The male ref with slicked down hair that came over to talk to Luka is from Dallas. He was at Mavs games in the 90's always visiting with the refs. The Mavs employees all knew him since he was in high school, and said he wanted to be a ref. He looks the same as he looked back then, except for the hair gel.

Another Sweet Smell of Success thread!
Not being an a-hole, but two posts about a 1957 movie in less then 30 days makes me wonder if TCM is showing the same movies more often than in the past. I think they are. I've been troubled by this trend for the last few months. I guess with all of the different streaming services taking stuff, they don't have as much to show. Their relationship with HBO gave them a boatload of newer movies, but I watch TCM a lot, and it seems like they are showing the same old movies over and over. Maybe it's just me thinking that, but I'm pretty sure it's happening. Has anyone else noticed them showing the same movies more often?
ETA: I've always enjoyed this movie. Playing the daughter's boyfriend is a very serious role for Martin Milner, who I remember for being Pete Malloy on "Adam 12". He was in lots of cop shows, Westerns and War movies before Adam 12, but I don't remember him in too many serious roles. I thought he was really good in it. I saw on his IMDb page, he was in Valley of the Dolls, a movie about hot chicks becoming celebrities and ruining their lives with drugs and surrounding themselves with terrible people. I don't remember him being in it. I want to watch it again, and try to make myself notice someone other than the hot chicks.

My interpretation of the truth is all of the really good teams are all about the same. Most teams can get beat when they play good teams.
I can't really put Miami in there because they don't play good teams to know what they'll do against another really good team.

quote:I was in Presbyterian hospital in Dallas from Oct. 4th, 2010-Jan. 6lh 2011 and remember seeing people dressed up for Halloween when they took me for dialysis. I wasn't very coherent, and at the time didn't know I was going thru the dialysis, but remember guys flirting with nurses who had on sexy costumes. I was lying down in an open room and could see elevator doors open. The same horny guys kept coming off the elevator flirting with the women in costumes.
Imagine waking up in the ER / ICU, delirious, and you see clowns, ghosts, and ghouls all around you.
That's my only Halloween memory from that year. I am jealous of those guys now, but at the time I remember asking the nurse that took me down there if we could go back to my room.. I couldn't feel what was going on but didn't like being there. If not for the costumed people and knowing I didn't like being there, I don't think I have any other memories of the dialysis.
re: Does your work dress up for Halloween? And if so, do you participate?
Posted by chinese58 on 10/31/26 at 12:44 pm to GeauxTigahs92
In the 80's when I got out of college the company I worked for had cash prizes for best costume. All of the sales people dressed up and did skits to win that money. The skit you did was more important than the costume. Sometimes a couple of us would combine our costumes, do a skit together and split the money.
Our office GM was the daughter of the lady that started the company, and was really cool for a boss. Until she left our Dallas office for the corporate office in Houston, we didn't know she was putting up her own money for the Halloween prizes and things like open bars at Christmas parties and yearly gifts. She brought in the managers or even the owners of some of our vendors to be the impartial judges of the contests.
It was a fun place to work and Dallas was a great place to live in the 80's and 90's.

Anybody 50 or older (really 45 or older) who wears a Halloween costume should be jailed.
Nobody cares what a guy is wearing. What happened to the OT threads with young hot chicks in revealing Halloween costumes?
re: Do you respect people who take PTO “because they have it”

Do you respect guys that never work on Friday afternoon?
My old job had deadlines on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Most weeks I worked longer than eight hours on each of those days. Unless I had a meeting or an appointment, I was out of the building by 11:30 am on Friday. I did that for the last 10 years I worked.

quote:Him being QB Johnny Utah is the only reason Bodie let him run with his crew. Him being influenced because he knew Johnny was once great at something is part of what makes Bodie's character likable. He thinks like an athlete or a rock star would think. As really cool guys we can relate to that. It's how we think too.
It was also an important part of the plot. It's the reason the bad guy gets away the first time. Imagine if our hero simply hurt his knee randomly during the foot chase. That would be lame. But he had the back story of the devastating knee injury in football.

Too much yelling in that world.
I traded in a 2012 Camry and a 2013 Highlander in December of 2025. Got a 2025 Rav4. Paid the balance of the car. It was exactly half the listed price with the two trade-ins. Hope I can drive it for 12-13 years.
