That little tiny bit of music cred that was still left after the "Sting Fan Club" post? Gone.

Good chance for a plug Ollie. If you need good face value Sting + Annie Lennox tickets for Boston, Pittsburgh, Sacramento or Nasvhille, please let me know.

Fucker.

Ohh, yeah. Good one. Which reminds me, didn't Hal McRae completely lose it once when he was manager of KC?

Hal & Brian McRae - that brings back a whole fun baseball era. So let's play the "whatever happened to Oil Can Boyd" game.

I'll start by throwing a bone out to the Yankee contingent:
Cecilio Guante and Lee Gutterman.

A contestant in The Bachelor explains her side in an email circulating among Texas GAs:

I have to put a disclaimer on the last episode I am on. The entire time the producers were trying to get me to kiss him. I kept saying no, that if he wanted to, he would and I can tell he doesn't like me. I could TELL he did not like me AT ALL. I am assuming the producers told him to act more like he liked me because then all the sudden, he started gushing on our "one-on-one's" saying all this really really sweet stuff and he had his arm around me, etc. (they were trying to get me to say I thought I would get a rose because every time they asked me, I said "no, I do not think I will get a rose because I can tell he does not like me). SO later that night, the producers said when we all got out of the hot tub "Jess, you need to talk to Jesse right now. And listen, he has already kissed five girls. There are 6 roses. You really need to step it up and be affectionate and try to kiss or something because if not, you will probably go home." So, I thought the most benign thing I could do was just be affectionate and kind of rub his arm and chest and stuff when we were talking. I did that for like 20 seconds. So from the previews, I am apparently the girl that "went too far. . . " and he said "the way she was touching me weirded me out. . . " PLEASE! Like half the girls had already made out with him. The day before they went to a spa and they gave him a massage. And this is the same guy that said "I want to get married because I am sick of waking up to strange faces every morning." (which grossed us all out). So they made me do that for drama, but please. I can understand, "she took off her clothes in front of me and it weirded me out" or "she grabbed my package and that was a little strange. . " but I like rubbed his arm. That is SO dumb. They even have pictures of it on the photo story-line thing. And everyone already knows how they got me to cry at the end. (I turned my back to the camera) and that is on there too. They made me cry by insulting me - saying "who will ever want to marry you?" and "you were very honest about all the other girls being prettier than you. How does it feel to know you were right?" and "what is wrong with you that you get rejected all the time?" So of course I started crying. But they won't show them saying that. They will only show me crying. But just know I was NOT crying over him.

So I had to put a disclaimer on the rest of the show so you won't think I am nuts and explain what really happened. I am hoping no-one will watch it. I most certainly am not watching it.

Caught in the act!

After the party, I shot him an email and invited him to lunch. .. He called to pick one [date] and then picked the time and the restaurant before I could tell him that we would be having lunch at my club (so as to avoid the awkwardness of who picks up the check).... Do I pick [the check] up? Do I offer? Do I insist? Do you care?

You pick up the check because you issued the invitation so you are the host. (This would also be true if it were a romantic date, though no one seems to know that.) Of course, the host picks the restaurant (unless soliciting guest suggestions), dunno what he was thinking there, but it indicates that he does not in fact know the correct etiquette of the situation and therefore will likely try to pick up the check, either on an "I'm the guy" or "I picked the restaurant" rationale.

Insist on getting it, with the statement "it was my idea, I invited you, I insist." If he insists 3 times, let him get it with the statement "next time it's my turn - I'll take you to my club!"

Dear Shape Shifter:

Our controversial anti-racism stance is certain to provoke this type of response from the pro-racism contingent. I urge you to stand firm, for it takes true courage to stick with one's conscience even if doing so is unpopular or not politically expedient.

Your brother in anti-racism,

The Flower

Fuck you, fucking anti-American commie liberal terrorist traitors. You are fools for not realizing that the towel-heads and the darkies are all out to take your wives, sisters, mothers and daughters and make them sex slaves who are beaten for expressing their love to Jesus Christ our savior.

Friday! Yay!

Is this just a bad picture, or is he a less-than-attractive guy? He looks like some sort of rodent-man. I'm not sure which rodent. Maybe rat, with a pinch of beaver and a dash of weasel thrown in. Anyway, not such a good look.

Also, is he wearing pants? She's the one who should be weirded out, stuck on camera with a naked rat-beaver-weasel man.

Dear The Flower,

I'm afraid we have much work to do. Thank you for your courageous showing of support.

Putting the 'hood in brotherhood,

Tortoise is cool, but may not be your kind of thing. Not much in the way of lyrics/singers, and not really rocking. That said, I heard one of their new songs today on the radio (!!) and it put me in a good mood. Why do you ask?

They are in town this weekend/ Along with Bill Rancic of the Apprentice at some place called H2O.
