  1. Here's a preview of today's coverage of the caravan from "Fox and Friends", purporting to be actual video from the inside of the teeming mass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMsf-ruD80M Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  2. Some profanity, of course, but don't forget about Green Day: - "American Idiot", almost a rock opera (and it was produced as a musical) - "21st Century Breakdown", also a good collection of songs that semi-cohere. Good to see this list, I'm going to download some of these tonight. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  3. And my favorite quote from the man, from a Rolling Stone article when he was going through his 6th divorce: "Ya know, I'm starting to think it's me!"
  4. Three Catholic school girls head down to confession one Saturday morning. The first one enters the confessional, and tells the priest, "I've sinned, Father. Last night on our date, I let my boyfriend touch my breasts." The priest replies, "That's a terrible sin for a girl your age! I want you to say five Hail Marys, and bathe your breasts in holy water!" She heads to the holy water fount as the second girl enters, and tells the priest, "I've sinned, Father. Last night on our date, I let my boyfriend touch me between my legs." The priest exclaims, "That's awful, a terrible sin! I want you to say 10 Hail Marys, and bath your, um, you know, in holy water!" The first two girls are waiting at the holy water fount when the third girl walks up and says, "Give me some room girls, I have to gargle."

  5. Well, I gave him a tie to wear to court that kept him out of jail, but I got nothin' for this one. Heal fast, you crazy fucker. Two quotes that pretty much sum the man up (thanks to Hunter S Thompson for the first one, courtesy of Brad North; the second one comes from a pic in Jester's FB feed): "A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die." "Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean it won't be a good time." Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  6. Currently reading "Dance of the Reptiles" by Hiaasen, a collection of his Miami Herald articles...funny AND will piss you off at the same time. Anything by James Lee Burke, great mystery/crime writer. Any of his Dave Robicheaux books are worth a read. Christopher Moore, very funny and prolific guy. "Fluke" is a personal favorite. Nate Silver's "The Signal and the Noise", if you want to know why every financial and political pundit in any media is basically full of shit.
  7. Identity Thief. I love Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy, but that was one of the most unpleasant, truly shitty movies I've ever watched. It sucked HARD! Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

    Golf Jokes

    Courtesy of Carl Hiaasen: Any time a lobbyist and a Congressman play golf, they should round out the foursome with two FBI agents. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  9. I always liked Enuff Z'Nuff, sort of a heavy metal Beatles. "Strength" was probably their strongest album. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  10. "The Princess Bride" - a total classic...if you don't like this movie, you don't have any feelings.
  11. I pretty much feel that way every time I listen to Jeff Beck, so I just won't go there. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  12. Three of the best players on the planet, just having a blast. John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucia, and Al Dimeola, "Mediterranean Sundance." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cadbYIzhqQ Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  13. Hmm...130 posts in this thread, with roughly 124 of them from men, and 6 from women, arguing over whether churches should be required to provide birth control...to women. Is this Speakers Corner or a Senate subcommittee? Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
  14. OK, went out and bought the album. Frankly, I love it, sounds like old VH with an updated sound (the bass WAY higher in the mix, and a hotter mix than their old stuff), and I didn't realize how much I missed witty lyrics in rock songs, this is a pretty good set after all these years. Then I watched the video. All my previous comments apply...I can listen to David Lee Roth, but watching him is painful. Think I'll listen to the record and skip the concert.
  15. As for the M&M thing, I read an interview with Eddie a few years ago that when they were starting out, the promoters would consistently fail to provide the agreed-upon sound and light support, so they put that clause in their rider just to "make sure they actually read the goddamn thing". As for the new album...I'll probably buy it, but by the end of DLR's time in the band, I couldn't stand them in concert anymore thanks to his asshole attitude on stage. By the time I heard the "I'm gonna f&$k your girlfriend after the show" shtick for the thirtieth time, it started to get old. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash
