Borgnine-ty
I read today where Ernest Borg-9 turns 90 on Wednesday. Then I went to IMDb and saw where he was borned in 1915. My math's a little rusty, but wouldn't that make him 92?
Either way, it's totally fucking insane. At 45 he looked like his heart was ready to implode. Borgfarction, we called him. Not really. But we could have.
We should mix up some Chatham Artillery Punch and go party with the old bastard. He's the Man.
I was completely under the impression that he was passed on. What was a I thinking? Legends never die.
You must be a Lee Marvin fan as well.

Posted by: bitterman at January 22, 2007 8:36 PMIndeed, Velocigod, the punch. The PUNCH!
None of us could stand Borgnine's company for more than a few minutes anyway, before it became necessary to toss his ass in the river.

Posted by: McGehee at January 22, 2007 11:27 PMYes, yes, the Chatham Artillery Punch, for sure.
But we'll need some food to soak up all that alcohol. How 'bout a Smorgasborgnine?

Posted by: Jim - PRS at January 23, 2007 9:06 AMGood gawd, if age won't kill him, the punch will for sure!
Posted by: Michele at January 23, 2007 9:34 AMMix up a batch...and mix it often...he'll be too fucked up to die.
