How come when I was 13 I thought "Rookie Of The Year" was an unbearably boring movie, but now as a drunk 23 year old watching it on cable I think it's great?

I've never been an athlete, and I've never hit a baseball with a bat in my life. Probably swung like 8 times in my life, never hit. But anyhow, I remember this movie about a kid who's tendons after breaking an arm make him pitch superfast and he gets signed to the Cubs, and as a youth I thought it was worthless. I wanted to see Commando or Predator or Terminator 2. But now, as I watch it on cable, after drinking 8 cans of Shlitz, it seems like a great movie. It has Gary Bucey (sp?), who is always awesome, and that guy who plays the janitor on Scrubs, one of the only sitcoms I'll watch (even though usually it is replaced in the thursday lineup by that Will & Grace show that always seems to bring out the homophobe hate monger in me). What happened?

drunk may be the keyword here. But Scrooged was a hell of a lot better recently than it was as a kid.

I always liked Scrooged. But then again I'm a sucker for Bobcat Goldthwait, and Bill Murray can do absolutely no wrong (Where The Buffalo Roam).

I think I just didn't GET Scrooged as a kid. References to Richards Burton and Pryor flew over my head.

Oooh, a whole 8 cans? (serious point -posts about how much you've drunk are dull, unless you're posting to Ask a drunk, where it's largely the point, and I'm on my fourth bottle of the wine of the night so frankly GET WITH THE PROGRAM)

See? Dull drunk.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 3 May 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Schlitz = 5.0% or something, and knowing Helltime he drank them in about 45 minutes

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 3 May 2003 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

drunkeness and nostalgia would be my guess

There is no way I can respond to this thread without sounding like a dick

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 3 May 2003 01:29 (twenty-two years ago)

(other than accusing Helltime Producto of being a big girl's blouse as far as booze is concerned)

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 3 May 2003 01:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Helltime Producto will completely put you under the table, I can vouch, and I will challenge you to a loser's face-off afterwards

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 3 May 2003 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Barring the atlantic it would be a lot of fun to make this happen.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 3 May 2003 01:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I am quietly confident.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 3 May 2003 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok, 12 cans of Shlitz double malt liquor, 6 shots of anejo tequila, 4 pints of Erdinger, and 2 Manhattans later I realize (after a few hors away from the computer and finding the responses to this thread) that who ever the fuck this pink faggot Matt is, my mission in life is to stangle him to death with a lead pick axe. Come to Baltimore, bitch, we'll see who the alcy tolerance champ is.

But first, it's jack off to porn time.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Saturday, 3 May 2003 03:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I apologize for that misspelled outburst. I only strangle people with soldering irons anyhow.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Saturday, 3 May 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

DO YOU SEE?

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 3 May 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

You know that scene in Indiana Jones where the girl wins the drinking contest with the huge fat Chinese guy, and three minuts later she's engaging in witty banter and running around and kicking ass? That's Matt.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 3 May 2003 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay Kenan, you win. Anytime you want to come with Helltime Jr. (me) feel free. I'll buy, too.

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 3 May 2003 06:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Are we arguing, or organizing the rowdiest FAP ever?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 3 May 2003 06:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Both, ya moran

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 3 May 2003 07:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Who stole the rookie from the nookie bar?

― bedroom, Saturday, 3 May 2003 07:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Best FAP of all time clearly, you paying my air fare?

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 3 May 2003 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Bring on it fuckfaces!

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 3 May 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Just all come to NYC in July for the megaFAP and we'll settle this.
