Sweet Papa Crimbo

Odd...but with a certain...something.

Did I mention I thought it was odd?

That is so funny that you would do that. My original post added something like, "However, if you are on the other side of the fence, it's really okay if you stay home because you feel demoralized. Please, feel free to sit this one out."

My internal editor got the better of me, and I deleted that part before posting.

 

And in the financial news today....

By the way, relatively to most Americans, households earning over $200K per year are rich. You may not think you are, but you know what? Rich people never think they are rich. They can always point to someone far, far richer and say, "That guy...he's rich."

That is freaking hilarious. $200K per year is RICH? I can't even comment further on this statement because I find it so ludicrous.

Substitute a few names and words and it's like we transported back 8 years.

8 years and 16 years...

Turn the tables. Make the band act like losers, geeking out and blowing a fanboy load. How? Say, "Hi. I'm Jules from Via Chicago".

This is the kind of stuff that got people in trouble a couple of years ago. Moving an issue with a member into another thread in a backhanded attack may be cute, but if the moderator's are consistent, will probably not be really smiled upon.

I don't think anyone really knows what "truly awful" means. The "truly awful" stuff is usually canceled fairly quickly. It's shows like According to Jim or Last Man Standing or 2 Broke Girls, which defy logic by surviving into multiple seasons despite being absolutely terrible.

Well...there are TWO reasons why 2 Broke Girls got renewed...

LOST and Big Bang Theory are golden.

 

How I Met Your Mother is a horrible abomination.

 

Was the Holy Grail promoted?

LOST was golden until the Network called their bluff and actually renewed the show. In retrospect, it's SO obvious that Lindelhof and Cuse didn't have a freaking clue what their end game to the story would be.

Spaky, that 47% don't pay income tax is not in dispute. The "victims, dependent on the government, etc. garbage is.

So, people feeling sorry for themselves (i.e. being 'victims') is now a matter of debate?

Romney isn't an answer, but Obama isn't even a good question.

I really don't know why either of these guys would want to be President the next four years.

We are headed for a total economic meltdown and neither one of these guys appear to have enough on the ball to even have a hope of addressing the economic problem, much less the problems with the Muslim world, the Chinese and the North Koreans.

At least we won't have to hear 'it's not my fault' anymore when Obama gets re-elected...maybe. Eventually he'll get to own this mess as at least being partly his doing.

Ol' Crow, quit being such a stickler ---- he didn't play on Moonlight Mile either - should that be off anybody's list, too?

 

(now I have a taste from some Old Crow...)

Difference being Saint of Me was going to be on my list. Probably the last great Stones song.

One word continually springs to mind:

EPIC

Little Feat

Saint of Me is a good one - esp. live.

I was going to include it on my list, but any song that Keith doesn't play on is hard to put on ROLLING STONES list.

gag.

 

 

btw, great call on The Delgados and Go-Betweens,

I threw them for the Chicago/Illinois connection

To those members of the tribe, best wishes!

Head East

Styx (three)

Different day...different take

It is really interesting that the Unions wants to take on Rahm...and in this economic climate.

Thankfully, it appears to have been a hoax.

Best wishes from The SEC school to your east.

 

 

I reserve the right to change my mind a few dozen times.

 

 

This

 

That video for Duquesne Whistle is horrible. It looks like a women's underwear commercial directed by David Lynch.

For me, it was kind of a cross between 500 days of Summer and Good Fellas.

The bit with Dylan and the odd entourage did make me smile (especially the guy dressed like Gene Simmons)

I loe the look of surprise on his face when he wakes up.
