OT. John Ritter and Johnny Cash both gone in one day

On Sat, 13 Sep 2003 00:29:05 -0500, the notorious t-e-d is alleged to have written:

A friend of mine makes their hats.... He says Mark Mothersbaugh is a great guy.

To bring this back on-topic, "Whip-it" is a brand name of one particular type of nitrous oxide cannister which can be used in hybrid motors....

- Rick "Whee!" Dickinson

THAT was a stretch.

No! Really! The microhybrids use whippets.......it works......but it still doesn't answer why Johnny Cash had no rockets in 'Hurt'........maybe hurt was what happened to his wallet when he started flying..........now *that's* a stretch :-)

Chuck

Naw, "hurt" was how he felt when his rocket catoed.

Actually it was Trent seeing rockets.

Maybe, just maybe Johnny saw the same things with his past chemical chaos adventures.

Trent wrote Hurt. Not Johnny.

But there is a certain amount irony between NiN/Trent tunes and Johnny Cash tunes. Kinda erie when you really think about it. For lack of a better description there's a similar *rage*.

And I have have no doubt! Gotta appreciate the humor of Mothersbaugh :)

No, 'blockhead' is a Devo thing. Kinda like 'spudboy'.

Or were you just leaving out the smiley. ;O)

Not to mention Kent Poole ("Merle Webb" in "Hoosiers", one of the greatest sports movies ever filmed) and Larry Hovis ("Sergeant Carter" in "Hogan's Heroes".) Kind of a rough week for celebs.

Ever see "The Cramps" live? Caught their last tour the the HOB in Chicago. Gotta love a band that leads off their show with " Dames, Booze, Chains, and Boots"!

It's not just the week...

In the 90's the US had Bill Clinton as President, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash.

Today the US has George W. Bush as President, no Hope, and no Cash.

;-)

ROFL!

Have you read the pdf of the Calif recall ruling today on cnn.com?

It reads like revenge of Gore/Clinton ala FL chads.

The machines were good enough to elect Davis :) The machines produce error rates below "statistical significance" :)

The legal system is counter sense.

What! you did not get it the first time? Once Al Gore asked the court to come in and decide an election, all elections from here on out will be the final decision of the judicary not the people! The courts have far outstepped the bounds and are now the ruling class. Long live freedom.

Oh yeah, they're still arond, and are on tour in Europe right now. They actually played at First Ave on their next tour stop after HOB. I guess the best way to describe the show was "I went to the fights and the Cramps broke out". After fueling the crowd with $4.00 Old Style Tallboys (is is Chicago after all) through one decent then one really terrible (Dr. Quintron & Miss Pussycat) opening bands, out came the Cramps, and all hell broke loose! A roadie got yanked off the stage and beat up, Lux grabbed a guy from the audience who was thumping on the roadie and bit him, and then he threw up his microphone stand and when it came down, it hit Poison Ivy in the face, who was extremely pissed. The crowd was so out of control, they finally quit playing. Here is a photo link:

Ahem. It was George Bush who actually filed the first suit; Gore only asked for the recount he was entitled to. It was Bush who went to the courts.

len.

Gore got the recount he was entitled to before anyone even thought about going to the courts. The problem was he demanded additional recounts he was not entitled to.
