  1. Zig!!! Yngwie J. Malmsteen - You Don't Remember, I'll Never Forget
  2. New Weezer!!!!!!! Wahhooo!!!!
  3. See, Shane totally get's it!!!! Under Badass in the dictionary will be this movie.
  4. She was good in Larry Flynt...but she was playing herself. I actually liked Hole a lot. I'm not hating on her, I'm just enjoying the humor.
  5. American Gangsta(The unrated version) IT WAS FUCKING BADASSS!!!!
  6. Give this one a shot...the guy taking his place, is supremely badass...I was disappointed when I found out, he'd backed out...but, now I'm looking forward to it.
  7. LOTGA of course
  8. You don't get any more romantic than this. This one is for the ladies.
  9. That was too funny!!! By no means do I condone Bill Clinton getting a bj in the oval office toilet, but really was it any of our business, was it an impeachable offense. FUCK NO. Kennedy got more ass than a toilet seat in the white house, and he's still considered one of the greatest leaders of all time. Bush, commits genocide, lies repeatedly,the equivalent of ethnic cleansing, and, defies the UN, lies repeatedly, starts a war with out legislative approval, get's thousands of young American's killed and wounded, oh and did I meantion lies repeatedly, and still no action is taken. I have a theory on that though...look at the Clinton Impeachment...look at the impact, it created such a division among us from the government down to the citizenry. Now let's create that same division now, in the midst of a (trumped up) war, and a major economic Crisis, a major oil crisis, and all of the calamities in the world caused by weather...an impeachment now would be the last thing we need. Unfortunately, President Dumbass has to finish his term...to prevent further problems...however afterwards, he should be brought up on charges...and he and his cronies, should be prosecuted to the furthest extent of International Law.
  10. I'm deeply disappointed in Obama for that. And not because I'm a member of the same denomination. This was his moment to back his beliefs. I understand backing away from the pastor, the guy was spouting verbal feces. But leaving the church, was a bad move.
  11. Quiet possible...I guess in the end it doesn't really matter...except to give us more reasons to laugh at Courtney.
  12. Sodamned, is it an original, or a cover of the Robert Plant song? Anthrax - Cry For The Indians
  13. That's been bothering me too. However, it's obvious that she was destroyed in the process of protecting him. It deosn't explain his survival very well though, unless he's the 12th Cylon. If she hadn't been, that would have been a good way for her to infiltrate by joining the refugees. I also, don't understand the resurrection ship thing in some instances...They obviously can be resurrected on Basestars...so what's the big fracking deal? Okay, and my last major beef. I really wish they hadn't destroyed the Pegasus...on some levels it made sense, just like killing off the three commanders of the damned thing. Pegasus commanders are like the drummer from Spinal Tap. Cain was the perfect foil to Adama, and the President. Killing her off was such a waste. This reflects my hope from the Original Series. I had always hoped that there would just be these continual, random run-ins with the Pegasus...I still think, that should have happened here. The Pegasus should have abandoned the fleet, and Cain should have just kept popping up, here and there. I have to agree, as good as some of the episodes have been thus far, they should be much better, and I share the opinion, that they may have painted themselves into a corner, in some ways...and the finale, may be spectacularly, disappointing. As long as they bring back Deanna..I won't be too disappointed...but, it's kind of a bummer, that something so brilliant, is so anti-climactic like a fixed boxing match.
  14. Fuck, maybe Courtney needed something to inhale...and she concocted the whole thing to cover it up.
  15. I'll drive up right away "Sparq, trapped under a Firebird" Interesting concept
  16. Robert Plant - Little By Little(Live at Glastonbury) Aimee Mann is awesomeness Shiri, so is her husband, Michael Penn
