Summer's here, so its time for the yearly balcony picts. The giant blue flowers are morning glory vines -- they last exactly one day.

Taken this morning--

A couple of days ago--

Remembered via digital film--

Usually, I don't care about useless stuff, but this has got to be the best invention!

Possibly the Greatest Invention of this Millennium

The AP reports that 26-year old Jeff Libby has created and sold what will probably be looked back on as the first great invention of the 21st century. Stem cells are cool and all, but this guy has really done it. He has created and sold the first “Table-Top Beer Tap” system to a sports bar in Atlanta. It cost the bar $50,000 in total, but they’ve got 30 of them installed in the place. Isn’t this on the level of flying cars and rocket packs? As kids we always wished we could just somehow rewind live TV and up stepped TIVO to make our dreams a reality. Jeff Libby is 2008’s version of TIVO. Thank you Jeff.

The system measures your pourage and charges you by the ounce. Makes sense to me.

Saturday was such a nice day--

However, something was astir... when you see this crowd, you get worried...

Suddenly, it was bedlam!

Wow, that was crazy! I had to get out of there and do a little shopping. When I returned, it was over--

Guess what?

This ain't over you bastards! I'm gonna get you guys, even if it takes another 30 years!"
Tough Guys - guessed by no one (I admit, this one was a toughie)

"Hi George. Any idea how we get out of here?"
"I don't know. I've been all over this place. I've been up this street, up that one, up that one. How are we gonna get out here?"
"Why don't you try the high road up there?"
"Okay. I'll take the high road, you take the low road. So long, Uncle Charles."
"Ciao, George."
The Pink Panther - guessed by no one. Errrr, not good--

"The son of a bitch is dead, finally."
"The son of a bitch better stay dead."
Hopscotch - Another tough one. Maybe I should have done the "That's my house" Myerson quote--

[last lines]
"Madness! Madness!"
The Bridge on the River Kwai - per Wikipedia, one of the most memorable last lines in the history of motion pictures. For shame!

FYI: When I first watched the movie when I was 15-16 it really turned my stomach over. Yes, it takes place in WWII, but its much more than a war movie. If you didn't think they made movies with impact back then, watch this--

Anthony Bourdain interviews Chef Eric Ripert

Its a very good idea, geoduck

1) Pick some of your favorite movies.
2) Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3) Post them here for everyone to guess.
4) Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5) NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions to answer!

"Oh, no."
"Oh, he's so happy being Teddy Roosevelt."

I'm not a die-hard Giant fan, but highing out with a friend made it a fun day yesterday. Did you see Jerry Jones come down from his box and wait by the coach the last 2-3 weeks? Oh, the best part? I just heard that Jerry Jones had champion tickets for the next game PRINTED before yesterday's game, and the Giants managed to snag a ticket or two. How's that for motivation?
