"period" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I agree. Nothing worse than a "comedienne."

I also grew up on that lineup. The Dick Van Dyke Show was quality

Well, with Wish You Were Here, Dark Side Of The Moon, and Meddle, I'd wager.

That Jannetty match was really good!

Yes. She is hot.

So can Congress pretty much get baseball to do whatever they want it to do by way of dangling the antitrust exemption over their heads?

Sarah Silverman, and I'm starting to wonder about KKK as well.

So far, Jim Bunning, parents, and doctors have testified, and it looks like Selig and MLB are getting sufficiently owned. The discovery of loophole of the confidential fine (which can be up to $10,000 but even just $1) rather than public suspension has upset everyone quite a bit, it seems. Also, the prohibition of HGH with no way to test for it has riled people up. I fell asleep for part of it though sorry

You just proved my point for me!

The Chicago Wolves are better than the Blackhawks. How bad can replacements really be?

Okay. I cannot fucking find Uncle Meat ANYWHERE and it's killing me. No store in DeKalb has it. I'm gonna try Woodfield and Hawthorne this weekend and see what I can find. I just picked up You Are What You Is and Frank Zappa Meets The Mothers Of Prevention last weekend in Glen Ellyn, so I'm feeling lucky. But I can't help you with this one. Over-Nite Sensation sounds a lot like Apostrophe ('), but the lyrics start to veer more into the vulgar territory. "I'm The Slime" is worth the price alone, a good funk-rock piece with Motown-esque backup vocals, and "Dinah-Moe Humm" has some cool stuf going on as well. But it's really a lot like I]Apostrophe ('),[/i] in that it's straightforward rock with suggestive lyrics. Zoot Allures is pretty straightforward rock with some good guitar soloing on "The Torture Never Stops," and I think this is the debut of Terry Bozzio on drums. But the album, to me, isn't distinct enough to really be all that essential. More dirty lyrics about sex toys and such, and some nice satire of the 70s disco culture in "Disco Boy," but even then, "Dancin' Fool" is better. It's worth getting by all means if you like the late 70s guitar hero/wacky gross-out style of Zappa, but get Sheik Yerbouti and You Are What You Is first: they're longer, and better. Sheik Yerbouti was my first Zappa album, and it's the best of the 70s albums. It's mostly live concert material from New York, London, and elsewhere, but with significant overdubs, and a lot of the crowd noise out of the mix, so as to capture studio clarity with on-stage energy. Bozzio, O'Hearn, and Belew all get some vocals in besides FZ, and I think Bozzio does the best job of them. In terms of songs, you've got some great guitar solos in "The Sheik Yerbouti Tango," "Yo Mama," and "Rat Tomago," union-bashing with "Flakes," and other such material that satirizes the disco culture. Think of it as We're Only In It For The Money for the 1970s.

I feel like I've outgrown The Wall. I wasn't satisfied with Apostrophe ('), personally. If I had a favorite, and it's so hard to pick, I'd have to say Hot Rats. But God I can't pick. All I know is I don't care for Lumpy Gravy. I am also available for consultation about Frank Zappa stuff if AoO is busy.

And they kick their legs up to the left, then to the right the next time. That's obnoxious. You're not punk rock.

Don't lie. You didn't buy them. You stole them from the Disneyland lost and found. Actually, I have an aunt in Anaheim who used to send me stuff from the Disneyland lost and found as birthday presents until I was 15. Sophomore in high school and I get a plastic backpack with Mickey Mouse that says "THIS BELONGS TO: Tina Vasquez on it. She just had no concept of age. Or taste.

Jonathon Taylor Thomas designs? Because those would make you very attractive to middle schoolers if you took a time machine back to 1995.

I think he was on the wrestling team with me for a while before he quit.

What's the deal with Staten Island? Is there anything there? I can't imagine they're too arrogant, since they're from the Forgotten Borough.

In 7th grade, I thought it would be cool to get the eyeglasses with the little flip-down shades that turn them into sunglasses. Then I realized that was decidedly not cool.

I don't buy that for a minute.

It's Wal-Mart, X. Do you honestly think they give a shit if someone's on drugs? The only reason they test is because the feds make them do it. Half the people I work with are potheads or worse. Take off the Rose-Colored glasses, X. In all fairness Kotz probably owns more tinted eyewear than VX. I'll admit I have blue-colored glasses that I bought about four years ago because I needed to do a Bono impersonation for English class or something.

Edited for accuracy. Stop doing "edited for accuracy." Aw hell I'll just be part of the problem rather than the solution

Agreed. How about fixing that little labour stoppage thingie before changing the ice colour? Malibu Stacy has a new hat

I know the son of the guy that created Dungeons and Dragons

This would be hilarious if he wasn't being paid to endorse DiGiornio's and just did it anyway.
