But you wanted to own it. You're walking around with this chip on your shoulder, like it's the size of the goddamn world and I rolled it up there. Nobody asked you to be Atlas, Ray. Now you want to shirk your duty to me? I don't do returns on account of buyer's remorse. Can I just give you money? I feel like I owe you something for how hard I laughed. Ever hear of the kid who cried wolf, Ray?
I'm the wolf, but nobody's crying for me. I'm the one who's howling, and I'm howling at the moon. But Apollo 11 hasn't even taken off yet. Sometimes you're the one swinging the bat, and sometimes you're the one left scrambling for the last pieces of candy. Think I ever had a cavity? No - I was never scrambling for the candy.
I was always swinging the bat. You ever wonder why boiling water softens potatoes, but hardens eggs? All these fuckarounds get put in the water and go soft. I've been boiled so many times, I'm ready for my Easter painting. I think the big boys wanna get rid of me. It's adult swim, everybody outta the pool type deal. Well, guess what babe?
The management already kicked me out for running a long time ago. I didn't slow down then, and I sure as hell won't slow down now. I hate being back here. Look, you're in for 3 on top of the deuce plus another 5 every other week. You think he's twisted?
I'm a goddamn Gordian Knot over here. Everywhere I turn, I see demons turning cranks. My mortal coil is wound so tight it's nearly welded shut from the thermodynamic friction. But I'm not planning to reach liquidis yet. No, you see, I'm ductile, and my ductility might be a character flaw, but I earned it fair and square.
It'll take more than the ragtime tunes you're singing to get me to shuffle off. Life's like a box of chocolate? Well guess what Ray, I'm a dog. I'll die if I eat chocolate. I used to wait for the music. I'm nine years old, waiting for the ice cream man on the third Wednesday of every month. I hear that jingle and run out A handful of change that I'd spent weeks scraping together It was the only meaningful thing in the miserable quagmire of my life. When I got old I realized that You know, Ray, there is this expression. Curiosity killed the cat.
Today's society goes and blames the cat for putting itself in a situation. But you know what, that cat was fucked from the beginning. Curiosity didn't kill the cat, reality did. It should have known that it was dead from the fucking moment it crawled out of the pussy's pussy. Now, we just have to sit and wait as the people around us realize that they too are that helpless cat. But I'm like the cat in Schroedinger's box.
Dead and alive at the same time. I was curious, Ray. Curious about what was in the box. But society forced me into that box, Ray. I've got a big bang theory, Ray. My box is going to keep expanding. So Ray, that's why you have to keep knocking on the door and saying "Penny". This line falls apart the more you think about it. Do bigger cities have bigger tampons? Also, couldn't an extra large tampon be insufficient to stop the blood from even a minor kitchen accident?
I'm not sure how to improve this line. There's not a tampon factory in Los Angeles big enough? If Los Angles were a giant tampon, it would need to be changed out soon.
Miniature golf, batting cages, arcade games & parties in Newark, Delaware. Par 3 golf course, play park & birthday fun for kids. Family entertainment center. Vince's Sport Center - 14 gender road, Newark, Delaware - Rated based Batting Cage in Newark, Delaware . New game at Vince's Sports Center!.
We're going where tampons fear to tread? I'm as far from muculent as can be, baby, and live my life on the edge of a margarita glass filled with dreams of your mother's lamentation I never learned how to swim. See sometimes you need to swim, and sometimes you need to sink. Exerting oneself to stay afloat, I call that being antipathetic to the occasion that has occurred. I'm just the guy with the best life jacket. I used to think they just gave travel advice. But I'm starting to think that it's all actually been tips about the Deep Trip, the Undiscovered Country, ya know?
To be, not to be--fuck that. That's my answer to the fucking question. And you know what, Ray? Sometimes that grenade blows up. Next thing you know you're covered in shit for ten years trying to find a way to get clean. Then when you're almost there, you realize the grenade never blew up in the first place and the baby it was attached to takes a piss on you to remind you it's pointless to change that diaper.
Life is the poop that never cleans itself off of you. And the grenade was us all along. Caspere knew that and look where it got him. To get ahead in this world you have to bite off more than you can chew, and guess what? I'm not looking at the dollar menu anymore. I find it very funny that all of these hypothetical and stereotypical quotes from Frank include some sort of address to Ray.
Like, "Well from where I'm standing, Ray You ever think about water's duality, Ray? It can drown you dead, or it can save your life. I guess the question is, are you drinking or drowning? We can't all be prom queens can we, Ray? Sometimes we gotta give a tugger to the second chair trombonist under the bleachers and we gotta tell ourselves we're better for it.
Sometimes the only thing you need is the one thing that slips your grasp. Don't expect violins to play. My fucking violins don't even have strings. I gutted all my cats years ago. You, me, him, her, all of us. We're all just trying to pretend like we didn't just see the abyss wink. Because you don't want to know what amuses the abyss. When you came to me, Ray, you were a beaten down cowboy with a broken horse, wandering through this wasteland.
