The Sounds of (Race) Science
ABOVE: Joseph “All-White” Curl
Shorter Joseph Curl, The Moonie Times
Hip-hop legend MCA passes on; Obama says not a word
- The failure of our rap-loving mulatto President to say anything in public about the death of a white rapper is all the proof I need of his undeniable prejudice against all white people.
File the latest bout of logorrhea masquerading as political commentary from Moonie Times columnist Joseph Curl in the “Heads I Win, Tails Obama Loses” folder, which already is chock full of other examples, most of which run along these lines: if Obama eats the fried chicken, he’s lazy and shiftless; if he passes it up, he’s arrogant and uppity.
There is one amusing aspect to wingnuts playing HIW,TOL — namely that it often requires them to tread into cultural territory with which they are manifestly unfamiliar, e.g., to become an instant expert on Negro basketballers in March Madness or a connoisseur of jerk sauces or some such. So here we have the spectacle of a guy who manifestly spends his time watching the Time-Life DVDs of old Lawrence Welk shows professing some enthusiasm for hip-hop. Right. Next you’ll see me writing on some arcane aspects of sexual prestidigitation by geisha girls in Japanes bordellos or the finer literary points of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Okay, so let’s roll the train wreck:
This column is about politics. Today, it’s not. Still, there’s Watergate, Paul Revere, Edward R. Murrow, fighting for your right, so, kinda still.
Huh? Did the editors at the Moonie Times take off for a day of hot tubs, cocaine and hookers in Reno and leave the IT department staff behind to edit the newspaper’s columnists? Oh wait, that would assume that this is worse than usual for the Moonie Times. My bad.
Adam Nathaniel Yauch died Friday. If you’re age 16-66 — maybe 106 — you know him as MCA, one-third of the Beastie Boys. He was 47. Way too young. But gone.
OK, so what was your first clue that everything Curl knows about Yauch came from Wikipedia? Using Yauch’s middle name, maybe? Thinking that 16-year-olds think the Beastie Boys are cool?
Now, half-white Barack Obama (exactly my age) didn’t say a word, even though he was talking to college kids that day, but make no mistake, MCA was no Jay-Z or Kanye West.
Okay, I’m still trying to unpack where half-white came from or why Curl, while putting down his dog-whistle for a moment, didn’t just go all the way and call Obama that “ni**er.” But then he picks the dog whistle right back up and starts blowing it like crazy with the reference to Jay-Z and Kanye: presumably underlining the difference between bling-encrusted, tooth-jeweled, gang-gesturing, white-girl-dissing bad (Negro) rappers and good (White) rappers.
But nothing from the first half-white, half-black president (MSM has made him black — he’s not; he’s half-and-half. No, Trayvon Martin wouldn’t have looked like his son.)
This creepy discourse on racial purity and blood lines is meant, I suppose, to underline that Obama is not just a racist but a race traitor too — at least to his white race — which makes him even worse than normal blacks who are racist against, and oppress horribly, a race to which they do not belong.
The president took time from his busy schedule to comment on the passing of black musicians. When Whitney Houston, a longtime crack addict, died this year, the White House put out a statement.
Oh, the butthurt, the butthurt! Think of all the white, drug-free kids who will hang themselves in despair because the President made them feel worthless when he mentioned a black crack ho and not a white guy!!
And when accused pedophile and drug addict Michael Jackson died in 2009, the White House weighed in with the president’s thoughts.
That’s it. That’s the last straw. I can’t wade in this muck anymore. I’m going to take a shower, chug a bottle of tequila, snort about a pound of crushed Oxycontin, and try to forget I ever read any of this.
Plunging the depths.
Second!
A couple of words about Levon WOULD have been nice.
Seriously though, this is some ugly shit. That dogwhistle’s sounding more like a foghorn.
Even shorter Joseph Curl: “Niggers.”
Curl sounds disappointed that Obama isn’t striped b&w.
The fact is, Curl is correct. At every turn, Obama is pro-black, anti-white. This is rasism of the highest order, in the highest office. Obamas silence on MCA is equivelent to what Hitler did to the Jews.

Could be, but I ‘spect it’s more of the “we spent nearly 400 years labeling anyone with even a single negro great-great-great-grandparent as a ni**er, no matter what they “looked” like, and it really takes the piss out of us to find one who seems proud of their ni**er heritage when they could pretend to be white like a normal person would do” variety.
Beastie Boys are teh Jew of liberal fasism, eh, Gary?
Do you have the Duplo keyboard with the giant keys so’s you don’t pinch your fingers, too?
I’m a 50-year-old white guy and I never “got” the Beastie Boys. I guess their music would sound good at a frat party, but that’s about as far as it goes.
I also noted that the Sexy Corpse, the dreamy Paul Ryan, said nothing about MCA, and he’s between 16 and 106, and, you know not living, as such, but still.
The dashing Yertle McConnell, 16106, and even having an M and both a capital C and a lowercase c in his name? Crickets…
Oh, but pop-culture rectal thermometer Greta Van Susteren, famous for her interpretive dance of No Sleep Til Brooklyn while wearing a merkin woven from 7 teabags, and also a dead ringer for Ayn Rand and the mujsic store guy from the Electric Fetus, who was a huge Beasties fan, had to have dedicated a special comment on the passing, correct? Sadly,…
This link seems to come in handy a lot these days.
Major Kong, they’re for much more than frat parties. The stuff after Licensed to Ill got a lot more nuanced and neat. Although I loved “Licensed.”
Those of us who’ve been praying for our first Zebra-American president are pretty butt-hurt.
Preview is the crew of WordPress editism, or some such…
I, too, am a lifelong fan of Yertle McRCA of the Beast Street Boys, and I am OUTRAGED that you liberal hypocrites aren’t demanding that his killer be brought to justice.
Or like Frank Gorshin in that Star Trek episode.
First, they were silent about the white rappers, and I did not say anything, for I was not a white rapper…
Lemme get this straight, Short Hairs:
Michael Jackson, world-renowned pop idol, the biggest selling artist of the 20th Century, dies, and the White House gives an eulogic statement.
Whitney Houston, arguably the greatest singer of the pop era (note: arguably) and a multi-platinum selling artist in her own right dies, and the White House offers its condolences.
Meanwhile, one-third of a band that had comparatively modest success when compared to the two strawmen you propped up dies, and somehow you expect parity?
What would you call that, affirmative action for failed whiggers?
Still waiting for that Obama confession, re: Andy Breitbart’s execution.
Too.
~
I mean, they said nothing when Levon Helm died, and Helm was undoubtedly the more influential musician when compared to the Beasties. You want to make that argument, then you might have a point. But if Helm got nothing, MCA gets even less.
I guess their music would sound good at a frat party, but that’s about as far as it goes.
They made some pretty strong political statements with their music, Major. I’m not a big fan, but I give them props for doing more than “yo”-ing their way through life.
failed whiggers?
-1000
Major Kong does not approve of pissing on the 3rd rail.

