And apropos of hockey, Mogilny + Lady Byng? I'm sure she is spinning in her grave.

Good grief, I coulda sworn it was a Leaf. Whoops.

Well, Alex is Not Claude (Lemeiux), but I kind of doubt that anyone on Toronto engages in anything that could be called "gentlemanly play."

Perhaps it's some kind of joke -- isn't he the one whose wife is allegedly sleeping with a teammate?

I read somewhere recently that wrist size is a better indicator.

I would have taken it to mean that he's handy around the house or good with tools. HA! Maybe he's good at handling that big package. Maybe he should just date himself?

If he's also yapping about his appreciation for wine, I think the "great hands" thing is definitely bragging about sexual skills. He's sophisticated and knows that women need more than just having his big dick shoved into them and pumping away -- they need to be stroked, etc. etc.

If he'd said "great with his hands" and talked about living on a ranch or something, I'd think he meant handy around the house.

Will you videotape any date with this pretentious-sounding guy and run it here? With faces appropriately digitally altered, of course.

And either he doesn't perform oral sex or he thinks it's crass to say "great tongue."

More to the point, what else besides berating can you do to turn me on?

I'm having a hard time getting my mind around this subtle distinction of what's "classy" and what's not.

And as to whether I'll provide details of any dates with this guy, absolutely!! But something tells me we won't make it that far.

I think this guy sounds like he would be more than willing to give you an in-depth explanation of what's class and what's not.

I was implying that you should date him, not because he's dateable, but for our amusement. Be More Selfless.

Bobbleheads gone bad.

If you want/need one they are available at www.eonline.com.

I just don't get the whole Anna Nicole thing.

I had quaint childhood memories of the original nodders. The dogs in the car, the cute, generic, figurines. Now they are everywhere. I'm off to search for a site for "make your own bobbleheads", they woudl make great cake toppers for my brother's upcoming nuptials.

Yes, he would get the joke.

-----------------------
That was easy surfing. Only $1000 for one bobblehead.

Some of our men and women in uniform made sure that they would be as loose and tension-free as possible. Online orders of adult merchandise from American military personnel abroad surged before and during the war in Iraq.

Good thing they weren't serving in Alabama.

The blonde kind of reminds me of the hooker in Fargo.

I was browsing at "Organized Living" tonight, when "Mr. Roboto" came on the P.A. system (after dining across the way from David Spade and Julie Bowen at 'Madame Wu's at the Grove'). Question: Why is it that when he sings, "I am the modern man," Dennis DeYoung pronounces it, "I am the mod-ron man?" Where does Kilroy Was Here rank among the great concept albums in rock history?

Saturday
Because of a partner (who will remain anonymous until he gets wacked), I miss the following groups: the Donnas, NERD, and some others that I don't care about.

The Hives keep my interest for a little while, mostly to see if the fat bass player clad in black will make it through the set without keeling over from heat stroke. I decide to walk to the next stage.

Kinky is moving a small crowd (which is no mean feat when it's near 90 degrees). They're a Latin rock dance band. I'd listen longer, but I'm far too tired to dance, and the sound is (unintentionally?) distorted.

I visit the DJ tent for the first and only time of the day. Felix da Housecat has convinced a number of people that its 1985. They all seem glad of it. This seems to be the largest crowd in the DJ tent of the day. I declare him the winner.

I've seen Badly Drawn Boy in concert before. For some reason, he's wearing a knit cap in a crowded tent in the desert. His pre-song banter seems designed to make the crowd smaller, so I trudge off. Buy the album, skip the live show.

Peanut Butter Wolf's crew has a small audience in the Rap tent. This tent has the smallest audences for the weekend.

I've seen Blur before, and I watch them for a while before negotiating the Food Court. (Try the Indian food.) All of the groups just seem to be making time for the main acts of the night.

Queens of the Stone Age take the main stage. They play "No One Knows" fairly early in their set. It's a catchy single, but most of their stuff is 10 times harder. Even with earplugs, I'm moving on.

Talib Kweli and the Black Eyed Peas both have decent sets, but I'm not putting my hands in the air or waving them like I just don't care until you get the rest of the crowd into it. Both seem unable to do so, so I get restless.

Ladytron was one of those overhyped electoclash groups that I wanted to see before the hype ended. The tent seemed to have more people like me (interested but wary) rather than true fans. sample lyric: "They only want you when you're 17, when you're 21, you're no fun." Of course, it's "sang" in a deadpan manner. Two things redeemed Ladytron. First, they had some video playing on the monitor that seemed to portray a dance contest in the classroom of a German all-girls school. Second, the ladies of Ladytron proved that they had a sense of humor and were willing to actually care about a song by covering Tweet's "Oops, (Oh my)." Don't bother with the album, but Ladytron doesn't suck.

I see part of Ben Harper's set, but notice the swarm of people going to the second stage. Before the concert, I wondered aloud to a friend why Blue Man Group was the only act to play both nights, and why they were on the bill at all. I was pleasantly surprised. They had the most elaborate production of the night, with a video monitor, elaborate lighting, a full backing band, and the usual cluster of found percussion. They brought Tracy Bonham along to sing lead on a few songs. The concept of having the audience perform standard rock concert moves "Number 1: the one-armed fist pump" was a nice comment on the whole festival thing. Plus, they got the crowd into their set, and they actually rocked.

One tent was drastially behind schedule because of technical problems, so I started watching the Beastie Boys while waiting for Groove Armada. Str8 was right...the set was uninspired, though I liked the DJ intro (no one else seemed to care much). After a couple of songs, I went across the Polo Fields to see Groove Armada. I noticed that a handful of people were watching Gomez. Groove Armada started with a bunch of down-tempo numbers with a crowd that was hoping to shake their asses to the "I see you baby" song. They should have changed their set to accomodate them, especially since their set got cut because of the technical problems.

The Winner of the First Night was Queens of the Stone Age. While Beastie Boys had the largest audience by far, they were a disappointment.

I'll save Sunday for a separate post.