You were all hat and no horse my friend. I gave you your fucking horse back and you ride it to my front door with your pistols drawn like I'm some fuckin' Indian? Well I don't do pow wow's, Ray. I shoot first and then decide whether or not we had something to talk about. But this play is in 3D, and I forgot the glasses. Well, let me tell you, Ray, it's the middle of fucking December and the winter solstice is upon us. But I don't need a shadow to keep me company.
Casper thought the dark was his ally. He merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. But you know how I always knew Santa's not real? The world's drowning in shit and not a single reindeer turd.
See sometimes you need to swim, and sometimes you need to sink. My fucking violins don't even have strings. Life is but a nightmare, and ain't nobody going gently down that stream. The world's drowning in shit and not a single reindeer turd. The astronauts, and the guys who sew the astronaut's panties.
I feel this boulder, this Sisyphusean burden at the bottom of a mountain. Comes down to it, I gotta be the one rolling shit uphill? I ain't dressed for it. He walks around here like his eminence is imminent. But that little shit can't even see the precipice of the penumbra, he's living so deep inside my shadow.
When I was a kid my teachers told me to "shoot for the stars", Ray. I shot for Orion, but that Greek prick shot right back. Sometimes, to get to the top, you gotta start at the bottom. And I can't help it if I'm back at the bottom, but I'm not bringing a kid into this world until I'm at the top. Ray, I seem to always be that guy who fucks the pound gorilla in the room with his own bananas You just have to look in the right place. My pops always told me, "practice what you preach. I'm not a pastor.
Never even given a fucking sermon. I feel like I'm playing rock, paper, scissors with life, and all I've got is a pair of knitting needles. Well life isn't giving me any lemons right now, and every ones asking me for fuckin lemonade! Minerals, Ray, Vitamins, Ray! There ain't none of that shit in this "bottled at the source" water. Now let me ask you this, Ray, when push comes to punch, are you gonna be the one who misses out on the vitamin and mineral wholesale? Or the one who cashes in? Either way, you're just sipping on the kool-aid.
God, I know I was. Well, come on down. You're the next contestant on the price is right.
The bullies come back to the playground, but guess what? They say "don't swim with sharks or you'll get bit. What I mean is, Ray, I'm a fucking shark, so watch yourself lest I bite you. Sometimes you have to get a coffee enema before coming to the conclusion that the espresso ain't half bad. Life is but a nightmare, and ain't nobody going gently down that stream.
Now the only thing left to do is to run but I've got nothing to run to. So you know what Ray? I'm just going to have to learn to fly Everybody makes fun of his lines but years down the read, when this show has reached cult status and people are rewatching it, everyone is going to be quoting Frank's lines. I think it's in good fun. We did some of the same stuff with Rust quotes back in the day. But those are the type of people who always quote the head-crushing stupidest lines, like "blue balls in your heart". I tell ya, they won't understand the American dream even if they turn the whole month of July into a siesta on a bed of apple pie Oh money doesn't grow on trees?
The fuck it doesn't, Ray. Because I'm looking outside and it's fucking looking to me like it's hurricane season. So you put on your canvas gloves and you take your goddamn garbage duty. I think you're fucking me Ray. I think your lips are looser than a quadruple amputee in a sun dress on fleet week, and I'm through with it, Ray.
I'm standing on the dock waving a handkerchief and I'm saying fucking bon voyage, Ray. I was like a kid in a candy store, Ray, but now instead of lollipops all I got are fuckin' cavities. Emerson said life's a journey not a destination. Well in my journey, Steve Perry has long since hit the bricks and no Filipino is coming to sing for me.
My midnight train ain't going anywhere when the lights go down in the city. I'll have you know that I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus, in conics I can floor peculiarities parabalous. I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform and tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform.
I am more than the model of a major-general, I am fucking Frank Semyon, and I eat gold teeth for breakfast! Show you who's not smart. We will definitely be taking the half hour drive again. The arcade is slightly out of date and smallish. The snack bar is basic. The Mini golf is inexpensive and fun.
It could use a little refurbishment but it is not too shabby and for the prices, not bad at all. This is an affordable place to take the family for an afternoon of fun. Really miserable excuse for a "fun" center. Junky little mini golf that has horrible lighting and more bugs than a swamp, run down old arcade with a LOT of broken games can't they move them to storage if they are too cheap to fix or replace them?
This place needs owners that actually take some pride in their business and aren't just on cruise control since ! Only amusement center EVER that my kids didn't like. Our 6 year old had a high score on skeeball and the stupid thing stopped spitting out tickets- huge letdown! Flights Vacation Rentals Restaurants Things to do.
