It was Tuesday, the one day every week when Grandpa could share memories with his grandson, Luke. Grandpa settled into the lounger while the boy gazed attentively at his dentures, captivated by the sparkle. Grandpa took a noisy swig of his coffee, sucked in a sighing breath, and began his story.

"Cassidy was nobody's fool, my boy. Or so he liked to think.

"He knew, though, that there were some things he'd never be able to control. The effect of gamma rays on man-in-the-moon marigolds, for instance. "Ahhh," Grandpa sighed wistfully. "He was so butch, Cassidy. And the sun dance.... Kid, that was something you had to see. It was a real beaut when it worked.

"Cassidy busting his chops dancing in a field of marigolds was sometimes a great notion. More often, though, he'd collapse and lose consciousness because of the gamma rays. What he needed then was a cool hand, Luke. A cool hand on his brow.

"And a little hustle, the hustler the better."

Grandpa sighed, closed his eyes, and smiled, dentures and eyes glistening moistly with the recollection of a field of marigolds and a guy in motorcycle leather passed out among them.

2. The Hustler

3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

4. The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

5. Sometimes A Great Notion

6. Nobody's Fool

They are all movies.

Man I wish I was Cool Hand Luke, maybe, like him I could be The Hustler. Sometimes A Great Notion crosses my mind when I look at my wife, but she's Nobodys Fool. My kids seem to favor Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid so I began to suspect an illicit affair between my wife and Newman and Redford but she reassured me that my kids looks are attributed to The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-on-the-Moon Marigolds.

Nobody's fool, Cool hand luke went to see the hustler, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid after he heard they were suffering from the effects of gamma rays on man-in-the-moon marigolds syndrome. They thought they could make some quick money being guinea pigs for a new test the government was conducting to help many men with this illness. Sometimes a great notion isn't always great. They now suffer from PMS.

The Hustler & Cool Hand Luke Too Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid On a Double Date To See The Effect of Gamma Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds. Later After the Movie, The Gays, Asked The Other Gays About Their Opinion On what They Just Saw. Cool Hand Luke Ignored His Question, Turned On His iPod & Started Listening To 'Nobody's Fool' By Evanescence. [Remember, They're All Gay.] As The Three Were Pissed Off @ Cool Hand Luke, They All Hopped In The Hustler's Iced-Out Blazer With a Portable DVD Player in the Celing and Watched 'Sometimes a Great Notion'. Then They All Went Home and *** Raped Each Other. =]

I met a man they call THE HUSTLER. He told me his real handle was COOL HAND LUKE. I didn't care for his friends BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. All they talked about the whole night was THE EFFECTS OF GAMMA RAYS ON THE MAN IN THE MOON MARIGOLDS! Boring! SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION but not on a first date. Then again, I reminded them I am NOBODY'S FOOL!

Ellie Mae Watkins had noticed lately that other folks were just SO much smarter than she was. "Heck" she said, "I'm nobody's fool, I'm jest as smart as any of em!" She decided what she needed was some "book learnin" and figured the best place for that would be a public library . She arrived early morning at the Pleasant Valley Library ready to see what they had to offer.

Luke Spencer was manning the front desk when she came in and although he was usually quite cool (his friends had nick-named him Cool Hand Luke), Ellie Mae had him flustered at hello!!

He was instantly mesmerized by her natural glowing beauty! Her silvery blond hair was tied up simply with a ribbon and her blue eyes were amazingly clear and bright.

"I'd like to do some studyin' in history, I'm especially interested in bank robbers in the old west, can you recomend anything?" she asked.

Luke felt as if he were drowning in a sea of blue ! The only bank robbers he could think of at the moment were Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid! He explained breifly and she seemed interested so he showed her where to find the information.

Meantime, Blake Warren, had been busy watching the whole exchange.He was an over educated under achiever who made his money at odd jobs here and there, drifting to the next town when the going got tough. The only skill he really had, not counting his encyclopedic knowledge on almost any subject, was his ability to play pool , which had given him his life long nickname, "The Hustler".

There was nothing he liked better than making money, except for sweet , innnocent, and beautiful young ladies and his eyes had fastened upon the lovely Ellie Mae immediately upon her entering the library. He had instantly sized up the situation....... the country girl seeking knowledge and the besotted desk clerk floundering hopelessly!

He waited for the half witted boy to leave her to her review of the material and made his move.

"Do you know the effect of Gamma Rays on Man -in the-Moon Marigolds, dear lady?" he asked gazing down upon her.

Ellie Mae looked up into the handsome strangers dark eyes.

"GOOD LORD is he GORGEOUS" she thought.

Not knowing what in the Hell he was talking about but not wanting to appear stupid, she said "I know marigolds keep the bugs from eatin' up the tomatoes if planted in between the plants". She was wishing she would have paid more attention when her granny had told her about the Man in the Moon!!

Blake smiled to himself. He saw that she was eager to please and trying to engage him although she had NO IDEA of what he was talking about!!

"AHA, I've got her now" he thought. Sometimes all a man needed was a great notion to get what he wanted!

Closing in for the kill Blake told her he would LOVE to "discuss" the topic over a cool glass of lemonade over at his place.

Ellie Mae took a really long look at him now. Her built in radar seemed to be telling her something wasn't right.

"Sorry stranger" she said. "My granny told me never to mess with men that were too much smarter than me"

She left Blake speechless as she skipped out the door.

As she walked home she was thinking "I'll look up Gamma rays the next time I go in there".

It's Sometimes a Great Notion to date The Hustler cause he is so sexy, but I'm Nobody's fool, he's jsut another playa.
