Wow.

People with bow ties should generally not be trusted, or so I have read--tuxedos are the only appropriate use of 'em, as I've also read. Actually, The Crickets don't seem to be dressed inappropriately, given the rest of the rock 'n' roll crowd (ain't that hilarious?). This is a great video, even if it's totally dubbed:

I'm Terrible.

Tonight's goal was to pick up a pair of pants that will go with the Halloween costume. Alas, a sale was encountered, and I wound up buying yet another dark grey suit. Damn it, man! At least this one was reasonably priced (so I don't care if beer gets spilt on it---or the obligatory cigarette burns that my suits attract while chillin' on the patio with the band).

I got two awesome shirts and a tie, too.

Bad Luck City is a bad influence. I've gone from zero suits that fit to three. And a jacket that I need to lose weight to wear (just a little).

I seriously have a clothes buying problem when I perceive that the checking account has money in it.

Priceless....

I saw this and HAD to post it. One of the funniest bass player videos, ever:

That would make a great cover for a certain band of mine. There would have to be some rearrangement for dos rock guitars, but it would be a BADASS cover and let Kelly scream. I know that Andrew and I could easily do it. D might have alternate lyrics. It would have to be much slower. I've loved the 'band of demons' bass line (chomatic death) since I was four years old.

Make A Statement Without Playing A Note

Dudes...I like totally found one on the Ebay. I'd have to ditch the EMG Select pickups for my EMG PJ set that is begging to go into an instrument. It would complete my tie dye and Pink Floyd scuffies and cargo shorts-wearing 'new and improved' rocklook (tm).

Tell me that ain't tough-lookin', though:


No case, or I'd totally get it. I suppose that I could get a Coffin Case, though (I think that they make one for such foolishness, and it comes with a metalslut (tm).

Shoes

I'm looking for some dress shoes. This is proving to be far more difficult that I thought. Wingtips, it seems, are out of style?!? How could that be?!? At least someone else is agonizing about this shit.

Seriously, though...why do dress shoes have the silly-looking long toes? I think that it's all about the "men with big shoes" myth. High heels force a woman to stick her ass out (and walk funny)-- it must be the case that the long toes on men's shoes must amplify the crotch or something. I'm currently wearing 11.5 EEEE and 11.5 EE New Balance sneakers, 11 EE Red Wing work boots, and size 12 Doc Martens. I don't think that any of 'em make my penis appear larger.

Zaireeka rocks--LRC and I need to get blitzed and play it with four boom boxes--the down mix is a cop out. Soon.

It's Time for a Haircut (brought to you by the letter "D")

when I can feel the vast majority of my hair moving about during my "dancing with myself" episodes. This is the longest that I've tolerated the hair since that post office sidewalk head shaving incident back in the day. Tony and I used to be masters of skullduggery. Oddly, it was legal skullduggery. I think that's when I finally started straightening up.

I need to call that guy. Very few people can complete my sentences. Really a dear old friend. Kaptain K sez that we're clones. That's hilarious.

Best Tony quote, ever:

"Send the droids back to the land speeder, man. They don't serve our kind at Denny's."

I'm feeling better than I have in more than a decade. Fingers crossed. I want this to stick.
