I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

foist?




Good morning and happy birthday to me.


holy smokes I could have been first and didn't even think to stop, type, publish, sit back and enjoy a sliver of my fifteen minutes.


happy birthday then.


GravatarHappy Birthday WalterNeff!


GravatarWalter happy b-day.


GravatarHAPPY BIRTHDAY WALTERNEFF!!!!


GravatarLieberman's voice is the droning sandpaper of dead vocal chords.

If it weren't being formed into words, I'd assume it was stale air being forced out of a corpse's lungs.


GravatarHappy birthday, WalterNeff!

Is it Sunday in New Zealand?


Gravatar"I'm not gonna let them get away with it."

Ooooooh, so scary it made me want to . . . suck my OWN blood!

[/Count Floyd]


GravatarHappy birthday WalterNeff! Now with more Handsome™!


GravatarMany happy returns of the day, Walter.


GravatarHappy birthday Walter Neff- lion kitty sends you some purrrrs.


What's this about attacks from the blogosphere? what a whiney ass titty baby joementum is.


GravatarColbert's White House Correspondents Dinner keynote is the #1 album @ iTunes.


GravatarHey Watertiger, the new Macbooks are out.


Sigh.


I wants me one.


GravatarWalterNeff -- many happy returns!!!


BTW -- how's Mrs. Dietrichson?


GravatarWhy isn't Bernie Sanders (I-VT) an Eschaton approved candidate? Could there be a sitting congressman we all agree with more often?


GravatarHappy Birthday WalterNeff!

And, I presume, Buggered Birthday EvilWalterNeff!


GravatarHappy b-day WalterNeff


GravatarMany happy returns of the day, WalterNeff.


GravatarHey Watertiger, the new Macbooks are out.

Stop it. Just stop it right now.

GravatarHappy b-day, Walter!


GravatarWhy isn't Bernie Sanders (I-VT) an Eschaton approved candidate? Could there be a sitting congressman we all agree with more often?

I don't think he needs fundraiser help. He's got $2.9M and a 2:1 lead over the rich GOP fucker and that fighter jock isn't even on the radar...


GravatarThis is the Happy Birthday Walter Neff thread. Anything else is off-topic.

Happy Birthday Walter Neff.


Gravatarmg

what's Bernie polling at these days?


GravatarDon't feel bad Watertiger, check out the review of the new MacBook Pro at Salon. It's really entertaining and probably will make you less upset about the empty wallet.


GravatarJoe Lieberman, the Chris Matthews of the Senate. The Naderlike mole taking revenge on a party that failed to coronate him as the true heir. He will never forgive, he will never forget, he will always avenge himself.


Gravatar Where the hell did I leave my ecstasy?

Hi, Honey, I'm hoooome!


Gravataralright, going walkabout for a bit.


GravatarFeliz cumpleańos, Walter.

ˇY muchas vueltas felices del día!


Gravatarfeliz navidad, you old insurance investigator.


GravatarI just saw a full page ad in the
Village Voice that says Napster.com
is now free.

Does that mean what I hope it means?


GravatarSo Walter Neff is what, 15 now?

Happy happy WN. You young bugger.


GravatarAt the state level here, it looks like either John Morrison or John Tester can win against Sen Conrad Burns (r) (abranoff crook).


GravatarHappy Happy! Walter Neff. Where is the link to your blog?
NYMary, is SP doing better?


GravatarI'm not sure what the latest numbers are, but I do know that Tarrant is throwing ass loads of money at the campaign. He's trying to buy off students with free laptops. All sorts of stuff. I also know that there is a little concern just because Bernie is thought of as such a shoe-in that there isn't the kind of support a true grassroots campaign really needs.


GravatarIt's WalterNeff's birthday?


Happy Birthday, to the most handsome man in the world!!!!!

(`O`) For he's a jolly fine fellow...


GravatarWhere the hell did I leave my ecstasy?

Hi, Honey, I'm hoooome!


SHe said ectasy, siily. Not lead weight.


GravatarDoes WalterNeff have to share his cake with EvilWalterNeff?


