[Dead Corpse]

Hey now... I haven’t put on THAT much weight.

[sionnsar]

I just want you to know I think those lyrics are really, really stupid.
I hope the instrumental part is loud.

I don't think they ever did anything without monumentally stupid lyrics. Some website called them "the first heavy metal band" or something like that. Not possible, because the genre should have died right then and there -- for all folks went wild over the long drum solo in their big hit.

I ripped their "Evolution" LP to MP3 some time back and play it once in a (long) while just to remind myself how bad it could get. Or to freak out visitors to my office. *\;^)

I don't recall there being an instrumental part in this one. But I could be wrong.

[sionnsar]

Hey now... I haven’t put on THAT much weight.

LOL!

[HKMk23]

...being a glowing presence at parties is worth it.

The ability to brighten any room is a plus.

[Tax-chick]

Especially if you can’t get incandescent light bulbs.

[Tax-chick]

[Monkey Face]

Yep. It look just like dey eated dem.

[Tax-chick]

They will do that.

How are you today? We went to Mass at 7:30, and I’m going to practice music later. And maybe Francisco will take a nap.

[Monkey Face]

Right now, I’m struggling with a migraine, and I keep trying to ignore it. For a while, I thought of going back to bed, but the pain negated that. Still, it sounds good.

Maybe I need a dose of chocolate...

[Darksheare]

Dead Man's Party?

[HKMk23]

Discovery is home for the last time.

One down; two to go.

I saw the first launch; I’ll see the last landing.

Who knows where we go from there. For sure the Obaminable No-man has no vision.

Misty here this morning.

Thanks, Discovery, for giving us SOMETHING we can still be proud of.

[Monkey Face]

We were in Tucson, when the first shuttle took off, and like you, I’ll watch the last landing. We can only hope our next POTUS has more vision than Nobambie.

[sionnsar]

Sigh. Never seen a takeoff, and will never see a landing. But I saw that bird fly *long* before the public did. Though they were only wind-tunnel models.

The very first test I was involved in, they were trying to find the optimum configuration of the Shuttle's rockets. The last one was a dynamic vibration test of the heat shield panels, to see if they could mechanically withstand reentry. (Test results said, "yes.")

[Darksheare]

I was in kindergarden/first grade back in 1980 when the first one launched.

Of course, now we have The Boy Who Would Be Fink as our sitting Cranial Dent in teh White House, so space exploration is out of the question with him.
[It’s neocolonialism in his eyes]

[mainestategop]

John Wayne Bobbit?

[HKMk23]

Don’t misunderstand me; I’ve never been to a launch or landing in-person, but watched them on TV, and this morning on-line (NASA TV).

I remember being a little kid at my friend’s house and watching the re-entry and splashdown of Apollo 11 on TV.

It’s a sorry state of affairs that we’ve no great leadership casting vision into the future. Truly, where there is no vision, the people perish.

But, hey, at least we’ve got a State of “affairs” we can blog about. Where WOULD we be without philandering politicians? [EYEROLL]

[sionnsar]

This month’s home of the Undead Thread.

[Darksheare]

Great.
Now I have this horribe rewrite of Banarama’s version of “Venus” in my head.
Only.. It’s Bobbit.

Chopped it on the mountaintop.
Running like a chick insane
And Bobbit was her name.
Yeah, she’s Bobbit, yeah baby she’s bobbit.
Cut your .. nevermind.

[sionnsar]

I’ve had little opportunity to watch them. But I remember Alan Shephard’s flight; they set up a TV in the gymn at school, but I watched it on the neighbor’s TV.

[HKMk23]

reminded me of a joke...

She was saying, “...I’m a nympho, but I only get turrned on by Jewish cowboys. By the way, my name’s Dianne.”

He said, “Hi, Dianne, I’m Bucky Goldstein.”
