Arlington

On a closed Facebook group someone recently posed the question about the worst movie they showed while underway at sea.

This is one now I remember, the only time I would watch it is because I don't feel like loading another "Stargate SG-1" DVD into my cranky DVD player.

How I hated this movie.

Watching it now again, already in progress, for the first time in probably almost 30 years I am thinking again there is an Australian angle that has something to do with Joseph Wayne Burgess.

It's simple. You go
directly to the newspapers.
- Come on.

Do a Woodward and Bernstein.
Blow the whistle on these bastards.
What makes you think they'd believe me?
I believe you.
Stop being so paranoid.
It's such a gorgeous day.
You're such a gorgeous girl.
The sun is shining, the birds

Come on. Get dressed and let's go do it.
Get up.
Someone will believe us.
Yeah, I guess they will.

In Great Lakes, I used to cross in to Wisconsin a lot to go to a night club. I got two speeding tickets two different times making that trip. I met Diane Broch at that night club in Wisconsin.

It hit me like a weight a few hours ago: Arlington Heights. That was the suburb Diane lived in.

I just caught the association. Her birthday was 2 September 1965. I always remember that because it was exactly two months before my birthdate.

I don't recall the name of the bar but I remember it was a popular place and it was a fairly long drive from the US Navy base in North Chicago to that dance club in Wisconsin. There were a lot of women in that bar that night. I walked up and asked her to dance and we dated for a long time after that. I was thinking of a her again recently when I watched the 1986 film "Short Circuit" on television.

She was from Arlington Heights. I stayed there several times in that condo in Arlington Heights.

She definitely lived in Arlington Heights and I know that because after we started dating I traveled to their condo several times while I was attending the United States Navy Fire Controlman "A" school near North Chicago in Great Lakes Illinois.

I "remember" one time, and that much have been my 2 November 1986 birthday because I never went back there after I left soon after in November 1986 for thirty days leave in Arkansas, she and her mother presented a birthday cake to me at their condo in Arlington Heights.

I don't recall if I told them what my favorite brand of cake was although I did like strawberry cake but I am not certain if I told her that was my favorite. Maybe I did. I can't recall. I'm not certain if I ever would have said that strawberry cake was my favorite type of birthday cake or any type of cake and I cannot recall if she even asked me about that. If I did tell her that then I was not expecting the cake they had for me. The cake, which might have been white cake, contained full strawberries within the cake. I liked it but the full strawberries was unusual and I don't think I had ever seen that before so I "remember" it now.

Memorable quotes for

The Caine Mutiny (1954)


Captain Queeg: Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...