Jay-Z>Beastie Boys> Kanye>The Band
The best part of waking up is reading this comment.
I’ll be chortling over that one all day, I will.
Thats it. You’ve gone and shit on my parade.
Obama was silent when Earl Scruggs died despite the banjo being a Negro invention that was liberated from Africa with the
slavesmigratory agricultural laborers. This disrespect of the composer of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song proves his hatred of the white race, Granny and Jethro and his abiding lust for Ellie Mae.O.T. Light reading (Painter of).
~
Does Obummer have to give a seperate eulogy for each of Spinal Tap’s drummers, or can he lump them all together into one speech?
Pretty sure that when Obama was traveling back in time to fake his birth certificate, he managed to give props to Mick Shrimpton.
Adam Nathaniel Yauch died Friday. If you’re age 16-66 — maybe 106 — you know him as
Seriously? Really? I’m 57 and worked in the music industry when the Beastie Boys came up. My friend Dennis toured with them. Still, I didn’t know Adam Yauch’s name.
A hallmark of public mourning ritual is that politicians and leaders mark the passing of people who died unexpectedly, in tragic or violent circumstances, or of those who contributed significantly to society. Sad as it must be for Yauch’s family, his death was yet another one of the quiet, progressive deaths that so many families experience.
I’ve seen this wingnut meme before and first thought it was a joke. Why Yauch? Why not some other white artist? They sure didn’t bring it up with Levon Helm. Could it have something to do with…oh, I don’t know….the style of music?
Plus – really? He thinks 16 year olds know and revere the Beastie Boys? Is he acquainted with any 16 year olds?
Even shorter Joseph Curl: “Niggers.”
That’s pretty much going to be the shorter for every Obama-centric post these yahoos write from now until November, right?
Obama was publicly silent on the passing of Captain Beefheart, but I like to think Malia brought it up over dinner, and then Barack and Michelle started arguing about what’s the best song on Trout Mask Replica.
(I hate playing favorites, but I especially like Frownland, Moonlight on Vermont, Bill’s Corpse, When Big Joan Sets Up, and others.)
Come to think of it, Obama never recognized when Heavy D died. He obviously has a bias against Overweight Lovers.
Sorry if I’m dissing everybody’s favorite band. The whole smart-assed white rappers from Brooklyn schtick just never did it for me. I guess I just like stuff that has, you know……melody.
Sorry if I’m dissing everybody’s favorite band.
The “Your Favorite Band Sucks” T-Shirt does exist, y’know. So no real harm done.
If I didn’t know what a melody was, I wouldn’t, you know,,,brag about it.
Need a laugh?
No, Trayvon Martin wouldn’t have looked like his son.
Indeed, a tall, skinny kid could not possibly look like he was the son of a tall, skinny man, and for Obama to imply otherwise is RAAAAAACISM.
P.S. if this guy really wants to do the percentages, it’s not like Obama had his kids by budding.
you know,,,brag about it.
Rare example of the comma using camouflage, disguised as an ellipsis. A comma chameleon.
a guy who manifestly spends his time watching the Time-Life DVDs of old Lawrence Welk shows professing some enthusiasm for hip-hop
I dunno the two are not mutually exclusive. My dad likes both Lawrence Welk and (Latin) Hip-Hop. Then again, my dad used to be a Republican. Until the party drifted too far to the right for him: btw, how come you always here people whining about how they “didn’t leave the Democratic party, it left” them, but you never hear from the myriad people who left the GOP? Must be that liberal media I reckon …
It doesn’t really count as “sorry” if you’re going to go ahead and insult an entire genre anyway. You don’t like hip-hop, you don’t like hip hop. That’s fine, the fuck do I care. Just don’t fucking sneer about it like it makes you better than anyone when it doesn’t even make you any different from anyone.
If he had said something about Yauch’s passing, they would have accused him of pandering to the youth, or being against white people for embracing “hipped hop” culture.
Since Obama is exactly half white and exactly half black according to this Moonie Times idiot, one would expect him to only comment on the death of white rappers half the time. So in his second term, he has to eulogize the next dead white rapper and be silent on the next two deaths of blackity black artists and everything will even out. He can do that while handling budgets, legislation, court appointments, foreign crisises and killing whitey.
Can’t we all get along? Maybe we can find something we all agree on, like if Obama doesn’t say anything about Maurice Sendak it is SO OVER.
That’s it. That’s the last straw. I can’t wade in this muck anymore. I’m going to take a shower, chug a bottle of tequila, snort about a pound of crushed Oxycontin, and try to forget I ever read any of this.
You could always console yourself by eating a whole Cookie Puss.
Had a Choco Taco the other night. Its no Cooky Puss, of course.
Also too, why doesn’t the Moonie Times send the White House a list of people, sorted by race of course, who should and shouldn’t merit a presidential mention upon passing away. It will make score-keeping on this vital subject so much easier in that second term.
This. (give credit where it’s due: http://gawker.com/5908434/obamas-new-campaign-ad-it-gets-better-for-the-economy).
Nakedly pining for the good old days of universal White Male Affirmative Action in Amerika = this.
I suspect MCA would find all the hand-wringing of all these VERY CONCERNED trolls pretty rich, given that he played some benefit concerts for the Obama campaign circa 2008. There’s always room for
Jell-Omore inconvenient information in the good ol’ Memory Hole.“That’s pretty much going to be the shorter for every Obama-centric post these yahoos write from now until
November2017, right?”FTFY
Well that’s a fine how do you do. We all know that musical taste is something on which reasonable people can disagree. We can even disagree in ways that make us appear elitist and we can all be friends. Who among us hasn’t humored some blowhard when they drone on about how music sucks these days and how rag-time and jazz are a pernicious corrupting influence, unlike the wholesome polka bands they had when he was a boy? We need to focus on the things we have in common. The things on which we can all agree
That the dude in the tradition peruvian bands that plays the pan pipes needs to chuck that thing and buy a saxophone or something.
This shit is flat out offensive.
1) Bitch please. DO NOT talk about MCA like you knew who the fuck he was.
2) Bitch please. DO NOT call Obama a racist because he didn’t say anything about (what I consider to be) a cornerstone of early rap/punk/generally cool stuff
3) Bitch please. Go to hell and die.
Hey, the Major ain’t no whippersnapper, ya know?
I mean I grew up with the Beatles and the Stones and Hendrix and Elvis …. ..and….
Every generation must accept that the previous generation will not like their music. My dad hated the Beatles; I’m not fond of rap or hip-hop. It’s the cycle of life (Oh, and Elton)
Deadthreaded because apparently I need to appropriate a clue stick.
daphne: Fuck right off.
On the one hand I was waiting for a monumental smackdown, on the other hand I was really impressed that so many managed to engage thier ignore the troll button.
As far as Daftne’s “concerns” about grammar are concerned, I am more concerned with the legibility of “her” formatting of a blog comment. I had no idea who “she” was talking to for a moment, and had to read the shit twice.
Now granted, my problem might be in the chair or between the ears, but if i were to attempt to dissect someone’s sense of fashion, I would make damn sure that I was’t wearing my laundry outfit.
[now to read the new and likely velvety goodness]

Also:
“You know him as…”
FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING SCUZBAG. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
That condescending little term just flames me. If I ever meet this guy, I’m going to break all 12 of his fucking fat fucking webbed fingers.
Why is this making me so fucking angry. I want to break every bone in this fucker’s body.
I couldn’t get past the picture, it kills me!
All right I shall dive back in, though i do hear the siren song of an omelette whispering in the breeze.

Truth to tell, we were all too busy fantasizing about Daphne and Velma getting it on in a haunted women’s locker room.

Commaflage?

