Beer - Making People Do Stupid Things since 1878!
Yeah, the word "idiot" may be harsh, but when someone attacks editors or writers from the Reader, instead of just asking questions, that's the response you'll get from me. The word "alcoholic" was used, and fit perfectly for my point. I didn't feel the need to clarify. What I stand by is....if any idiot gets so drunk that they drunk dial, or send nasty emails, because they can't control themselves, they are "alcoholic", by my definition.— October 15, 2008 7:34 p.m.
When the Wheels Came Off
This was an interesting blurt. Just to note, since I once did a story on sound engineers at concert venues, holding a drum and hitting it next to your ear, is actually around 125 dBs. The sound of 90 dBs is actually like hearing a train whistler from 200 feet away. Anything above 95 dBs, after continued exposure, can damage your ears.— October 15, 2008 7:30 p.m.
Beer - Making People Do Stupid Things since 1878!
Idiot...I'm talking about "functioning" alcoholics. It's not always like in the movies, where Nicolas Cage is an alcoholic, that drinks every second of the day.— October 15, 2008 12:26 p.m.
Obama Hung From Tree
Really? I think just the opposite. I think people that call themselves "atheists," when death is facing them, probably say a few prayers, "just in case". Or, because it seems comforting to do so.— October 15, 2008 1:49 a.m.
Choke and a Bluecoat Shot
Dang...I think I just lost that debate. I still hate cats, though. And dogs rule. I'll end with songwriter Stew (check out the movie Spike Lee will be doing on his play), who in the song SINGLE WOMAN SITTING, says: A single woman sitting in a very nice one room flat paintings, photos some mementos. A bookshelf and A CAT. I especially like the shoes that sit by her red chair i'm sitting there and this wine is wonderful. A giant spotlight slightly tilts while music gently lilts out of her kitchen tape recorder a ah..... single woman sitting in a room with an orange floor. paintings, photos more mementos a French sign on the door. it says she wants to be alone and since she has no phone my visit's unpaid like the phone is. A giant CAT sleeps on the bed he pissed once on my head what was he fed? I THINK CATS ARE STUPID. oh not now, lord above oh not now, i'm in love now i'm in love now i'm in love now i'm in love love love. now i'm in love now i'm in love now i'm in love love love ah single woman sitting in a very very mature space. sparsely decorated reeking of good taste. she will slap me in the face if i don't say "nice place dear" "work of art dear" "did you do it all yourself?" coffee cups in the sink letterbox LITTERBOX slip and braissire i guess it's clear, that a woman lives here a ha..... oh not now lord above oh not now i'm in love now i'm in love now i'm in love now i'm in love love love— October 15, 2008 1:48 a.m.
Moped Mishap Costs NBA Star Millions
Yeah, I know all about the New Orleans Jazz. Well, not all about them. Only that they had Pistol Pete Maravich, one of my all-time favorite players to watch (I wasn't old enough to watch him play...other than in video clips, which were amazing). Interesting to know their win came against the Clippers. Donald Sterling, I still curse you!!!!!!!— October 15, 2008 1:41 a.m.
The Lowe Down (Nick Lowe concert review)
Geez...I just remembered, our morning DJ once played "Spiders and Snakes" on Halloween. It so didn't fit our format. I mean, if we're classic rock, there are lots of Jims you play (morrison, hendrix, etc), but not him! If you wanna go spiders, there's always good ol' Boris the Spider, by The Who.— October 14, 2008 2:21 a.m.
The Lowe Down (Nick Lowe concert review)
Come on, Russ. Don't leave us hangin'. Name some songs. There's Devil Went Down to Georgia. Oh..probably a few DEVIL songs, huh? Devil in a Blue Dress... I Put a Spell on You (I'll take the original, with Screamin' Jay Hawkins over CCR). Highway to Hell. Hell by the Squirrel Nut Zippers. I miss those guys. Bat out of Hell, by...Mmmmmm, Meatloaf. Dead Man's Party, by Oingo Boingo. Yeah, I guess you're right, Russ. It's after 2:00 a.m. and I'm sure I could probably think of pages more.— October 14, 2008 2:12 a.m.
Choke and a Bluecoat Shot
I won't watch any cat videos. I'm not a lonely 60 year old woman. The reasons cats are crappy pets: You can't take them for walks. You have to let them outdoors. Which means, your neighbors have to deal with cat crap, them mating outside the windows, sounding like banshees from Hell. The area you keep your cat box smells nasty. And, probably most of your house does, too. Too many people are allergic to them. You can't throw a frisbee or play catch with them. Really...about the only thing you can do, is drop them upside down from high distances, and watch as they turn themselves back around and land on all fours.— October 13, 2008 11:40 p.m.
The Girl You Want
I corrected the typo on Oreo. But, yeah, my point wasn't that you wouldn't care if you lost a 3 week old. It's just that there's a difference.— October 13, 2008 11:37 p.m.
