Larry Bird Enjoys Eminem

by Tom Lewis on Jan 6, 2009 8:15 AM EST in News Comment 3 comments

I just ran across this strange little piece in Esquire with Larry Bird making general comments about life as he's sees it from his experiences as a kid in French Lick through today. Two of my favorite observations are on Eminem and dogs.

Eminem. My son was listening to that and I was like, "What is that junk?" Then I started listening and I thought, You know, that kid is pretty good. It's the storytelling.

I always know what a dog is thinking. I just look at a dog and I know. It's: I'm hungry.

Brief Pearls of Wisdom with Larry Bird

“Penguins don’t fly. It’s not cause they don’t want to. It’s cause they can’t. That’s what they tell me, anyway.”

(interstitial shot of Larry sinking a jumper, then picking up a dictionary and gasping at some particularly wonderful new word.)

“The best thing to have on toast is raspberry marmalade. If you disagree, shoot yourself in the face, and then try some toast with raspberry marmalade.”

(Shot of Larry intently examining a globe, then snatching it from it’s stand and dribbling it across the floor.)

“I called the White House and asked to speak with the President, but they wouldn’t let me talk to him. I’ll keep trying, though.”

This has been Brief Pearls of Wisdom with Larry Bird.
