And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Willie Ã…lexander

When did he get the ring above the A? Is that like a Boston Knighthood?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's a halo. He's the Sainted Willie Alexander now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, it's where you attack the little hook to turn his name into a Christmas tree ornament.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It was the decade of the beard.

A point brought up every time I buy something at Amoeba.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Huh. I missed reading about that when it happened. Still, it's the New Year's Eve part that gets me as much as the Pops thing.

Last year I saw her on New Year's Eve at Bowrey Ballroom. Well, it was early New Year's Day as it started at 2:00 am.

I rang in the New Year its self by nearly knocking over a just-tattooed Andy Hurley and getting a (granted, chaste) kiss from one of the Fuck City boys. This immediately rendered me a Scene Kid though I am neither scene nor a kid.

Top 10 emotionally disturbed Christmas songs

4. "Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas," John Denver

The title of this one pretty much says it all. Not a lot of gray area there. Other contenders for this slot in the top ten: "Deck the Wife," "Hark the Fuckin' Kids Are Cryin'" and "Let's Do Meth! Let's Do Meth! Let's Do Meth!"

Ann, that's a ferret.

I have to disagree with this entry from the list tommyrot linked:

7. "I'll Be Home for Christmas," Bing Crosby, etc.

It came out during World War II, when "I'll be home for Christmas/If only in my dreams" had a lot of meaning for a lot of people. Soldiers, people who'd left their homes to work in war plants, and their loved ones -- covers a lot of people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Lame list. There's a long tradition of really messed up xmas songs with titles like "Christmas Eve in Jail" etc.

They didn't even include "Somebody Stole My Santa Suit."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Lame list.

With even lamer commentary.