GravatarHappy Birthday! Matt Cutts at Google has asked me comment at various blogger blogs. I hope that's cool with you. Now let me propose that when it's your birthday you might not be aching to authorize the invasion of sovereign nations. You might be very happy eating cake and opening presents and forgetful of your nation's principles. At such moments, it's really important to reflect upon the sheer destructive power of America's military arsenal, keeping that power close at hand and making it work for you.


GravatarSHe said ectasy, siily. Not lead weight.

No Tastee Freeze for you. ONE YEAR!


GravatarI just saw a full page ad in the

Probably have a minimum service that's free. I pay $10 a month for the basic service...

ITunes is free, but limited. To get options, you got to pay for the premium service.


GravatarBirthday greetings & bottle of wine, indeed, Neff, old chum!

And if you'll pardon my asking, how many years has it been since Baby Boy Neff was first dandled on Mother Neff's damp lap?


GravatarJohn McCain: Eat shit, motherfucker.


GravatarHi, Honey, I'm hoooome!
Now we need twice as much.

SHG, he's on the mend.


GravatarHey Watertiger, the new Macbooks are out.

"PhotoBooth" is an absolute hoot.

My daughters and I like to go to the Apple store and make quivering chunks of giggling jello out of ourselves snapping goofy distorted pictures of one another.


GravatarNo Tastee Freeze for you. ONE YEAR!

Damn.

Guess Rosey Palm, and her freinds will have to suffice.


GravatarOT:
Read the General, if you haven't already.

GravatarJust got in from the garden. Lieberman can bite me.

GravatarStop it. Just stop it right now.

steve simels - 3:50 pm


Yeah, Lieberman is like a Made Man who is a bit of a loose cannon, but still in good standing with the bosses.

It's as if the puny progressive arm of the party is wrestling with the dominant centrist pragmatic arm. Presumably the schmucks you name would argue that it is the anti-Lieberman rabble which is on the wrong side of history.

My arm/arm-wrestling metaphor is strained to the extent that in the interests of verisimilitude, the fingers would switch around from one hand to the other. By which I meantersay that a given Democrat can be aligned with progressive interests one day, then squarely in the service of reaction in the next. And vice-versa.

I'm sure that they would rather have a real Democrat in the seat. They might think that he's a better bet to win but I'll bet they'd like someone else there.

And if Lamont wins, they'll get used to it fast enough.


GravatarAh, smalfish, that just proves you weren't watching. I was naked as the day after I was born. Ok, not totally nude, but dancing in a diaper is still worth a golf clap. hehehe


GravatarJohn McCain is a parody troll. Read the text.


Gravatarlittle brother...let's hope Shiva doesn't get involved in your metaphor


Gravatari just wanted to comment on the feith appt to georgetown from the previous thread. how the fuck do these people get appointed to such influential academic posts following on the carnage they are responsible for. tenet is at georgetown; yoo has a post a berkeley. don't ethics and morality factor into these appointments. esp the thought of yoo teaching the next generation of lawyers is beyond insulting. he should be on trial in the fucking hague.

perhaps the puny progressive arm, having more leverage from being straight up, will break a bone in the arm of the overconfident centrist.

that would be humorous.

GravatarSorry Dirk, it was just a translucent diaper. I can see how you'd make that mistake though.


Gravatarfucking blogger won't bring up my post unless you refresh, so here it is.

Despite the fact that the maladministration has proven itself to be totally inept, time after time, it is important to remember that they have definite agenda. And that agenda is being enacted as we blog. Think of the I.D. card for legal aliens. How the hell will anyone be able to tell a legal Mexican resident from an illegal. Think about it. Pull over a Guatamalen and he'll say, no sir officer, I was born here, I don't need an i.d. card. How will anyone know. The upshot will be i.d. cards for everyone. We couldn't just have cards for brown people. Once that happens it will be a simple matter to program the cards to keep track of your movements and spending habits. Let's go one step further. The FDA has decided that menstruating women should be considered pre-pregnant. With the handy dandy i.d. card it will be easy enough to program the card not to to sell cigs or liquor to any woman between the ages of 12 and 55. I don't think Margaret Atwood meant for "the Handmaid's Tale" to be a blueprint.

/looking around....


Gravatargrandmamere,

At least the rest of us try to come up w/somthing new to say everyday. You bore me by being repititous. And, boring me is, may I mention, the greatest crime of all. Give it a rest for a few days until you can bring us something fresh. Really. These are difficult times. They call for a new mode d'humor.