  17. That is just fucking wrong, on so many levels. what an asshat!!
  18. Rock pioneer Bo Diddley dies at age 79 By RON WORD, Associated Press Writer 17 minutes ago JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive "shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79. Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokeswoman Susan Clary said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation. The legendary singer and performer, known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, was an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and received a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards. In recent years he also played for the elder President Bush and President Clinton. Diddley appreciated the honors he received, "but it didn't put no figures in my checkbook." "If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," he quipped. The name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters when he was growing up in Chicago, he said in a 1999 interview. "I don't know where the kids got it, but the kids in grammar school gave me that name," he said, adding that he liked it so it became his stage name. Other times, he gave somewhat differing stories on where he got the name. Some experts believe a possible source for the name is a one-string instrument used in traditional blues music called a diddley bow. His first single, "Bo Diddley," introduced record buyers in 1955 to his signature rhythm: bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp, often summarized as "shave and a haircut, two bits." The B side, "I'm a Man," with its slightly humorous take on macho pride, also became a rock standard. The company that issued his early songs was Chess-Checkers records, the storied Chicago-based labels that also recorded Chuck Berry and other stars. Howard Kramer, assistant curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, said in 2006 that Diddley's Chess recordings "stand among the best singular recordings of the 20th century." Diddley's other major songs included, "Say Man," "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover," "Shave and a Haircut," "Uncle John," "Who Do You Love?" and "The Mule." Diddley's influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. Buddy Holly borrowed the bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp rhythm for his song "Not Fade Away." The Rolling Stones' bluesy remake of that Holly song gave them their first chart single in the United States, in 1964. The following year, another British band, the Yardbirds, had a Top 20 hit in the U.S. with their version of "I'm a Man." Diddley was also one of the pioneers of the electric guitar, adding reverb and tremelo effects. He even rigged some of his guitars himself. "He treats it like it was a drum, very rhythmic," E. Michael Harrington, professor of music theory and composition at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., said in 2006. Many other artists, including the Who, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello copied aspects of Diddley's style. Growing up, Diddley said he had no musical idols, and he wasn't entirely pleased that others drew on his innovations. "I don't like to copy anybody. Everybody tries to do what I do, update it," he said. "I don't have any idols I copied after." "They copied everything I did, upgraded it, messed it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing, they have to put a little bit of Bo Diddley there," he said. Despite his success, Diddley claimed he only received a small portion of the money he made during his career. Partly as a result, he continued to tour and record music until his stroke. Between tours, he made his home near Gainesville in north Florida. "Seventy ain't nothing but a damn number," he told The Associated Press in 1999. "I'm writing and creating new stuff and putting together new different things. Trying to stay out there and roll with the punches. I ain't quit yet." Diddley, like other artists of his generations, was paid a flat fee for his recordings and said he received no royalty payments on record sales. He also said he was never paid for many of his performances. "I am owed. I've never got paid," he said. "A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun." In the early 1950s, Diddley said, disc jockeys called his type of music, "Jungle Music." It was Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed who is credited with inventing the term "rock 'n' roll." Diddley said Freed was talking about him, when he introduced him, saying, "Here is a man with an original sound, who is going to rock and roll you right out of your seat." Diddley won attention from a new generation in 1989 when he took part in the "Bo Knows" ad campaign for Nike, built around football and baseball star Bo Jackson. Commenting on Jackson's guitar skills, Diddley turned to the camera and said, "He don't know Diddley." "I never could figure out what it had to do with shoes, but it worked," Diddley said. "I got into a lot of new front rooms on the tube." Born as Ellas Bates on Dec. 30, 1928, in McComb, Miss., Diddley was later adopted by his mother's cousin and took on the name Ellis McDaniel, which his wife always called him. When he was 5, his family moved to Chicago, where he learned the violin at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. He learned guitar at 10 and entertained passers-by on street corners. By his early teens, Diddley was playing Chicago's Maxwell Street. "I came out of school and made something out of myself. I am known all over the globe, all over the world. There are guys who have done a lot of things that don't have the same impact that I had," he said.
  19. The rant continues, That's a long assed fucking list. We're talking about a man, who nearly choked to death on a pretzel nugget. Let's be honest, no President has so desperately needed his speech writers, and teleprompters as this joker has. Whenever he just speaks freely, there is no amount of pepto, that can staunch the flow of liquid, verbal fecal matter that spews forth. He makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar. No President will be looked upon as unfavorably as he will be, when his term ends. He will be remembered as the "Great Dumbshit", "Divider", Murderer...rather than comparing these wars to World War II, he should consider comparing himself to Adolf Hitler...he's got that genocide thing down, and let's face it, he's given a rousing fuck you to human rights, Guantanamo Bay , anyone? You have to wonder, 1000 years from now, when historians look back at the decline and fall of our civilization, just as we look back at the Roman Empire, will they recognize George W. Bush, as the catalyst, or will he simply historical comic relief? That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
  20. Thank you Amanda. Getting off on a rant here again, I'm so pissed at her, She won't be happy until she totally cockblocks the whole damned party out of the election. She should be working to build the powerbase, and warchest for the "big show". I guarantee she'll be out of politics, completely in three years. I heard someone compare her to Gore's fight in the Presidential Election. No comparison...Gore's fight was justified...I still think that election was rigged. Darling Hilly is fighting out of spite and vanity...it makes you wonder when the last time, she had the best interests of her constituents, her country, and her party anywhere near her frigid heart. She's missus cold miser, she's missus cold... That's my opinion, I could be wrong...
  21. Sex in the City was pretty good, yes I like the show, and I'm not ashamed. Good stuff.
  22. The Chuck and Larry movie, it was funny and cute, and Jessica Biel is like all of my favorite desserts in one.
