No Poetry Today

No Poetry Today, but be sure to check out Poetry Thursday on Hugo's blog tomorrow.

Update: Victor the Rat has unilaterally decided to turn this into Joe Don Baker Haiku Day, which is such an absurd idea that i have to give it my hearty endorsement.

annika isn't celebrating Poetry Day today. In protest, I'm turning her comments into Joe Don Baker Haiku Day. Frequent annika commenter Scof has already submitted an excellent one that offers an insight into JDB that I hadn't realized before. I, of course, have submitted a couple and I'll do a couple more before the day is over.
i will judge all haikus submitted before 7:00 a.m. PDT tomorrow (for the benefit of my overseas visitors - Kevin Kim, that means you) and the winner gets a prize from my stash of highly coveted annika's journal merchandise!

3 Joe Don Baker is The poor man's Fred Thompson, both lawmen; don't take shit.

4 In "Charley Varrick" Joe Don Baker is Molly! What's with the girl's name?

Posted by: Victor at September 22, 2004 10:09 AM (L3qPK)

5 Charley Varrick is one of my all time favorite 70's action flicks. In fact, i'd put it up there with Bullitt, Mr. Majestyk, and The Getaway. And i'm pleased to see i'm not the only one who noticed the resemblance between Joe Don Baker and Fred Thompson. For a long time i thought they were one and the same. My favorite Joe Don Baker line from Charley Varrick: "I didn't come all this way for the amusement of idiots."

10 Distracting Victor From fantasy football league Look! Joe Don Baker!

Posted by: Ted at September 22, 2004 05:12 PM (ZjSa7)

11 Dictionary page Joe Don Baker defined as Genius with a sneer

Posted by: Ted at September 22, 2004 05:17 PM (ZjSa7)

12 Baker, broad-shouldered: late-night tv heroics, stuff of my childhood...

Posted by: Hugo at September 22, 2004 05:33 PM (3Hy+w)

13 Joe Don walked tall When Dwayne Jonhson wore diapers. Johnson is his bitch. Joe Don, sixty-eight, Lion in winter. Still not One to trifle with. Joe Don, hero of MS3K for Mitchell. At his worst, still fun. I can't seem to get away from that "Joe Don" opening!

14 orphaned and feral Joe Don Baker stopped drooling only yesterday but nobody knows: Joe Don made a porno flick it's called "Talking Balls" Annika's secret she's got a Joe Don tattoo on her inner thigh Joe Don Baker's ass known throughout all Hollywood as The Butt Unplugged ask Joe Don nicely give him lots of cash and he'll gladly spoo your tits I once saw Joe Don tear a wolf in two using only his nipples Kevin

15 Joe Don Baker is Gary Cooper in High Noon for the Nascar set. Joe Don Baker ain't no faker like Sly Stallone, who is five eight, maybe. Groesbeck, Texas sits sleepily west of Waco, until the bar fight. Like Joe Don Baker, I'll need Double X Large size from Annika's stash!

16 Kevin/gcotharn, Strong. Fuckin' strong.

Posted by: Matt at September 23, 2004 03:40 AM (eWM9Y)

17 Gary Cooper is Gary Cooper in High Noon For the NASCAR set. Joe Don is the king Of redneck cops and puffy, Drunk anti-heroes. Just a guess: Joe Don Has polished off many a Bottle of Dickel. I really like the Gary Cooper comparison though, gcotharn. I tried to do something similar and failed.

18 Matt, I didn't know you knew about Porkapalooza! Or did you just get lucky on a Google search? You can't talk about Mitchell without mentioning The Blair Mitch Project Mitchell! A cop with A gun, a drink, and no friends. Well, there's that hooker. Appeared in Mitchell: Carole Estes, Vick' Peters. Never worked again. An actor, Rob Narke, worked in other movies but only with Joe Don.

19 Talk about Wacko! Andrew "Dice" Clay's first movie! Another stinker. Wacko shows pics of Joe Don Baker in a dress! Please take me now, Lord.

Posted by: Victor at September 23, 2004 05:15 AM (L3qPK)

20 Victor, You, sir, are a god. And you pull it off without alluding to secretory functions or vaguely autoerotic discussions of Annie's inner thigh. (Not that there's anything wrong, per se, with either of those things.) I tip my hat to you. And I just got lucky on Porkapalooza.

21 Joe Don Baker: the Brian Dennehy of 'necks. First Blood needed him. I am not the first To notice the resemblance. See TV's Hard Stick.

Posted by: Matt at September 23, 2004 07:54 AM (SIlfx)

22 Now Matt, you open up a whole new can of worms about the resemblance between Brian Dennehy and the late Brian Keith

Posted by: annika at September 23, 2004 09:08 AM (zAOEU)

23 Ring of Steel! Joe Don wants you to face your dest'ny! At least it has boobs.

Posted by: Victor at September 23, 2004 09:34 AM (L3qPK)

24 Matt, thank you for the comments. In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a huuuge JDB fan. I'm actually holding back a bit, if only because I'm at work.

Posted by: Victor at September 23, 2004 09:47 AM (L3qPK)

25 The haiku is done Where is Annika now that We need her wit now?

Posted by: shelly s. at September 23, 2004 11:03 AM (s6c4t)

26 Shelly? Is that you? Is that the same long-lost little lamb from the JDB Discussion list?

Posted by: Victor at September 23, 2004 11:07 AM (L3qPK)

27 I don't know what's more disturbing; the fact that someone from the JDB discussion list found their way here just because of the JDB haiku, or the fact that a JDB discussion list even exists.

28 Instead of working, I'm checking to see if I scored Annika graft! Sadly, XXL costs too much to be conferred by a law student! Matt- Thanks for the compliment! You have a point: Gary Cooper is Gary Cooper for people like me: gcotharn: Bubba watching High Noon late at night and tapping keyboard. But sometimes Gary Cooper is only a rumor: Some Bubbas are not awake to watch High Noon on TCM Late Night. Some Bubbas do not visit Black and White Classics at the Blockbuster. To the contest! Isn't it sad when Joe Don and Fred Thom are more real than: Kerry, John? I can pay bills if I go back to work now. Its what Joe Don would do.

29 It's been asked before: W.W.J. D.B.D., really?

30 Great shades of Elvis, Rocking the gates of Graceland. Who is this Joe Don Baker?

Posted by: GEBIV at September 23, 2004 03:26 PM (BQDCT)

31 I don't know Joe Don. Don't really give a rat's ass. Wrote a haiku, though!

Posted by: Tuning Spork at September 23, 2004 07:53 PM (APIH8)

32 Time's up.
