Mutton Shot

For your viewing (and mocking) pleasure:

Here are the chops:

Nothin' On My Mutton

so, i'm growing out some mutton chops. it's all part of a juvenile pact with my friend, jason.

unfortunately, he's not livin' up to his end. all he has to do is grow out a stache to accompany his flavor saver and goatee. he won't do it.

anyway, conventional wisdom says i can return to my standard burns anytime i wish now that the deal is off. i'm far from conventional. at least, when it comes to facial hair.

anyway, it's day 4 since the chops hath been harvested...and they're coming in nicely. got a nice bloated, drugged, dead on the toilet elvis thing going....always attractive.

nothin' but rave reviews from the missus and co-workers. more to come...including pics???

stay tuned...

"Music is the soundtrack of your life"
--some wise dude

If you love music and you love sharing your taste in music with the masses and you love rambling on and on and on and writing run-on sentences about music...have i got a URL for you.

Deezer-dot-com.

Coincidence that the site's name closely relates to one of my all-time favorite bands? maybe...but i doubt it.

as for the site itself...it's fantastic. pick your favourite albums and artists, create playlists for your friends to peruse, or you can post playlists to your own site, myspace page, or blog (as i've done in the top right corner of this page. at press time...enjoy the van halen -- dlr era only)

need i say more? scurry off and discover the music goodness at deezer. if you sign up, don't forget to add me as a audiophile friend.

happy net hunting!

Brilliant. That's all I can say. F$%^ing Brilliant.

It's all on SuperDeluxe. Enjoy!

Super Deluxe Fun

One of the best parts of having our old friend Tivo back is the recent addition of Super Deluxe TivoCast.

So, KO and I signed up for a Season Pass, which means every weekday....a new nugget of comedy gold arrives on our Tivo Now Playing List.

Great stuff, indeed. Like today we received this little gem with a history lesson about our 35th president.

Also, just for my dear readers, a little sample of Tim & Eric Nite Live.

Happy downloading!

Welcome Back, Old Friend

As KO mentioned here...

A few days previous, KO was able to resurrect a dear member of the family.

No, no...Zoe didn't suddenly fall victim to a coma....shame on you for even thinking it.

Instead, our dear Tivo was restored with a new and improved 160 GB hard drive, rendering it 4 times faster than she was during her previous 3 year tour of duty.

I cannot tell you how much I've missed her.
NO LONGER will I require deciphering a show by (gasp!) recognizing the characters and cross-referencing them through my internal catalogue of banal and useless information embedded betwixed my ears.

NO LONGER will the need arise to dust off some outdated reel to reel media and relay all those lines of resolution onto a piece of plastic known throughout the latter half of the previous century as
V-I-D-E-O T-A-P-E.
The fact that the antique contraption utilized in said recording hasn't been submitted to the Smithsonian as a whimsical relic, recalling to mind the good-ole-days, is a feat in itself.

NO LONGER will our bedroom TV be subjected to the substandard world it knew too well not so long ago. You would be a fool to think that such a thing could 0ccur with retaliation.

I put it to you, Greg....Isn't the mere thought that this atrocity occurred without swift judiciary action by some anagrammed governing body....well, is that not a clear example of cruel and unusual punishment?

I would say so.

Instead, after a week of reverting back to the dark ages, KO began the delicate work of bringing our beloved antennaed companion back from the brink.

After a tension-filled half hour, like Jesus pulling Lazarus from his tomb, KO emerged from the delicate procedure and defiantly called me with the sweetest sounds these ears have captured since the day she said "I do": (I'm talking about KO....stay with me.)
The euphoric start-up animation we've both come to know and love: Our Tivo was home again.

Now, our dear friend is back and better than ever, doing all the legwork...finding our favorite shows...prepping it all for hours of entertainment....and what doth she receive in return?
Only my undying adoration.

When I sit back and think hard about the lesson we've all learned in the dramatic tale of love, loss, and redemption...I can only think of the immortal words uttered by the sage-like hair band Cinderella:

Don't know what you got
'Til it's gone

Truer words were ne'er spoken.

Thanks for fighting the good fight, old pal.
May the road ahead be filled with nothing but green fields and thumbs way up.

Rediscovering the (Powder) Blues

There is a God. Other than George Brett....or this lady.

My prayers hath been answered.

Now, if only KC can woo a hockey team from some struggling market?

Patience. Cory. One miracle at a time.
