The Young Ones

We absolutely did stupid things with bicycles and ramps inspired by Evel when I was a kid. I went through two of the toy motorcycles and I also had the matching van. I clearly remember having my mother wake me up one night late so I could watch one of his jumps on tv, i don't know why it was on so late. He did it all on what was pretty much a factory Harley Davidson, which makes what he did even more insane.

I wish I had never tasted this, because I can't afford it. I think it is Sweetwater IPA that makes the statement on the bottle "This is the beer you have been practicing for." Well, this is the "beer" I have been practicing for. Pure goodness.

Wedding Crashers... my wife and I couldn't figure out what everyone thought was so funny about it. I have walked out on many, but have recommended my share that pissed people off like Dead Man and Pi (two of my favorites.)

Very nice!!! My four year old loved Hoodoo and so did I. Now its off to get the kids to bed...late.

I think Jeff looks Garciaesque, just not fat and stoned.

My guess- scheduling conflict...

Ok? And?

 

We are going to eat meat regardless. It is expensive and it takes a long time to kill the animals we eat humanely. In a capitalist society such as ours, it is no feasible to kill the animals humanely.

 

There is a huge difference between making two dogs fight to the death or until they become so injured that you cannot justify keeping them alive and kill them by electrocution and cutting a chicken's head off so they can make delicious Chicken McNuggets.

 

I have no doubt their claims are true. I just don't care.

Yeah, I guess my comparison makes me illogical. I mean, hey, we are gonna eat meat anyway, if a little inhumane treatment makes that tasty steak cheaper, so what, it's just a dumb cow anyway. Hey, I am no angel here, I have eaten my fair share. But don't pretend like it is okay cause "we have got to have it." And call me stupid if you want, but I am not talking about farmer John cutting a chickens head off to make Sunday dinner. I am talking about entire animal lives spent in horrid and inhumane conditions so we can have cheap meat, because hey, its convenient.

Perhaps my logic is flawed. I am not advocating the torture or mistreatment of any animals, it just continues to baffle me when I hear the outrage over animal cruelty in the suburbs and the deafening silence over the horrid conditions our food supply is subjected to.

The more you hear about this abomination, the more repulsive it becomes.

I have to admit though, when cases like this become so ubiquitous I can't help but wonder why there is no similiar widespread outrage at institutionalized torture of animals perpetuated to feed us fast. What goes on on feedlots is much crueler and much less natural than a hunter shooting a deer. If you want to be outraged on a grand scale, or maybe at least see the irony of being outraged over several dozen dogs when thousands and thousands of feed animals are tortured daily in this country, do some research on feedlots.

When animals reach the slaughter facility the only concern is to kill as many in as short a period as possible. The animals are terrified at the slaughter plant and the cruelty inflected on the animal in their last moments on earth are indescribable. I believe if viewing of slaughter was required to eat meat, most folks would become vegetarians.

From the website http://www.vegsource.com/lyman/lyman_mcdonald.htm (i have not researched the claims of this particular site, but I don't think the claims made here are in any way a stretch.)

In what way are McDonald's responsible for torture and murder?

* THE menu at McDonald's is based on meat. They sell millions of burgers every day in 35 countries throughout the world. This means the constant slaughter, day by day, of animals born and bred solely to be turned into McDonald's products.

Some of them - especially chickens and pigs - spend their lives in the entirely artificial conditions of huge factory farms, with no access to air or sunshine and no freedom of movement. Their deaths are bloody and barbaric.

MURDERING A BIG MAC

* In the slaughterhouse, animals often struggle to escape. Cattle become frantic as they watch the animal before them in the killing-line being prodded, beaten, electrocuted, and knifed.

Sounds a lot like what people are so outraged (rightfully so) at Vick and his fellow thugs doing to dogs. Is it okay to treat cows this way because they are not man's best friend?

Betty Boop as Snow White. I never thought I would recommend Betty Boop, but this kicks butt, and my three and five year old daughters absolutely concur.

Someone actually sent me this, as if I would say YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!!!

