Nothing wrong with KIsS. My boy's a big fand and that has turned him on to other hard rock acts. It's a helluva lot better than the Disney schlock his sister likes. But, damn, have you heard Answering Machine?

That Don Draper is one smart motherfucker.

Acceptance is the first step to recovery.

Wikipedia says you're right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Velvet_Underground

Thank you. Westerberg is a helluva songwriter. I'm too much of a chickenshit to have ever seriously considered ending it all a sateen, but Westerberg told me you're not alone and life can still be fun. I was hoping they'd go in w/ KISS if only to imagine them all doing Black Diamond.

Generic canned tomato soup + chorizo + sriracha = delicious.

I like about 90% of what my principal does. There are things he does that aggravate me, but I take it in stride because I have learned that the grass isn't always greener. I've never truly despised any boss.

I think when most people use humor in this thread, and on the board in general, it's usually to lighten the mood or to try to point out thinking or ideas they think is flawed through satire. While it admittedly takes a personal tone from time to time, I think it's a waste of one's energy to get upset about what nearly anonymous people say about you. Also, as Don Draper pointed out, you're on pretty shaky ground with your claim of getting out once it gets negative.

I would like to hear live versions of HMD w/o the drum machine intro and A Shot in the Arm w/o the synth noise intro.

A 22 year old kid would, in most cases, live in an apartment and buy a used car. He got a new house and car. Jobs.

Not only are the employing you, they've helped create jobs in the auto and housing industries. Not to mention that they're wonderful enough to pay you an above average income.

Via Chicago. The noise is so damn good live.

Sometimes. Also: any Bob Mould, Replacements, Bowie, Reed/VU, Beatles, Richard Thompson

John Goodman? If only because the Coen Bros. almost always cast him.

This.

A.J. is thoroughly entertaining. I wish he was heading back to the Twins with Mauer moving to 1st.

That's a fantastic sentence.

You seem insistent that the regime = the sentiment of all the people. That's hardly true in a democracy let alone a regime like Iran's. I am sorry for your friend, I really am. No question their regime is pretty shitty. Having said that, there is plenty of evidence that there are lots of great people in Iran. Probably many who would stand up for you friend if they weren't scared of ending up like him.

There are plenty in Iran who share the sentiment of those protesters. The government would fully endorse, support, and maybe even instigate this kind of protest. How would a pro-American rally be received in Iran? The Iranian government controls what we see and what we know about their country the way the USSR used to. I traveled to East Germany in 1987 and was shocked by all the love the East Germans showed to Americans. The media can never give us a full picture of the truth.

I believe his last tour included a full horn section including Clemons' nehpew on sax.

Touring their brewery in '94 was a turning point in my relationship with beer. For a long time their Extra Pale Ale was my favorite. Still up there.

Not off to a good start on that front. My daughter complains of unfair treatment quite often. For a long time, whenever she asked "Why does Henry get to...??" and she'd ignore our rational answers, I started answering "Because we love him more."

Pumpkin Pie Bizzard may be nature's most perfect food.