GravatarYeah, Lieberman is like a Made Man who is a bit of a loose cannon, but still in good standing with the bosses.

Lieberman is a DINO hack who is in it for the millions he'll make during his tenure. Too bad he'll be contributing to trillions in damage to our economy, and the deaths of troops and Iraqi people. At this point it would be cheaper to pay off all of the corporations and their shills than to suffer any longer.


GravatarHappy Birthday to WalterNeff!

Heavy, expensive items headed your way.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to ship a Costco case of Milk Duds and root beer???


GravatarI guess one of us should offer a tissue, then, eh?

Make 'em get their own damned Kleenex. Personal responsibility and all that. Wankers.


GravatarI saw Blogosphere Attacks when I was about eight. The giant goons drilling into earthlings' heads and that guy in the globe with the tentacles scared me out of two years of growth. That's why I turned out to be a shrimp.


GravatarMSNBC: Let me ask you about your leadership. In the most recent survey, your disapproval rating is now one point lower than Richard Nixon’s before he resigned the presidency.

BUSH: [laughs]

MSNBC: You’re laughing...

BUSH: I’m not laughing.


GravatarThat was a birthday present, WalterNeff.


GravatarAnotherBruce, that's how I ended up with all these damn things. I thought that maybe, just maybe, if I bought 100 cases of the damn things I could start a trend, maybe recoup some of the money I lost on that terrible investment too.

I tried to turn a profit and all I got was thousands of these lousy diapers. All I need is to be showing off my bowel sculptures....

Now I've gone too far.

GravatarGrandma likes it. Grandma is trying to tend to the garden but you libs keep pokin' yer heads in and screechin' like dying snappin' turtles drying in the sun.


GravatarMSNBC: Why do you think that is?

BUSH: Because we’re at war. And war unsettles people. Listen, we’ve got a great economy. We’ve added 5.2 million jobs in the last two-and-a-half years, but people are unsettled. They don’t look at the economy and say, 'life is good.' They know we’re at war. And I’m not surprised that people are unsettled because of war. The enemy’s got a powerful tool — that is to get on your TV screen by killing innocent people. And my job is to continue to remind the people it’s worth it. We’re not going to retreat hastily. We’re not going to pull out of there before the job’s done and we’ve got a plan for victory.

Gravatari would have thought transparent diapers would be a big hit. saving us from the dreaded sniff or {shudder} the finger dip.

but then, i'm a dad.


GravatarTrains? In VT? We have almost zero public transport up here. It's almost as bad as LA... almost.


Gravatarhow the fuck do these people get appointed to such influential academic posts following on the carnage they are responsible for. -- linda

How 'bout that? I'll have to put this under Occam's Microtome, but one can't help but wonder if our government is run by representatives of an elite and wealthy class of citizens, and that this larger community of elites warmly accomodates the interests of their fellows in government.

It seems obvious enough that our politicians are drawn from the moneyed class-- old and new, respectively. A dynastic political aristocracy (Bush, Kennedy, Clinton) and a retinue of wealthy persons-- reflected most plainly in the Senate.

So it's another variation of the Made Man theory. Once you're in, the bosses have your back as long as you don't screw up your responsibilities to them. Sinecures in prestigious universities, corporations, institutions, foundations, and law firms are genially shared and dispensed according to need.

Any little irregularities, not to say blemishes, in the candidate's CV are invariably downplayed or overlooked. The employers are either uninterested in past indiscretions, up to and including criminal convictions, or are aware of the warts and are OK with them. The point here is redemption and rehabilitation, so why kick a fellow when he's down? What are fellow elites for? Isn't class loyalty the marrow of civilization?

And like that, hypothetically.


GravatarWanna go into business together? I'll make the product and you market it?

GravatarIt's not polluted anymore

Keep believing that. There are fish, but if you pull them out and compare them with fish taken from other waters or from taxonomy books you'll see lots of anomalies in their structure.

The Blackfoot is still polluted. In fact the Milltown dam which is being removed will be releasing a plume of the previously mentioned mining pollutants downstream. It's in the sand and mud in the bottom of the river. Some samples show the river to be clean, but do the sample again, you you'll find the cyanide coper and arsenic in unsafe quantities..

