The Chameleon

Does this chick have parents? If not here are 4 easy steps to clean up your image: 1. Stop drinking on weekdays like a sailor on welfare. 2. Put on underwear and a bra and stop letting your cooter hang out like Paris and Britney. 3. Stop airing you private life in public. Keep the media for the acting thing you do. Keep the media out of your tiffs, affairs and all the men you bounce off. 4. Star eating again! You look gross. Only Nicole Richie has you beat.

Is this for real? Are you serious or just being coy?

Agreed anything Jimmy Herring is involved with immediately takes a big step up... P.S. who is in the new Disco Biscuits line up? and why have they only played T.O. once!

Sadly I used to like Panic but I really don't like the direction they've taken musically of late. Really it all fell apart for me when Hausser died. I think the only band right now that I'd follow would be WEEN. They are due for a Canadian date anytime now....

Just a post to say I'm sitting at work listening to a stellar Phish show from 1995 and I'm thinking back to then when I was 18/19 and just getting into Phish and has seen the Dead a bunch of times. Back then the road seemed endless and I couldn't wait to make plans for more shows. I remember being truly excited to be a part of the Phish/GD magic and felt at home on tour. I recall how rich the traveling experience was from show to show. I can also recall the joy of seeing rare songs in a setlist, at a concert that I attended. I remember those times (1994-1999) felt special. Usually it would be this time of year where me and friends would do a little "winter run" of some shows in upstate NY or beyond.... Now I feel sad that, that excitement is gone, and those experiences put on hold.....nothing seems so special anymore. I long to be excited, about a band/music to the degree that I will drop everything and loose my self on tour in a haze of ticketstubs, Jagermiester, cheap hotels, truck stops and Nitrous... "Who's got my heady winter tour".... that is all.....just had to get that out....

I know, I didn't read on far enough... But if the SLip can have 10+ threads than certainly Stephen Colbert deserves at least 2... I don't know why that is true..but I just feel it to be true.

You could use this.... Stream ripper

A BIG HAPPY B-DAY to U Will Your support, faith, determination and endurance has made many shows in this scene happen. Here's to a million more ! And for god sake's whatever you do....DON'T LOOSE THE SMOOTH!

Agreed! i go tot the vault everyday! Check out the Average White band show they have. Funky as hell! Also the Phil Collins show 1982 is actually really good, even if it makes me feel guilty for listening to it.....

SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts (AP) -- After 12 months of naked partisanship on Capitol Hill, on cable TV and in the blogosphere, the word of the year for 2006 is ... "truthiness." The word -- if one can call it that -- best summed up 2006, according to an online survey by dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster. "Truthiness" was credited to Comedy Central satirist Stephen Colbert, who defined it as "truth that comes from the gut, not books." "We're at a point where what constitutes truth is a question on a lot of people's minds, and truth has become up for grabs," said Merriam-Webster president John Morse. "'Truthiness' is a playful way for us to think about a very important issue." Other Top 10 finishers included "war," "insurgent," "sectarian" and "corruption." But "truthiness" won 5-to-1, Morse said. Colbert -- who once derided the folks at Springfield-based Merriam-Webster as the "word police" and a bunch of "wordinistas" -- was pleased. "Though I'm no fan of reference books and their fact-based agendas, I am a fan of anyone who chooses to honor me," he said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "And what an honor," he said. "Truthiness now joins the lexicographical pantheon with words like 'squash,' 'merry,' 'crumpet,' 'the,' 'xylophone,' 'circuitous,' 'others' and others." Colbert first uttered "truthiness" during an October 2005 broadcast of "The Colbert Report," his parody of combative, conservative talk shows.

Agreed. Fantastic film. Gore really debunks many of the anti-enviroment arguments. And hey even if 10% of what he says is true we a re still in trouble. This film really shows what a good place the US would have been in if Gore won the presidency. I hope he runs in 2008.

OK well Alan Baxter is hillarious!

To the citizens of the United States of America: In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (excepting Kansas, which she does not fancy). Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. ( You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. ) The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise." You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra'; you may elect to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you find you simply can't cope with correct pronunciation. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up "vocabulary"). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. 2. There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize." 3. You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above). 4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only in England. It will be called "Come-Uppance Day." 5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Likewise, guns should also only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun. 6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. 7. All American cars are hereby banned. They are total crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. 8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling "gasoline") -roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it. 9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and the things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar. 10. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers. 11. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as " beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." American brands will be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. 12. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. 13. You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of proper football; you call it "soccer." Those of you brave enough will, in time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the "World Series" for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. 14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. 15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due backdated to 1776. Thank you for your co-operation.

Dude you like Tiesto??!?!??!! Well that explains a tonne.

Their version of Phil Collins' against all odds is killer!

wow this is and early annoucement! I've ehard good things about these guys. Too bad it's so goddamn far! P.S. LITTLE FEAT fianlly they get booked! Why haven't they played like every Bonnaroo already!

So Lilly signed withthe Cubs for 4 years at 10mil a season... good let them overpay!

Agreed. The Slip is a good band, but 7+ threads about it is basiclaly spam at this point. I mean everyone on this board is proabbly going, so who are people trying to promote to? Talk about preaching to the convereted. Someone should start www.canadianslipfan.com. Seems likel there is aegnough to talk about.

Agreed! 70mil for that guy no fuckin' way! Baseball has gotten so out of control to the point that even a pitcher that has 6.00ERA and wins 7 games gets over a mil a year. So outta hand.... Seems funny that back 1979 Nolan Ryan was the first player to be paid 1 million a year by the Astro's and everyone thought that was insane! look at the situation now. Second rate hacks are making triple that no problem. At least Ryan was a future hall of famer and a perrenial 20game winner.

The whole "sit down" thing really burns me. I have travelled all over Canada and the US and theonly place I get told to "sit down" at a high energy show is in Toronto. Whatis the deal??? I mena this has happened to me at Jeff Beck, Phil & Friends andmnay others.. WTF!! The sma eshow in the US everyone is on htier feet from the word go... The older crowd in Toronto needs to loosen up and live a little. It's a big rock show.. P.s. $200 bucks for a severly watered down version of the WHO is waaaaaaaay too much. Highway robbery!

I agree, 10mil a season for Lilly is overpriced. Problem is good pitching is scarce and pricey these days in the league.

Thnaks Santa Bouche. Didn't know you could do that! I use firefox so that's great!

I don't beleive that was the case at all. As far as I heard he was heartbroken afetr being traded from T.O.. He loved this city and set up his family and many foundations for youth here. By the time he got to New York, he had lost his drive and didn't like playing anymore. Which is easy to do given the brutal state of that team at the time. I still say many of the hardship we endured as a team fpr the last few years would have been adverted or eased with JYD's presence. (I assume laughter from Jaimoe will ensue)

How much crack did you guys smoke?

Dear Bouche, I've been really, really good this year and I would like a spellchecker on this board for XMas. I type fast and have to post quick at work and do not have time to proof read my posts. So it would really help. Can you make it happen'? Capitan? Pretty Please!