I think Obambi has outsourced his shit to Negrodamus.
The really sad thing about the Niggerama the right wing is gorgeing themselves on is that there is a very real young dead kid. Who like all kids of his age was not a perfectly formed person, but one who seemed to have a lot of potential and is now dead because a dude with fear inspired shitstain underoos was carrying a gun.
If calling me a nigger on every hour of the day* would in anyway ameliorate your suffering (terrified white assholes, including octoroons that can “pass” like Zimmerman) have at it. I can arrange to hangout on 72nd and Broadway in NYC for a number of hours a day or on main street on any town on a tour of the heartland and will eat your hatred with a smile.

What substance? Beer? If drinking beer is substance abuse, call me a substance abuser. Beer is not just the downfall of fat sports fans / serial drunk drivers / alcoholics. To quote a
wiseman: “Beer is the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems”tldr; so polka promotes drinking beer to excess. What’s the down side?
Granted, I’m usually the contrarian because I’m not into busty redheads. So I rain all over the Boner Parade with my HOT DUDES.

I am giggling now. Thanks tintin. I am however certain that i return to a state of righteous indignation shortly.
I will take this time to alert the ladies that I have a new post up at my original blog and at my new place Wingularious that has a few pictures from back in the day when I was a fetching young lad in a rock band.

i was googling trayvon martin’s heritage because i had it in my head for some reason that he is also mixed race…anyhoo, i found a site called ‘faith and heritage’ and here’s the very first fucking thing it says:
remember how i tagfail and such?
Faith and Heritage
I work tangential to a field where the word “heritage” is used quite often in its usual sense, but honestly when I see that word in random internet scrolling I assume it’s being used by a neo-confederate whining about how he can’t have slaves any more.
So, you’re saying that a story about a crooked real estate developer disguising herself as the ghost of Sappho to scare off the patrons of an old health resort in order to put up condos doesn’t interest you?

Huh? Did the editors at the Moonie Times take off for a day of hot tubs, cocaine and hookers in Reno and leave the IT department staff behind to edit the newspaper’s columnists?
Whoa, as a former member of an IT department who used to routinely crack up the copy writers in an advertising agency I take no small manner of offence to this slight. I think the department you want to crack on is “account executives” or the “HR department”

Actually that is a triple salchow involving the octoroonagon, and his traitorship of both races. The part on which you were riffing was a veritable pans pipe contructed of dog whistlestops.

The fact is, Curl is correct. At every turn, Obama is pro-black, anti-white. This is rasism of the highest order, in the highest office. Obamas silence on MCA is equivelent to what Hitler did to the Jews.

In as so much as stuff we are aware of and such, this was an allegory. Stapp wearing black leather resembled nothing so much as an overripe eggplant. He had as much business wearing leather as I have holding a shepherd’s crutch and reciting Portnoy’s Complaint on top of a table in a Nepalese barbeque.
Shit don’t fit.
So in his second term, he has to eulogize the next dead white rapper and be silent on the next two deaths of blackity black artists and everything will even out. He can do that while handling budgets, legislation, court appointments, foreign crisises and killing whitey.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love you?

did any of you know that today is ‘polka tuesday’ at our local am station? i am proud that i established that tradition before i told the gm to eat shit and die…
also in local news you may or may not know, the publisher of our weekly newspaper ‘the hooterville indigestion’ has literally said, ‘nana nana boo boo’ concerning his lack of journalistic ethics…i’ve posted a few of his ‘editorials’ from time to time, but this one really floors me…
one of his fallbacks in his ‘column’ is the ever-popular, ever-sanctimonious, ever-100% wingnuttian correctness: the chain email…a couple of weeks ago he reprinted the one about how the obamas had their law licenses taken away from them….last week, a shit ton of people pointed out in their letters to the editor, ‘sadly, no!’ a couple of them posted links to snopes.com…
this is what he has to say about that in this week’s edition…this comes after once again disparaging ‘the press’ and most notably the white house correspondent’s dinner and…okay, i’m just going to start from there…verbatim:
*sigh*
and yes, that is ALL ONE PARAGRAPH…
I am not often accused of this. Good day, sir. I SAID GOOD DAY!

I personally am still waiting for any republican, anywhere to offer eulogies on the death of their dignity, civility, self respect, &c. Oh and the death of irony. That one really saddened me — it was so young and had so much potential!
Obama and MCA? Not so much.

I have been trying to convince my wife that she could earn us a lot of money if she just became a conservative: I imagine the market for an African-American Jewish female purveyor of wingnutatude would be huge.
I dunno if better turns of phrase would really help you, though. I still remember the first time I heard Juan Williams on News and Notes: I couldn’t believe how intelligent he actually is. Evidently part of getting that wingnut welfare is dumbing it down and playing to certain stereotypes people have of you.

If Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi were gone we would be a better nation. Its when they came into power in 2006 running the House and Senate that Federal Spending went through the roof. Then Chris Dodd and Barry Frank did all they could to hide the truth about Fannie and Freddie. This after they FORCED BANKS to make ridiculous loans to unqualified people which caused the Housing collapse. Frank testified both were solvent a mere 3 months before they crashed! Bush tried to reign that in but was blocked by these 4 all the way.He did not go the EXECUTIVE ORDER ROUTE as King Obama does. Slippery Frank is “retiring” because he has ZERO chance of being re-elected. Dodd lays low praying no one will indict him. EVERY BILL the current House has sent the Senate is dead on arrival on Harry Reid’s desk. He never stops playing politics and has zero interests in working across the aisle. A snake politician he then points the finger at the House saying they are being run by the Tea Party; are Obstructionists, when it is REID who is the problem. Don’t believe me??? Then where is the Constitutionally required Budget from the Senate that is over 1000 days late??? House has sent in their budget but Reid won’t call it to the floor. We would not be in this mess if these 4 people were not in Washington. ALL DEMOCRATS.

Anyhoo the comments over there are disquick, which allows pretty much a total of
two parties to flag a comment and have it “dissapeared”. While i can’t be certain, a couple of responses on the first page of the comments were removed, and i suspect that they might have been cogent responses to the wingnuttia that infests the place like one of Jim’s masterworks.

Romney’s disorderly conduct arrest really does illustrate how out of touch he is.
Every poor person, however dumb, has figured out that fines that leave them flat busted are nothing to rich folk/corps. We might as well say “these rules are for poor folk.” That’s why the officer at the lake arrested Romney — he couldn’t abide that attitude, stated to his face. And the charges were dropped because Romney could afford to cause a ruckus.
He’d like his wealth to be framed in terms of success, merit, etc. Maybe he’d like to recount how he stuck up for himself and how very normal and righteous an anecdote it is. Surely down-market conservatives understand this type of privilege and resent it on some level. But what am I saying, they like an unfair hierarchy and they can rationalize eating shit themselves to make it work.

Whats not to like about that, It would seem that he is everything else under the sun. The anti-semitical part of his being is perfectly consistant with his Islamic sensabilities, and as he attended madrassas in Indonesia and is a Blackity Black from kenya at least he can’t be accused of self hatred.

MCA was better in his earlier band, The Beastie Babies.

I simply wanted to see it again. It is also one of the reason that I argue that wingnuts don’t want to return us to the nineteenth century, that era is way to progressive for them. Their target is the twelth century so they can be on time to drown the baby magna carta in its bathwater.