GravatarThat river got polluted back in the seventies, rebouned maginificently in the eighties.

That's not correct, the pollution sources started way back in the mid to late 1800's and continued through modern times. The mining operations in Butte of course are much smaller now. There still are mining operations going on all over Montana, and still are releasing from current and past operations into the Blackfoot. You see my father was an engineer who worked on some of these problems, in Butte, Annaconda, Coal Strip, Phosphate, etc.

GravatarYes Olexicon, freedom poo. Wanna buy some? It comes packaged in a lovely patriotic translucent diaper. Every good American should have at least two.


GravatarThat's part of why I troll you- you just respond emotionally to any stupid thing someone says.

you stupid mother fucking son of a bitch! i hate you! i HATE you!


GravatarYou could rent the Fortress of Solitude out to Atriots. I could use a week or two.

I have rented it out a few times, so it's not out of the question! And with NTodd's Pa's Wife not mobile for the next several weeks, it will definitely be sitting empty more than I'd like...


Gravatar"Is there still that lethal pool in Butte?"


Go to google maps

find Utah and E. Front Street, change the mode of the map to sat picture and look a mile or so to the North east.

You can see the berkely pit.

Yes. This is precisely what being a grandma feels like. I loved being a mom, but it was work. Being a grandma is all that joy and none of the work. I am bugging son to send me more pics of Wells. He is so gorgeous, so in touch with the universe, still trailing heaven. Being a grandma is the best thing in the whole world. And I've had great sex, won impossible cases, had mystic sex with trees, and worn lovely clothes. But being Wells' grandma is best.

Hey now! Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Anthrax, Sabbath - there's some surpirsingly complicated and complex stuff in there.

Check out Queensryche for a more "thinking man's metal band". I wouldn't call them metal, per se, but they're incredibly tight and have a great social conscience in their lyrics. "Operation:Mindrime" is all about government/media/religious corruption during the Reagan years.

I wouldn't call Yes hard rock either, but if you see the DVD of them live in the early 70s they did rock out in concert.

Y'know who really surprised me was Kansas. I'd never really paid much attention to them, but I had a g/f that was a Kansas nut, so I heard a lot of them for a few years. They're frankly a lot louder and wilder than I would have imagined. And quality musicians, as well.


GravatarThe poor kid probably realized Fredo was the preznitwit.

Shit. Sometimes, it makes me cry and I'm fifty years old


GravatarJimi was 3 and Zep was 1. Who would you put in front of Sab?


Well, Jimi for one. He was a singular, epochal genius. He would never go behind Black Sabbath in my book. And as Uncle Smokes just pointed out, I'd say that the Who has Sabbath pretty well beat too. I suppose it depends what your definiton of "hard rock" is. I think the Clash was better than Sabbath, too. And Ten Years After, and Santana.


GravatarHey again. I wake up and see the conversation isn't making much more sense than it was. Excellent. Carry on.


GravatarYay! I got my Greenwald book today! I'll start reading it tomorrow. Poker game tonight.


GravatarOne local station likes to announce that they are "metal-free rock and roll", and then play Deep Purple.

One of the best concerts I ever saw, 1987 iirc. Brillian musicians and a solid stage show.


GravatarYES is HARD ROCK?

No fucking way. I love Yes, but they're "prog rock" (whatever the fuck that means) or something else. Yes, Yes rock hard in concert (seen 'em), but it ain't necessarily "hard rock".

Shit, Beethoven rocks, and rocks hard, but I'd never call his music hard rock.


Gravatarbut if you see the DVD of them live in the early 70s they did rock out in concert.

Went to the concert. got the t-shirt. they rocked live, unless wakeman was having a bad night.

The Pixies usually get stuck with label, "alternative rock." I have even seen the term "protopunk" used for them, which messes with the space-time continuum. Such labels are so useless these days ("alternative" to what?), except perhaps to put together these lists we love so much--as for The Pixies, I'll just stick with "essential."

GravatarRonnie James Dio or Joe Lynn Turner? Dio had one of the greatest voices in hard rock, I think.

Turner. I did see Dio with Sabbath though.


Gravatartime to go back to work.

later.


