"Shouldn’t you be penalizing them instead?"

RIGHT-ON!

I think my comment might have been facetious, too, but now I can't remember. :-)

Dear god! Rascal Flatts, "Revolution"...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxwsJr0W7qc

And one I would blog, but I'll defer it to you if you want it:

"A COMEDIAN died after accidentally overdosing on laughing gas while watching computer porn, an inquest heard."

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2381100.ece

(now I have "Jumpin' Jack Flash" dancing in my head)

'Now Yusef Mohammed - used his own money to put a price on the head of Salman Rushdie for insulting Islam with his book "Satanic Verses".'/yacs

Ever notice how when you go to a restaurant, there is always someone who orders the "Herb crusted honey glazed salmon" but they pronounce it like SALLLLmon. It always make me think of Mr. Rushdie, and then I want to throttle them and say, I'm going to declare a fatwa on your azz if you can't pronounce the fish!

Just a random thought. Happy weekend Yacs! :)

Gucci

"There was controversy over something Stevens said and whether it meant he was agreeing with the fatwah against Rushdie, but I can't find anything about him actually putting a price on Rushdie's head."

I went back and re-read the article I was basing that post on, back when he was not allowed into the US - I did not remember all of the article correctly - It was his openly voiced support for Rushdie's death and his financial contributions to HAMAS - kind of running together in my late night memory.

So let me correct that -

MORAL support for the death of Salman Rushdie

Finanacial support for the death of Israel (go read the Hamas Charter)

I like to be specific when I can....

Yusef in his own words...

Good grief!!! It was only a concert over 30 years ago and EQ wants to make a political statement out of that!!!My gosh, if we knew who people really were 30 years afo the US wouldn't be in such a MESS.LOL,thanks for you support.

AGO~~~~ i met to say

"Btw, did you know 10,000 Maniacs removed the Peace Train track from subsequent pressings of their album after he said that?"

Actually saw them open for REM "back in the day" and they did that song - that was just a few months before Natalie Merchant made a public anouncement about that.

I actually liked Cat Stevens' music - crazy world....

" Y'know, I think I saw the same REM tour "

It was the "Work Tour" - you're old like me - LOLzers...

It was a good show though wasn't it?

I'm sorry I mixed it up yacs! I could have sworn it was you. My comment was more about people that can't pronounce Salmon than mr. Rushdie. An attempt at weekend humour, if you will.

Take care, Gucci :P

"Yessir! Didn't they start using their giant projector screen a lot more on that tour? They opened the show with the words "want" and "need" (from "Finest Worksong") alternating and blurring together overhead as the band walked out. I think I saw them in Williamsburg that year; that was my third time."

Ahh the good ol' days...

I saw them in Charleston WV same venue as the SRV show - great place for music. The local Philharmonic played there as well.

I used to work in a little bar in WV called the Empty Glass. In 91 when REM was not touring they did Mountain Stage (NPR radio show from WV) and Peteer Buck came in and the place went nuts.

A little later Billy Bragg showed up. We begged them to play for us but they were just tired and looking to wind down so we tried to act cool.

People would never believe what a great music scene Charleston WV was in the late 80's early 90's..

I saw Ray Charles in an outdoor concert once down by the river.

Way back when...

When you decry an event that's nothing more than sound and fury, then you're full of sound and fury, too."

well said yacs

Just wanted to stop by and say Hello! Have a great day!

I sent you an e-mail about the tickets. Please check and respond when you can. -Angela

"someone accused you and Tyrohne of being the same person? Been there!"

We don't know what you're talking about...

(LOL - noticed that did ya?)

Good afternoon YACS! Congradulations on getting all of the answers right on Angelas blog. I just wanted to thank you for not letting them go to waste. Since I was the runner up, and you couldnt use them, I get them. And I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!"

"What a class act Jersey fans are."

"Isn't that a Carolina fan?

Regardless, that was a great game last night!" Quote Yacs

I think this pic is a stab at the Jersey Diva that was giving Staal the 2 handed finger wave from the first row right after his goal. That's what I mean't by classy Jersey fans. That cougar is all over the news this morning. She was not happy!! Go Canes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

'Excellent TJ quote on the "comments land you in jail" blog!'

Wonder how few will recognize who actually said that....

Thanks for the 'friending' - you may have to help me stay out of the penalty box from time to time....

"Also the tobacconist sketch."

Oh man, I forgot about that sketch...love monty python...

LOL...I had the exact part playing in my head. It actually confused me when I read what you typed...I can't believet he timing =P

Hey Golo friends, I am hanging in there but spending most of the time at my sisters. Tonight is the third night (not in a row) that I have spent at the house, kind of creppy but getting better. I have been getting lots of support from the Golo friends, neighbors and family. It is kind of overwhelming trying to get back to everyone, but if I don't get back to you please know I am not ignoring you and are thinking of you.

