  1. A "notoriously inconsistent" live performer through the years, but who else could conjure this precise mojo? Pocket, thy name is Zig.
  2. Bill Barber Howard Johnson Bob Stewart
  3. Who you think you are, Ali?
  4. 75...wow...keep going strong!
  5. Let's keep it jazz:
  6. Kit Carson People Who Drive Kit Cars People Who Eat Kit-Kat Bars
  7. Not as good as I like the sweater better, but...can you get them as a combo?
  8. You should hire Don Patterson then. Or at least his tongue.
  9. whoa...that was quite a band. I should travel in such circles as to get invited to that kind of party!
  10. Gary Muledeer Bullmoose Jackson Cow Cow Davenport
  11. I'm the same way with pianists who pick their noses and then go and put their fingers right on the keyboard. Nasty. I think I've mentioned before that I once saw organist Don Patterson play a longish solo with his tongue, in a convincing imitation of cunnilingus. What was he doing with his palms? Or do I not want to know that?
  12. http://www.mlbinjurynews.com/2012/09/the-texas-rangers-are-living-through.html <br><br>I can't/won't agree with the author's conclusion that the Rangers seem "destined" for the Series again ("destiny" usually involves "magic" and all that., of which there's been a notable lack this year, no Bengie Molina cycle or Josh Hamilton capping off Dead Fan week with a walkoff upper deck blast), but this is as good a look as I've yet seen (and outside the local media, the only look I've seen) at what kind of season it's been as far as dealing with injuries, and to which I can only add that the stat-heads and such get all boogedybooped about Ron Washington's decisions and stuff, but hell, Wash has managed this team through all this as well as anybody could, if not better. If it were just about numbers, hell, that's business, not life. Michael Young's fallen off a cliff this year? Yep. Bench Michael Young? No, because you're playing with humans, not statistical simulations. A manager who doesn't have a good read on his team's psyche/intangibles/etc will be named Bobby Valentine &amp; end up likewise. <br><br>That, and that Jon Daniels is the kind of GM that just makes you want to say "thank you". The young man does his homework and plays his game as well as the players have come to play theirs. Success or failure in the crapshoots be damned, for day-to-day effort/results, what more can you realistically ask for?
  13. Because the news cycle was longer than 24 hours back then?
  14. In time, I'll be able to get him the hookup for this lady:
  15. I'm serious about looking for an old Changeable Charlie set, though. Just sayin', if you come across one in good enough shape for 15-20 bucks or so, put me in touch with the seller, ok?
  16. Cookie Lavegetto Cookie Rojas Felipe Alou (whose real surname was Rojas, but that's been covered here already).

  18. Ok, a type of industrial film. Great stuff!
  19. Had a look, wasn't sure that I NEEDED it, already having some similar musics in various forms, but sure as hell WANTED it, so I ordered it & have been playing it for the last two days, enjoying it very much every step of the way. I can map almost all of it back to some seminal "name" sources, but there's the odd thing here and there that seems so totally local as to be stunningly revelatory, and I say that as somebody who's spent a fair number of Sundays listening to local 15-minuite live broadcasts from local storefront churches where things got quite local, if you know what I mean. So, yeah. Recommended with no reservations whatsomever.

    Very nice.
  21. Speaking of toys...I've started lloking for a reasonably priced Changeable Charlie set (Haslam edition preferred,as it's what I had as a kid). If you know of one, let me know. I want the box too, complete. Doesn't have to be in great shape, just complete. I want to have a Changeable Charlie face by my side to match my mood for the day.

  23. Oh HELL yeah!
