If eating pistachio's, be sure to always look at the nut you just busted out of its shell BEFORE throwing it into your mouth. Little squirmy larva critters like pistachio's. I was lucky I didn't eat the little bastards, but I still avoided pistachio's for a good long while.

I get mine from wherever I find a shirt that I like. My fave shirt is my Sox hockey jersey, and I got that for my birthday, but it was bought at Sports Authority. But others have come from Wal-Mart, Kohls, Target, you name it. No place exclusive for me, I'm all about impulse.

I had a buddy named Zoran. Zoran was from what was once Yugoslavia. When Zoran lived in Yugoslavia he was one of the top Soccer players there. He packed up his bags and moved to the US to grind tools so that he could make some real money. According to him, he didn't get paid crap, but he did get to go to the front of the line at the passport check at the airport on his way over. He also got freebies and such, but the pay was not all that great.

It is some pretty funny stuff they do. This is a shame. So few bands just give their stuff away, and you got the idea they were doing it for free knowing full well all the legal troubles they would be in by selling it. Two bands you just don't mess with. And yet, even by giving it away, they get into trouble. Damn shame.

I had it with confectioner's sugar on top to boot, but I declined the chocolate sauce. Of course, I ordered a Diet Coke to go with it to keep my girlish figure... I have ya beat! I had a fried Twinkee on the same day as I tried some deep fried Oreo's!!! Those are some dang fine eats though! Sure, if you tried eating more than the one (O.K., I had three Oreo's though...and a corn dog), you would puke, but ya know...

Was just listening to an old obscure band called Granicus. VERY cool stuff. The album is from '73 and the vocalist makes Robert Plant sound like an untrained monkey.

O.K., this was posted on another site I read all the time: Soooooo, it looks like it is NOT "Only In..." now then is it???

Ooops, half page too late on my reply. Sorry. I'm bummed, I forgot my radio at home today!!!

AM1000 site tells you that they can't let you listen to it streaming, but you can pay over at mlb.com to listen to it. I was hoping that they would do freebies for the Spring Training games, but alas, I guess they need to make money somehow.

He does get the award for the WORST Serial Killer name EVER though. It sounds like a bad Rap name, or a rejected Buger King Sandwich.

I was dating a girl while I was in high school. She dumped me because I didn't party and because I moved to slow in the "romance department". I was bummed. The following week she was at a party doing the "romance" thing with her new guy. She puked in his mouth while making out. I was no longer bummed.

Just saw this part:

Nice to see Sven on these boards someplace!!! I grew up on the guy. BERWYN!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 10:26 AM) After my brain goes to mush I switch to re-reading I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. Any fans of Twilight Zone, and mysteries will love this book. GREAT book!!! Best "Vampire" story ever. I'm reading: Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine. Slow going on this one. I used to read 3 books a week, and then I fell off on reading. I really need to get back to it, but when I have free time, I usually grab the guitar.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) Good point. I was thinking more along the lines of Dylan-esque songs. Yes covers can be good. In somewhat of a Dylan style, I would take Nick Drake over Dylan ANYday of the week. Dylan is an icon, and needs respect, which is why I think this comment even made it into CNN. It's a rather "DUH" statement to be hearing from somebody of his stature, and it makes worlds more sense for him to say this than it did for Elton John to do a duet with Eminem, or friggin' Sinatra and his silly duet albums. If Dylan came out doing a duet with Fred Durst, I think all in the world would be lost. Great modern day lyricist: Tim Armstrong. Kalapse, calm down. Tim is very good and really hits the social side and the "street" side very well. "Journey To The End Of East Bay" is brilliant.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) Give me a bad singer singing their own material who has something to say; over a smooth singer with great voice, singing what someone else has to say. All depends on the mood. Somedays I want a band raging through 50 seconds blasts of fury along the lines of Zeke, and other days I want to hear Joe Pass doing a beautiful interpretation of an old Jazz number solo on his guitar, or Barney Kessel doing a version of Charlie Christian. All depends on the moods.

Dylan, eh, the guy never did much for me. Not sure why, I just never got into him. He has his material, I love the song "Isis", but I think he is a better writer, and to leave the recording to others who can interpret his stuff into something cooler. I'm odd like that, but I have always liked his material covered, and normally I HATE cover tunes. Cobain shouldn't even be mentioned in the same thread as Dylan. I LOVED Bleach when it came out, but everything after that was crap. He gets more praise than he is worthy of, but I guess I have less problem with his being considered a great lyricist than I do when he is actually called a great guitarist! THAT is just f**ked. I also think Dylans comment is too sweeping. I know of many bands that know exactly where they came from. I agree the top of the charts is full of BS, but I think he is being too sweeping with his slam. Last, it's not the voice that turns me off of Dylan, after all, I am a Nikki Sudden fan.

The Pope wrote a book??? Cool, is this like a sequel to the Bible???

They got great beer in Belgium, so all is cool with me. I can't boycott their products, as that would just be wrong.

Might be nerds, but in those pictures there is a lady dressed like Jessica Rabbit, and if my wife EVER wanted to dress up like that, I would be fine with that one!!!

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,3...2725327,00.html If one of Hunter S. Thompson's last wishes comes true, the body of the late maverick journalist will be cremated this week and his ashes blasted from a cannon across his ranch in Woody Creek. That will be the extent of Thompson's funeral, as outlined in his will, said George Tobia Jr., a Boston-based entertainment lawyer who has represented the author for the past 15 years. Tobia said his client and friend didn't leave a suicide note, only obscure directions he had issued to friends and family in recent days. "This was definitely not spur of the moment," said Tobia, who plans to fly to Colorado today. "He arranged to have things dealt with, and he wanted his family close by, but he didn't want anyone to know - he didn't want anyone to try to stop him." Tobia said he didn't know of anything specific that led to Thompson's suicide but noted the two had discussed it in the past. He did say that the decision had nothing to do with the re- election of George W. Bush or the current trend in national politics, which provided a certain grist for Thompson's mill. Nor did the writer have any significant financial problems. With his land, archives, royalties and other valuable, Tobia said, Thompson's estate is worth millions of dollars. The best explanation, perhaps, is that in recent months Thompson had chronic pain from back surgery and an artificial hip. That man friggin' RULED!!! Having his ashes blasted out of a canon across his property, with no funeral, how friggin' cool is that guy? Even in death, he remains Doctor Gonzo!
