safe travels B and don't do anything I wouldn't do. Merry Xmas xx
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
and many blessings for the new year!
Merry Christmas and when can I open that?
Hope your Christmas was merry and fun.
Dude - I just watched "You Don't Mess With The Zohan". I remember your review from several months back. Matinee? Purchase on DVD? Perhaps..., perhaps NOT.
I'm not a big Sandler fan either, but "Little Nikki" (which I think you STILL haven't seen) is much better.
Anywho, if I stop Post Jacking your "Quick Hit Friday"'s, will you - for the love of God, start commenting on my blog again ?!?
You ARE missed, LOL !
Heff - Hope you had a hell of a good holiday. Merry Xmas.
Nobich - Merry Christmas to you, and luckily the roads were just fine where I was driving.
Native Minnow - I cannot argue with that list. I hope you got your wishes (at least some of them) & Merry belated Christmas.
Nick - Χαρούμενα Χριστούγεννα right back at you. I hope that wasn't a curse . . .
Bostonpobble - Thank you Pobble. I hope you did the same and had a very good holiday as mine went well.
Linda - Merry Christmas to you, and I hope you saw some movies as I did not and am now far behind. Oh well, it was fun anyway. Ha.
Miss Ash - I hope you had a great holiday & safe travels without getting buried under snow.
Wendy - Costner is hit and miss with me, but I agree about the lines. Ron Shelton wrote the script and directed the movie, which I consider to be one of the best sports films ever made (even though it transcended that genre). Happy holidays to you.
Jlee - I hope you had a very good Christmas despite having to work. And I'll investigate the mother question as I am nothing if not a thorough researcher. Ha.
Romany Angel - Maybe you should have included a list of those things in the comment. Ha. Hope you had a great holiday as I'm just irritated it is now over.
WhatIgot - Merry Christmas, and there's a package joke in there somewhere (and yet I'm not going to touch it for once).
Boxer - It was, and I hope yours went smoothly and were able to dig out of the snow up there. I would have liked to have seen some white stuff, but it's a fine line, eh? Merry Christmas.
Heff - Ha. I am not a big Sandler fan, and never saw 'Nicky' as it was supposedly horrible. I can't quite believe that 'Zohan' was worse, but then again, I've been surprised before. And it's nothing personal on the comments as I am behind on everything and everyone out there as I was traveling, drinking and running around without Internet access a majority of the week. Now, I'm back . . .
That's good, as I was starting to feel that there was a Heff's Bar And Grill embargo of sorts, lol !
Heff - Glad we cleared that up . . . Ha. I rarely embargo anything or anyone.
