Words of Wisdom for today, compliments of Steve "Tall Boy" Kimble: "When one washes all one's pants in a single load - one would be doing so
without wearing pants."

How sad is it that I've only been to 4 of the places and one of those is Niagara Falls, with France being another. Obviously the people surveyed were on crack, because Niagara Falls is a dump. Well, I admire the ballet there but that's about it. (Maximum of 6 people understand that joke).

By the way, Die Another Day is a great movie. I saw a sneak preview the other day and even though I'm not a huge Bond Fan, I loved this movie. Halle Berry is easy on the eyes. Thanks again to Michele for the free ticket!

A big Happy Birthday to John Ko, who turns 28 today. I'm tempted to bust on him, but today he gets the free pass. That'll be my present to him.


One really bad band.


Okay, there seems to be some confusion regarding my top ten greatest songs of all-time (right now). On some selections I am being sarcastic. Case in point, the Journey and Bon Jovi choices. Those songs aren’t good, in fact they stink, but they bring me so much joy in other ways. Bon Jovi is horrible and their sound is just gross. Seriously, they offend me. However, without Bon Jovi we wouldn’t have one of the funniest clips I’ve ever seen. Journey is just a cheeseball band that made videos that seemed cool at the time, but years later became hysterical. The Separate Ways video is a perfect example. It’s just four ugly dudes singing on a dock, pretending to play their instruments. The video is filled with close ups and considering Steve Perry’s mug that’s a very bad idea. Journey is just plain amusing. I mean they even had their own video game. I know what’s on the top of my Christmas List.

I'm still getting a lot of questions from people concerning my general opposition to pants (Tristan Devereaux). Rather than go into a lengthy rant pointing out the obvious, everyone needs to view this. It's the same as the "evil" link at the top of the page. The site perfectly illustrates the menace of pants. Believe you me; you wouldn't want to be Thomas, or Mr. Lindrum for that matter. Watch the clip and it'll all be clear to you.
