Supposed to hit 99 this afternoon. Hope the Sears man gets hear and fixes the ac pdq. Hell, it doesn't really matter a whole lot. I don't mind the heat, but the freaking humidity....you can't do anything about.

You sure it's the mocking bird that you're hearing at night, or the bird that the mocking bird mocks during the day? I ain't never heard of a mocking bird mock or do anything at night 'cept roost. I stand corrected[ the horny little devil].

A sick sense of humor, sorta Orson Wellsish.

14 out of 20 right I was paying more attention to the expression they settled into after the smile, rather than the eyes during the smile. The eyes are a give away if you know a person, if not, it's pretty iffy.

Now, here's a man who knows what's important in life. I know, kinda sick ain't it? 'Course, it's basically a good idea to have a bit of a hedge for that mistake you're most likely to make down the road. Anyhow, beings I'm single, 40% on a coupla Shorter CDs, 60% at Dairy Queen.

? ...Wayne Shorter CDs, that is. Dairy Queen is an ice cream chain.

They shouldn't have followed Shorter into "oblivion," should have maintained the inside groove. They could've done this and still kicked for Shorter; silly rhythm section...

"eat more beef" Less meat on those suckers than there was on Katherine Hepburn. Makes me feel like getting dressed and hitting the diner. ...or hitting that virtual smörgåsbord, the roadkill café.

That was one pissed off squirrel.

I agree, buy a couple of Wayne Shorters, but, then go hang out at the local Dairy Queen for a couple of days.

Maynards chops certainly survived their share of abuse. But there was even harsher activity going on on the inside. MF played with a "dry embouchure", meaning that just before he would play he wouldn't lick his lips, he would dry them on the cuff of his shirt. This would give him a good "grip' on the mouthpiece. The combination of that and how his lips pressed on his teeth resulted in him building a callous on the inside of his upper lip. The callous had its own life cycle: There would be a point in the growth of the callous when it would allow MF to play pretty hard all night, but the callous would still be small enough that he could still play with some flixibility and subtlety. As the callous grew, MF would gain endurance, and could really scream all night, but would start to lose the flexibility. THEN, there would be a night when he would be pounding away, and the callous would crack. MF would go back to the hotel after the gig and take a long hot shower, steaming and soaking the callous, then he would...uh...remove the callous! He might mention it on the bus the next day, and that night his power and endurance would be a little down, but he would have tremendous flexibility and suppleness.. And the cycle would begin again... Nasty Buisiness! Great, if somewhat gruesome, story! I heard somewhere that MF had serious dental work done, to boot. That right there has been some guys' excuse for dropping the axe; must be a bitch, like starting from scratch.

Check out Maynard Ferguson's chops for a freak lip, too. Scarring of the lip must be at the top of the list of excuses for giving up the trumpet. Other good ones could be[feel free to add:)]: 1. I didn't have time to practice 2.

JOEY DeFRANCESCO LIVE: THE AUTHORIZED BOOTLEG With Special Guest, GEORGE COLEMAN DeFrancesco's got to be the fastest mofo out there on B3.

That $67.3 mil had to include the cost for an extra set of drawers.

<>How come it comes out so small, it's supposed to be 400 X 300?

While this is definitely better than not watching it at all, I'd highly recommend that if you enjoy the show, that you seek them out on DVD. A&E has edited the shit out of the episodes, and what you are seeing on A&E is really not the way they are meant to be seen. I thought some of the scenes ended or started slightly abrupt, or maybe not smooth transitions. And, the back to back episodes lasted just a little less than one and half hours; even taking into account advertising, that's a little short. All in all it was still damn good.

Proverb of the day Sounds like it came from dodoromeney.

I just started watching Sopranos in syndication on A&E, great show!! [The downside is I don't know what season it is. A&E started running two back to back episodes from scratch last Jan. 10.]

Man, no offense to anyone, but, I'd have to have plenty of herb to watch a bunch of cars go round and round for a couple of hours. The downside is I'd probably be too wasted to catch the last two laps, which is all that really counts anyhow

I don't care how/if inept the Chung family may be, $67.3 million is a bit excessive. What was the judge crying about again? what a wuss.

Wow, I've heard of flying squirrels, but, these seem to really get around.

Hmmm, I wonder if Candy's looking for a husband.....just a thought.

It's the bomb! Especially since I've used rabbit ears for reception all my life. I got the 40 channel Family package, didn't like it, called them and told them, then asked "If I get the next package up, 140 channels and don't like it, can I revert back? The kind lady says "Yes." [The 140 channels pack is on special at $10 less per month for a year, to boot.] Anyhow, I got that, one full year of free insurance/protection, three months of their magazine for free. And, Get This: 3 months of FREE HBO, SHOWTIME and CINEMAX. And, if I go back to the Family Pack after a month, I get to keep the Free HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. Oh joy, oh joy.
