[hi less!!!]Where Everyone Knows Penske's Socks Don't Suck[/hi less!!!]!!!

[ltl/fb]

Dreamed (in part) about seeing dolphins swimming around in a lighted (lit?) pool (like a swimming pool) at night, and then they were jumping out of the water so I could pat them. Part of an otherwise pleasant dream that also featured RT and a sister or two, having an impromptu party and being very helpful.

I thought this was photoshopped, but it's from imdb.com:















sorry, coltrane, you had one slash too many, but it still doesn't work.

Thanks for trying, RP.

Interesting.

'In 1996, Madeleine Smithberg and Lizz Winstead created a fake news show for Comedy Central. It was intended to be a caustic parody of infotainment-laden television news programs.

"When we were developing the show, we wanted to reveal, as they did in Broadcast News with William Hurt and Ted Baxter [on The Mary Tyler Moore Show] that these people, these [news anchors], are merely shells of the people who work really hard and give them the info behind the scenes."

The host of the show, Craig Kilborn, was a pretty boy from Minnesota, by way of ESPN. One of the original correspondents, Beth Littleford, remembers him as being "dumb as wood." Which might explain why Kilborn thought it was a good idea to piss off one of the show's executive producers during an Esquire interview:

"There are a lot of bitches on the staff, and, hey, they're emotional people. You can print that! You know how women are -- they overreact. It's not really a big deal. And to be honest, Lizz does find me very attractive. If I wanted her to blow me, she would."

Years later, Beth Littleford would respond in an interview with the Toronto Sun: "NO one would give the man a blowjob! NO one who was in their right mind who was not on drugs or under coercion would give the man a blowjob! That's my opinion."'

Looks like she won to me.

My bad. I was thinking of Lizz Winstead, who was actually the best thing about the early Daily. Beth Littleford had a co-starring role on a sit-com with Harry Anderson, based on the life and writing of Dave Barry.

I had a dream that I was frolicking on a nude beach in the South of France with a gorgeous former soap opera actress and a very hot imaginary internet friend.

(No, I was not pregnant in the dream and the internet friend was not Penske.)

The dolphins represent prisoners trying to escape. You want to have contact with them, but keep them in the pool (prison).

That's possibly your best material ever. Except for the blowjob post. But the bj post shouldn't really count, since you were writing what you know.

I would have to say Nirvana. People I know who generally have no patience for grunge/alt like Nirvana, myself included.

Pearl Jam and Soundgarden sucked. Any chance I had of ever liking them was killed by Houston radio, which played nothing but Tejano, country, bad club/dance music and a format that I like to call "All Pearl Jam All the Time."

Jane's addiction has never really done anything for me, except for their first commercially successful single. As for the Pumpkins, they are one of the few reasons I have for sometimes wishing I lived somewhere other than Chicago.

Pearl Jam is solid. Not great; not bad.

Soundgarden has some classics. Badmotorfinger is a fantastic record. So is Superunknown.

The Pumpkins have some great records, but they could have been a lot better if they had a singer. Corgan is the worst voice in rock. They sound great live, if you can ignore his yelping.

I think over time, of all of them, STP will wind up being most most widely copied and played. They were not the Grand Funk of Grunge, as people claimed. They have the strongest mainstream song collection of the decade.

I wonder if Owen squeezes the come out of his nose after he has a morning quicky?

I was thinking about this over the weekend. Of the following, whose work do you think has held up the best?

Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
Jane's Addiction
Smashing Pumpkins

I think it's Jane's Addiction in a rout. No contest. I'm putting Ritual de lo Habitual on my "top five most meaningful albums to me" list (along with Let's Dance, Lion and the Cobra, Doggystyle, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot). But I'm genuinely curious what other people have to think.

Five most meaningful albums to me is a different list that five greatest albums of all time, except for Spingsteen's Born to Run, which is on both lists. On the most meaningful, The Beatles' White Album replaces Sgt. Pepper's. Cowboy Junkies, The Trinity Session is on there. Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon and Bob Marley, Legend round out the list.

The internet friend isn't real? You imagined him (her)? Isn't that a little redundant?

You really have to stop this -- Thurgreed is already insufferable enough as it is.

Oh, and did you drink champagne on a yacht in this dream?

What if you were on a deserted island that had and endless supply of D batteries for your portable CD player?

NotBob, just because you think Thurgreed is King, does not mean everyone else does.

Roxy music's 4th. You'd need stoke material and the cover is really good.
