"....cause I gotta degree!"

Nicely done, moe.ron. Enjoy the life before the urge to actually use the damn piece of paper kicks in!

Let's see we've covered Robbins, good, good

Vonnegut, excellent

Hunter S., Prayer for Owen Meany, Heartbreaking Work, Eco, all would have been highly recommended by me

So what have we missed?

2. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenace - Robert Persig

3. I just can't stress Tom Robbins enough - JITTERBUG PERFUME!

4. Ken Folliet - The Pillars of The Earth

5.Timothy Findley - Not Wanted on the Voyage

Currently reading...Welcome to the MonkeyHouse - Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

PS. Did I mention Tom Robbins?

PSS Did I mention I'm home sick today and the Neo Citrin may have taken over?

It was mine. It may have been yours. It's a great starting point for any newbie.

4/16/92

From there, I'd be interested to see where you go.

Surrender to the phlow.

O.V.

heeheehee....

no seriously,

50

Booorrrrnnnn Free!

Ride, Gentlemonkey. Ride to the mountains. Make sure to steal as many office supplies as you can for the long trip. Embrace life away from the desk. The Sanctuary will be here when you get back. Whatever you do, take care of your shoes.

good luck lads!

That's right, it's been awhile so let's visit each other's CD players and see what's been spinning...

BNB 3/28/02 - Bu-bye, bu-bye, bu-bye

Trey Anastasio Solo Debut - makes me "horny" for June (get it? Horny? I kill me)

Badly Drawn Boy/About a Boy Soundtrack - Weirdo music I'm strangely drawn to (whoops, more bad pun) By the way, hold up a picture of Gentlemonkey and this guy...the same, non?

GD 6/18/74 - one of my first tapes recently acquired from gdlive - my first taste of Loose Lucy and BRUTAL Donna in Weather Report

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Scottieking special Mix - includes some tracks from the new one Plastic Fang

(+ Gomez- In Our Gun, ND 5/17/01, and a sizable Stones kick lately - today, Goat's Head Soup)

Bring the noize!

Sure does! Got the chance to have an extended conversation with him in Toronto a couple of years ago and not only is he a really nice guy, but he's so smooth and well spoken. At one point we were talking about what it was like in front of 90,000 in Florida and his answer was so well-put. And his voice really does sound like it does on the tapes.

scottieking checkin in early today....

There's only been one car to the car I've had previous to this one (97 Grand Am) and that was...

WHITE LIGHTNING! 1989 Chevy Corsica (1998-2001)

So named from the quote in Dazed and Confused "See White Lightning over there, you gotta get some shoes for this thing, man"

So beloved was this car to me. As the back filled with stickers, the backseat filled with garbage, the trunk with anything you could think of from King Lear to a single piece of firewood,the years piled on. It was faithful as a slot machine. But time and time again, breakdown after accident after winter after summer, it stayed alive. Whenever people called me from afar, they would always ask "How's White Lightning doing?" Some of you have even met her. She's been to tons of shows. But alas, it came time to move on. White Lightning was bleeding three colours and the engine block cracked two years before didn't look like it was going to hang on any longer. I broke it off this past fall, thinking for sure to wreckers she'd go.

UNTIL I driving back from my parents place and lo and behold, on a main street in Walkerton, in the freezing cold, parked but still alive, there she was. Still had my stickers on her, still alive. It made me feel good somehow to know she's still alive, still OK.

But that doesn't mean I don't miss her. Everyday.

maybe I'm showing my age here but...

Dinky Cars! At the beach, making entire cities, Hot Wheels, Matchbox they were great

I used to love my action figures too. Star Wars, He-Man, Super Powers you name it.

With friends, my buddy Todd and I used to spend hours spying on our sisters. Used to love to make mini rivers with the spring run-off in the field and then getting our boots stuck (remember rubber boots?) Massive snow forts. Good times in nature.

I can't believe that was my hundredth post, wasted on Cream of Wheat. But not on the question of the day!

Rubberdingy, you just hit 200. Congrats.

CREAM OF WHEAT!

So fucking gross it practically already is puke.

MarcO -looks like you and I (and monsieur Hamiliton, non) are on a collision course yet again. Detroit Trey, T.O. MMW and the end of the school year spell

Ah Mr. T, you know me too well......

Check the time on this. I'm trying to enter the pool and I'm fully logged in but it's saying my deadline has passed. What gives? Did I miss it(had to hit the driving range on the way home)

sk

I'm in, I'm in, if it's not too late.

Backbacon

You have 2/9/73 on disc? That IS top three for me and I fear my tape (which, by the by, has more than one good story attached to it) ain't gonna make it. I barely play it anymore. If this is true, can ya hook a brotha up? Let me know here or email.

Nice! Londontown and Blues Traveller. I live half a block away from where that's held. Been awhile since I've seen Mr Popper but I really liked the last album - see track 4 - Just for Me

LEFTIES RULE! Got my first tourney next weekend! Personally, I think Goosen's my guy but I'd love to see Els win (and Mickelson, of course, come in second)

I....I.....

Quick. Someone call KITT to do something. Anything!

I wanted to be Spider-man, but it didn't work out (numerous trips to the Bruce Nuclear Power Development yielded ZERO radioactive spiders).

Then I wanted to be a pro musician but I couldn't pick which instrument I liked the best. Never made it bigger than headlining a long weekend in the Bend.

Now, I'm a high school teacher, which come to think of it requires equal parts educator, superhero and rockstar.

Think I'll put that on a business card!

That's a cool article. The speaks a ton of truths throughout. I like the idea of belonging to that mutant tribe!

Summer vacation begins for me with a BANG!!! This is so cool. Now to begin plans to bring everyone to T.O. that day.....

BEGIN!

Turns out I'm an idiot. My DVD player was still hooked up and it was looping the menu from K-Pax.

Pot has no side effects on me.

At all.

Okay ,help!

So I visit the jamhub website to participate in the guess the song of the week thing and now the theme is running over and over and over and over on my computer. What's it playing out of? How do I make it stop?!?!? I've tried everything but turning my computer off!

We have a kitchen?

SO many good one liners and a one, two, you know what to do...