My favorite part of it is the whole premise: two bored/unsatisfied people in a relationship both posting/responding to personal ads. As if the protagonists, upon seeing the significant other at the bar wouldn’t react “aw fuck! I hope he/she didn’t see me!” and then running away.
Ladies, gentlemen and variations thereupon, I present to you THE Republican.
He blocked me so I can’t actually see what’s on his feed right now, but a few days ago, he made about 30 “Obama eats dogs” jokes in an hour, including the gem, “Good burger not dog like Obama ate”, which I’m sure means something.
And just to get the full picture read my last sentence aloud with gritted teeth.
LOL. If it’s any consolation, I looked at the Billboard 100 from 1979 and now have a rotation of about 5 of those goddamn abominations stuck in my thinkbox. I DON’T LIKE IT.
Now that i have finished reading your response I feel much better. a few fred and barney vids should do the trick.
i am sorry for you that you decided to look up the chart toppers of ’79 and can only ask what you were thinking.
Granted there was a bunch of great music being made at the time, but none of it was making the top 100.
I do happen to be one of those types that feels really bad for the player that scores an own goal though, so i shall stop muttering and shaking my fist.

Whenever Obama commented on Jay-Z or Kanye West, wasn’t it because some reporter asked the President what he thought about whatever it was said hip-hop superstars did that was worthy of note? I remember they asked him about Kanye’s now immortal “Imma let you finish” bit, but I can’t recall what it was that Jay-Z did that hacked off conservatives apart from being black.
So, in other words, anyone asked what Obama thought about MCA’s passing?

There actually is some history to literary vampires giving off their own light (not including the many with glowing eyes).
Otto Goetzi (not a Goatse link, I swear), the vampire from Paul Féval’s La Ville-Vampire (1867), glowed green (among other weird things) when doing vampirey stuff.
“So, in other words, anyone asked what Obama thought about MCA’s passing?”

BREAKING: Major crisis averted! I found some hot sauce. That and some salt and pepper have now made the salad delightfully zesty. Still wish I’d remembered the dressing.
If I’m not mistaken, a child can be darker than both biological parents. – wiley
Trying to go back to my undergrad/grad school bio days: generally genes for darker skin are dominant and for lighter skin are recessive. If only a single gene were responsible for skin color (and environment played no role and the alleles — let’s label them D and d — were fully penetrant, etc.), then a kid could be lighter than his/her parents but not darker: e.g. a Dd/Dd cross (between two dark people) could yield a light skinned dd but assuming full dominance, etc., Dd has the same dark phenotype as DD.
Now if you have more than one gene with multiple alleles, it would be more complicated. But, AFAIK, essentially a kid can be slightly darker than both parents (my brother, for example, is darker skinned than either of my parents) but not that much darker. OTOH, dark skinned parents can have an arbitrarily light skinned kid (although it is less and less likely to happen the greater the pigmentation difference is) — for example, there are cases where two blackety-black parents have a blond kid.
…wasn’t it because some reporter asked the President what he thought about whatever it was said hip-hop superstars did that was worthy of note?
I always dig the fact that they always ask the black guy what he thinks about what some other random black dude did that offended someone.
I don’t seem to remember asking, say for instance New Gingrich, about why he thought the unibomber went off the rails, y’know, ’cause they are both white and such.

‘Sparkly’ is different from glowing…decaying things shine feebly.
Note that (at least to Sookie Stackhouse, in the first book) vampires seem to have a very slight glow, and those books are fun and inadvertently hilarious and got turned into TV with breasts. Glowing is acceptable…unicorns sparkle.

I respectfully disagree. The wingnuts I bet love them some Magna Carta as it prevents the ebil central gummint from interfering with the rights of the local nobility to do whatever the hell they damned well please.
However, the Magna Carta also conferred some rights to the common man reagarding trials and rights of the accused, while serving as a template for the expansion of same and codifying the notion of rights in the first place, therefor I will stick with my thesis.
The wingnuts are all about unlimited rights — for the gentry and nobility.
On this point we are in perfect accord. We also must remember that wingers are not big on history, consent or context. I think that many of them would be happy if the constitution consisted soley of the second ammendment. The sad thing is that in their minds eye if we rolled shit back to the middle ages each one of them think that they will be lord of the Manor.
Silly silly wingnuts.

I always dig the fact that they always ask the black guy what he thinks about what some other random black dude did that offended someone.
Sometimes they mine gold with that shit though. See: Tony Dungy RE: Terrill Owens and that ugly chick who everyone thinks is hot but really isn’t that was on Desperate Housewives as the evil one I think but weren’t they all evil?.
When I find the quote, I’ll post it.

I found this article very educational. Oh, not for much but I, for instance, did not know Adam Yauch also went by MCA.
POOP.
ahhhhhh, yes…who doesn’t like crap?!?! and yes, this is an actual ad that ran in the same local paper is posted about earlier today…it was this restaurant’s new year’s eve special…i’m guessing the wait staff had a long, long evening…
this is the same newspaper which also ran a headline featuring the ortonville swimming poop, had an article in which a young athlete made the winning shit in the final seconds of a game and also had a headline on the front page about our pubic library…
but this example still cracks my shit up…
I do not want poop steak.
Well if you would just stop with your secret meetings and keep all us white folk in the loop on all these important things that your elected race representatives like this so-called “Kanye” person were saying. I mean geez, the nerve!
I’ve been pre-birthday gifted with lots of giggles today Thanks again OBS.
On a serious note it always gets me how us black folk are always somehow responsible for explaining the actions of completely unrelated individuals in a way that white folks aren’t. but I guess i more or less already made that point, so carry on.
Also too, I would love it if the next time that were to happen Obama or some other black person of note, would answer one of those queries with some variation of “what do you think about it?” Or conversely What the fuck does it matter what I think about something that Harry Belefonte said aside from the fact that it was most likely true or the result of being poked with a stick one too many times. What the fuck do you have to say about Limbaugh or ted Nugent, white guy, they are your people, reflect poorly on your race” (which is always the subtext of the original line of questioning in the first place).
I will put the latter response in the things I wish, but will never see file.

I have a feeling that if I was in riding distance to chez OBS, I would find myself conveniiently “in the neighborhood” quite frequently. before long I would be attempting to convince the proprietor that what he needs see, is a 5 barrel capacity mash tun, see, and a bright tank see, and some guerilla hop gardens [imagine the sound of a bottle opening] see, a commando raid of the nearest distillery or vinyard for a 265 liter barrel see…..I would probably attempt in the shamelessest way possible to drink him out of house and home. Now don’t get me wrong, i’d put some sweat equity into the effort at least offering to retrieve the beers from the fridge see.

I see you’ve met many of my friends Provider! Well, minus the “sweat equity” part, buncha lazy pikers. They mostly just tell me how great my beer is, ask for more, then wonder why I don’t do it professionally. Duh, because then it wouldn’t be fun anymore. Well, that and the lawyers. And “business people” and such as.
I would almost consider starting a brewery if I could brew limited release stuff in small batches and just basically have one rotating tap at one dedicated pub. One of the biggest things that would annoy me about running a real brewery is making endless batches of IPA over, and over, and over, and over. And over also too.
Heh. Staff. Long, long. Heh.
Uck. Me no like IPA. I do want to try your beer, OBS. I MIGHT end up going through Portland (to Eugene) in late summer. My favs are wheat type things like Heffewinehinsens

ach! mine are acting up, too…
Lucky for me, I have a daughter going to college this fall.
Thanks Repigs. Thanks a fucking lot. Please kill yourself.
In the book ‘The Drawing of the Dark’ by Tim Powers, a central plot element is a monastery that has been brewing beer for centuries in a single huge cask set on a dirt floor over the grave of an ancient hero. By drinking the dark beer drawn from the lowest point in the cask, a person could gain magical power including the power to extend ones life for decades or in one case, centuries. I think that’s the sort of brew of brew pub you should open. The locating of an ancient hero’s grave is left as an exercise for the reader.
They can’t stop being horrible for even one second.

