Hello this is Bob “2009” Hope. It’s a new year and I wanna tell you, I’m really excited.
Did you see Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve? Isn’t that Dick Clark something? I haven’t heard that much slurred speech since Larry McCarty ordered another round of Everclear. Isn’t that wild?
And how about that George Bush finishing his term, isn’t he wild? I haven’t seen somebody so happy to leave a job since Dan McCarty quit his job in the Bazely Market Meat Freezer. Isn’t that something?
And how about that Barack Obama Inauguration, wasn’t that something? Did you see Aretha Franklin’s hat? I haven’t seen anything that ridiculous on someone’s head since 1978 when Kelly McCarty got a Curly Perm. |

And you know, the Oscars are coming up. Did you see Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino? I don’t think I’ve seen that many wrinkles on the screen since the McCartys showed home movies in the basement on an old bed sheet. Isn’t that something?
And how bout
Clint's famous line, "Get off of my lawn"! I haven't
seen that much passion in a line since Bob McCarty's "You
make one move and you're dead where you stand" statement at
Coyle Park.
I also haven't
heard such a gravelly voice since Dan McCarty told Principal Smith
what happened just before he got clotheslined by the chain at the
carwash while running to school. That's wild.
And speaking of
famous McCarty lines transferred into Gran Torino, I don't recall
hearing Clint say those immortal words "Oh my gosh. The cars
wrecked" in talking about his car.
And how about that Mickey Rourke, isn’t he wild? I haven't seen a down and out, hopeless character like that at the movies since…..well, since Mickey Rourke sold me popcorn at that Mann Theater in Venice.
Good Night Everybody! |
