On this Valentine’s Day Eve, we’re taking a break from Game Time to help one Saratogian find the one that got away. Do you know the 24-year-old Chowderfest-goer who can’t keep his early 2000s comedies straight? Send us an email at editorial@saratogaliving.com to mend this missed connection:
In the line to get into Saratoga City Tavern this past Saturday afternoon, you tried telling me Cheaper By The Dozen was about two widowed parents, each with a set of several children. I tried telling you that, no, I’ve actually seen Cheaper By The Dozen recently (weird, I know), and it’s all one big happy family (though they do square off against another large family in the Labor Day Cup in the almost-as-good Cheaper By The Dozen 2). We made a bet: Whoever was wrong had to buy the other person a beer.
Inside the bar, unable to let it go and unable to find a satisfactory answer online, I phoned a friend who specializes in movies we watched in elementary school. “He’s thinking of Yours, Mine & Ours,” she replied instantly. I pulled up the Dennis Quaid movie poster and marched over to you. “You’re so right,” you said. “That’s what I was thinking of. I can admit when I’m wrong."
You proceeded to offer to buy me a beer, but I already had a full one in my hand. “Find me when you need one,” you said. “Or we can get one some other time.” I said I’d find you when I needed one, but when that time came, you were gone. Clearly, I messed up. Let’s get one some other time.
Think you know this confused Steve Martin fan? Play Cupid today to give him time to ask out his missed Chowderfest fest connection in time for Valentine’s Day. editorial@saratogaliving.com
