Gloating
Ahhhhh… Money won is always sweeter than money earned, and this $20 bill I have in my pocket that used to be in El Steve‘s pocket is giving me diabetes.
God, I love diabetes.
Steve came over today to test the durability of a new lens by shooting some portraits of me, Beth and Zoe. (The lens held up fine with no obvious defects or breakage, so I think he’s going to keep it.) While he was here we enjoyed our usual far-ranging conversations, and one of the important topics we discussed was that old 80’s TV show That’s Incredible. And that’s where the controversy flared.
As everyone knows (everyone but Steve, that is), the three stellar hosts of That’s Incredible were smokin’ 80’s hottie Cathy Lee Crosby, football great Fran Tarkenton, and legendary crooner John Davidson.
Let’s look at that list one more time, shall we? Hosting That’s Incredible were:
- Cathy Lee Crosby
- Fran Tarkenton
- John Davidson
Skip Stephenson does not appear in that list, does he? No, Steve, he does not. And now $20 does not appear in your wallet because you foolishly bet me that he did. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: “Never get involved in a land war in Asia.” But, only slightly less well known is this: “Never go in against Chuck when 80’s TV trivia is on the line!”
Thanks, buddy!
