This one caught my attention: And so did this one (if you don't mind a little "toilet humor"):

I really believe you have to get pre-Beatles to call it an "Oldie" so here's my list: Everly Brothers - Wake Up Little Susie McGuire Sisters - Chordettes - Coasters - Little Egypt Neil Sedaka -

Better watch out for that cybernetic implant stuff...you might end up like some of the characters in Dean Koontz's Midnight
-
Not sure whether to post this here or over on the "Make me Laugh" thread, but here goes: Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers --- Atheists Don't Have No Songs

One of the characters on Misfits had the power of "lactokinesis". Kind of like telekinesis, but he could only move dairy products.

So, channeling Kristofferson now?

Get up & Move!

What movies creep you out every time you watch them?
blake_logan replied to Cyhort's topic in The Lounge
Anything with zombies creeps me out. Doesn't matter if they're fast zombies or slow zombies; people zombies or dog zombies -- they're all creepy. The ultraviolence in A Clockwork Orange was disturbing, but I didn't find it at all creepy. Different strokes, I guess. -
I used to drink Maxwell House or Folgers all day, but I've developed a preference for quality over quantity. These days, I have two 12 oz mugs of coffee every morning..... ... brewed in a press pot to proper strength ... with freshly roasted beans (less than 10 days out of the roaster) ... that are ground while the water is heating ... black, no sweetener. My custom blend is a mix of beans from Brazil, Ethiopia, Java and Yemen...all with chocolate highlights...to get a balanced flavor in the cup. Most days, that's sufficient caffeine, but I sometimes supplement with either dark chocolate or iced tea (which is almost mandatory with meals in the South).

If you're into dark comedies, I'd suggest: A Boy and His Dog Harold and Maude Wristcutters: A Love Story

When my house burned down, I got out with my two dogs and the clothes I was wearing. If it happens again, priorities will be: Keepsakes - photos & mementos that can't be replaced Important Documents - wallet, passport, household inventory (last time insurance adjuster wanted to see proofs of purchase), mortgage papers,etc. Data backup - music, photos, videos, etc. that would be difficult to replace but not impossible And just an FYI....although nothing in the fireproof box ignited, the entire contents was turned to charcoal. Off site safe deposit box is recommended as is "Renters Insurance" (to cover your property loss and your liability when the landlord sues you for burning down his house).

I keep hearing this one (radio, SNL, etc) .... great tune & very creative video
-
Cheers, Stu!

Heard this on the radio and got hooked....

Your stories keep getting better & better. Interesting characters, vivid imagery that set the context for the story -- I especially liked the detail that telling the gas station attendant to "keep the change" from a $5 bill for a 10 gallon gasoline purchase constituted being a big tipper, but then, I remember buying gas for 20 cents/gallon. Looking forward to the next chapter!

It's Sunday now and I didn't see anything like this in my neighborhood: NOTE: Don't click the link if you have delicate sensibilities -- intended for those with a dark sense of humor.

Wow...what a great video...thanks for posting the link. I've been listening to 21 over and over all week and that's my favorite tune on the album. Here's what I've got going with it:

Unless the content has digital rights management protection, you can usually convert it to a Kindle supported format without too much effort. Calibre ebook management is a shareware program that converts from/to several unprotected formats including epub & mobi. Most of the eBooks that you buy from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. are protected so be careful to get a format that will display on your device. Amazon has a free download for Mobipocket Creator which will let you take text or HTML and compile it into a Kindle compatible format. I've converted a few longer stories from GA, Nifty, etc. this way.

Weekend is finally here and I'm listening to one of my all time favorite guilty pleasures. Not sure why the video was "Banned in Britain" (I've seen much worse than this on broadcast TV when I've been in London) Enjoy!

Retro Rockin' today

I've been listening to Cee-Lo Green -- "The Lady Killer" -- third track -- a lot. It has an audacious belligerence that makes me laugh. I'd post a link but even the name violates the community standards rules (it's the potty mouth version, not the sanitized one that Gwynneth Paltrow did on Glee). Second track is almost as good so:

Lately, I've been listening mostly to the blues....Delta Blues, Memphis Blues, Texas Blues, Rhythm & Blues...it's all good.

Cheers to good Queen Vic and her beloved Prince Albert :king:

With temps in the 80's this week (that's hi 20's for you metric folks), it's time to break out the Sapphire & Tonic
