Anyone want to paint my toenails?
It looked sexy as hell in Bull Durham.

2. Well my nails are quite small, so there's not a lot of area to cover but
I do demand strict attention to detail.

4. That will actually take longer
You'll need to spend all that extra time to removing the stuff that went 'outside the lines.'

Oh, and I also prefer my nails to be hued with polish and not paint. I know that I did say paint, but it's one of those driving on parkway things.

16. A bucket of polish then
And it will have the added advantage of putting a hard impermeable coating on your feet when it dries. You could practice firewalking afterwards. You could even walk over broken glass!

I was trying for a psychedelic/pastel effect.

8. It doesn't help decorate my feet
so that they can be suitably displayed in my strappy sandals.

9. did you say Bull Durham...?
Annie & the Church of Baseball
written by Ron Shelton

Annie: I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there's 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there's 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. (she sighs) But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. Y'see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring. (she giggles) Which makes it like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career. Making love is like hitting a baseball. You just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250. Not unless he had a lot of RBIs and was a great glove man up the middle. Y'see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds. Sometimes when I get a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickenson or Walt Whitman to him. And the guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen. Of course, a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay. I make them feel confident, and they make me feel safe -- and pretty. 'Course what I give them lasts a lifetime. What they give me lasts a 142 games. Sometimes it seems like a bad trade. But bad trades are part of baseball. Who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for god's sake! It's a long season, and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have. And, the only church that feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball.

10. Love this movie
Many a fine speach.

CRASH
After 12 years in the minor
leagues, I don't tryout. Besides--
I don't believe in, Quantum Physics
when it comes to matters of the
heart...or loins.

ANNIE
(challenging him)
What do you believe in?

Crash at the door. Annie's question is slightly taunting.
He stops, and speaks with both aloofness and passion:

CRASH
I believe in the soul, the cock,
the pussy, the small of a woman's
back, the hanging curve ball,
high fiber, good scotch, long
foreplay, show tunes, and that
the novels of Thomas Pynchon are
self-indulgent, overrated crap.
(beat)
I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald
acted alone, I believe that there
oughtta be a constitutional
amendment outlawing astro-turf
and the designated hitter, I
believe in the "sweet spot", voting
every election, soft core
pornography, chocolate chip
cookies, opening your presents on
Christmas morning rather than
Christmas eve, and I believe in
long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses
that last for 7 days.

ANNIE
(breathless)
Oh my...
(softly)
Don't leave...

CRASH
G'night.

12. As long as I don't end up like the chick in Goldfinger
After all, paint and polish can be toxic.
