You have to listen to "The Squeeze" :-)

Oh Jan - I most definitely do. The Squeeze is a fantastic band. I love The Squeeze. And so do my many over 50-yr. old cohorts at the radio station as it turns out.

Damn, I came in here to find out what a Hot Mess was, and if I could be one too.

posted by Specklet 30 December | 14:35

I think you can also, Specklet. We just need more information from qualified sources.

Being a Hot Mess is not something you can obtain. You either are or you are not.

It's very zen.

I thought they were just called Squeeze, not The Squeeze.

posted by JanetLand 30 December | 14:47

It's also very now.

I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.

Seriously.

"The Squeeze", or "Squeeze"? Because I won't listen to "Squeeze". My band opened up for them once and they were total assholes. They even stole our beer out of our green room when we were on stage!

Ok. Best example I can think of -

Remember last year there was the Toni Braxton impersonator doing a Toni Braxton concert and it incited a riot and she ended up in a Suriname jail for months? Now she may or may not have known what the heck was going on. That makes no difference. That woman is a hot mess. The situation was a hot mess.

I'd like The Whelk to weigh in on this topic.

Consider and reflect.

They were still called "UK Squeeze" when I started listening to them.

posted by octothorpe 30 December | 15:43

Not that The Whelk is a hot mess. I just thought he might have a useful definition.

posted by rainbaby 30 December | 15:49

I'm with rainbaby, I am not sure I could define it, but I sure know it when I see it.

Well, all I can say is that I'm aiming for Hotmessness/hotmessitude/hotmessianiccomplex in 2010. I may not know it, but others will.

It's going to be my mantra as we go into the next decade, my barometer for how to live.

I want to be the hottest mess ever.

I still remember a DJ pondering a couple of years back, "What exactly is a Hot Fuss?"

posted by dhartung 30 December | 16:11

Ahem.

Subject: Hot Mess.

A Hot Mess is a creature with an impressive amount of charisma and attractiveness, often of an unusual or compellingly outre' nature who is unpredictable, unstable, and unsuited for life outside of wild swings of behavior. This contradiction is the attraction - and indeed, the sloppy or manic nature of the charm or talent is the attraction. These people tend to find themselves in the little of fights, riots, or leading a cult. Alignment: Chaotic Neutral. Class: Mage/Enchanter

posted by The Whelk 30 December | 17:53

I don't care about your textybook definishuns, Whelkish, I still 'em gonna be one.

I am a riot. I am a fight. I am leading a cult.

The Cult of Oh Hells Yes.

So y'all best be gettin' on the Myway Highway in 2010, because this decade demands that you keep your legs and arms inside the vehicle until LT Comes To A Complete Stop.

It's just a midwestern term for casserole. I encourage you to be one.

My band opened up for them once and they were total assholes. They even stole our beer out of our green room when we were on stage!

I would expect they preferred black coffee.

In bed.

I suspect they were just tempted.

posted by richat 30 December | 20:51

By the beer of another.
Tempted once the suds were discovered.
They'd been hittin' bongs, but their weed's now gone.
Oh, bother.

Hee hee!

I feel like putting BitterOldPunk's verse to song and singing it while wandering around Central park, in the snow, in a Robe.

You know, until I get arrested.

posted by The Whelk 31 December | 10:11

I love casseroles.
