Larry Bird: “After we won the 1986 championship me and my wife Dinah went out to K.C. Jones’s restaurant. He had a rib place. I had two beers. Remember how we stopped drinking that year?’’ - the ’86 Celtics swore off alcohol for their playoff run - “Well, I had two beers and they didn’t even taste good. I was tired, anyway, so I went home an hour later.”

“Bill [Walton] came over. It was late. Doorbell rang and Dinah answered and she was like, ‘Hey, Bill. Larry’s in bed.’ I heard him, so I go out and I said, ‘Hey, man I ain’t doing this tonight. I can’t.’ He goes, ‘Don’t worry about it. I don’t even need you. I’m just going to sit down here at the table.’ He had a bottle of Wild Turkey. And he said, ‘I’ll be here when you wake up.’ And he was.”

Wanting to get to know him better, and upset by his dismissive attitude, she orchestrated a dinner with him and the film’s director. After dinner, she and Serge danced, and when he stepped on her toes, she realized that this man she thought arrogant was really very shy. That first night, he took her to a transvestite bar, then a club where the American blues singer Joe Turner sang, then to a Russian nightclub, and then to the Hilton Hotel, where the desk clerk asked, “Your usual room, Mr. Gainsbourg?” Nothing sexual happened that night, because he fell asleep, but very quickly they became inseparable. They went to Venice, stayed in a corner suite in the Gritti Palace, drank at Harry’s Bar every night, and fell madly in love. When they first returned to Paris they stayed at L’Hôtel, where Oscar Wilde had died. They then moved to Rue de Verneuil, where Serge selected every piece of furniture and designed everything in the house. “Serge had seen Dalí’s house and was very struck by the fact that he had black astrakhan on the walls,” says Jane. “So Serge wanted black on his walls, but he wanted it to be felt, the special felt that was used for policemen’s trousers. He could never take any change. After I had Charlotte, when she got so big that her legs came out of the crib I said, ‘I must buy her a bed, Serge, without offending your eye,’ and he said, ‘Put socks on her.’ I never saw him take a bath. He was the cleanest man I ever knew, he knew how to wash all the bits, but in 13 years I never saw him take a bath, I never saw him go to the loo, I never saw him completely naked, the children never saw him naked—and they tried like mad.”

One day i hope to be as cool as Birkin and Gainsbourg. I like to think i’m halfway there at least.

Puts your gripes in perspective

onefootinthegrave:

I’ve been carrying this in my briefcase for a couple of weeks now. I don’t know why I put it in there, but I can’t just stick it in a drawer somewhere. If I’m having a shitty day it reminds me that at least I’m not trapped in a burning Humvee trying not to cry like a bitch and scream for my mommy.

Even though I didn’t get to play it, this is still my greatest Scrabble accomplishment of all time.

WHY DIDNT YOU PLAY IT.

OMG. that’s fucking epic.

I always take childish pleasure in dropping profanities and the like when I play.

Mumbrella have a list of George Patterson’s 20 best ads to celebrate the agency’s 75th anniversary. Despite misspelling Boonie, this VB ad is probably my favourite. Wont make much sense to those from non-cricketing backgrounds but, as always, Google and Wikipedia are your friends. Check the whole list here

Great little piece from HTC. Chipping away at Apple and pushing the Android based handset as a viable lifestyle brand alternative that is a touch more inclusive than the younger focused iPhone. or maybe i’m just reading too much into it.
