Grab me at the Keller show and I'll tell you how my girl and I survived 3 years of it. 3 years. And now we live together. And wish we long distance again (ha,ha)

Insert Brokeback Mountain joke here

I've called it before, but Sands is going to be the man who's going to write the Rock Scully-esque expose of Phish. For sure. They beat him like a rented mule.

So NOW we know who was sleeping with Waters wife during that infamous phone call part of the Wall...

Still not sold, especially on the new one.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to visit in person on the holidays but the happiest of days, Cat-Phish!

Na na na na NA na...na na

Say it's your birthday.

Have a good one.

YES!!!!!!!

The magic mitten was the minty mayhem that fueled my table dancin soul as the dawn broke. Their loss, my gain.

Bravo Shredder for an intelligent explaination of why you are parcipating in the electoral process. I too struggle with federalism, but at the end of the day when it comes down to it, I cannot in good conscience open the door to allow a party into power that will reverse any of the social progress we've made as a nation. Do not be fooled. The conservatives are a values based party. Many of their supporters will see this election as a signal to push their regressive ways back into the Canadian consciousness.

Interesting as well your response in regards to what you were doing today. How's a Conservative government going to treat the pot smokers of Canada?

Truly, you have made some extremely vaild points. And at the end of the day, it's sounds like you want a Conservative minority, which is fine with me as its powers will be restriced. My fear is that this need for "cleaning up" the bureaucracy will lead to what happened in Ontario, a Conservative Majority, so full of itself and its master plan that it truly separated itself from the voice of the people , laid out laws with almost a complete disregard for the common good and the social contract, and in the end, left its citizens worse off than when they were found. My fear is 8 eights of conservative government and it may begin in less than 2 weeks time.

Scottieking IN! Anybody going to BSS the next night. Great T.O. music weekend!

Hey Tooly, bring that cheque! Predated Aug 14/03....

Wow. Long time since we've seen one of these. Welcome to the board. This place will open new doors for sure. Dig in and don't be shy.

I still don't get King Crimson.

I was a little late to the party on Tom Waits. I didn't really discover him until about 5 years ago. I just knew he was the "I don't want to grow up" A teacher I worked with lent me Rain Dogs and Nighthawks at the Diner and from there it was love and muchos respect.

Score at the half:

Jack Layton: Suffering from the "look at me, look at me" syndrome. I can't see him as prime ministrial until he shaves the mustache. Then he would look like Patrick Stewart and that I can get behind.

Giles Duceppe: What's the Bloc Platform again? Separation? Right. Next.

Paul Martin: Jesus, he looks punch-drunk. Sputtering and stuttering his way to a loss. Fact: Paul Martin is not the philosopher king I so desperately crave.

Stephen Harper: Somebody been coaching this guy. He's rocking back and forth like Stevie Wonder. He can barely stay in frame. Still, looking like the best option for a leader for the majority of Canadians. Just not me.

Fuck I would love someone to grow a pair of balls and call a spade a spade. Aren't these guys media savy enough to know that Canadians aren't watching anyway? You are going to get a minority government no matter what. Say something wacky, say something off script. GIVE ME DRAMA!!!!!

How now, brown cow?

Scottieking got a 30g Ipod Video for Christmas!

Now I need your help to make me an instant expert. Any and all hints on:

organinization

tricks

cool podcasts

will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting you say that Tooly. That's exactly why I bought it. I own the tapes (worn through and through), I've burned so many Phish shows (shameful, lots of the "released" SBD) and for once, I thought I'd treat myself to the prestine pure unadulterated joy of one of my top 5 shows from this band.

It is that good.

It is enough to give you hope.

First, Republicans criticize the war (and the Prez)

Next, the new Patriot bill doesn't pass

Then the gov't gets busted for a potential violation of American privacy

And now this Arctic Wildlife

Do we dare to dream for the impeachment?

Wait, President Cheney? Insert shiver here.

Man, Trey looks super-healthy in that shot. Mike however....

curiousity - what did you pay? I saw it for 39.99 last night but it's got to be cheaper somewhere.

I dunno. There's just something about his style and gall and forthrightness that is everything I want in a politician.

Too bad he's playing for the wrong team.

Duceppe is to Canadian politics as Hasek is to Team Canada.

AD

To all of these things, I agree. Let's celebrate our impass with some sort of rye whiskey. New Year's perhaps? 6 year anniversary of the voyage of the Great Starship Harpua?

My problem with the Bloc as a national party is I can't respect anyone with such a limited platform (not just the Bloc; Marijuana, Natural Law, Christian Reform). AD, elected he may be, and I will give him the same props as you for this brilliant political move.

But to what end, federally? I flirt with regionalism at times but in my heart I am a federalist. If he truly wanted his end goal, truly believed in his cause, then he would have stepped down, led the PQ, and fired up the referendum. Instead he continues this parliamentary cock-block to effective governence. I repeat, besides representing the disenfranchaisment of his province, what good does this party hold for any Canadian or really to a Quebecker? No real change.

I'm loving Duceppe as a politician right now. Not for what he stands for with regard to separation, but he's very good with his words and reasoning. (Minus the gay rights / referendum thingy)

AD

He's smooth, but he can afford to be. There is no downside, no consequences to his actions save for a provincal/nationalist agenda. Duceppe and the Bloc don't want the job. I want to start a party called the "I don't really want to lead the country and its citizens, I just to be able to criticize the party's that are trying to do so" When has the Bloc tabled one piece of legislation that has brought about a better way of life for Quebecois or anyone? Good speaker, yes. Beat Martin, probably. Unfair advantage, absolutely.
