King Kamala

I like the sounds of that. I'll gladly chip in $5 to help your efforts, sir.

Yo Maz- you want to take the late EHME's spot in The King Kamala Krew? We need one oppressed minority to replace another, yo!

I know, I drank about a quarter of the bottle before I stopped out of embarrassment.

Well hopefully, I'll get an invite to join the super secret board for jerks by then...

My low point thus far in my short drinking career has been drinking mouth wash out of laziness/boredom.

Not to mention the fact that I need to recruit a new member to the KKK now that EHME is gone!

Oh well---I guess the world will never get to see me drunkenly lay the verbal smackdown on EHME! Also- welcome back Czech!

Heh- I've quit drinking for the time being but if he's still around in three months, he better watch out!

I give it three hours till he's back...

I wish it was still acceptable to use the Picard facepalm picture right now.

Hey---I'm unemployed and bored as hell on weekdays as well but that's no excuse for playing internet tough guy.

Now I don't know if my memory's off and I'm too lazy to search for the thread but Agent, didn't you promise to ban EHME if he reneged on his promise to tone down the stupid "fite me u faggot" schtick? You know as bad as said schtick, I can't help but feel like he's kind of like the black guy on The Real World. Just driven to snap by all of the crazy white people around him. That might just be my white guilt talking though...

This was back when Brody was funny, too. I don't think Brody has gotten any more or less funny since then. My tolerance for his posting style just wildly fluctuates- sometimes from day to day. A week ago- I thought he was terrible, six months ago, I thought he was a genius...now I'm just kind of apathetic.

Well, if Hogan was trying to sabotage him, he did a really poor job. bam bam was crazy over. His knees sabotaged his run in the WWF. He needed double knee surgery and it stopped all his momentum. Why do Hogan, Nash, and HBK have to be the reason for EVERYONE's career malfunction? It's a cliche at this point. I'll agree with you there, Mos_Def. Bam Bam was arguably the #3 babyface behind Hogan and Savage in late '87/early '88 and on his way up when he blew out his knees. While it's easy to blame the Clique on the derailment of his second WWF run, I'd blame it just as much on piss poor booking post WrestleMania XI. It was a terrible terrible move to turn him face. I know many of you will probably disagree with me but they had a tremendous opportunity to turn him into a monster heel to contend for the World title. The loss to LT could have upset him so much that it unleashed a relentless, vicious mean streak in him. Dude's just a natural heel and he didn't have the mobility he had in '88 to wow the fans. Just a boneheaded move on Vince's part.

Water under the bridge, Brody. I was half joking anyways. I got no beef. Cheech, I'd highly advise checking out the Sunflower/Surf's Up two for one package if you haven't already. The former album is their best album behind Pet Sounds and probably their best group effort. The latter is quite spotty but has three or four tracks that I'd consider among the band's best. It's also one of those paranoid, somewhat nihlistic, drug fueled albums that you seem to dig. They're quite a bit different from the sounds.

Point taken. I'm surprised though that we've witnessed Byron The Bulb sort of, kind of defend goldengreek. One of TSM's intellectual elite backin' up perhaps the board's biggest dope.

So, in the hip hop community, speaking out against homophobia=gay?

Hate to say it but as good as I think this album is, I don't think it'll win many converts. While it is stripped of a lot of the somewhat overproduced tacky schmaltz that would plague most of his Wings material, I think this album displays the laid back,devil may care attitude that a lot of people really dislike about his solo material.

...actually yes...twice. In fairness, both times I was under the age of 8 but still it's scarred me for life and launched a lifelong hatred.

I promised Cheech, I would revive this thread as a favor to him bumping my Demolition thread in General Wrestling so here it is. Doubt there's much interest in solo Paul McCartney but here we go... Paul McCartney- McCartney In the Fall of '69 with The Beatles falling apart, McCartney headed to his home with his new family to his home in London and brought along with him his instruments and a four track recorder. He began to record songs, improvising them as he went along and overdubbing himself in the process. The album was targeted to be released mere weeks before what would be The Beatles' final studio album Let It Be A week before the release of his solo debut, McCartney announced his departure from The Beatles and it was far from amicable. Naturally, this propelled the record to the top of the charts on both sides of The Atlantic. Initially, the record received mixed reviews from critics. Detractors derided the album for being too slight, especially in the wake of McCartney's more ambitious recent work but it has grown to be one of McCartney's better regarded solo albums. Side One "The Lovely Linda" "That Would Be Something" "Valentine Day" "Every Night" "Hot As Sun/Glasses" "Junk" "Man We Was Lonely" I think what strikes most listeners about this album is its simplicity. I don't think you could get any more different from Plastic-Ono Band than this album. I can see why critics were somewhat letdown by this album's minimalist, intimate feel after the second side of Abbey Road. This, however, is at the point where McCartney's whimsy was more cute than cloying. Every track on this side is relatively short so even the less memorable tracks don't really overstay their welcome. "Junk" (a rerecorded White Album reject) and "Every Night" are high up there in the list of great solo McCartney songs. Side Two "Oo You" "Momma Miss America" "Teddy Boy" "Singalong Junk" "Maybe I'm Amazed" "Kreen-Akore" Generally speaking, the instrumentals are kind of the low point on the album. Not actively bad or anything just kind of forgettable. "Momma Miss America" is an exception. "Teddy Boy" (another White Album reject) is a nice, little ramshackle slice of life song. Certainly better than some songs that made that particular album. "Maybe I'm Amazed" is the only hit on the album and the only one that really displays the typical bombastic McCartney sound. "Kreen-Akore" kind of ends the album on a flat note. Another generally forgettable instrumental with a weird Hawaiian feel to it. Other notes I may be the only one but I'd say McCartney's first two albums are in the same league as Lennon's much more talked about first two solo albums. Also unlike a lot of people, I'm also a fan of this album's "sequel" McCartney II. Got to dig that synthesizer. Although it's nothing I can listen to more than once a month or so.

You know she should. She is really, really terrible but I don't think she posts enough to qualify for a worst prize. That and I'm not sure how much of my hatred is due to her shitty posting and how much is due to my virulent hatred of fat chicks.

"When did bob_barron go downhill for you?" IMHO, it was probably when he was named ombudsman. He didn't need a title to justify his constant whining.

I have a feeling I might get nominated this year for my occasional, annoying drunken antics but I don't think I'll make it past the first round.

For what it's worth, I read an interview with Tommy Lee a few years back and they asked him about working on a Nick Carter solo album and Tommy said that Nick could outparty Slash. Oh and I think me and Sensei John Kreese are the only ones that care about this but Ruckus, the free, legal subscription music service for college students, is no more. While the selection was spotty at best, I'm going to miss it. The fact that it ended without warning seems kind of fishy.

Yeah, still...not a lot of breadth there. Another thing that works against Cabbageboy is that he seems kind of blissfully ignorant of the fact that we all don't like him. Responding to shit talking generally helps you in the Worst Poster tournament. The tournament seems wide open this year. There really isn't a clear cut winner. MVP is gone, EHME has toned down his act somewhat, I don't see Marvin taking it two years in a row (and he seems to have toned down his act a bit)...Everybody else seems to have a share of defenders, even Brody. I think a dark horse could very well take it this year.