Well, The Legendary Billy isn’t dead, but he’s moving kind of slow and seems pretty stupid (or maybe just depressed), so I think his cave would do.

You know where to find him. Starts with “Inn”, ends with “mouth”.
Oh, you won’t like my beer then, I’m not a big wheat person myself (although I made a good Belgian Wit once). I actually love IPAs, I just wouldn’t like to make the same beer (IPA, wheat, wevs) over and over and over like a commercial operation has to do.
“GOP senators want a vote on their own version heading off the interest rate increases and paid for by eliminating a preventive health fund created by President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care overhaul.”
Brilliant. Preventive health care saves us money. So the republican plan to offset lost revenue associated with student loan interest rates is: spend more money on health care down the road. If anyone asks how that works better, they’ll brandish a shrunken head and babble about Obamacare.

Far from an original observation, but:
I bet a wheat beer made from that scarecrow (Ray Bolger) would have magic powers. Or at least be eerie to drink.

I’ll tell you what’s sexy.
The weather here today is about 74° and sunny, with just a slight, pleasant breeze. There is no haze or dust in the air, and the trees have almost regained their summer plummage.
I was driving home for lunch, the perfect song was on my iPhone (Don’t You Forget About Me by Simple Minds), the sunroof open. I stopped at a 4 way stop, under a massive cherry blossom tree. The whole area appeared to be snowing cherry blossoms. One fell through the sunroof and landed on my thigh just as the last refrain was being kicked in by that masterpiece of a drum fill. All was right with the world for that brief moment.

Omg, I love cherry blossoms.
Widmer makes a good Weissebier, so I hear. Don’t care for them much myself but everyone I know who does says Widmer’s is very good.
I like IPAs. I am fond of hops. But this PNW obsession with hops has gotten out of hand. More is not always better. I see it the same way I view the bacon fetishists. Adding bacon doesn’t necessarily make anything better nor even good.
It would be interesting and perhaps fun to create dishes around different beers. A weekly changing menu of both food and beer actually sounds like fun.

AFAIK, these rights did not apply to serfs or Jews (of course, wingnuts are temporarily down with us Jews, so substitute Muslims here), for example. I am sure your average wingnut rather likes his right to a trial, etc. He just doesn’t want the riff-raff to have those rights.

Opposing Obama in any and every way is ipso facto the best thing for the Republic and its citizens. Remember, when these guys were sworn in, they took an oath to preserve, protect and defend every way possible to stick it to Barack Obama.

Why? Is George Clinton hiding in your closet?
Zippers. My that’s a funny story. It’s been a problem for me more times than I care to say. Once, maybe when I was eighteen or so (and very sensitive about my appearance), I was stopped on the sidewalk by a sweet looking old lady. She said, “Young man, your fly is down.” Then she nodded her head towards my shoes.Hah. I had no idea what she meant. So I said, “Peace”, since it was like 1970 and still cool to say. I continued on my way. Less than a block away, two little boys sprang off the bench where they sitting with their mamas, ran straight up to me and practically yelled, “Hey mister, your fly is down!” Well shit I thought, still not getting it, and threw them the peace sign. They ran back to the bench laughing, their mamas kind of staring angry at me.
I finally got to where I was going, the old S&S cafeteria, and strolled in, oblivious. While I’m standing in line, my chemistry teacher from highschool, Mr Turner, walked over to me and said, “Robert, you need to go to the men’s room.” Well, damn, I thought, how’d he know that? Yeah, I needed to pee, but I thought I could wait until after lunch at least. So I said, “I’ll go after lunch.” Mr Turner stared into my eyes for a second and hissed, “You were always a smart ass, Robert. Do you really want to walk through the dining room with your pecker hanging out?” Holy shit. All of a sudden it hit me. I glanced down, afraid of what I would see, and there it was, about eight inches of my shirt tail sticking straight out of my un-zipped pants, just like a pecker. Always a problem.
Why? Is George Clinton hiding in your closet?

Not to mention how having some nice mellow funk playing might impress the ladeez.
Funny you should mention that, because ALL of my soloing is pretty much based on that stuff.
“On Feb. 5, Breitbart had dinner cooked by Ayers at the home of Ayers and Dohrn after Daily Caller publisher Tucker Carlson won a “Super Bowl Dinner” auctioned off by Ayers for $2,500.”
I think Jim Treacher did it. He was always jealous of Andy.
“He died of natural causes,” Bannon said. “The family wants the matter put to rest, and WND is beginning to irritate me suspecting foul play.”
After recruiting the assistance of private investigators, WND found that Lasseter, the 26-year-old witness who saw Breitbart drop dead, is no longer residing at his last known address in California.
At the request of WND, Ohio-based private investigator Susan Daniels recruited a California-based private investigator to find Lasseter. The local investigator tried without success to find a cell phone or landline phone number for Lasseter.
…stalk stalk stalk…
The investigator concluded Christopher Lasseter had “hunkered down” in what seemed to be an attempt to avoid further questioning.
Ah hahahaha!

Thanks!! Spokane, Washington. (Or Eastern Idaho as we lovingly call it here)
Wait–WESTERN Idaho. See what I mean?
Agreed entirely. I think folks are finally getting the clue though, as I see fewer new ridiculously over hopped beers coming out. I’m also hopeful that the nascent “hop terroir” movement can get off the ground and we’ll get some really neat local hop varieties with all sorts of cool new flavor and aroma complexities, instead of just “more bitter” and “yet more citrus and/or marijuana aroma” we have now.
It’s kind of cool that Budweiser being bought by foreigners, who then moved to developing their own ultra-high-alpha hops in Europe instead of the PNW may finally bring about the day where the seemingly-neverending quest for higher alpha acid hops is finally over.
Yes, please!
BTW, did you ever do that something or other you were going to cook somehow or another using Old Rasputin stout?
I’m not much of a beer-knower guy, and I’m sort of over the whole “here, try this, man” and fighting to contain the gag reflex when I’m handed something that smells like bathroom scent spray and tastes like flat, stale urine. I found a few beers I like and pretty much stick with those.
I once thought that a cool tap handle meant you were probably getting a decent beer. WRONG.
Not yet. Patience my little paduwan.

I’m tired of waiting for tsam and that damn bottle of dressing to show up, so I’m outta here to head to a big fancy beer tasting. I hope the beer is yummy and that the bicycle ride home afterward is uneventful…
Whoever it was upthread who brought up the goddamned Pina Colada Song, you can just go straight to hell.
That song sucks the chrome off a trailer hitch. It is NOT catchy; it is both trite and disgusting at the same time. Let’s break it down:
This douche places a personal ad, talking about how he likes fucking PINA COLADAS. That’s got “Axe Personal Body Spray” written ALL THE FUCK OVER IT, number one; number two, the rest of the ad reads like it was written by one of those “patterning” creeps who go to the seminars to learn how to bamboozle teh ladeez into dropping their undies…ladeez in whom they have NO INTEREST other than a quick (and for the ladies I’m sure unsatisfying) roll in the hay. Who the fuck LIKES pina coladas? Has a heterosexual male EVER ordered a fucking pina colada? I have my doubts.
But then it gets worse…first off, he’s placed this ad behind his girlfriend’s back. He says he’s bored with her, but instead of breaking up and moving on, it’s “well, I think I’ll fuck around on her instead.” Then when he shows up to meet the woman who was fucking stupid enough to want to hook up with a guy who’s admitted, IN PRINT, to drinking pina coladas, it turns out it’s his own girlfriend! So she’s just as skanky as he is. And instead of this leading to a discussion about how it’s time to go separate ways, both of them are immediately ok with the fact that the other was planning on fucking a complete stranger that night. Hey, no big deal, amirite?
Then the very worst bit…the final part of the song…these two skank losers have invested so much in their relationship that they obviously do not know the first fucking thing about one another. “Oh, really? I never knew that you like fucking on the beach.” WTF? Why, other than like attracting like, were these two skanks ever together in the first place, since it’s obvious that neither of them gives a shit about the other?
/end rant/
The men who stare at grannies.
So she’s just as skanky as he is.

