I checked out AAJ last night, Chris, and it looks like jazzypaul is taking your playmate away! Watch out!

Who the hell are you calling "freaks", Chaney? Are you saying we go over the top in dealing with morons like you who come in here and insult us with...what? Oh....never mind....

Hell, everyone chip in a quarter to help buy a few cans of beans and I'll take the sucker on!

Just to make sure everyone's awake when they check their email... In the last two days I've received two phony emails from eBay designed to get my password and/or credit card info. One alleged that my file was out of date and I needed to "reregister"; the second offered a supposed shot at winning some gas guzzler. Ebay confirmed that both were phony after I forwarded them to their "phony email department" (spoof@ebay.com). Just thought I'd pass the word...

I dug out Wes Montgomery's Incredible Jazz Guitar of today for the first time in many moons. You know, that may just be my favorite version of Airegin!

I'm trying really hard, but other than posting on the political forum, I can't think of a bigger waste of time...

Darn it, I give up. I just can't seem to get these stupid italics right. Anyway, I've read The Sound and the Fury several times, and really love it. Admittedly, this is the kind of book that gives English majors a boner, but I can see why. It's almost like reading a whodunit, what with puzzling out the clues and such. Paul, I've been scared off of Absalom, Absalom as well, but maybe I ought to move that one up to the "on deck shelf" and give it a go...

No shit? Blue Note had their own bulletin board?

I agree with the distinguished McGoon.

Alexander and Dan will probably both shake their heads in disbelief, but I went with Hamilton. I suppose it's just because of the term paper I wrote, but he's just one interesting bastard to me!

I know Mann didn't really get the respect that a lot of jazz artists received, but personally, I think he leaves some big shoes to fill.

I went with the "top twenty" spot. In all honesty, Hill is an artist I respect and admire more than enjoy...

Hey, Bart was my favorite as a kid as well! I remember getting in a fight in fifth grade with a Unitas fan. To be honest, though, he was right...

Congrats! Hope you find a "diamond in the rough" in your first class! (This is better than that silly lottery fantasy back on the BNBB, isn't it! )

Actually, I seem to have managed just that. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and haven't listened to it yet. I'm sure I'll form an opinion as soon as I hear it, though...

I don't know what it is, but after staring at it for a couple of minutes, I have to go watch the 700 club and get my daily instructions from brother Pat...

I don't know what it is, but I just don't trust any animal that flies!!

Biggest bug I've ever seen was a moth that flew into my apartment the same week I was packing up to combine households with my wife. Darned thing was about three inches long with a huge wingspan. In fact, I could hear the wings from across the room; when it buzzed me I couldn't help hitting the floor. It was almost like the thing knew it had me going; it kept making passes at my head. Unfortunately for it, it flew too low and too near Moose who was still at that "eat anything that moves" kitten stage (hmm...it's lasted five years now!). Anyway, after that, Moose stood there chewing with moth innards oozing down his chin, and the other half of the moth was contemplating the hazards of attacking people with cats as the lights slowly went out......

Whoops! Time to run....

I completely agree, Claude. In fact, if I had experienced what Shrdlu went through, I'd probably report the seller to eBay as a Non-Performing Seller. They set the terms; they can't change them after the auction ends. I don't know; I don't mind having a low-limit credit card tied to PayPal, but I wouldn't want them having access to my bank account.

You mean Furbies?

I can relate to that; the only one in this house is one Moose the cat stole from somewhere. He seems to like it, but I don't think he's ready to start a collection yet...

Duh...you're right; must have been a brain fart. You know the brain cells are getting scrambled when you confuse Griese with Marino! How about Earl Morrell as "greatest all time back up on the spot" quarterback?

Well, Cabbage Patch Kids were one thing; it was mainly the "toy of the year" for that Christmas. Beanie Babies on the other hand....come on, people are still thinking they're going to send their kids to Harvard on the sale of their collection. Sad...

By the way, if the choice is "most entertaining", give me Fran Tarkington! What a show!
