I posted this on my own blog (http://nldoormat.blogspot.com/). Basically, the National Enquirer had an item about Bill Murray looking to come up with the money to buy the Cubs. Unfortunately, there was no link available on their website that I could find, but it is published in the September 4, 2006 issue. At the checkout counter, of course.

He should pitch a reality series or mockumentary wherein he runs the Cubs (one yr as manager, one as GM, maybe he can broadcast if it goes 3 yrs).

 

I'd be more apt to buy tickets. :)

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas."

 

"What’s a looper?"

 

"A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dali Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? "Gunga galunga. Gunga, gunga galunga." So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?" And he says, "Oh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me. Which is nice."

I love KingPin! "Sweetie when you come back can you scrape the perfume before you come back here."
