This one time my BIL (my wife's brother) was visiting from out- of- state. One night during the visit we had calzones (probably a local term but kinda' like a pizza but the entire outside is dough and it is eaten like a sandwich (grinder, hoagy, sub sandwich, et. al)) for dinner, and there were two: a really big one and a really, really extra- big one. My wife asked him which one he wanted and he said "I think I can choke down the big one."
Now this is going to surprise some of you who may know me a bit because it is so out- of- character but..... I never let him or my wife forget that one. In the Home- Lowes buying a container of drywall screws?.... I holler out "Hey, think you can choke down the big [box, can, container, whatever]?". At Wally World buying groceries and wondering how much hamburger to buy? "Hey, later on, you're gonna' wanna' choke down the big one, right?". At the motorcycle store looking at tires? "Hey, think the bike can choke down the big one?". Oh yeah, the gift that keeps on giving....
So I throw some stuff out there once in a while for someone to work with. You know, providing a little potential humorous material back at the world that has provided so very much of it to me.
And I am being careful not to over- use the Easy Boys! 'cause there is always the danger of overdoing humor. I certainly do not subscribe to the theory that 'Nothing exceeds like excess'.
Back to the listening part: As I said, I tripped over 'Time is on my side' by the 'Stones. That song is used throughout the movie 'Fallen', and it was used to mark 'the evil entity', which moved from person to person throughout the movie. One of the stars was John Goodman back in he olden' days when he was a pretty meaty guy (Easy Boys!) and when he became 'the evil entity', he hums (Boys!) or whistles the song and as he is walking along, he does an unbelievably fantastic physical impression of Mick Jagger, doing the strut walk with his head projected out and bobbing. So John Goodman, a man large enough to have his own zip code, does a great Jagger, a guy who is pretty close to two- dimensional he is so thin. So now I chuckle every single time I hear that song and have been doing so for twenty years or so now 'cause of that caricature. :-)