Anyone begins an anecdote like that, you know it’s time to walk don’t run to the nearest exit.
But what about getting caught in the rain, Jennifer?
Not to change the subject, but…let me change the subject.
We were recounting money woes yesterday or the day before on the last thread. I have for the past couple of months been trying to weigh whether or not to close my business and just go get a full time job. The last year and a half has been really tough; first I went through all that shit with that cunt of a business partner. I finally got rid of her and I’m ready to turn things around and – BLAMMO! – I get mono. So I lost pretty much my entire sales season last spring, and of course that translated into less sales this past fall and this spring. I’ve literally been hanging by a thread, and had made the decision that if I didn’t end the school year with a lot of contracts in hand for the fall, I was going to shut it down. And up until about 2 weeks ago, it looked as if that’s what was going to happen – I had only a couple of sales lined up. Then, in the past 2 weeks, I’ve landed another dozen. This is great news, as it means the business will make enough to actually pay me a salary again starting this fall. The only problem is all the debt I’ve got in the form of my original business loan & what got racked up last year when I was sick.
So, I’ve been thinking along the lines of making something to sell, and want to bounce it off you good folks. I’m thinking of putting together a “comments out of context” page-a-day calendar and selling those, hopefully to some of you good people and others like you. The kinks to iron out: 1) would anyone buy the damn thing? I’m thinking of a price between $10 & $15; if I could unload a few thousand of them it would make a big dent in my debt. 2) if you’ve ever seen one of my comments out of context posts, you know that the comments are written by you brilliant people and others like you here on the internets. It’s not my work & while it’s not copyrighted and people have pretty much put it out there for free, I wouldn’t want to be a dick about it and use something only to have the author get upset about it. So there’s the issue of permissions, which legally aren’t required but again, I wouldn’t want to be a dick about it to anyone and if they didn’t want their stuff published (by me) then I would leave it out.
So, feedbacks, please.

Shitty song trolling mission: ACCOMPLISHED
I’ll buy one! But you have to put a video on YouTube of you signing the piña colada song, front to back, in a mullet wig. That would be cool.
tsam – well then, I guess you WON’T BE BUYING ONE.
And who says I would need a wig?
Thanks, vs. Now, I just need 1,999 more suckers!
What do you think about the issue of permissions, though? I would use the same format I’ve used in my posts – crediting the person’s nym and the place, date & time posted.
Jennifer –
Ask the commenters for permission. Most of them are people you know from sites like S,N! and would be okay with it. I know you used one of mine once and I’d be glad to let you have that and all the thousands of other pearls that drop from my keyboard.
But you have to put a video on YouTube of you signing the piña colada song

That’s a great one! I’ll have to try that out on my boss next time I let a mistake into my magazine.
“I really wanted to verify that with the Specialty Coffee Association guy, but he hunkered down in what seemed to be an attempt to avoid further questioning.”
I waive all rights to anything I’ve said/made, et cetera. In fact it’d help if you said they were by someone else.

N_B – yeah, and probably most if not all of the proprietors of my usual haunts would be willing to put up an alert post to let folks who comment there that I’ve culled one of their pearls. So that might be a good way to get in touch with anyone whose comments I’m planning to use.
FTFY.
That’s a funny way to abbreviate “I’ll be in my bunk.”
Jennifer:
1) Hell yes, I’d buy one.
2) Feel free to use any ramblings of mine you may care to.
But I’m curious about something…If you have contracts lined up, can’t you take out a loan? Businesses borrow against future collectibles all the time. Is the problem that you’re not well established, or that bankers got so burned playing with shit like CDOs that they’re now too scared and fucked up to lend money to legit businesses?
Small biz loans are still v try hard to get. My established (20 years this July) firm can’t get a line of credit.
Motherfucking banksters.
arglebargled “very”
Bitter Scribe – I already have a loan, actually a credit line, with a balance that has dropped only a few percent since I took it out in Jan. 2010. I was really lucky to have been able to secure that in the first place, considering how tight credit was at the time. I haven’t missed any payments but there was quite a while where they were interest-only payments. Bottom line: I can expect to clear enough in the fall to cover operations and pay myself and my part-time bookkeeper…or pay the credit line down by 1/4 to 1/3. Not both. And the credit line really needs paying down; my mother co-signed for it and I need to get it paid off ASAP. 2-1/2 years in and 97% of it is still sitting there. The bank extended it for a year last September, and I don’t know if they’ll extend it again or not; if not, we should be able to get them to roll it over into a longer-term business loan.
“pearls that drop from my keyboard” sounds very much like an overshare to me.
Well, in the world of karmic retribution, the “Pina Colada” guy has had to drink like 70 gazillion pina coladas for the rest of his life, because it’s all anyone will serve him.

Then you get this kind of shit happening. http://www.salon.com/2012/05/08/a_catholic_schools_anti_gay_snub/ Did you see the one where the successful alum was disinvited from speaking at his little brother’s graduation (as (valedictorian?) when they found out the older brother is a fag.
The Republicans insist on paying for student loan funding by taking away preventive health care instead of closing fucking tax LOOPHOLES.
I didn’t think I could be more disgusted by our culture. Then i watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR9gyloyOjM

There’s not enough gin in the world to help me right now.
“pearls that drop from my keyboard” sounds very much like an overshare to me.
Be happy I avoided the Pez-dispenser metaphor.
I would love to have one of your calendars Jennifer.

If I have made any comment worthy of inclusion I hereby release all claim to it. I’m equally prepared to deny that I ever said it in the first case, if necessary.
There was a fellow at the dog park some while back asking to take a picture of Bagoas’ POOP. He puts out a calendar of dog poop pics every year. He bought a very pricey big house on the river with the proceeds. Drives a Porsche, thanks to the calendar. If you find this information useful it will make me happy.
All my comments posted here are public domain, Jennifer. I would like to see my name on them though, as well as everyone else’s. It adds crucial contextual element that lubes up the funny prior to insertion.
tsam – well then, I guess you WON’T BE BUYING ONE.
ummmm, yeah…tsam said you had to SIGN the pina colada song, which actually would just be you standing there with your middle fingers raised…i know you can do it…
also, too…i would totes buy a calendar or three…
Nice how rights and equality are subject to public referendum. IWW should use the Constitution for toilet paper since we’re not using it anyway.
“Whoever it was upthread who brought up the goddamned Pina Colada Song, you can just go straight to hell.”
Wasn’t me — I just fed some big logs into that fire. And I acknowledge that you changed the subject.
I knew nobody would wanna discuss the fine lyrics of Don Van Vliet (AKA Captain Beefheart) so I didn’t even try. Didn’t quote a line of ’em, even though he died in 2010 and Obama said nothing, the dirty old bastard. Like a beaten dog I went all Pina Colada.
All the Trout Mask Replica lyrics (and others) are here, more or less accurately:

