Is "joyous or life affirming" the antonym of "oogey?" That's not what Urban Dictionary says. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oogey .

It's a force to be reckoned with, Dennis!

Apparently, RT doesn't see the art in Jennifer Connelly and another girl doing "Ass to Ass"* with a double-dong on top of a table.


*the guy repeats "ass-to-ass" several times, so the art isn't somehow lost on the audience.

No. I'm old. Apparently I was thinking of some other incredibly stressful event to which that movie was a preview.

First Divorce?

That "early retirement" conversation?

Well now -- I don't know about art, but I'd see that as positive and life-affirming.

(But for God's sake give those ladies a bed . . . )

The only book that ever did that to me was Woodward's "Wired." Something about the way he drew Belushi so clinically and dispassionately made it a very cold read. Not depressing, just icy. Most books about flame-outs have some romantic arc. "Wired" just drew this long, flat picture of emptiness.

The thing that creeped me out was it was so realistic. He could have given the book an arc, but he refused to do it, which kind of forces the reader to deal with the reality that, yeah, generally shit has no meaning, and its all just random crap. But you never get that from a book. Even in hardass stuff like "Night of the Gun," the publishers make the stuff dramatic and make it reach a crescendo, "teach people a lesson" - usually something that reinforces comfortable, incorrect assumptions.

I won't read the book again, but I'm not going to to forget it like the dozens of other biographies I've been through.

Oh, God, I can think of endless alternatives. And as to the notion reggae is the perfect companion for baking, this is something I have never understood. I've almost been brought to tears by people making me listen to live reggae discs in that condition. I recall being forced to listen at least ten times in my life to this same Peter Tosh disc where he gives some crazy, rambling speech that I guess is ballsy or something. I like Peter Tosh fine and all, but I don't want to hear it at those times. I also don't want to hear '71-'72 Dead. If it sounds anything like "Europe '72," that, to me, is the band on the downslide. Give me the old '68-'70 shit with the "Cryptical>Other One>Eleven>Other One>Caution" stuff on it. But a nine minute "It Hurts Me, Too"? No. Not unless you want me to fall asleep.

I feel him. He was trying to drop you a real gem.
I always buck holes in the ceiling when I hear him.

Yeah, I don't understand the association people always make between reggae and marijuana.
