How was your summer of 2014?
- Thread starter DragonD
- Start date
There is nothing original, it's all been done in the movies or TV:
The ex-wife apologized for everything, said she wants to leave her new husband and come back home. ("The horror." Apocalypse Now, 1979)
My best friend got a new job, with new hours, so no more late morning breakfasts at the local Mexican Restaurant. But that last meal was great. ("It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of our lives, like busboys in a restaurant." Stand By Me, 1986)
One of my clients has been consistently lying to me, and got found out by the other side. Worst court hearing in the history of court hearings. ("When you pick someone to lie to Mrs. Granger, never choose your doctor or lawyer. In both cases they can be fatal." Perry Mason, The Case of The Nervous Accomplice, 1957.)
Car broke down, got towed and fixed. Then broke down again, got fixed. Then the original fix broke and it got fixed (parts under guarantee, but labor not). AC broke, antenna broke, tires going bald, and it leaks oil. ("You and that TARDIS.” Dr. Who, Mawdryn Undead, 1983)
My son got arrested, but fortunately he didn't do any of the really bad stuff and the consequences could have been much, much worse. ("Fredo? Well, he's got a good heart but he's weak, and he's stupid." The Godfather Pt. II, 1974.)
Got to travel to Santa Rosa and try the finest beer on the planet, Pliny The Elder, at the brewery. Truly a nectar of the gods, even though I only had two pints before I had to leave. Sat with strangers, talked beer, politics, geography, and psychology with people I'll never meet again, and had the best 70 minutes of the year. ("Homer no function beer well without." or "Beer. Now there's a temporary solution." The Simpsons, various.)
