DODGERS The PHOTO CAPTION Thread

fuck, I figured art garfunkel would negate it

 

no fucken way
probably about the time I met adam west at (gulp) Fox

 

Sixties Batman.

 

that's fucken great

my dad's boss had some connection to 20th century fox
so one evening I'm in the car with them and the bosses' son
we get to some warehouse/studio
and there's all the batman tv show stars -- batman, robin, alfred, catwoman, the joker, the penguin, the riddler,
you name 'em
turns out they were filming the first batman movie


I liked batman, but robin was my favorite -- I had even dressed up as him for halloween
so I walk over to get his autograph
when I get to him he's sitting in a director's chair, in full costume, surrounded by a horde of harlot groupies
cool, right? yeah, not so much
when I ask for his autograph he tells me, literally… get lost kid, I'm busy
his gaggle of strumpets laugh at me
amazing, 47 years ago and I can still remember it vividly, like it was yesterday
I go back to my dad, crying, and then some sort of commotion* breaks out
a couple of minutes later batman (adam west) come over and asks if I want to see the batmobile (no pedo)
dude not only shows me that, he introduces me to every other star on the set and gets me their autographs
he even poses with me and the other kid for a photo and autographs it "to my pal craig, best wishes, adam west 'batman'."
what started out on a bad note, ended up being one of the coolest moments of my childhood
years later, I would learn that the commotion that had broken out was my dad going after robin/burt ward
adam west (batman) helped pull my dad off him and said "don't worry, I'll take care of this" -- and that's when he came over to me

trivia/trivial notes:
that was 1965, the year the dodgers beat the twins in the ws :woot:
the movie actually came out in 1966, the year the dodgers lost to the orioles in the ws

paraphrasing the movie Dumb and Dumber...

KEMP: "Wow, nice ass!"​

CAPUANO: "Yeah, he must work out."​

​

​

 

URIBE: "Keep looking, Ruven has to be here somewhere."

 

flash back a couple months...

LONEY: "Hey guys, why are you so giddy?"​

KEMP: "You tell him Mark."​

ELLIS: "Nah, you tell him."​

LONEY: "Come on guys, what is it?"​

KEMP: "We just shipped your ass to Boston for AGone, Beckett, Crawford and a Pinto."​

LONEY: "Quit fucking with me, what is it really?"​

ELLIS: "Um, that's it really. Except it's a guy named Punto not a Pinto."​

LONEY: "Fuck man, for real?"​

KEMP: "Now you know why we can't stop smiling."​

ELLIS: "Now THAT's for real!"​

LONEY: "Fuck you guys, I thought we were tight!"​

KEMP: "We were. But now if you'll excuse us, we're gonna go celebrate!"​

LONEY: "That's it! You haven't heard the last from James Loney!..."​

ELLIS: "Whatever dude, don't let the door hit your ass..."​

LONEY: "I hereby place a curse on this team! And all the new players you acquire will suddenly forget how to hit. As will the two of you, as well. The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers!!!"​

Flash to the present...

ADRIAN: "Huh?"​

KEMP: "Oh, nothing."​
