I hear they've revamped some of their new songs to better reflect where they are in life...some of the titles...

Why is this wookie so happy? He just went down on Barney the dinosaur!

Sounds like a theme used throughout time. There is a kid at my high school who has red hair and is shunned by fellow students. Is that "racist"?

Sounds like you had a hairorrist threat at your high school...scary...

Speaking of Hanukkah celebrations, as I approached the corner of Bathurst and Bloor the other night, I heard some seriously loud music being pumped out...I couldn't identify it, nor could I tell where it was coming from.

Once I got to the corner, I saw that it was coming from a giant RV, full of hassidic Jews (the hats & the curls? is that right?) rockin' out. Hannukah man, in the Hannukah van, spreadin' the joy.

right on, sorry to sound so abrupt, I was surly last night!

Rock on with your surly self!

(Say "surly self" 5 times fast...it ain't easy..)

I have a confession to make re: "Diesel Dog"...every time I see, hear or talk about Diesel Dog, I sing (loudly) "Diesel Dawwwwwwg" to the tune of "Fever Dog" from Almost Famous.

Question?

If you don't do Christmas may I ask if you don't do other holidays as well?

I can't think of one that hasn't been commercialized....

Valid question...

The only "holidays" I celebrate are birthdays. And though Hallmark does what they can to get their share of the birthday business, a birthday can be celebrated in any fashion or manner one likes.

I strongly believe its important--and I embrace the opportunity--to say, "I'm so happy you were born!" to those near & dear to me. I can't think of a better cause to celebrate than the day someone you love was born...

Though, come to think of it, I do celebrate St. Patrick's Day...with its sole dedication to getting sh!t-faced and my Irish heritage, how can I not???!

Eek..I have severe allergies to WD...if I don't take my antiwooktamines, I can't even function...

If I lived in Ottawa, I would soooo do this....

Good luck!!!

As soon as he brings up the subject, tell him you will suck his cack for a thousand dollars.

bahahahahahahha....

*shudder*

The notion of my boss's "cack" is just too disturbing to contemplate any further..I need to go wash out my mind's eye with soap..thanks a lot!

The Jewish thing doesn't always work, anyway. Take it from a Jew Boy with a poinsettia currently sitting in his office!

Don't eat it--it's poisonous!

I don't do Christmas.

I don't shop, I don't give cards, I don't want any gifts.

I have many reasons, one of which is my disdain of the commercialization of the holiday--not that I have any disrespect for people who do celebrate (in whatever form they choose), but I choose not to participate.

Why is it that some people just can't respect this decision?

That's not my real question, that was rhetorical.

My real question is: I have a new boss this year (since January). My old boss was great and totally got where I was coming from (though he got around my "rules" by buying me gifts and giving them to me in January and calling them "Gifts of Appreciation".) So how do I broach this with my new boss?

Funniest answer wins a prize!!

FYI, I just don't think he'd believe me if I said I was Jewish...

There was a time in my life when I didn't like Dark Star...

I confessed this once to a someone (while we were at a Merl Saunders show at the Zone, incidentally) that I hated Dark Star and he, without hesitation, immediately slapped me across the face.

I know now that it was whole-heartedly deserved.

I'll just carry hemp & the stones around with me from now on, just in case. ::

Hemp & The Stones...good band name...

Picture them in their underwear.

This often causes more problems than it solves....

But best of luck regardless!!! ::

Did he also yell out 'PICASSO MOON'

::

Hmmm..I thought he was yelling "Booche makes me swoon", but I might have misheard...?

I have a bunch of stones that used to be on a hemp necklace (it succumbed to a righteous death a while back, in a frayed & sticky mess, as hemp is wont to do after excessive wear & tear).

In any case, I'd like to have a new necklace fashioned out of these stones.

I don't have time to teach myself a new craft, what with all the knitting, crocheting and stamp collecting I have going on at the moment, so I'm wondering if we have any resident hemp artisans?

If so, please let me know what you'd charge to fashion up a new pretty necklace.

Thanks!

Okay, they're fat and they're cats--what's not to like?

How rarely they play outside the GTA.

Aloha,

Brad

Don't you realize how hard it is for cats as fat as they are to get around? I mean, all they want to do is lie in the sun and eat tuna (and who can blame them?)

ya but some idiot yelled out play something that doesnt suck again... i wouldnt even listen to the recording... well, of course i would... someone has to shut that guy up damn!

I think the goal was to perpetually pour beer down his throat to keep him quiet, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Nice, with a few naughty marks. Neatness needs improvement. Behavior has been good sometimes, not so good other times. Manners could still use some attention. Was very nice last Monday."

Oh, Santa, you know me so well...oh and fu©k you! How dare you question my manners??!

A friend of mine tried K for the first time at "Terrapin Station" (Alpine Valley '02).

Me: So what's K do for ya?

Him: It. Makes. You. Fuuuuuuuucked. Uuuuuup.

Me: What?

Him: I'm a baby! Goo-goo! Ga-ga!

That was enough to make me never want to try it...

...Moe-Ottawa...walking back from side street with Free range and Carla....hmm wheres Carla? Look back to see her pulling off her mittens and giving them to street lady....F.R. then tells me this isn't unusual...street people over Ottawa are adorned in Carlas winter gear....

Sweety pie. ::

This helps explain to me why it was love at first meeting when I met this bodascious couple at Canada day, 40 main.

I just wanted to add (((Kev))) (((Carla)))....

I miss you guys!

Love,

Julia

they'll only get part of the way here before they get separated from all of us

good to see ya freerange...

hehehehe--Good one, POG!

Definitely call if you'll be in town--you guys have my number!!

Hey Kev!

I got a heads-up from Basher that you were looking for me so I stopped by.

Not sure about the Neil Young tribute thing...I don't know anything about that band, and if they're not really good, it's bound to be sacrilegious.

I got a lovely card from you & Carla yesterday--thanks! I love mail that's not asking for my money!!