Shit, if I netted more than enough to pay off my debt, I’d start mailing out checks to all the good folks who let me use their words. I like the house I have and if I get all this shit paid off, it won’t be a problem when my 14-year old Mustang with 175,000 miles craps out. It’s showing no signs of doing so any time soon. I can tell you this – when I do have to buy another car, it’s going to be some dorky Ford model. They make good cars and as an old fart, I don’t really care about flashy or pretty so much anymore.

okay, i thought my brother was the only weirdo like this…except he wants to use human poops in toilets…like one with confetti and noisemakers for new years…and other ones with various foods that might have been ingested at celebrations and what have you…
Thanks, vs. Now, I just need 1,999 more suckers!
I’d buy one, and you may use whatever you’d like from my voluminous contributions here and at Eschaton. As if! 🙂 Seriously, no charge.
And send me the address of your nearest convenient Walgreens, and I will send you a cat photo for pickup within the hour.
.
Jennifer: I like the calendar idea a great deal, and might buy one.
What worries me is that there are many, many things in this price range that I want to acquire, including things much more desired than your product probably could be. I think you’ll understand I mean no offense.
You’d have an effective demand problem. Folks who’d want the calendar can’t or should not buy it. I am about $140,000 in debt (not counting my wife’s) and will make about $38,000 next year.
I mean to say that our economy needs demand, not tax cuts. I don’t wanna talk about my budget, nohow.
Whoever it was upthread who brought up the goddamned Pina Colada Song, you can just go straight to hell.
Hey, it’s written by a guy who wrote a song about cannibalism among miners trapped in a cave-in, what did you expect?
(I bet you think I’m kidding.)
Jennifer: I’d buy one. And on the off chance that you find any of my shit quotable, it’s yours.
I don’t know why some of us don’t start a DKos type blog with multiple contributors and sell advertising. We could put lots of posts in there and be funny
I’m not into Yoga. Rush Limbaugh is also not into Yoga. That’s a pretty wide spectrum of people you got there, Pina Colada Guy.
Although I’m pretty sure I have at least half a brain, which I couldn’t say for Rushbo.
As I suggested earlier, Pina Colada guy may be prepared to reject woman with MORE than half a brain.
If I get that damn Pina Colada song stuck in my head there’s going to be bloodlusty vengeance.
You have been warned.
it’s too late for me…i am on round two of it THANK YOU TSAM!!!
also, what really, really bugs me about that song besides aforementioned dippy lyrics and idiotic plot…it’s the use of the term ‘my old lady’…that in itself is junkpunch worthy…
The fact is, you liberals who dismiss the Tea Party do so at your paril. Note that RINO Lugar has been sent packing and gays are against the consitution, so take that courts of bias. America is taking our country back.
If you like bloodlust vengeance
And getting stabbed in the rain
If you’re not into wingnuts
And you have half a brain
If you like making fun of conservatives’ writings at length
The this is the blog you’re looking for, write a comment nonsense
Yep, things are never so bad that the Tea Party can’t fuck them up worse than they already are.
You leave my paril out of this!
“If I get that damn Pina Colada song stuck in my head there’s going to be bloodlusty vengeance.”
I can’t guarantee it’ll clear the earworm, but just watch the Magic Band playing “Electricity” a few times. There’s nothing like it!*
* “Another sandwich!” said the King.
“There’s nothing but hay left now,” the Messenger said, peeping into the bag.
“Hay, then,” the King murmured in a faint whisper.
Alice was glad to see that it revived him a good deal. “There’s nothing like eating hay when you’re faint,” he remarked to her, as he munched away.
“I should think throwing cold water over you would be better,” Alice suggested: “— or some sal-volatile.”
“I didn’t say there was nothing better,” the King replied. “I said there was nothing like it.” Which Alice did not venture to deny.
That’s fine Rary Guppert, the part of the country you’re “taking back” we don’t want in the first place. Please “take it back” and then stay the fuck there.
I’ve been humming In The Court Of The Crimson King all day, if anyone wants a different type of ear worm.
Oh, N_B, that album makes up for a ton of bad prog-rock. If it and the phonographs weren’t downstairs you’d have got me to put it on.

No thanks.
Who the fuck LIKES pina coladas? Has a heterosexual male EVER ordered a fucking pina colada? I have my doubts.
Ooh! Ooh! I knew someone, must’ve been 1981. When our work crew went to a bar, a guy from our crew had one, he even had it virgin. I kept wondering if he was a Mormon or some other abstentious religion. He let me have a taste of it. A damn coconut frappe. I didn’t see how alcohol could improve that and gladly went back to my bourbon.
I love all sissy drinks. A big BOO HOO when the Vancouver Trader Vic’s closed down.
“a guy from our crew had [a pina colada], he even had it virgin”
I think when the server asked him what he wanted, he blurted out the name of a drink, a name he knew. It was a Brick Tamland moment:
Is there such a thing as a non-virgin Shirley Temple? The drink, I mean, since after she married Mr. Black, the real virginity boat had probably sailed.
I would share my giant block of cheese with you, if I had one.
But get this: I get $0.32/mile to ride from home to the training site and back, again, the next three days. That’ll total up to ~$75.00. My fuel cost will be about $11. w00t!

You all know I will forever be scouring the Internet for the most annoying songs on the planet to torture you with, right?

Jennifer, I tend to be an out of context comment generator as my primary means of humor involve tangent and hyperbole.
While I might not be as funny, interesting or erudite as I like to think I am, you are free to steal anything I have ever written, that you might think worthy. And while I am in no shape to offer anything related to direct financial assistance, I might have some skills that might be of use from a production of the final product perspective that could be made to be available to assist with any of the heavy lifting as far as sifting, editing, etc.
And by steal, I mean that I cede the rights to my entire body of work on the intertrons to your disposal. If you need a shiftless and lazy collaborator on this venture, you have got your man.

