"Don't mess with the bull mister, you'll get the horns"

I'm sure Stubby will agree with me when I say this is truly one of the great scenes in American film...

Bender: Eat! My! Shorts!
Vernon: You just bought yourself another Saturday.
Bender: Ugh, I'm crushed.
Vernon: You just bought one more right there.
Bender: Well, I'm free the Saturday after that. Beyond that, I'm gonna have to check my calendar.
Vernon: Good. Because it’s going to be filled. We'll keep going. Want another one? Say the word. Just say the word. Instead of going to prison you'll come here. Are you through?
Bender: No.
Vernon: I'm doing society a favor.
Bender: So?
Vernon: That’s another one right now. I've got you the rest of your natural born life if you don't watch your step! You want another one?
Bender: Yes.
Vernon: You got it! Right there, that’s another one pal.
Claire: Cut it out!
Vernon: You through?
Bender: Not even close, BUD.
Vernon: Good. You got one more, right there.
Bender: You really think I give a shit?
Vernon: Another. You through?
Bender: How many is that?
Brian: That’s seven including when you asked Mr. Vernon here if Barry Manilow knew that he raided his closet.
Vernon: Now it’s eight. You stay out of this.
Brian: Excuse me, sir, it’s seven.
Vernon: Shut up, Peewee. You're mine, Bender. For two months, I've gotcha.

Brother can you spare a Garcia Vega?

1994 Lt. Stalkfleet, Heff, Miscellaneous "Independent Contractor", Chag & Dancer

After our early evening beer chug we repaired to the outside for brandy & cigars only to find this fine gentleman just (um...) begging to be in this picture. Truth be told we were not going to let this moment slip away after all Jake is about getting out of your comfort zone and doing some things you don't normally do. It's all in good fun but looking back we should have invited him in for the chug-fest.

Less Than Jake:

Gentlemen,
I was quite disturbed while reading this article in a Denmark newspaper last week. Is it possible that people are starting to see Chag’s blog? Are people jumping on the band wagon?

Who are these fools living off the Jake name for the sake of their stupid music group? It is clear to me that they are inferior but why would they be so blasphemous? What is the DOG reference? Let’s hope there is no rioting due to this shameful display.

Classic Jake photos:

Here are just a couple of great photos taken on Jake Day.

This is Jake 5 (1996 roughly) and features Heff at left Cool Chief, Rosco, Squirrel & Lt. Stockfleet. We were pretty well into our day at this point as you can see from the look on Squirrel's face.
This one was taken at Jake 12 (2003) and here we have Hub at the immediate left reviewing the bill for accuracy then there's Heff (on phone) Dancer (consoling) and finally Squirrel being quite animated if not amorous.

They don't get more classic than these folks.

What the hell happened to you?

If you want to know what 20 miles of bad road looks like, here you go.

Does anyone else remember sneaking into "A Chorus Line - The Movie" or did I dream that?

NHL gambling scandal = not good. Ramification speculations? Anyone? Pete Rose come into play here? Hall of Fame implications?
Discuss amongst yourselves...

The real question though is... would you?

Dee Bio:

Name - Dee (a.k.a. Snuff or Snuffy)
Jake Status - Junior Member (1 year of his 3 year apprenticeship semi-completed)
Weight - 200 lbs.
Status - Married (I think), children (unknown)
Occupation - He's still bouncing at Stocks right?
Golf handicap - 37

We've all known Dee for it must be 20 years but he's always been more on the periphery of the group for most, if not all, of that time. We'd see him around town or at Jake Day here or there. Before 2005 he had only been what we'd call an "incidental participant" in the days events. This means he'd meet us out in the afternoon and hang till some unspecified time that evening. Last year he asked if he could be part of the entire day beginning with golf in the morning and running through whatever we had planned. The boys were only too glad to have him as our newest "Junior" member. His other nickname is Snuff or Snuffy because his last name rivals the lovable Mr. Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street (sans hair). Here's looking forward to Dee's Sophomore year and his sucessfully negotiating the Jake apprenticeship!

GREAT JAKE MOMENT: (Jake 14) 6:45AM shows up at golf after getting home at 3:30AM the previous night (2005)

JAKE LOW-LIGHT: (Jake 14) Gets dehydrated after racing never to return (2005)
hmmm...

Top 20 Best Songs Ever:

On this date in 1959 Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper all died in a plane crash in Iowa during a snowstorm on their way to Fargo, ND.

Don McLean later wrote - The Day the Music Died - a song about that event and the state of Rock n' Roll in the years that followed.

Go to this link to read about what all the different verses in the song were refering to. Interesting reading if you're so inclined. Great tune.

Annoyance of today:

Can everyone please stop using the phrase "at the end of the day" it's enough already**. Where was this phrase 8 years ago? I for one, am going back to the the old stand by "when all is said and done". It would be helpful if you would too. For what it's worth I also don't like "combo" words like mayhaps, fantabulous and I really don't like when someone uses the word per se. As in, "oh, I don't actually live in the city, 'per se'". C'mon gimmie a break with that. Now back to your regularly scheduled lives...

** [This probably goes without saying but] I don't have a problem with someone using this phrase referring to the end of an actual day.