I am really concerned about my image.

I was cleaning the kitchen two weeks ago and this song came on the radio. My wife SCREAMED at me from the other room "TURN IT UP!!!" What a great song!

the links there are expired now. could anyone repost them?

 

in the meantime, here are versions i have of everything but radio cure (which apparently hes still never played solo?) and poor places

Thank you kindly.

I think this entire post is pretty freakin sad. Of course slavery was an abomination, but there were plenty of people north of the Mason Dixon line that had no interest in fighting a war to end slavery. Maybe the more educated historians out there can correct me ( and possibly already have, I admit I have not read every post), but I don't believe the Civil War would have ever been fought over slavery alone. And to somehow make the United States forces seem righteous for ending slavery in light of the horrendous massacres and genocide they would soon perpetrate on the Native populations seems like a hell of a stretch for me.

Can't we all just admit the mistakes of our past (and present) and move on!

Damnation!

I love Pat and I have decided I will hunt down anyone saying anything derogatory about Pat, even in jest, and kick their ass!

Sweetwater does make an IPA, its called Sweetwater IPA, and it is very good.

I was born in Florida, grew up in South Carolina, moved to Idaho and then Oregon for several years and thought I would never leave the great Northwest, especially with my wife working on a masters degree in Forest Hydrology. I loved it there, but I always missed Southern people. Oddly, my wife got a job in Atlanta, and I reluctantly came with her. We have been here ten years now and I hate the DAMN traffic and Smog and Heat, but I still love Southern people. You can say what you want about the South being full of racists and rednecks, they are here in abundance, but I haven't lived or visited too many places yet that don't have their share of equivalently misinformed and idiotic people. I call myself Southern, and proudly so, but not because I am loyal to the Confederacy. I love the people and the food (grits, sweet sweet tea, greens and BBQ), I love seeing people say Grace before eating, I love the hospitality and the person in front of me walking through a door looking back to see if someone else is coming. I don't hate the North, some of my best memories are visiting by crazy ass uncles in Maine and making fun of my cousins in Ohio for calling Coke Pop, but I love the South, and if I ever leave again, which is always a possibility, I know I will miss it.

I have to stop now, my eyes are blurring from my sentimental tears.

 

It's a long running joke based on the fact that Pat didn't appear in hardly any of the footage on the SBS DVD. Calm down.

I calmed down, none of you know my real name right? Apparently I felt the need to go on a rant after having maybe one too many Sweetwater IPA's. As usual, it didn't turn out so well. I have been duly humbled.

Um... I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was a joke. Lighten up, Francis.

 

(You can clearly see Pat's arm in my photo.)

Way to make me feel bad right away! I like it up here on the stump, did you have to knock me down so soon? I'm still mad at the Starbuck's contest winner guy!

As has been proved before and restated by this photo, Pat is not in Wilco.

First post for me here, so forgive me, or kick me out if you want, but what is up with comments like this? I probably don't belong here, like Pat. I bought my first Wilco album when YHF came out. At Borders! Crap, I have no business posting here with you serious fans. Hope you weren't pissed if I happened to be sitting next to you at a show. The last time I saw Jeff Tweedy previous to 2006 was in 1994 with Uncle Tupelo. As great as they were, I thought it was one of the worst shows I ever saw. The only thing I brought away from that show was how much better live the Joe Henry Band was than UT.

All I see now, and I wholeheartedly agree, are posts about how great, how tight, how damn positive Wilco is with the current lineup. Maybe Jay Bennett should be brought back, get rid of boring, out of place Pat? Oops, I forgot, I'm new to this so I have no business criticizing the "old ways" and the "old Wilco"or the "true fans", the ones that go way back to AM, that bastion of everything that "was" great, but I will take Wilco now , with Mr Sansone over any Wilco precedents. I love everything Wilco has done, everything Jeff Tweedy has done, but I consider the current line up of Wilco (including Mr Sansone) one of the most dynamic and exciting bands I have ever listened to or seen.
