Given that your site’s been stymied by a pair of DoS attacks today, I doubt that we’ll get to, you know, see the little guy&#8212

—That about sums it up, yeah.

Though if its any consolation, the randy bastard spent most of the afternoon eating chicken wings and getting drunk on pitchers of Bud at the Hooter’s near Colorado Blvd and Virginia Ave., and then danced on the table to Echo and the Bunnymen’s “Lips Like Sugar” before a bouncer wrapped him in duct tape and stuffed him into the glass chiller. 

When I picked him up he looked like an ice sculpture—albeit a tiny, razor-clawed ice sculpture with a big grin on his face and 3 singles stuffed into the waistband of his Mossimo Hawaiians.  So for him, at least, the day wasn’t a total loss.

    I’m glad it was DoS and not something to do with Deb. Glad to see you back, even if the little shelled rodent ain’t shakin’ it for us.

    Again.

  2. Major John says:

    OK, the rodent gets a pass…this time.

    Glad to get back here – any knowledge of who launched the DOS?

  3. Farmer Joe says:

    Welcome back.

  4. BoZ says:

    The song’s called “Lips Like Sugar.”

    Welcome back.

    Glad to see you back, Jeff.

  6. cranky-d says:

    At least the little guy managed to make a few bucks.

  7. Patterico says:

    Welcome back.  Looks great.

    Hey, I noticed that the post that started the controversy looks exactly the same as when I first saw it the other night!  Guess you didn’t add or delete a damned thing.

    The Wyatt Earp of words lives on! …….and the horse they rode in on.

    Good to see your still packin that sense of humor in the form of an unabridged literary package.

    Lips like sugar.  ultravox is so spot-on 80s. 

    strangly, i’m beer-and-youtubing (very loud, to the family’s disgust) smiths, new order and cure at the same time.  from this charming man to the perfect kiss to the entire frickin’ pornography (live) in album order.

    christ am i old

    p.s.  old leftists chicks suck

  11. albo says:

    *ultravox*

    man, i’m stupid.  or it’s the ur maerzen talking

  12. MarkD says:

    Welcome back, Jeff.

    I was starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms.

    TW:  miss.  You are messing with my mind, right?

  13. Muslihoon says:

    Nice to see you up again!

    I second MarkD’s comment: DT’s were about to consume me.

  14. Kent says:

    Never been much of a believer in “coincidence,” myself. 

    Meaning:  neither of the two possibilities mentioned are (inherently) mutually exclusive of one another. cool hmm

  15. Well, shit.  I was driving past there about 6:30.  If you’d have just posted somethign beforehand, I’d have stopped in.

    assuming some dickwad wasn’t demonstrating lefty debating skills, that is.

  16. Never been much of a believer in “coincidence,” myself.

    “Once is coincidence. Twice is enemy action.”

    I wish I could remember Slovotsky’s comment on that law. Something along the lines of “and I’m not too sure about that first time”.

  17. joshy says:

    “The Cutter” by Echo and the Bunnymen is so vastly superior to “Lips Like Sugar.” Come on, man! Get with the program!

  18. Kent says:

    “Once is coincidence. Twice is enemy action.”

    I may be completely wrong, here… but:  isn’t the original quote (by Ian Fleming, wasn’t it?) “Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action”…?

    (Not to say I’m not 110% in agreement with your larger point, you understand…!) wink

    N00bs. tongue rolleye

    Goldfinger’s flat, hard stare didn’t flicker. He might not have heard Bond’s angry-gentleman’s outburst. The finely chiselled lips parted. He said, ‘Mr Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.” Miami, Sandwich and now Geneva. I propose to wring the truth out of you.’ Goldfinger’s eyes slid slowly past Bond’s head. ‘Oddjob. The Pressure Room.’

    Come on, Lips Like Sugar would make anyone, shell or no shell, dance.  Most of us who are old enough to remember Echo and the Bunneyman are old enough to not be cool anymore . . . Lips Like Sugar is likely the only song that we can let our teenagers listen to and actually think they will like it. 

    Although, I have sold most the U2 catalogue to my 15 1/2 year old, who has every album from Joshua Tree on his Ipod.  Come on, give me a break, I know that An Cat Dubh, fading into In the Heart is about the most heartbreaking guitar riff in modern music, but you try getting a teenager trying to appreciate the gutiarmanship of 26 years ago.

  21. who are you people?  Glad to see you back up (sorta) seems i\’m having some technical issues here.

    Hopefully the duct tape won\’t make the little guys skin break out too badly.

    maggie katzen (for those having issues similar to mine, unless i\’m the only one, then go ahead, point and laugh at me.)

  22. joshy says:

    the real question is: who is anyone?

    i’m still slightly disturbed that someone remembered U2’s “An Cat Dubh.” how old am i?

    In other words:  I was correct… yes?  Go “noob” your own self, then.  wink

    I’ll be back to my usual commenting frequency as soon as I can clean all this pink elephant poop out of my computer room.

  25. Jaibones says:

    Bro,

    it’s too good to have you live again.

  26. Swen Swenson says:

    It’s not so amazing how well the ‘dillo dances, but that he dances at all.

    With apologies to John D. MacDonald

    For what it’s worth, armadillos aren’t rodents they’re members of the Order Xenarthra (edentates), although they do have tiny little peg teeth so they’re not entirely toothless as their name would imply. (Sorry, it’s the irrepressible pedant in me.)

    Hang in Jeff! Glad you’re back.

  27. MaaddMaaxx says:

    Welcome Back JG,

    Afraid you wasted an evening though.  That hooters has the worst wings of any in Denver.  Next time go to the one on 6th and Simms.  Take it from someone who has eaten at both of them plus at hooters #1 in St. Pete.

    MM
