Gauntlet thrown.
I would very much enjoy seeing Donald Trump attempt to water-ski over a shark now.
Ball’s in your court Donnie.
You know his feelings about ramps.
With a frayed rope.
I met Henry Winkler when I was a kid at the SAC Museum in Omaha. All I really remember is him being kind and sweet. Thankfully, I didn’t mess it up by telling him I actually thought he was John Ritter (I was little).
Damn i miss John Ritter. Recently rewatched Stay Tuned and still love it, and rewatching Scrubs and thoroughly enjoyed his cameos.
When it said:
Henry Winkler, age 75...
My synapses immediately assumed it was an obituary… No, God, not Gene Cousineau! Take me. Take me!
If he doesn’t want a ramp, he can just go straight in for all I care. It’s a spectacle either way.
And the ratings! The BEST ratings ever!
I was worrying what came after the comma. So relieved.
Unlike Trump, Henry Winkler can handle ramps
What’s with this finger under the glass thing? Trump drinks that way too.
Is it an old person / glass stability tactic, or do you just get taught to drink from a glass differently in the US?
Hey, Biff…
Same experience for me and everyone else I know who’s met him. His reputation as one of Hollywood’s genuine good guys is well earned.
He’s been married to the same woman since 1978, at the height of his fame. Very rare for Hollywood. I take it as a sign of character.
Honestly it was probably a blessing in disguise that Monty was cancelled after six episodes. If it had endured then we might remember him best for his role as a Rush Limbaugh-esque asshole instead of fun characters like The Fonz or Barry Zuckerkorn.
It isn’t standard practice in the US. I just looked up a bunch of pictures of people drinking and it looks like some small share do that, so it might be a stability thing or just a quirk.
I do that too, but it’s nothing I learned consciously, and I’m pretty sure it’s not standard practice anywhere.
The bar is so low now for qualifications for president.
I was hoping to see a thumbs up in the video
