Wow--Stennie, you're giving a deposition? Does that mean you got subpoenaed? Subpenuhed? Subpenised? Aw, hell, I don't know how to spell it! I hate all aspects of the law. I got illegally sued for an alleged back debt that was time-barred (did you know there's a statute of limitations on debt?) and because I thought the legal system would protect me, I didn't get a lawyer and then I lost. So, I hate anything court-related, though my disabled rights lawyer father-in-law gets a pass because he sues to protect the rights of people.
Oh and I didn't mention anything about the HB merch because I forgot, but I am curious just what such merch would look like. I'd probably be good for a T-shirt. I drink mostly corporate coffee these days (comes with a cup) so I wouldn't ever use a HB mug.
Why was this week's ep all Jack Bennyish? I think I missed something.
Also, am I being invited to take part in the CD mix challenge? If so, damn, I'm going to have to go buy some blank CDs since I haven't burned an audio CD in years. :| I've had an iPod since 2003...BC!! HA! (or not)
I didn't rush out to see "For Your Consideration" because I'm sick of movies about Hollywood. Besides, I felt like "Guffman" was making fun of Hollywood despite it not taking place there.
I don't think the 7up series should ever end until they're all dead. Watching them drop off like flies would be so fascinating, I think. I'm surprised at least one of them hasn't died already.
I'm with Bet on the minimum wage thing. The rich folks in Washington understand their own raises but not everyone elses. See, when minimum wage is raised it trickles up, at least, isn't that the way it's supposed to work?
Hey, here's a suggestion for topic of the week: What's your most and least favorite product slogan ever?
Mine is a slogan I read on a bottle of diet Dr. Pepper that I picked up in the UK. I shit you not, it said: "What's the worst that could happen?" That's both my most and least favorite slogan because it cracks me up.
That's it from me! Great show as always...
OH yeah--and I agree about blogger--damn thing almost ate my comment when I logged in...
HA! I love it that this is the Jack Benny episode - and it's an "in joke" that I actually get!
Here I am with my notes in hand, so I'll comment away after many weeks of not being punctual at all. It's hard to comment before Monday. I got used to a schedule.
1. Merch - I'd take a new huge, long-sleeved t-shirt to sleep in to replace the #squeeze one I've worn to death. Or a Slinky. Or a cockring.
2. Stenns, haven't you had a cold for like, a month now?
3. Congrats on the URL! I think your logo should include some kind of martini with an olive with a Hitler mustache and a cartoonish coupla swing dancers.
4. Paul WAS a great singer. He's kinda lost that voice.
5. I'm a bigger fan then The Pete. I'm just saying.
6. Please never compare Elvis to Elton John ever again.
7. Jack had the best "Whoop Whoop" ever.
8. Best in Show is definately #2. Awesome move. Laugh myself silly every time.
9. Speaking of awards, and you were, Betster, I'm sorry Alan got snubbed at the Golden Globes, and I'm really sorry Eddie Murphy got the award he should have gotten.
10. I would like add a Fuck Off - to Barak Obama. Why is he running for President? He has no experience at anything outside of writing books about himself.
11. More than Beckham, I hate Anorexic Spice. Fucking hasbeen wannabe cocksucker.
12. Remove the bottom rung? How about just raise the standard of living? Minimum wage earners will still be scraping by - not to worry.
13. I love the story of Tigger slapping the little boy. I laugh every time they put it on the news.I love Tigger, and I love it that he's getting feisty. Kick some ass, boy!
Idea for city mouse -- dressed in black, sunglasses and ciggie holder a la Holly Golightly.
And let's face it -- Her Majesty also got picked because it was short. I didn't spend a lot of time debating favorite albums -- I also went for an album in my top five that had a shortish ending song.
And your fuckoffs were far more discriminating than mine. I would have stopped at "all the members of congress".
Question -- how much of her fee is Meryl willing to give up to do a smaller film? But I'm still tickled over "she farts, she wins". Tee hee.
1) I hate too hate R.E.M., though that is the favorite band of both the bf and the sister. Ad, I, too, prefer Monster over all the other R.E.M. albums, which I also have been told that real R.E.M. fans don't like. Interesting...
2) I can't remember who was in your original list of great songwriter/good singers. By great songwriters, I assume you mean writers of catchy hooky songs that people remember? Because of that, I'd have to rule out Kate Bush, whose songs I love, but who I wouldn't characterize as writer of those kinds of songs. Of course, since I'm on a Lovin Spoonful kick right now, I'd suggest John Sebastian, back when he wrote those memorable songs and had that beautiful and pure voice, which he doesn't have anymore. I can't remember who said Paul McCartney, but I agree with whomever said that. Did someone already say June Carter Cash, though I really only know the one song of hers. However, I don't think you can reject Smokey Robinson, just becuase he's generally considered more of a singer. Those were some great songs he wrote.
Hey ladies - I love all the old outtakes in between you guys. Allow me to giggle again - hee, hee!
1) Hucklebug Merchandise
a) oh, I definitely think you need a screen saver/desktop type scheme thing
b) bumper sticker
c) coffee mug
2) LOGO idea
a) Use letters B and S
b) Use letters H and B in a creative manner
c) I might mention - while I am musical - I am not artistic in any way!
3) Stennie - sorry you are sick - I had the "crud", as my mom calls it, for 2 weeks. It even went to my eye. I haven't had pink eye in years and years. I had to visit a doctor (while out of town for a job interview) on a sunday morning where she casually told me I needed to stay away from the general public for 24 hours. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!! This was hours before the dinner that was to start 2 days of interviewing. Needless to say, I've probably infected a section of Denver with the disease - I hope that didn't make its way over to you!
4) Stennie - egads!!! Sorry about the deposition - that sucks. Really sucks!
5) I've skipped last week because I was gone - so I still need to catch up. But - this week - you guys were great. Keep up the good vibes!!
I forgot to say AWESOME IDEA to get the domain name!
You should get a myspace page and a LiveJournal and... and...
SHOOT ME NOW!
Oh yeah and, Michelle, Obama is running with no experience at because he can't POSSIBLY screw things up as bad as Bush has. Bush had virtually no experience, too.