John's cremation was today so I said a little prayer. I picked out a beautiful urn for him and another for his dad. It weighed heavily on his heart that he still had not taken care of his dad. He still grieved over him and unsure what he wanted to do. So I took care of both of them. I may go back and get another for me so that evrything will be ready when my time comes.

Anyway just wanted ya'll to know that I am hanging in there. Today I was wondering what do you do after 18 years with someone, being alone again. I am sure that I will find my way.

Robert

I was talking about the Democratic Party being the party that keeps abortion alive after Roe v Wade...what a strange matching of words...

Yacs, it is bad, no doubt. And getting worse. The whole dialogue yesterday was something that I did not start. It was started by someone I am sure you feel is capable of much more than attacks. That is my frustration. If you want to speak to the "cancer" on Golo, thats great. Make sure you find it at its source, however. If not, it just comes back.

Cam has been amazing. The game last night was amazing. Not sure how we keep winning games like that, OT, last second, etc., but just going to enjoy the ride.

Today is a perfect example of the double standard I mentioned. The blog from Steve. All about name calling. Where is the outrage over that? I have not seen any. This is what I refer to when I say if you really want to address the "cancer" on golo, go the sources. Not to the secondary sites.

Not at all true. The term is already being used to describe anyone who voted for Obama. And in the blog it is being used to describe, basically, anyone who disagrees with Steve.

This is the cancer. And to condone it, or to try to justify, just allows it to spread.

out of context, this sounds pretty questionable: "I ain't going down the Memory Hole with you ever again!"

Real LOL - Out of context is what goLO seems to be all about - and it was the only thing I could up with on short notice - my spontaneity isn't really all that spontaneous lately.

that was a wonderful interview. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about you. Enjoy those boys, those ages are fun

fighting is normal for siblings. I have 3 boys, 20, 17, and 12. There are times it has been a war zone in my house. The 20 and 17 yr olds are now friends most of the time but the 20 yr old just moved into his own apartment so that helps. You have a ways to go on that one. But I well remember those ages. Enjoy them, children are a blessing

:) Always loved Steely Dan. Didn't know if anyone would catch that shamless plug for 'em. :)

Nice interview Dan =)

do you ever check your email?

i think it was danbain07@gmail.com

http://tyrohne.typepad.com/genuis-loci/

Dan, here's another bookmark for you. Keep in touch. Golo has just become too romper room for me. It's either all guns (and heck, I'm a staunch 2nd Amendment), all democrat or all republican (when both of them roil my stomach) or all flatulence all the time... seeking some fresh air..

I'm back from the Ministry...I finally love Big Brother - victory at last....

I love O'valencia! I just adore that whole CD. Good taste, Yacs! ;)

"Musta been the rats."

100% effective rate to date...

The guy below me is Equality. His Equality 7 persona got the Slim Pickens/Dr. Strangelove treatment. Yeeehaw!

The short answer is "no", but I do recall hearing that when "Blackjack" Pershing was fighting the Muslim insurgents in the Phillipines, he would collect up the dead bodies and bury them in a mass grave with a pig carcass. Supposedly it was very efective in getting their minds right.

"Okay, time to go take a shower.."

I feel the same way when I log off.

The internet, I mean....

"I'll be sure to share it with you in early July, after the printed piece hits the streets."

Sounds quite interesting - I'll be looking for it.

Just take it easy on the rats.....

" butte "

The filter's a real hoot, huh?

You can say hell but not p oop - buttocks, but not but t - (and this sentence isn't awkward at all).

Hi Dan! Long time no talk. Hope you are doing well, and have a wonderful weekend! :-)

Beth (Strawberry Letter 23). .....I change my name ALL the time, but always use Honey as my avatar.

Buddy our Beagle and Cricket our Yorkie, sleep with us. That leaves Bessie Mae (our other Beagle who looks almost identical, 90% to Honey) to come into our room and try to wake us! LOL! She sleeps in the den in a doggie bed and sometimes on the couch. Three dogs in a queen size bed, with 2 adults is just too much. Two dogs is too, but Buddy has always slept with me.

:-)

Beth

You know, I think I may have seen the one you are talking about. It definitely caught my eye... Hope you're having a great weekend. I'm working today and it is sloooow, wish GOLO was open for news comments on the weekend. Oh well.

"zero tolerance gone awry."

zero tolerance = zero thought - it's the easy way out, to me.

Some where along the line the adults stopped 'growing up'.

"If we just substitute bird species names,..."

Peac ock?

Nope....

Thank you for being a friend!!!
