Here's one from the way back machine.

Back when I used to listen to a lot of the Dead, I would get into

philosophical discussions with some buddies.  

We all used to put on some Dead, sit around the fire and get 

into long discussions about all kind of strange things 

like the world's most dangerous animal that nobody 

realizes is dangerous. (Verdict: Hippo. Funny enough we may have 

actually been right on that)

I got an email from one the the "discussion group" the other day. We sent a few back and

forth and came up with a new topic:

If you were going to name a band what would you name it?

The goal is to name bar band names that sound tongue in cheek or a little dirty, 

but can be justified if needed by a explanatory 

hand bill.  

I can't be too dirty or obvious that it can't be said on 

the radio to promote a show.

Right now I am leaning towards naming my fake band:

Massive Dump (w/ corresponding photo of a huge snowstorm 

or snowplow going down the street)

We rode by the new airport today. Looks impressive from the 

runway side of the building. Somebody call Southwest Airlines.

The K Lady recently looked at flights for a business trip.  

It was $200 cheaper to fly out of Joplin than Springfield.

Cmac's fu manchu is slightly reminiscent of Lemmy's (sans pork chops).

Greatest three man Canadian band ever

VH1 Classic 2009 for 2009 is the greatest thing on TV in years. That was basically 

what MTV used to be: Videos. Good times.

Random thoughts:

What happened to Glenn Close's face? FX needs to run a 

warning.

Tropic Thunder may be the most quotable movie 

since Caddyshack.  

The K Lady has already had enough of my Kirk Lassiter 

impressions.

How much does a Snuggy cost to produce? I can get 2 Snuggies (sp?) and 2 book lights for $19.95 plus shipping and handling? How is that possible?

Is shipping and handling $39.99? Even for cheap Chinese junk, that is impressive. 

Has anyone seen one at a sporting event? I am fascinated.

How many diet and or weight loss/fitness infomercials 

or commercials are on at any given moment on satellite 

or cable in the month of January?

Some guys I ride with don't know how to plan a 3 hour ride.

On a positive note

It may be 9 degrees right now, but minute by minute we start gaining daylight today.

Merry Christmas

"the internet, giving spines to the spineless since 1998.  Get to fucking  work"

Beer Review:

Boulevard Nutcracker Ale and Anchor Steam Christmas Brew 

both excellent.

These guys used to own the Blue Note 89-92.  

I vote that Jim does this with his beard

Not much to report.  Busy at work.  Head cold.

Went on a road ride with Jimmy St. Louis, Bud and McQ up around Fellows Lake into a 20-25 mile an hour headwind.  Wind chill about 30.  Good times.

Thinking about a tattoo 

Something like this, since I'm already fully sleeved.

It's a page turner.