Thanks for the Beefheart. Man was a god. I dig Trout Mask Replica, but for pure listening pleasure, I gotta go for Bat Chain Puller every time. But that’s just me. Follow that up with Howlin’ Wolf’s Chess Masters double vinyl and that’s heaven on a stick right there.
Bat Chain Puller is a fine album, L.D. Have a good night!
Jennifer as unlikely as it might be, anything you want to use of mine, help yourself.
The comments out of context posts were great. I used to look forward to them.
By the way Jennifer, you are on the temporay will kill list for bringing up the song that must not be named. You see you compounded the original error by bringing it up again.
To be fair, i put my own self on the list when I responded to the original comment as you might see up thread, or maybe i gave myself a time-out, but still!
I will debate with the supreme court in my head whether I have made a second violation regarding the possibility that I might have compounded the errror a second time though I have found that Along comes maryby the Association to be a decent antidote to the earworm. obviously OMMV (others). But it did the trick after you put that shit back into my head.
i will admit that your rant about it indicated that you were as pissed as I was, though I had to live through the thing in real time.
Oh Crap. it is my 47th Birthday for realz, not just in France. My 48th trip around the sun begins sometime today. I honestly never thought that I would make it this far along the space time continuum. I must be a fucking cat.
I swear to any invisible sky buddy and the FSM If there was a video recording the highlights of some of the shit I have managed to evade un or lightly scathed, agape a thousand jaws would be. Add to the list shit that didn’t involve death defying, but served as a demonstration of extemporaneous genius involving design, music or the problem solving arts.
Let me tell you, that arriving at the space time coordinates that contain a football and a streetsign at about twenty miles an hour (I was gonna make that fucking catch) is not pretty. Thankfully I caught the sign out of the corner of my eye at the last second and was able to use my elbow to save my face. Unfortunately when i tried to get out of my shift that evening I was informed that someone had called in sick (read got too drunk the night before), so I covered my table bussing/salad bar shift after getting a half hour of leeway to secure bandaging. Fortunately when the management saw the extent of injury, they never questioned the one other time I reqested to pass on a shift due to injury (I’m one of those bridge too far types), unfrotunately on that night we were slammed and understaffed. later the party who had decided to party apologized.
In any event thank you very much for letting me digress and conquer. Hitting the pavement at 43 + miles an hour on a bicycle is another story with which some of you may be familiar.
Both true, and yet somehow I have made it to the point wherein I can start yet another trip round the sun.
Though I think I have given up the death defying. I really wanted to bomb down a hill at 55 when I turned 55, on a bicycle that i had built myself. If I get the opportunity to build my fifth frame and thousandth pair of wheels I will go out in a blaze of glory and if the past is any indication, land on my feet. I know the perfect hill, and have hit 62mph on it before (53-11 gearing, pro style aero tuck) a straight away shot with a straight bottom quartermile leading to an uphill straight. If I am still alive by then I will get pushbromms out, manacure the course.
It should be obvious at this point what kind of idiot I am, but thanks for your allowing me a little indulgence.

That i am still consuming all Y’alls oxygen is a fine thing.

That’s on the “Reservoir Dogs” soundtrack, so I have that song burned into my memory and then some.
Uncalled for.
Suezboo. Thanks. You are very sweet and the world needs as much of that as she can get her hands on.

Yes. They’re called hipsters.

True story about BofA: when my parents wanted to buy a bigger home, they applied to BofA for a mortgage (which they could easily afford). BofA turned them down. Later on, when BofA took over the local bank at which they banked, BofA offered them a refinance that they could not afford. And this was before
the JewsBarney Frank destroyed the banking system by forcing banks to loan money to “those people”(TM).Relevant. Unsettling. Blogwhore.
Who the fuck LIKES pina coladas? Has a heterosexual male EVER ordered a fucking pina colada? – Jennifer
I actually like Pina Coladas (and I am a heterosexual male). But I would NEVER order one (so half of the quoted statements are true): I would only drink a Pina Colada if it is made with a rum that is flavorful enough to actually add something to the drink (i.e. if someone could have substituted vodka for the rum, why would I bother to order the drink when I could just have coconut milk, a pineapple juice and get drunk later on good whiskey), yet light enough to not make the drink taste like it was made with spoilt burnt molasses. IOW, I’m not going to spend good money on a pina colada made with cheap Bacardi.
I’ll just, in the privacy of my own home, mix for my wife and I some pineapple juice, coconut milk (or coconut water for something lighter) and some Brugel, Barcelo, Curzon or Wray and Nephew (depending on what we have in the house) and maybe even add some seasonings. Now if only they’d end the embargo so we could get Havana Club …
Anyway — feel free to use my comments …
Yeah, btw, I didn’t specify, but I figured that my being in near-constant need of validation would make it obvious that…yes, you may use my quotes. TELL ME I’M FUNNY! VALIDATE ME, JENNIFER!

ONE person actually admits what’s REALLY going on.
…but yes, I’m sure I will sweep up many of your pearls of humor, so thank you.
When I was in San Juan, I saw a plaque commemorating a certain bar or hotel (can’t remember which one) as the birthplace of the pina colada. And I saw it out the window of my bus. The fucking thing was huge–the size of a picture window. They take their rum drinks seriously down there.
I only hear this as sung by the Circle Jerks.
I hate Pina Coladas because I HATE HATE HATE HATE coconut.
I do, however, LOVE Mai Tais. Mmmmmmmmmmm
I have been known to have me some foofy drinks too, as well as dumbass shit like anything with “Irish” in the name. (You people are fucked up with your trash cans and car bombs and shit).
Yes, I know that’s not really Irish, but all the guys who wear kilts (LOL) on St. Patrick’s Day seem to love them.

Twitter makes me all nostalgic for the wit and wisdom of CB radio.
For Major Kong
Give this a try–more melodic hip hop by an absolutely fantastic group called Cunninlynguists. The name itself makes them worth a listen.
The problem with hip hop is the same problem rock has. Sturgeon’s Law–writ large in the case of rap/hip hop.

Ooooooh, I’m drivin’ my life away….
The CB radio/trucker phenomenon gave us such timeless wonders as BJ and The Bear. At the time, I felt that truckers who pack monkies around were grossly underrepresented in pop culture. BJ and The Bear helped to bring this class of people to the forefront of the discussion about American culture.
Wasn’t Uriah Heep the inspiration for Spinal Tap?
I just bought a copy of The Best of Uriah Heep on LP, and the entire back cover of the dust jacket is a flowchart and exegesis of past and present (as of 1976) band members—mostly drummers—so, yeah.
Has a heterosexual male EVER ordered a fucking pina colada?
Only heterosexual male werewolves.
I have this song in my liberry.

Not bad.
@Nym: Oh, lizard shit! Goldberg is doing that “nominated for a Pulitzer Prize” shtick? I remember this old, broken-down drunken hack of a community newspaper editor doing that every year, and we would all laugh our asses off about it. How utterly fucking pathetic.
You might like this too.
Pay attention to the lyrics–it’s a classical reminiscence tune, very well written. Good perspective piece for us whities.

validate me!feel free to use them. And I’d buy one.Provider: Happy Birthday!
I like the cut of your jib — I once hit 52 mph on my mountain bike down a gravel road, and have many scars to prove the ridiculous things I’ve done. One of the better ones was doing “street luge” before they called it that — just laying down on your skateboard and bombing hills. Great fun until even with trucks tightened to maximum and laying down you hit wobble-speed. Thankfully the pain doesn’t really start until you stop sliding so you can almost enjoy the novelty of sliding down a paved hill on your ass.
I also had the “football catch with bonus pole embellishment” experience, but in my case it was in a back yard and it was a clothesline pole. Made the catch, ended up unconscious with a black eye, but thankfully no bandages were needed.
Oh, and re: earworms. This.

That’s a top 5 most annoying song. I HATE that he turned into a full on dumbfuck redneck. Jackass. I used to sort of like him, now I think he’s just pathetic.
Also.
>His hair was PERFECT.
In the window of Lee Ho Fooks in Soho, there is a large poster of Warren Zevon (I ate dim sum across the street from it).
I recall an high-school “talent” show; this homely girl no-one knew went on stage to unpleasant murmurs, then completely bowled people over with her rendition of “You Light Up My Life”.
Patti Smith’s rendition of same gave me the weird ‘I hate to like this’ feeling I got listening to Richard Thompson’s version of “Oops! I did it again” as part of his pop hits of the last millenia concert.
Thanks guys, with a particular nod of the head to VS, Jen and DAS.

Damn OBS! Mad props on making the catch! Glad to know that there are other members of the loony tunes chorus afoot.
One of the reasons that I refuse to own a Motorcycle (though I am damn sure I would have a blast) is the fact that I know myself too well. The urge to test the limits of traction would be overpowering.
