Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
I<br />
feel like this is a good time to point<br />
out that I picked the Phillies to go to<br />
the World Series back in March and the<br />
Eagles to go to the Super Bowl to anyone<br />
who would listen this summer. Now,<br />
where do I collect my prize?<br />
I spent most of the last week in bed<br />
with a nasty upper-respiratory infection I’ve<br />
been swapping back and forth with Owen<br />
and Henry, my two least-favorite kids at the<br />
moment, so I didn’t have a lot of human interaction<br />
this week (this is a net win for most<br />
humans). I’ve also been making my delivery<br />
run at around 3am these days, so, again, not<br />
a ton of human contact (another net win for<br />
humans because I was sick then, too. Cough<br />
cough). Why the preamble, you may ask? Shut<br />
up and I’ll tell you, I may answer. It’s my way<br />
of letting you know that this week’s column<br />
may be a little light on content involving other<br />
humans. I mean, it’s always light on content,<br />
but I’m at least usually able to make someone<br />
mad most weeks. This week, I’m not so sure.<br />
So, with that said, welcome to 1200 Words of<br />
Movie Reviews, Picking Lint from My Belly<br />
Button and NyQuil Sweats.<br />
I wore an adult-XXL 1990 Lenny Dykstra<br />
jersey on Saturday night which is kind of a<br />
Unicorn because it’s the home white jersey but<br />
has no pinstripes. I’ve never seen another like<br />
it. I got it at the Concord Mall for 50 percent<br />
off because it was a misprint. In the years<br />
since I’ve been offered $100s for it. Scarcity,<br />
people. Makes things more valuable. Just wait<br />
til you see what it does to gasoline in the next<br />
few months.<br />
A gentleman I’d never met before<br />
approached me at EZ to inform me we had<br />
never met before. But, turns out, we have a<br />
mutual friend in photographer/cinematographer<br />
David Swift, with whom I briefly worked<br />
on the film Exit 0 (no relation) a few years ago.<br />
It was Howard Isenberg’s first foray into Cape<br />
May and EZFS so David told him to seek me<br />
out because I was a nice guy. David is a gifted<br />
liar. And Howard, it was nice to meet you.<br />
After the gig, Cath and I popped into 5<br />
West and, for the first time ever, we were not<br />
met with sarcastic jabs from local raconteur<br />
Greg Carpenter. Turns out he was down the<br />
street celebrating the closing of Harpoon’s on<br />
the Bay (for the season, not forever). It was…<br />
fine. The beer was cold, the Tullamore Dew<br />
had zip, and the non-baseball fan sitting next<br />
to me endured all my Philly-splaining. But it’s<br />
just not the same 5 West experience if Greg<br />
isn’t making fun of me for singing too much<br />
James Taylor. Alas…<br />
