Notebook 16 Pg 125



notes
  • Dipping sauce, he needs instruction
  • Joe Di Magio didn't know wallets existed. Had special pants made with no pockets
  • The reason people were shocked players buying drugs, not the drugs but the thought of players actually paying for something
  • No right fielder in Abbot and Costello's who's on first, no idea what one world of that sentence means.
  • Didn't loose, they didn't finish
commentary


Dipping sauce, he needs instruction
Just a good line for indication a certain cast of mind that displays levels of non-intellectual curiosity

Joe Di Magio didn't know wallets existed. Had special pants made with no pockets
I think there is a common thread in the US that baseball players have a reputation of being somewhat parsimonious 

The reason people were shocked at the revelation of players buying drugs, was not the drugs but the thought of players actually paying for something
As above.


No right fielder in Abbot and Costello's who's on first, no idea what one world of that sentence means.
I think this must alludes to this routine which is a national institution in the US.

 

Guess they knew they were on to a good thing



Yep, sure did.




Oh Boy!



...moving on

Didn't loose they didn't finish
Not sure why I wrote this, guess it is another baseball reference. What makes you think I was living in America when I wrote this page?

  1. Having recently stumbled across your blog, I find myself both fascinated and challenged as I try to keep up with your thought process. It looks great; keep sharing!

    And, yes, the "Who's on first?" routine is part of American folklore, though many people under the age of 40 have never heard it.

  2. Thank you for your kind words Irene. Your encouragement really does mean a lot.

    I did eventually go and see a Yankees game and whilst not a whole lot wiser I do at least now know that a bleacher has nothing to do with lightening upper lip hair