Gravatar Dio had one of the greatest voices in hard rock, I think.
Ripley


Excellent voice, but I'd put Ian Gillan and Bruce Dickenson ahead of Dio.

Liked Blackmore's Rainbow with Dio and Powell.


GravatarI listened to Queensryche incessantly during college. Operation: Mindcrime, The Warning, and Rage for Order. Over and over and over

I saw them in 84, opening for KISS, in St Paul. As a budding guitarist, they blew. my. mind.


GravatarJoeHICA! Bend Over, Joe!

Heh. Well, stone knives & bearskins just got a little better. You can read more about it in my weekend update post, where you will also see "onionhead" in full bloom, and a fat, fat Curly pix.

I listened to some Glen Beck, today, 'cause I was bored. Hilarious... callers taunting him as a "lefty," 'cause Beck is saying the sheen is off Chimpy's armor. Greenwald was right -- there's a huge percentage of wingers who're ideologically invested, solely, in Preznit Pretzelcoatl.

GravatarNTodd--do you think Mlle's current status qualifies her as a MILF?


GravatarHe was a singular, epochal genius. He would never go behind Black Sabbath in my book. And as Uncle Smokes just pointed out, I'd say that the Who has Sabbath pretty well beat too. I suppose it depends what your definiton of "hard rock" is. I think the Clash was better than Sabbath, too. And Ten Years After, and Santana.

Ok, but with Hendrix at 3 and Sab at 2 that's pretty much the same rating.

Sabbath had a major influence on the metal of the 80's (as did Zep and Jimi along with Aerosmith). I think that's where the rating came from as the folks interviewed about the band were all 80's metal players.


GravatarHey, the good news is that the least popular occupation for someone with my type was the job I was doing before went to law school.

I need a magarita.

I don't remember any such lists. What type are you anyhow, RIL? I'm an intp, and now I'm wondering what's on the list for me, that I most surely missed out on.

Make that two margaritas.


Gravatar(((Jeffraham and Curly!!!)))

I loves fat Curly!


GravatarSuch labels are so useless these days ("alternative" to what?), except perhaps to put together these lists we love so much

If Man is 5 then the Devil is 6. And if the Devil is 6 then God is 7.


GravatarSuch labels are so useless these days ("alternative" to what?),

I was a DJ at a radio station that went from Rock to "alternative" then back to rock. A bunch of people went nuts over the format change - they actually picketed in front of the station one Saturday morning. Oy...

(Hi, Vicki!)


Gravataralternative extreeeme proto-punk!


GravatarI saw them in 84, opening for KISS, in St Paul. As a budding guitarist, they blew. my. mind.

I saw them on the Mindcrime tour, whatever year that was. Don't remember who they were opening for -- Metallica, maybe? I was only there to see Queensryche, so I left when they were done.

I'll be singing their stuff all night, thanks to this thread. And I'm no Geoff Tate. Poor mr. jezebel.


GravatarLiked Blackmore's Rainbow with Dio and Powell.

Dickenson is amazing, frankly.

Did you know Powell joined ELP? Pure coincidence, they said... heh!


GravatarThe Pixies? They aren't rock, they're rap -- overdubbed Ben Stein in fact.

OK, Yes. YES, I admit it! I watched that episode of Fairly Odd Parents.


Gravatarsallyh:

Mlle sounds like she is clue-d in re the Chimp (no surprise considering who mum is), so I'm inclined to think mini-Mlle will be okay on that score.


GravatarNTodd--do you think Mlle's current status qualifies her as a MILF?
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere


shouldn't you have said MYLF?


GravatarDickenson is amazing, frankly.

There's a documentary out called "Metal: A Headbangers Journey"... Anthropologist metal head goes looking at metal.

Anyways, there's a great interview with Dickenson (among others).

GravatarBillyb:

Re: hard rock.

IMHO, the term is obsolete and
archaic, and only describes certain
music from the 60s. In any case, a lot
of those we used to call hard rock
bands we now call something else --
the Northwest groups
we now call garage punk were
considered hard rock back in the day.
I think the best examples of what
the term originally meant were Paul
Revere and the Raiders (particularly
"Just Like Me" and "Steppin' Out").
Probably the purist example would
be the single version of "Jumpin' Jack
Flash." The first two Steppenwolf
albums also qualify. Other than that --
I can't think of a lot. The McCoys,
maybe. Or the occasional Beatles
track on the White Album -- "Me and
My Monkey," maybe.

