: ---this morning, Vinnie, me and Kevin were playing raquetball, talking about sports and sporting goods and sport drinks and whatnot, when for some odd reason, out of the blue and for the first time, Vinnie brought up the subject of movies.
: So Vinnie said, "Did you see that SNOW DAY yet?" I of course had and LOVED IT. As did Vin, and we both agreed that if Stanley Kubrick weren't dead he would have shot himself after seeing this fine peice of genius because he knew he just couldn't measure up. So we ask Kevin what he thought about it, and---
: ---the dude froze up. Completely and utterly didn't know what to say. He wiped sweat from his brow, tried to hide his trembling hands and blamed his newly reddened cheeks on the intense game of r-ball.
: After a long silence Kevin mumured "I wonder what thought Smalls thought about it..."
: Vinnie said "What did you say?"
: And Kevin said "Nothing, nothing, I'm thinking of what Smalls, I mean I thought about it...does anyone have any internet access on you so I can maybe check the board and see if Smalls, I mean I posted my opinions on the---the---"
: "Movie?" I asked.
: "No, I don't think Smalls calls them movies. I think he calls them flicks, FLICKS I MEAN FLICKS. I want to see if I said what MY opinion on the FLICK is". And then he winked at us and smiled.
: So Kevin ran out and was gone for a good half hour. We could have sworn that we saw Kevin's car zoom out of the parking lot, but I'm sure there's alot of Ford Explorers with the license plate SMALLSCAR2. When he came back, he said "I was in the bathroom that whole time and Smalls I mean I haven't seen it yet".
: We resumed the game and Kevin won, yelling "Well now, that was no SMALLS victory, eh?" With some kinda irony in his voice as if he was saying some kinda joke that Vinnie and I were stupid for not understanding. We were leaving the court and Kevin, who was walking ahead of us, bumped into the door.
: "Kevbo", I said, "You're supposed to open the door before you try to go through it".
: "Right", he said, turning to me, wide-eyed, "Right".
