do you have a reservation, part three

Thorpe: We need rooms tonight.

Resort clerk: I'm sorry, you need a reservation.

Thorpe: Excuse me?

Resort clerk: A reservation?

Thorpe: Really.

Resort clerk: A reser... oh, I didn't mean it like that. I mean you need to reser- book before you get here because we're all full. That's what I meant.

Thorpe: You know what I heard? You told me and my friends that we need to go back to the reservation.

Resort clerk: Oh, no...

Thorpe: Do you have any idea what I can do to you on Yelp? You might want to get your boss out here. Or, you could take another look.

Resort clerk: I will take another look!

Hahahaha!!!

That scene is one of the reasons I so love "Cold Pursuit"!

The entire exchange between 'Thorpe' (Raoul Trujillo) and the 'Resort clerk' (Loretta Walsh) lasts less than sixty seconds, but it cracks me us every time!

I do so love a good pun, and that one really works!

I'm so glad I used my Comcast $1 Movie Night Reward to see this movie again today - and it must be a premium for Lionsgate, as they only allow a 24-hour rental of it.

Most sites allow at least 48 hours, with Disney giving 72 hours per rental.

That's all right, though - I watched "Cold Pursuit" twice today!

I love the music in it - I love the way they count up the dead for you - I love the placid worker Liam Neeson plays - and I even love that all those snow scenes have a cool and refreshing effect on me!

Aaaahhhh... just what I needed after an hour of mowing the back yard and bagging all the cuttings so they don't mulch the Digitaria sanguinalis.

That's the worldwide weed better known as crabgrass around here, though it's called Polish millet over in Europe.

Those Y-shaped shoots waving in the air are called inflorescences and they are edible, black seeds and all, and are a source of protein. 

So, there's a little science about that hardy source of aggravation. 

Maybe I'll try harvesting them sometime.

The ones I cut today are almost waist-high on me. 

I'm so glad to have a battery-operated lawn mower.

By the time the Ryobi conks out, I'm more than ready to stop.
