...and can I stand up in front of the stage holding my lighter in the air yelling for "Free Bird"? I am *so* there!!

They were good for absolutely nuthin'. huh? I'd say it again, y'all....

The "mental" shaking of ass occurs only when one is participating in an activity where actual shaking of ass just might not be a good idea at the time, eg. while driving. Otherwise, it's just gonna happen.

Lowrider = always makes me stop what I'm doing and take a moment to shake my ass, at least mentally.

Oh! It's War "Me and Baby Brother" edited for typo.

To help anyone who'd like to try to figure it out, here's a link to the episodes on NBC.com. Click on "Fairway, My Lady" to see the scene. Click

I love the 60's Motown feel on Amy's latest, especially "Addicted" and "Tears Dry On Their Own".

Much better to sit in front of a computer all day and all night....

There's no such thing as too much trombone!

I love him.... this is so sad! I remember that bit and also needing to 'come up for air' from laughing so hard. His set-ups were hilariously and intricately circuitous, always ending with the punchline that seems to come out of nowhere. I loved his Showtime specials back in the day. I just can't believe he's gone...

I hear ya... Each time I hear a Boston song, especially from the first record, I can pretty much remember exactly where I was and what boy I had a crush on at that time. My brother became acquainted with him when he and my sister-in-law lived in Danvers Mass in the early 80's. Of Brad he said simply, "he was just a genuinely nice guy who would do anything to help anybody.." His Beatles tribute band 'Beatlejuice' kicks some serious ass, too. Too sad for words.

Who keeps bringing up these old threads!

I can't either...

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite tombonists!

Don't I wish I knew where to find her. This happened almost 15 years ago at a different practice. I have no idea where she is now.

Ditto everything Hot Ptah said. I've worked in Ophthalmology since the first generation multifocal lens was in its trial phase; the practice I was with was one of the principal investigators. I currently work at a practice where our chief surgeon trains other physicians in the technology and technique of multifocal refractive surgery.The most common problem that I have seen over the years with any new technology is when the patient has unrealistic expectations, that their vision will be "perfect" at distance, intermediate, and near, as well as poor patient selection by the physician. While some patients achieve "perfect vision", a lot do not because of pupil size, amount of astigmatism and the patient's personality in general. (One patient's "perfect vision" is another patient's "not acceptable" vision, depending on how they view the world in general) Some lenses correct different focal lengths better than other lenses; some lenses will cause more halos and glare at night because of the size of the optics. I agree that it's imperative that you have your evaluation and surgery done by someone with years of experience who uses the latest wavefront technology. They will be able to assess which lens will be appropriate for your particular visual system, or be able to tell you if you would not be a good candidate, which is, in my opinion, the most important assessment of all. BTW, Hot Ptah, we had a patient who was an artist a few years ago who painted what she "saw" while having cataract surgery. It was some of the most beautiful images/colors/patterns I have ever seen.

I second that!! Happy Birthday Big Al! I hope you have a great day with lots of cake with lots of icing!

Sweet Baby!! that's not a regular chickadee, is it? (inside joke, everybody....)

I hear ya, Lon. For me it's a sister-in-law who is the sister I never had, advanced ovarian Ca. We recently had some good news about what we thought was a metastasis that actually was not, but the roller coaster chemo ride continues. I understand more than you know how it's hard to hope thoroughly and convincingly. But we keep on, one day at a time. You and Mrs. Jazzbo are in my thoughts and prayers.

...and that's pretty how much how I look when I wake up in the morning. Makes me want to shave my head and get tattoos, but do I do it?

Wow....I wonder how/if this will affect his current status. He could have possibly been one of the highest paid free agents out there, but this could change things for him. I dunno, it probably wouldn't faze the Bengals, to name just one club... Perhaps it will be easier for us to keep him, but I really don't think it will affect his free agency status much. He blew a 0.09, (legal limit being 0.08) which is over the limit, nonetheless, but still... He wasn't an asshole when the cops stopped him, didn't wave a gun around, didn't threaten to "kill" someone because they didn't know who he was. Of course I'm comparing him to Jamaal Tinsley (who was just indicted on one felony count and two or three misdemeaner counts), but I'm just saying.... I guess we will see.

yes. He blew a 0.09. In other news Dallas Clark was ejected from his high school alma mater's girls' basketball game for saying something inappropriate to the ref that was "neither threatening nor obscene..." (perhaps along the lines of "you suck"?)

".....plumber's crack..."

Yes, it is a beautiful thing. Monday is my hero. She's gorgeous, vibrant, full of life and creative energy and then some. And she's over 40. As she says on her myspace page, she is " a nice ripe age" but feels she is "still an egg just getting ready to hatch." Couldn't say it better for myself...
