You guys are better than Laurel and Hardy.

in the burbs we concern ourselves with such things rather than endless social causes like global warming and politics...

Jed-thanks. It's the first time in my life that I get to be Stan Laurel. He's much funnier thna Oliver anyway.

Even worse is Bob's a good eater, am I right?

World class, but regretably, he does have excellent taste buds. His restaurant reviews are actually helpful as opposed to the vast majority of his drivel.

lmao

who said you are the stan figure??

Did you two ever appear on Ally McBeal?

I would be the anorexic prosecutor and Bob the defendant banker. He would get off with a plea bargain, ratting out his confederates. Barry White in the background.

who is barry white....??

does he live in cambridge?

This is absolute proof of Bob's disconnect with modern society. Not knowing Barry White is dreadful.

BW was a singer of worldwide fame with a very deep voice. His songs were played constantly on Ally McBeal. He's dead, so he does not live in Cambridge.

who is ally mcbean?

she must live in cambridge too....

some of us have other things to do other than to sit around in our cambridge non-paded cells and listen to music and mindless TV

Both of you are invited to my home for dinner. That should settle things! (With spouses, of course.)

Are we reserving October 11th this year, gentlemen? SOME of us have flights to book, after all. (Although I will also be out that way in September for a check-up at Dana-Farber. So far, so good!)

BC

BC-we are a go for 10/11/08. Lunch and dinner. Also, there will be many out-of-towners, so we may do dinner on 10/10/08 as well. Please remember that 10/12/08 is my birthday. This may not be a coincidence.

I accept your invitation.

I am anticipating a playoff between Tampa Bay and New York that weekend (or will the division winners already have been determined?) - hope that won't ruin your birthday, Andy...

Anyway, with a tight race, I am looking forward to this weekend's battle in Beantown - The RS have been virtually unbeatable at home so my expectations are low...

Craig-I too am looking forward to the weekend series. The Yankees are fimally playing like a real team. Beckett, wakefield and Lester. Mussina will not pich.

what nite bookchick?? i can come any nite... if andy comes hide the silverware...

i will do a general mailing for the oct GTG shortly---before end of august...you are on the list...

we did a short posting on the europe board to which a few replied...do a search on the asia board---'boston 2008 GTG'

i'm planning a trip to Bangkok in search of this entity called Bob. is Bob real? is Bob a God of some kind? Can Bob actually cure cancer? Do I look for a red x on a mailbox on Suk? Does he live in a Wat? does Bob drive a cab? Is Bob really going to be the next prime minister? is Bob tight with the king? does Bob really mean big ole boob?

he is all of the above and more...he does not reside in bkk however...only his spirit is there...try checking out each spirit house to see if you can find him...

So Bob admits that he's a big old boob? Finally! The restraining order is still in place, so he won't be in Bangkok for a while. He'll be trying his penny ante scams here in the US.
