Well that's good. What are you doing? I'm putting off finishing cleaning out the kitchen cabinents- I've taken everything out of them, and it's all sitting on the floor.
about Kiss, the Ramones, and sexism with MiHail the Mushroom Queen. She thinks she has me figured out as some kind of unthinking neanderthal. I'm toying with her.
and bmarkey, who's usually a very perceptive and likable guy, seems to be mising my point: that the superficial differences between Kiss & the Ramones don't matter. That what's in the grooves shows them to be more similar than different. That despite all the gallons of half-assed pseudointellectual criticsim and gene Simmon's crassness both groups grasped the concept that rock and roll is supposed to be (at least part of the time) pure fun.
on preview, probably, but I'm so po' y'all are gonna have to buy me drinks. You heard about my payroll mishaps.
Don't mind me. I'm just drunk and angry. And what makes me more angry than anything else is people who think they have me figured out by what I say and respond in kind. They're usually wrong and respond in kind and they think that gives them a liscence to ignore what I'm trying to say. It can be frustrating but I think that most of the time what I'm getting at gets through.
Word, I hear ya. I hate when people assume things, and then try to steer the conversation like they totally know me. I usually just cut off and say nothing at that point, because I never have the energy for fights like that.
Gene's still a prick, just like Johnny Ramone was.
Oh yeah, but they're pricks you'd gladly spend an evening drinking and chasing girls with. As a character in Tim Sandlin's masterful novel Western Swing said about another character "he's a prick, but he's not a bad prick." That's the rubric Johnny & Gene both fall under (and I've known people who've known both of them)
Cheddar is definitely the default cheese. Unless I've got a cold; then it's that tofu cheese-like stuff, which is actually better than it sounds. Pepper Jack is very good, too.
jon, I think we're gonna have to agree to disagree, with regard to Mr. Simmons.
that's my friend Trish from work She was really hammered in that pic. 10 minutes later we were doing the bump to Snoop Dogg. But she's good people. . mrs. mc is in this pic.
bmarkey: I wouldn't want Gene to watch my kids or manage my career but he is likably loathsome, for lack of a better phrase. That and "God Of Thunder," is a killer song. and any man who's bedded Shannon Tweed, Cher, and Diana Ross deserves some measure of respect, although that may be just the tongue.
Alright, I'm going to attempt to hit the sack, so I can be fresh and happy for the NYC UWS meetup tomorrow night, holllaaaa! Night all, thanks for keeping me company.
"For this particular cheese sandwich, I used Cracker Barrel Aged Reserve Cheddar." "Cheddar is definitely the default cheese. Unless I've got a cold; then it's that tofu cheese-like stuff, which is actually better than it sounds. Pepper Jack is very good, too."
You guys are SICK! At least cheese SICK. I would stay to argue but I am off to bed. SICK!
Oh, we meet again, arse_hat. I love stinky expensive cheeses, too, but cheddar is the heart of Cheesamerica. Especially a good sharp one, not that fake ass orange shit.
I know what chevre means, arse_hat. I was just unclear on the concept of chevre feta, as apparently that is the only sort of chevre I've ever had. Will you be eating it with Canadians or Americans?
Depends on the American. I bet Terrell Owens is 100% gristle free. And Wayne Gretzky probably contains more gristle than your average Canuck.
I have heard, from impeccable sources, that Celine Dion lacks gristle, bone, cartilage, and even organs, the so-called "variety meats." I bet she'd make a good hoagie.
I didn't mean that those were the only cheeses I like, just the ones I use in grilled cheese sandwiches. Otherwise I embrace all cheese, except for the ones with ash in them. They taste like death.
Dame, you must promise to use your fly-goddess powers for good.