Basically, it means loud guitars in
the service of not especially blues-based rock with
little or no pop overlay.

But Hendrix? Sabbath? Blue Oyster
Cult? Deep Purple? Don't think so...
they're a whole other thing.


GravatarCorny as it is, my first love was KISS, playing air (and tennis) guitar to their first live album.

I used red food coloring and water to practice "spitting up" blood--and wondering how I could get my tongue to be as long as Gene Simmons (paging Dr. Freud, adolescent inadequacies on line two).

Once I saw them live in full regalia, including the rising platforms, however, my interest peaked, and then I moved on to more serious music geekery.


GravatarFrom the last topic.

Atrios: "I don't know how any of them sleep at night."

Because their soulless Nazi pricks.

GravatarRes--Mlle hates the Chimp with every fiber of her being. She was having some trouble pushing the placenta out, and her husband said, imagine you're booting Bush out of the office.

Squabbling amongst themselves, eh?
Ahhhhh....HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH!!

Elvis C, along with the Clash, were the best things to come out of the original New Wave movement, IMO.

I'll forgive you this time.


GravatarElvis C, along with the Clash, were the best things to come out of the original New Wave movement, IMO.

I listen to both a lot.

I would see any Elvis show. He was with the Brooklyn Philarmonic last Friday night and I tried (unsuccessfully) to go. I just love the guy.


GravatarWhich Elvis Costello?

There is the Rockpile Elvis. Elvis with the Attractions, Elvis on his own... The one C&W album he did with T-Bone Burnett...


GravatarNTodd so needs daughters so that they can look at him and make him melt


Oh, yeah. I think NTodd will make an amazing dad. I've been surprised by what a good dad Son, whose own dad booked when Son was nine months, has been. i asked him the other week if it was difficult for him, not having had a model, and he said, "Mom, I'm just trying to be good to the boy." I love hime.

Listening to NTodd's podcasts makes me feel young.

I'm so going to pimp him to some Vermont witches I know.


GravatarNTodd so needs daughters so that they can look at him and make him melt

I think that might be a bad idea. I'd be way too overprotective to overcome my bad Elektra-related feelings.


Gravatarsallyh ...

I am thinking of doing some cocktailing this evening. Just in the mood. Maybe a few gin and tonics.

They marketed themselves. Kiss were straight up one of the best acts going until the commerciality set in.

The first three albums were great.

I have to tell you that my son has knocked me off my feet - he's both mother and father to his little girl. And then he turns around and plays with her like he was her age.

It's a thing of beauty.

GravatarI think that might be a bad idea. I'd be way too overprotective to overcome my bad Elektra-related feelings.

I think you'll do just fine, NTodd. For some inexplicable reason, you remind me of my first husband, who is a truly wonderful human being for whom I wish all things good. I really don't know why you remind me of him sometimes - he's German, moved to Miami when he was 12 and grew up there, now living in NYC - but there's something about your posts that makes me think of him. I don't know you well (okay, at all), but I know that the ex is one of the most honest, genuine, caring, loving people I've ever had the honor to know. He's now happily remarried and, I hope, well on his way to exercising his own talents as a proud papa. So, however odd or misplaced the comparison might seem, I promise it's intended to be a compliment.


GravatarI like the work with T-Bone but would have to go with Trust.

I'll tell you my least favorite
Costello album: "Almost Blue."

Elvis can do country when he's of
a mind to, but that album is just
embarassing. It's the equivalent of
Pat Boone singing metal. Total shit.

Gravatarhe's German, moved to Miami when he was 12 and grew up there, now living in NYC

GravatarW.A.S.P did a pretty good cover of The Who's "The real Me".

Blackie Lawless was a bona fide anti-evangelical crusader, back in the Swaggart days, and had a pretty good grasp on theology and the snake oil Swaggart was selling.

Actually, I was never that big a fan. I listened to it and spun a lot of their tunes back in my DJ days because everyone loved it.

When I go back and listen now, I can objectively say that what they did was fairly impressive.
