Even those who admire Von Dutch don’t call him a nice guy. No, they use words like bitter and racist and violent. They describe someone who was jaded young and spent much of his life hiding from the world. His name was a reflection of that, the very symbol of his obstinacy, anger and distrust of the world. So is it ironic or just cruel that his name wound up co-opted by what Mencken called the booboisie, stitched onto hats and baby doll T-shirts worn by an army of pretty girls like Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani and Ashton Kutcher? Is Von Dutch doomed, as one admirer put it, "to be forever remembered for his name in 4-inch letters on someone’s ass"? He was Von Dutch, uh-huh, that guy, that name. He was one of hot rodding’s wise men, up there on a stinky, toxic lacquer cloud with painter George Barris, the late customizer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and artist and hot rodder Robert Williams. Starting in the 1950s, Von Dutch reinvented automotive pinstriping, turning each paint job into a painting, doing way-out takes on woodland creatures and scenes of the day—then making up stories to explain them. He was a superb craftsman who made his own knives, guns and motorized roller skates. He’s most famous for two images that, while perhaps not wholly original, have sent art aficionados and marketing whizzes to the auction blocks. One is the stylized version of the nickname he adopted for himself, Von Dutch. Some say it bears an interesting resemblance to the Norton motorcycle logo, but virtually everyone agrees on its significance. The other is the flying eyeball, Von Dutch once said originated, sans wings, with the Macedonian and Egyptian cultures 5,000 years ago. Don't stop here, read about Carson, Britney, and more

supstitute from the BEGOOD dictionary What happens when your favorite diner is out of your supper. "I was going to have the liver pie but they had to supstitute woodchuck"

That same argument would also open up bigomy. This is, for many politicians, a financial matter. Businesses would have spend money on benefits that they do not already have to spend. Opposition isn't just from organized religion,

Shall we make a roll call of those who aren't ordained and place everyone else there? Hitler, Dahlmer, Speck,

but would you stop going to school, all doctors, etc.? To say "I'm not going to Church because there are pedaphile Priests and Ministers" is a cop out. They are human just like teachers and plumbers.

ahem, It's your turn in the barrel. Only an idiot wouldn't know that

I guess first time offenders of the Texas Decency Laws are only sentenced to one week AMF, have a nice trip.

I've heard he was a very good baseball Scout

We keep saying the Church, which is, by definition, everyone including the parishioners. We do not condem all cops because some are corrupt and hinder prosecuting their buddies? So all police departments are hypocrits? There have been pedaphiles in other Churches, yet only the Catholic's get the black eye? What are some of the other hypocrasies?

Did Britney and Jason file a joint Federal Tax return?

There have been pedaphile cops, firemen, coaches, school teachers, etc. People who have been in positions of influence and responsibility. Let us not condem an entire Church because of the actions of a few members. Do you think police forces and schools did not try and minimize the publicity? Do you not think that the parents of some victims also wanted the privacy? If you truly believe that not attending Church because of the pedaphiles; you would also not be on line because of the pedaphiles or visit a Doctor, or watch a movie, etc.

fat people? Show me that one.

Usually greatest hits and anthologies and almost all Live albums are record company creations, not the bands. I can't blame a band for the record companies greed. Plus, I'll admit, sometimes the greatest hits albums are better bargains.

I imagine very few of the ladies do . . . The tax codes do not make a determination if the marriage is loving or not. Just legally recognized. Doesn't even have to be a religious ceremony. That is where I see the issue. If we allow other civil ceremonies full status with all rights, etc. it seems difficult to debate on religious grounds.

damn, you searched the sex offender roles She's the clerk at the local Boy Scout shop and I already spend too much time talking with her. I do not need to start any rumours.

LMAO

I do not see too much bunching from the guys in panties, it's the guys in tighty whities that seem to be bothered . . .

But Bryan Adams still sucks. Don Henley ~~ he's great. I do not consider anything the Eagles have done with together of as soloists as a guilty pleasure.

I just didn't want to come across as some old pathetic guy hitting on a much younger and beautiful woman.

it's a local call from Texas . . .

Yeah, kind of like the Beatles selling out with Sgt. Peppers Is it possible for an indie band to record what people would regard as the greatest rock and roll album of all time and still stay indie?

they play in the same division with the Sox

What seemed weird is a much older guy sending flowers.
