It’s still Kate’s birthmonth… October 20, 2007

… so it’s also still open season on embarrassing her.
I found this while I was looking for something else. Here she is in 1986, with none other than King Kong Bundy, just weeks before his steel cage match with Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania.

the crisper (via Bill Arrowwood) October 19, 2007
Posted by lessthanminimum in special.add a comment
Following is a story imparted by my friend Billy Arrowwood.
I believe this kind of story deserves to be mentioned among the Specialists.
in lieu of a friend who recently had an embarrassing run in with the long arm of the law and a failed sobriety test, i felt prompted to tell the most humiliating drunken story I know… and no it does not involve your truly passing out at a wrap party and almost throwing up on M Night Shymalan…this comes from the hallowed halls of Dirty Franks and a man who is known by lore as Mr. Shitty Pants..
A few years back, a middle aged guy, well, probably late 30′s comes into Franks and begins to chat up a couple of girls, he is amusing and not unattractive and comes up with the conversation starter about what their most embarrassing drunken moment was….after the girls told their tales of hooking up accidentally and picking fights, our hero demurs and isn’t sure if he wants to tell his sordid own tale…after some prompting and a shot of courage he begins….
It seems that our hero was married in the past and on one drunken night came home from the bar alone and amazingly pickled….Apparently, having to use the bathroom and vomit at the same time he managed to use the toilet…some…but because of the bi-lateral movement he missed more than he hit…urine and vomit everywhere, he figured he had better tidy up before the wife came downstairs….so he proceeds to get buckets, (note the plural) of water and dump them into the bathroom…standing in a few inches of water and realizing he is quite soaked he strips naked….
the cool evening air on his now naked body and the bathroom “cleaned” what better way to celebrate than with a smoke…but sans pants he cannot find a lighter…so necessity being the mother of invention, he decides to use the stove to light his cigarette..unfortunately our hero is quite hirsute and catches his chest hair on fire…staggering back on the floor he pats out the flames and enjoys his smoke..
if the story only ended there it would be both one of the funniest and embarrassing stories on record, but you don’t get the granddaddy of drunkiness or the moniker Mr. Shitty-pants for just taking off your clothes and setting yourself on fire…no, you need something with a little pizzazz…to wit…
after his cigarette our hero gets hungry and decides to go the fridge for a snack…while searching for just the right late night munchy, the cool breeze from the frigidare causes our boy’s mind to wander and suddenly he is overcome with the need to., how do i put this delicately….well…poop…. so perhaps remembering the drama the last time his went to the bathroom makes the brilliant and legendary decision to back himself up to the fridge and poop in the crisper…
six hours later his soon to be ex wife found him sprawled on the kitchen floor, smelling like burned hair, naked, refrigerator open with a dookie where the lettuce should be…
so remember, no matter what your indiscretion, no matter what kind of fool you might have made of yourself at karaoke, even if you failed a sobriety test and had to spend a night in the hooskow (and who hasn’t)…..at least…at least… you never took a shit in the crisper….
did you?
el dia de manuel October 16, 2007
Posted by lessthanminimum in header, photos.1 comment so far
Two days ago a very special little man came into our lives. He slept in that basement for decades patiently awaiting the day to come. His day. Manuel’s Day…
EL DIA DE MANUEL!!!
The imprisoned puppies at the top of this post came from earlier in the day, before Manuel smiled at us with his big wooden grin (and gastly paint-chipped breath.) If we had not discovered Manuel (or he hadn’t discovered us) I might very well be writing about
EL DIA DE PERROS DOS ROJAS CON CONFINIEMENTE!!!
which, as you can imagine, is not quite as festive.
I would take tequila and poorly tuned plastic guitars over imprisoned puppies any day. I think my fellow specialists will agree.
I don’t have my notebook handy, but I’m sure we came up with some traditions to follow up on next year for The Spanish Day of The Rest (as it is called in some countries.) If any of you can remember the details, post ‘em in a comment…
The particular one I can recall is: On this special day you shall never use the last match in a pack of matches… I can’t recall the reason for it though. Hmm.
(Oh, and you can click through any of the pics on the left to get to some more on Flickr.)
No love for Captain? October 15, 2007

Moments earlier, at the Last Drop…
Captain: Nobody loves me.
Sean: We all have love in our hearts for you.
Captain: But not in your pants.
Pantsia Specialeci — Happy Birthday Kate! October 12, 2007
Posted by seanmc76 in movies, special, video.3 comments
Since I’m the only Specialist who knew Kate when her favorite thing was to throw off all her cothes and sit in puddles naked, I figured it’s my job to load a blast from the past, even if nobody else gets it. So on her 30th birthday, here’s an extra special perfect 10.
Ah, the wondrous maudlinitude! Here’s to all Kate’s “Hall of Famers.” They’re the Specialists of the movie world, aging, broken, frantic, flawed and beautiful.
I only wish the clip extended about 30 seconds more to catch, “Only one!”
I’m going to leave a comment with as many flicks from Kate’s HOF that I can think of. She can add the rest. If you stand back and look at the HoF in a dot art way, it can be easier to figure her out.
Theorectically.
I’m still working on it.
Happy Birthday Kate October 12, 2007
Posted by lessthanminimum in header, special, video.2 comments
Today is Kate‘s birthday, which makes her not only a Specialist, but the Specialest Specialist. so I thought I’d take a moment to spill my guts about her.
Kate, Kate, Kate…
What to say about Kate?
Mabe I’ll just transcribe what I wrote in my Moleskine the other night at McGlinchey’s:
My best friends are Special (most of the time). But the thing that makes it truly special is that we have a bond beyond that. We all love words (word!) and we’re all smarter than the average bear. We’re all packed full of the worst curse on earth: Potential. And piss. And vinegar.
Well, maybe that’s not completely eloquent, but it was somewhere in the middle of six pitchers. I was alone at the table while Sean was getting his Ms. Pacman fix.
Anyway, Kate, Happy Birthday!
And thank you for being a good friend (see video below) and an energetic partner in crime.
(I’ll do everything I can to make it special.)
TEN SHOTS UP FOR KATE!!!
(actually, 30, and one to grow on.)
P.S. I would also like to suggest that if anyone posts today that there is a special requirement: Kate has to be a central character in any stories, quotes, references, etc.
