Oh, mothers. Guess what my mother did last week? Now let me preface this with if she only had done stuff like this now when I’m 8 1/2 months pregnant, she’d get a pass. But it’s not.
My friends have gotten a new doggie. I had not met him yet, so last Saturday evening, I went to their house to meet the new doggie, we went out to dinner near them, and then went back to the house to play with the doggie some more. At 10 pm I get a call on my cell phone from another friend. ‘Where are you?’ “I’m at x’s house. What’s up?” “Call your mother. She called me in a panic wondering where you were.” “Thanks”. So I call my mother, and she’s all in a tizzy. “Where are you?” “I’m at X’s” “I was worried you had passed out at home and no one knew about it. So I called Y to go check on you” (Y doesn’t live all that close). How did she find you?” “She called my cell phone. Why didn’t you?” “Oh, I thought you didn’t keep the phone turned on. You need to tell someone where you are.” So I turned to X and said “Did you know where I was?” “Yes”. “Mom, X knew where I was”. “Don’t get smart”. So now I’m under orders to call her if I’m not going to be home at night. Like that’s going to happen. Funny, one would think I”m 40 years old and did things like go live in Kansas for months on end.
Stennie—I agree with Bet. Just don’t answer the e-mail. Let it sit, and if she asks, you just say “oh, I’ve been busy, I haven’t checked it in a while”. I don’t know what to tell you about he prayer thing.
We’re finally getting politics here. After the non-decisions of Super Tuesday, all of the sudden the candidates realize we vote here next week. Honestly, the only one buying up air time is Obama—everyone else is still silent. Although, I got automated phone polled today. Remember we have open primaries and don’t register by party. “Who are you planning to vote for next week? Press one for Ron Paul, 2 for McCain, 3 for Romney, 4 for Huckabee, 5 for Other”. And all of the questions went that way, with Ron Paul always being the first choice and Democrats not even mentioned. Gotta love the Ron Paul folks. Why do the no hopers stay in the race so long?
That Del Amitri track you had me listen to….it’s vaguely familiar, but it could’ve been anything I heard one someone’s radio in the 90s. All I remember hearing back then was the Total Eclipse Of The Heart cover, that Mambo song, and something like this. The song you used for the CD mix is far more familiar.
Sorry—you’ll have to count me out of the guest appearance this time. But pencil me in for the next round, if our people can work out a deal.
I got a flyer in the mail from Ron Paul’s people. Boy, did they get the wrong guy.
Btw, there’s a bit in the Who film of them performing live at Shepperton Studio, doing Baba O’Riley and Won’t Get Fooled Again. That’s some serious-ass rock and roll. I love that performance.
Gotta say, I’m pretty disappointed with the lack of puking in this episode.
Other Special Features:
*Includes actors.
*Shiny plastic disc enclosed.
*Scenes in which animals WERE actually harmed.
*Gag reflex reel. (Lindsay Lohan movies only.)
That Del Amitri video? Brings the creeps, hard. Had to look it up, and BAM, instantly got the shivers. What’s the difference between that and the talking babies of Baby Geniuses?
Is this election still going? Don’t know what you guys are talking about, but I’m totally jazzed about voting for Ron Popeil. He’s Veg-o-Matic.
Mothers: They’re all nuts, aren’t they? I had just assumed as much.
I don’t know which was funnier, Bet’s “kiss my ass” comment or Stennie’s laughter about it.
Wow, Sten’s mom is Christiany.
Jesus Nazis—I hate those guys!
MORE KAZOO!
And why are you guys still smoking?
Sheesh!
How very sweet of that football player!! Aaawwww.
I can’t wait to listen to the remastered Hucklebug – it will be like taking a trip back into time to see how far you’ve come
Man – congrats on even emailing your mom – I wouldn’t have known what to do and therefore would have done nothing! Thankfully, my mom would never do something like that. But – she would, and has, sewn crazy 4th of July overalls for me to wear to a family reunion. (picture cropped jean overalls decorated with blue & white striped material – including 6 inch-pieces that were attached at the bottom – with lace – sticking out like little doll dresses).
And I wore them.
And I was 30.
Stennie,
I don’t know if you or Bet know this, but a couple years ago Roy Scheider had agreed to help some young JAWS fans make a tribute documentary and he was so taken by them that he made himself available for further meetings and interviews. Roy also assisted them in getting in touch with other folks associated with JAWS. That little fan film started to grow and has turned into a full blown, busting at the seems documentary.
Roy also agreed to do the narration for the film. This documentary seems now to have been a bleesing in disguise since many people interviewed have passed away during it’s production. Their stories of his iconic film are now preserved forever for future film fans to enjoy.
Now if they can just get someone to distribute the movie.
Sorry, I totally forgot something.
The film is called “The Shark Is Still Working.”
