YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! Electronic: Jazz From Hell Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention half of The Perfect Stranger Jazz: Hot Rats Waka/Jawaka The Grand Wazoo Sleep Dirt Broadway the Hard Way Make a Jazz Noise Here Classical: the other half of The Perfect Stranger The Yellow Shark and how could I forget Uncle Meat, whatever the fuck that is? as for WOITFTM: It's not really a joke to me. I think you need to understand late-1960s America, specifically the hippie counterculture. Basically what the album is saying is a simultaneous "fuck you" to both the establishment and the counterculture, both of which Zappa feels are equally shallow and full of shit.

Well, ours messed up the spelling of the word NEWS one night. I'm still not sure how they managed to do it but they did it. Someone HAD to lose their job for missing that. What? You're kidding. Which market are you in? Philadelphia?

Since it's a damp, dark, gloomy day today, I'm in the mood to finally gonna give the rest of Loveless a shot. "Sometimes" is really good; "I Only Said" makes its point but never gets out of the way (see also: "How Soon Is Now?")

Whiter than white.

That didn't read like Ben Stein, but okay. Has its points, has its faults. Lot of jingoistic blather in there--"the oil companies try their best" was a real groaner--but a lot of the stuff on Hollywood is spot-on. No. When did he say that? He's certainly not a typical actor, though. He's a lawyer, economist, speechwriter, so on, who managed a few roles here and there. He's not really part of the crowd.

Lazy Sunday has already worn thin with me.

In 5th grade, me and four or five other guys would have wrestling matches in some far obscured corner of the playground where monitors couldn't see us. Anyway, this went on for a good month or so and surprisingly, nobody got hurt. Being the "smart kid" in the group, I had to accept a secondary role to gain their acceptance, which in retrospect, doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense, but whatever, I wasn't even 10 yet. So one kid was on a nearby swingset doing commentary as I had to job to the "leader" of our group. So he starts trying to suck up by laughing at me for losing, so I got mad, and as he was coming up on the swing, I decided to, as the those in the business say, "shoot" on him, by throwing up my leg in an aesthetically sloppy yet effective Sweet Chin Music, which didn't knock out any teeth or break a jaw, but rather just pushed him backward off the swing a good several feet where he landed on his ass, got up, and started swinging at me, which turned out just as badly for him as the swing did, because at that point my fight-or-flight kicked in and I really defended myself. By then we all got caught, that was the end of that, but I did manage to break the glass ceiling and gain the respect of kids that would go on to not get through high school

Leena masturbated to this post.

Oh man, if they were Africans and not Turks, we'd never hear the end of it

Because he's different! He's not like those OTHER rappers! We can forget about the gangsta stuff, and just respect him for his music, like "I know the government administered AIDS" or "Ronald Reagan cooked up the answer"

They must've realized that, liked it, and run with it, because I can't keep keep the NFL rosters straight from year to year. I doubt many casual observers of the league can either. Running backs are short-lived, offensive linemen are interchangable, basically if you can remember your quarterback and your Cocky Young Black Guys, you're in good shape, I suppose. Baseball fell after the strike, but if you can't see that it's really on the rise, you're just another Parity Drone worshipping at the Church Of The Salary Cap.

YOU DUMB DICK. IT'S CLEARLY BEEN SAID THEY WERE. Schedule III drug, illegal without a valid prescription, and it's BEEN that way since he's been on them. Baseball isn't a sovereign state. If something is illegal in the United States, it's going to be just as illegal in the Giants' ballpark.

Yeah, there's the real robbery. I never put ice in my drinks from a soda fountain. It's already plenty cold as it is, isn't it?

On the contrary, I can't get into Sonic Youth at all for whatever reason.

I wasted my best writing in the folder, going ballistic on Rando for that music column that said the Eagles were really good.

I'd say football was #2 until the AFL merger in '70 but that's me

Try harder. Catchy isn't always a good thing.

Like that role has never been filled before? Kansas City A's? wasn't really a baseball problem so much as a Jeff Loria problem. It's always gonna happen, and it comes down to management. Montreal's was horrible then, just like Florida's is now. Except it's been proven that the system is fine, but okay.

First of all, stop hurting English. Second of all, it isn't like caffeine pills. Anabolic steroids are schedule III, so they're illegal to possess and use without a prescription. If it's against the law, and it can be proven that Bonds illegally obtained his roids during his tenure in the majors, I don't see why baseball can't give him an asterisk, at least from '98 on.

I like lettuce and cabbage. I haven't had sauerkraut in years

Hot stuff. Can't get enough.

With The Real W.C.W. garnering votes, now's as good a time as any to ask: why were we so mean to Micah? He was actually a pretty nice guy, and not as bad as people made him seem. We've been giving free passes to people who have been much more awful.

He had that "Angels" song here back in like '98 or '99, I think.

Too favorable to Fall Out Boy. F--.

What happens in the back room, stays in the back room, kkk.
