The Best of Friends

Some friendships have the most unusual dynamics and they work so well.

Yes, I really do love the show Boston Legal. In it, there are two characters: Denny Crane, an older, very experienced nutter who must always be in the limelight, has an ego the size of Texas, is so conservative it is painful and falls back on Mad Cow disease (instead of Alzheimers) to explain hideous lapses in judgment. He is well-played by William Shatner.

And then there is Alan Shore: a younger, cocky, very liberal, fight-for-the-underdog kind of guy who has the sexual morals of an alley cat but very strong morals for right and wrong: he will happily torpedo his own case if he cannot get on board with what it fights. He cannot commit to a single relationship but will do anything for Denny Crane.

These two men have the most unique and unusual friendship. Denny is a total homophobe but there is a dance scene in the second season episode Helping Hands. Denny has on a fast-paced salsa song and Alan stops in to talk to him. While talking, they are dancing beautifully to this song. The dynamics are amazing. The whole friendship is. If you have an opportunity, watch the show, if only for that.

It's worth it.

Never saw that show... sounds interesting. We're too into LOST lately. They are definitely not all friendly on that show. LOL
How are you feeling today??
Better I hope! :)
Stop by my blog when you get a chance, I posted a pic of a red bracelet. It was going to be mine after V Day, but decided not to keep it. Is this too fancy or the wrong color for Ren jewelry? I have a few pieces that I'm trying to decide what category they fit into.
Chat soon, M
