The Senator

19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! PosLUSZny!!!!!

Sounds like what you really want is... Mike Leach

Funny, I must have watched a different interview. I thought he said almost nothing about Dallas, except that Kimmel kept asking what happened there and TO kept responding, "I really have no idea." Yet, no matter how hard Kimmel tried to get him to poke fun at Buffalo, TO had nothing but good things to say, i.e., how happy he is to be with the Bills, how much he's looking forward to the season, etc. Perception's a funny thing, I guess - I thought he represented Buffalo and the Bills very well.

Now when was the last time the Bills had someone (TO) with that much celebrity status and who commands that much national attention? (Probably never.) Kimmel introducing TO as "the newest Buffalo Bill" was great. The part with Lucas talking about Buffalo football fans and watching games w/the LA Bills Backers was great. The whole thing was great. TO is great. GO BILLSSS!!!!

You still haven't put.... SKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBY ...on 'ignore'???

As Ralph says, every time he visit the men's room... "Here I go again..." 19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! PosLUSZny!!!!!

Cute. Only I haven't visited Boys Town in three or four years. Are you sure Fazil & Anais aren't friends of yours from CIA?

Good stuff to be sure - the band was already immensely popular around that time, still doing a lot of old R&B, but 'The Glimmer Twins' were just finding their way as songwriters. My very first Stones album was Between the Buttons - everybody knows Ruby Tuesday & Let's Spend The Night Togther from that disc, but my favorites were... Connection Cool, Calm & Collected Complicated Miss Amanda Jones Something Happened to Me Yesterday I've seen 'em live about a dozen times, and they always trot out one or two obscure early tunes along with one or two old R&B classics - in addition to all the old 'warhorses' - usually those 'oldies' are the best part of the show.

Well, it certainly doesn't compare to... The Willows Inn

Here's another favorite I like to trot out once a year...

Not my point. Let me put it to you this way. There are more gay corners - and gay markets - and gay bars - and gay people - within walking distance from your house than in all of WNY. Does it mean there are no gay people in WNY? Of course not, it's just a lot harder to find them. link

There's more of a lot of things within walking distance of your house than in all of WNY... link

Indeed, some of their best music is on obscure 'b-sides' - but they do find ways to spice up even the most overplayed old 'warhorses' - Live With Me

I'll assume that, on occasion, you have to leave the bay area for one reason or another - have you never sought advice on a good restaurant in whatever city you are traveling?

Ooops...left out one of my absolute all time favorites - Live With Me - from Let It Bleed... I got nasty habits, I take tea at three Yes, and the meat I eat for dinner Must be hung up for a week My best friend, he shoots water rats And feeds them to his geese Don'tcha think there's a place for you In between the sheets? Come on now, honey We can build a home for three Come on now, honey Don't you wanna live with me? And there's a score of harebrained children They're all locked in the nursery They got earphone heads they got dirty necks They're so 20th century Well they queue up for the bathroom 'Round about 7:35 Don'tcha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive? You'd look good pram pushing Down the high street Come on now, honey Don't you wanna live with me? Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear The cook she is a whore Yes, the butler has a place for her Behind the pantry door The maid, she's French, she's got no sense She's wild for Crazy Horse And when she strips, the chauffeur flips The footman's eyes get crossed Don'tcha think there's a place for us Right across the street Don'tcha think there's a place for you, In between the sheets?

He's where he always is - in bed with his life-sized Tommie* Brady* blowup doll, dreaming that his Cheatriettes* are going to the Superbowl.

Do they have a good bathtub gin? That would be the closer.

Well, their body of work is so large, it would be hard to keep my list of favorites to less than one or two dozen. I think their very best stuff was written between '68 and '75 (from Beggar's Banquet thru It's Only Rock n' Roll) - most everything they've done since reflects aging rock stars just 'going thru the motions' to promote yet another tour and make a few million to pay their alimony, legal fees, etc. The notable exception to that was the Some Girls album in 1978, which was surprisingly good - fantastic, actually - and contains 4 of my favorites - Shattered (a more appropriate anthem about life and fame as a rock star in NYC has yet to be penned) Respectable (Jagger's biting cynicism about rising from the poor house to the high life at it's sharpest) Some Girls (Jagger's caustic misogyny at it's most bitter)) Walk Before They Make Me Run (Keith's autobiographical dirge about life on the road, excessive drug use, and slowing down the pace after his '76 heroin bust in Toronto - "Gonna find my way to heaven, 'cause I did my time in hell...I wasn't lookin' too good but I was feelin' real well") Other favorites - Just about the whole Beggar's Banquet album, but especially - Stray Cat Blues Street Fighting Man Sympathy With [sic] The Devil Dear Doctor From Let It Bleed - Let It Bleed Midnight Rambler Gimme Shelter From Sticky Fingers - B word Dead Flowers Sister Morphine I Got The Blues You Gotta Move All of Exile On Main Street, but especially - Rocks Off Rip This Joint Casino Boogie Tumbling Dice Sweet Virginia All Down The Line Soul Survivor Goat's Head Soup was such a change of pace that most of it didn't appeal to me, save for - Heartbreaker Hide Your Love From It's Only Rock n' Roll, their last great album - with the exception of Some Girls as noted above - and the last album before they turned into mainly a touring bad, cranking up the money machine every few years so so, favorites are - If You Can't Rock Me It's Only Rock 'n' Roll Fingerprint File Of their early, pre-1968 stuff, favorites include Under My Thumb and Mother's Little Helper. Favorite live album is Love You Live, but I go back and forth between that and Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out - and Stripped was also excellent. Still Life was pretty good too. Oh - 2 of their hit singles, most certainly favorites, that only appeared on anthologies and live albums and that are all time classics - rock 'n' roll anthems, really - are Jumping Jack Flash and Honky Tonk Woman (which actually did appear as a sort of 'country' song on the Let It Bleed Album). Regarding the Beatle's vs. Stones thing, it's a matter of taste - if you enjoy saccharin sweet, really vapid, really trite tunes of the type that McCartney has always been able to pen in a few moments on the back of a matchbook and which he still cranks out ad nauseum to this day, then the Beatles is your choice. If you like hard, raw, driving rock - with roots firmly planted in early R&B - along with edgy lyrics full of social commentary, then you love the Rolling Stones.

I suspect that, as long as ML stays out of trouble, the suspension will be overturned on appeal because he's already said that he's really sorry.

Not to mention... The Night Life

Forget about what the NFL wants - I can't believe the Bengals coaching staff is going to allow it.

'Noodle Arm Fitzpatrick'? In his first NFL game, Fitzpatrick replaced an injured Jamie Martin and lead the St. Louis Rams from a 24-3 halftime deficit to a 33-27 overtime win, throwing for 310 yards and three touchdowns. How many NFL games - partial or complete - has our Glove-Wearing-Dakota-Fanning-Loving Los Gatos Boy thrown for 300 yards? You wanna see what a real noodle arm looks like? link

When I think of Jauron, I think of the "Gilligan's Island" episode where Thurston Howell finds Lovie sitting at the table with Jungle Boy and a coconut cream pie and exclaims, "Lovie! What ARE you doing?" "I'm trying to find out about our friend. If he picks up his fork with his right hand, he's American. If he picks it up with his left, he's European." Then, Jungle Boy grunts a few times, grabs the pie with both hands, and mashes it into his face. Thurtson Howell jumps back in horror and says, "Good Heavens! A YALE man!"

Nonsense - crazy dreams are what you have nightly about your oh-so-dreamy TommieBoy* Bundchen*.

"He said he's really sorry. No suspension."
