Those guys were delightfully dorky. Also, they were really, really young.
I now feel slightly more ancient than I did before, but it’s all good.
I have a zen for you. I may have linked them many many moons ago but they went away. Cause of a copyright thing with Mauschwitz… now they are back though… here was his first one that got kinda noticed in a big way… and then this one is one that went away and it’s really really good and I think he’s brilliant really… there’s a couple dozen now I think all told
That’s right. Still here, bitches. Only now I have shown I can sockpuppet any one of you.
And here I’ll stay, too, because it’s Friday night, and frankly, this is all I’ve got.
Cyber ninja!
see now this is weirdness again I didn’t even type that about the falling in love
Okay, I don’t think I had ever seen that, and I have listened to that song about a thousand times.
if i had a million dolllars i’d take it to an injun casino
[mohegan sun]
and bet it all on red
in one bet! cuz i’m a bad man
fortunes come-and fortunes go
but ur smile lasts forever
thank you … I don’t know why but that kinda creeped me out
I just watched ‘Back to School’ with Rodney Dangerfield.

Talk about feeling old…
Interesting video, although, I’ve never listened to their stuff too much. 20 years ago I was on a whole different trip.
Getting Physical

I used to know guys like Lou.
#10: Bob
A cousin in Canada was a big fan way back then, and he met them and said the BNL were actually pretty…human-normal. They didn’t have big ‘I am the Rock God’ heads.
Which is actually kind of cool. They went up on my personal esteem chart then.
I had forgotten how gross hi-top fades on white people looked.
“That’s you right there! That’s you right there!”
Hey Mikey. Twenty years ago I was your age, you kid.
As always, though, that’s better than the alternative.
If I had a million dollars…
MARIE
Maybe, maybe not.
Wow, she’s a fucking idiot. I only watched half the video, but I could guess what the rest of it sounded like.
19 was for 18, the video at the “not” link.
I saw Bare Naked Ladies the first time about twenty years ago. Damn.
They were good back then. Still good now.
I bet they bought that house, and the furniture too.
here is cool beans – the walking dead – just the premiere – is on hulu if you missed it
And if you had a million dollars
you could give Lou Henson his rug back, too.
Damn kids.
i went to vegas and i’m not a better[strange that] and hung around strip clubs mostly cuz i knew one of the girls there from before
and one night i was in there and this guy was rolling-surrounded by five strippers and bottles of champagne-so you know he was large..
and the next day i went to the strip club and i seen him passed out next to the building
didn’t give it a second thought
but i went back that night and he was living large again and i thought
shit-i coulda rolled that dude this morning- he probably had a million bucks in his pockets!
but i don’t think that way-i think cuz i had good parents
one of the first parent lessons was always say
please-and thank you
and if u didn’t say that- u’d get a wap
“A cousin in Canada was a big fan way back then, and he met them and said the BNL were actually pretty…human-normal. They didn’t have big ‘I am the Rock God’ heads.”
A buddy of mine and his wife went to one of their shows and wound up running into them at a bar afterward. He said pretty much the same thing, that they were very cool and gracious about hanging out with fans.
Hmmm. Twenty years ago the former president’s father was president.
See, that doesn’t seem so long ago to me because I’m about seven weeks away from officially “pushing 50.”
Time is passing us by frightfully fast.
In my case, the verb tense is present perfect.
I have gotten old.
Regards,
Ric
16 years ago I was a young mom (well, youngish) holding my firstborn … today he’s going on his first date.
Yikes.
(he asked a girl to the movies)
I can’t summon any nostalgia because at the time all I could do was laugh at bands like the Barenaked Ladies as dippy easy listening music for middle aged suburban clowns. At least the intervening years made me realize what an insufferable music snob I was.
That sentiment dovetails with your last weekend’s ‘wistful’ video. Being in the mountains, I couldn’t link my musical dictionary definition of ‘wistful’, but it works even better this week I think.
me and my bestest of buddies were talking about that pbs special they had about paul simon-how great it was and what a good songwriter paul simon was- then we paused and laughed at each other cuz we wuz stone cold punks [sex pistols-clash-buzzcocks] 20 years ago and if either of us had said we liked paul simon at the time
the other one would haved gone stabby
oooh wee-right behind-tomorrows the day that my brides a gonna come
ooh whee-right into the easy chair
ever see art garfunkels kid? i mean, who am i to judge-but that’s one ugly kid
in my opinion
ok- that was mean- but the kid sure be wearing his ugly suit
and it’s like halloween everyday with the kid- cuz if i seen him on the street i’d definetly give him candy
and a pat on the head
now get along lil doggie
whaaa? which what campaign who?
Who was going on about “outsourcing hubs like India” during the campaign?
i get a bobby orr! bobby orr,bobby orr,bobby orr!
number 4!
but number one in ur hearts!
oh snap- hf- broke my bobby
that’s ok-a chance will come again [i see you!]
oops
a tutorial on bobby orr and what it means to me
if u get three posts in a row-then the fourth u say bobby orr cuz he wore number four
and if u get three posts in a row ur either hi-jacking the thread-no ones listening or responding
or ur just glee-fulling mastrubating in the wind
either way-[spoken in a sling blade voice]
give me some bobby!
i mean- don’t get me wrong- i like talking to myself
i often do it in public and frankly- i think it’s saved my life a few times..
but if i start trapping feral cats and taking them home with me
or make homemade puppets out of potatos and garbage bags
so i can talk to them cuz i need ‘company’
or walk around the house in my ‘shirley temple dress’ [tap-tap]
i think it’s time to put me out to pasture [moooo]
i ain’t there yet-honey!
[i’m sending a letter to daddy]
who’s afraid of baby jane?
who’s afraid of virginia wolff?
ooh- i get a bobby orr! [bows]
We’re getting old, people.
My grandsons are curled on the couch right now watching Saturday morning cartoons — nuf said
We’re getting old Looking at mid-face lift before and afters. It’s come to this.
bobby orr is one of those men who like to play at figure-skating on the ice, skating around with ice skates, right?
Hmmmph.
“Getting,” he says. Speak for yourself, whippersnapper.
And get offa my lawn.
People like Sestak.
Laura Ingraham and Pat Buchanan think that the Dems have found an issue that will resonate for them in 2012. A new spin on “look for the union label,” with the whole “union label” thing better hidden this time around.
Unlike them, however, I think classical liberals/conservatives can counter that argument by promising to punish countries that abuse free trade agreements — but mostly by concentrating on calling for Dems to drop the kinds of regulations, tax rates, penalties, and frivolous law suits that drives companies to outsource jobs.
Should they bring money back into the states that creates new jobs, the isolationist rhetoric — growing increasingly strong in certain segments of the right — will die down.

