A blast from the past

Because I'm the go-to guy in the family for cultural detritus, my sister e-mailed me today:

Do you remember the movie when we were kids with Richard Pryor as a baseball player and someone cut him up with a straight razor?

Um, yes. Yes I do. That would be The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings. I had to google the title because I couldn't remember that. But I do vividly remember sitting in a dark Paducah theater watching what seemed to be a comedy about black baseball players and suddenly there being a straight razor and a bloody outfielder stumbling onto a baseball diamond and me sitting there on a sticky fabric seat with my eyes bugging and my heart pounding and a lifelong phobia about razors taking root in my heart.

Thanks for taking me to the slashing razor baseball film Mom and Dad.

PG my fucking ass.

Know of the film. Never seen it. Now I'll have to rent it, damn you!

I sense I don't need to rent this.
