  1. did anyone see them on letterman last night?
  2. hmm... I just thought the photo was funny because of the guy with his hand down his pants. you sick perverts.
  3. now that's just not fair. I've also brought up Iran, hot chicks on the new Amazing Race, and the Pope hating muslims. and those are not in order of importance necessarily. (or necessarily on this thread).
  4. Lesbian trying to reconcile with daddy: "Kandice is wild and impulsive, while Dustin is religious and more conservative": SC Cheerleaders:
  5. I loved his bit about "ethnics," especially his comment about his Jewish friend (photo with Stewart).
  6. still my favorite photo from the Katrina coverage:
  7. Dear Caliber, Should I take up heroin? Sincerely, N
  8. My wife loves this show. I can take it or leave it based on the cast, I mean competitors. Usually some interesting footage of places near and far, though. Having just read the update on ditzy blondes, however, count me in.
  9. will there be any little people this year?
  10. Yeah, I've been hearing that a lot lately. Maybe it's time for a long hard look in the mirror. Or maybe I should just ask Caliber?
  11. Is that why you haven't responded to my "proposal"?
  12. Exactly!! It's amazing to me that so many modern listeners to Dylan's music seem to think this is an issue. Part of the "folk tradition" is the retelling of stories and the singing and re-working of old standards in one's own style is it not? I would think Dylan would be the last artist in the world to scream "infringement" if someone paid tribute to him by infusing a few of his great lines... the bottom line is that the album works. The first Dylan album in years, for me, that I haven't been able to stop listening to, and which I enjoy more upon every take. (the way he sings "orphana
  13. well with Willie Nelson as his new energy czar, there are going to be some fun cabinet meetings then...
  14. now what are they going to do about the requirement that he be dead?
  15. Sometime in the middle of the night last night I woke up to find my bladder advising me to take a quick, still half-asleep trip to the bathroom. Decided to grab the blackberry and see what kind of middle-of-the-night discussion might be going on in here... I won't be doing that again. Woke up this morning thinking I needed to try heroin.
  16. this may sound silly but it's true--a really good friend of mine who smoked 2 packs a day for years quit for good through accupuncture. I know that at one point he had some kind of pins in his ears. Anyone else heard of this being successful?
  17. from the allmusic.com review: "Dylan's singing style in these songs comes from the great blues and jazzman Lonnie Johnson (whose version of the Grosz and Coslow standard "Tomorrow Night" he's been playing for years in his live set). If you need further proof, look to Johnson's last recordings done in the late '50s and early '60s ("I Found a Dream" and "I'll Get Along Somehow"), or go all the way back to the early years for "Secret Emotions," and "In Love Again," cut in 1940. It is in these songs where you will find the heart of Dylan's sweet song ambition and also that unique phrasing that m
  18. Preaching to the choir. But I do like to spend time with the wife, hence watching the show. I haven't watched Survivor in many years, but I got into a pretty in-depth conversation the other night with the aid of some beverages on the topic of this new season, and I blurted out at one point that CBS really had some balls to put this race-division thing on the air. This is certainly going to stir up a shit storm at some point. My wife remembers this comment and therefore has credible evidence to support having me watch the show to back up my statement. Even tonight's episode--the african-a
  19. my wife just turned to me while we were watching survivor: who's the superior race? and--upon seeing that I was staring at the setlist I just printed out of the wilco show I downloaded this afternoon--said to me: "We need to find a wilco anonymous." so what did I do as soon as the show was over? get on this board. Maybe she has a point.