Considering CA is now a fully one party state — impossible to open a new factory, in thrall to public employee unions, and currently strangling our other private money-maker, agriculture, with the murder of the Central Valley — CA is the perfect example of Dem Failure that small-gov advocates can use to beat Dems about the head and shoulders in 2012.
I hope I can hang through this and get MY STATE BACK.
If you can survive California’s pending economic collapse and the flight of businesses and people to other states, it might recover one day.
cranky
My hope is that the collapse is quick and spectacular … not a slow hemorrage that the Feds keep the corpse barely alive with massive transfusions. The faster the fall, the more even the socialist Dems in CA can’t ignore that it is their policies that caused it.
The TEA Party in CA has got to get stronger and stick to our guns about small-gov and individual responsibility.
California is definitely a crisis what needs to go to waste.
The question whether to bail out California is the moment at which the establishment Republicans will betray themselves to the world, stripping off their clothes to show their asses to all and sundry.
I was working for a Canadian company way back when and spent about two years working Mon-Fri in Don Mills, ONT. Back then Much Music (Canadian MTV, only they played music)had these booths like photo booths, only with video cameras in them and people would go and vent. One night, I remember I had just driven back from Barre in a rotten snow storm and my hotel room was freezing, I had the TV on and these guys all crammed into one of those boxes and did “Be my Yoko Ono”. It was great, I thought they would go far, and they did. Someone send me money.
