*changes channel* Good job of pushing the ball right into the receiver's hands

Man, I still can't believe that, especially since it leaves Chicago as the only national teams

I don't really have an argument, I just wanted to bring up the subject of cow rape

Says the guy from the cow-raping state

ND does not go down (yet). Fuck.

Shit. That was still kinda funny that he COULD NOT. GO. ALL. THE. WAY.

Quick flip through the channels reveals Miami only up by 5 on Duke I like Miami, but I would let out a big 'haha' if they lost this (especially given the whole situation)

Somewhere, Randy Walker's ghost is yelling "WE SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE BALL GAME"

I hate both teams, but I need Nebraska to lose more to assist KSU (however little KSU does to help themselves) in the standings... hell, I'll even take Mizzou out of the North over the Red

Haha, turned it right back over on the first play

I wonder when the last time UT played in snow anyway, since they're typically stuck in the south for most of the late season, the Big XII title game last year was in Houston (instead of KC, as usual) and they usually wind up in warm weather bowls

Snow's really falling in Lincoln now.

Nebraska with a really nice flea flicker to grab the lead on UT Not unlike the one they used to beat OU back in '01... ironically the last time they beat a top 10 team

Oh hell no The Great Lakes States are neither mid nor west

Bordered by the Mississippi, the Rockies, and the Missouri Compromise Line

I'm gonna have to break out that line should I ever be prematurely eulogized

For shits and giggles, I went to the wikipedia entry on Delaware and was greeted by this: The wonders of wiki

One can't ignore the importance of the Dover ratings

NMB, Vai and Bozzio were the only Zappa alums. Everyone else was a fairly young (except the other guitarist and maybe the drummer), with the male pianist and bassist looking to be between our ages. Hold on, lemme find a pic of the band edit: While most of it might be obvious, I'll run through anyway Back row: NMB, Dweez, pianist/alto sax/high vox, drummer Front: Mallet percussion (also does a good Don Pardo), other guitarist, bassist, pianist/trumpet

Get her fired

YES SIR Got to the concert hall right at 7PM, sat down and waited for the show to begin at 8. The whole hour, they were piping in some new age Asianish chant music that was intriguing for about two minutes and then progressively annoying after that. During this time, Terry Bozzio's 1001 piece drum set garnered a large amount of attention from incoming attendees who flocked the stage front to take pictures of that and only that. 8PM, band takes the stage and opens with "Andy". The first hour or so was almost entirely Roxy-era songs with some MOI mixed in. Second hour they bring out Terry Bozzio and do some Sheik Yerbouti/ZINY songs. Exit Bozzio and in comes Vai, who was just fucking amazing to watch. Lots of solo-offs between he and Dweez. First hour lineup does some more songs, leaves, then everyone comes back for the encore ("Trouble Every Day" with solos galore). The band was very energetic for their performance. NMB definitely seemed to be enjoying himself, as did Vai. Their charm even today shows one of many reasons why Zappa utilized them in the first place. Downside is that a lot of the humor among most of the band seemed forced, especially when they simply mimicked old bits without adding any real flair to them. Dweez himself was very guilty of this. I know he has a sense of humor, but it's quite different from his dad's, and mimicing his dad's routines only does them injustice. Non-band moments of the night included a possibly drugged-out woman hanging right on the front of the stage, swaying to and fro with "The Torture Never Stops", and possibly making funny faces at the band. I'm only guessing on the latter, but whatever she did caused NMB to break out in laughter in the middle of the song. Not long after that, right in time for the screams in the song, he held up the mic to her and she let out one hell of a scream. NMB apparently enjoyed it so much he let her do it a second time. Another moment was a guy going right up to the stage after the curtain call and getting Dweez to sign his album cover of Havin' a Bad Day Songlist as far as I can remember: Andy Call Any Vegetable Who Are the Brain Police? Tell Me You Love Me Peaches en Regalia Pound for a Brown (with "Everyone Gets a Solo" intermission) Montana (with occasional substitutions of "Kansas City" for "Montana") The Complete Nanook Saga Pygmy Twylyte Village of the Sun + Echnidna's Arf (Of You) + Don't You Ever Wash That Thing? Cheepnis Inca Roads Can't Afford No Shoes The Idiot Bastard Son I'm So Cute Tryin' To Grow A Chin Punky's Whips I'm the Slime Black Page Drum Solo Black Page #2 Advance Romance Zomby Woof Black Napkins The Torture Never Stops Big Swifty Trouble Every Day (w/ solos galore) I looked through the discography to try and remember all the songs, but I'm probably still missing some. Also there were a couple of instrumentals mixed in that I didn't recognize at all. Slight disappointment in the absence of anything from JG (Catholic Girls, Keep it Greasy and Watermelon were all hopeful songs of mine) as well as any 80's songs, not to mention other good songs from the time period that they concentrated on (Let's Make Harry Orange Medley, King Kong, City of Tiny Lites, Cosmik Debris and Zoot Allures are all songs I would like to have seen). Also, they didn't show any footage of Frank, which I'd seen they've done at some other ZPZ shows.
