B&S Concert
 

So after getting back from Vegas, I had enough gas left in the tank to go see Belle & Sebastian. For those of you who don't know B&S, the band is fronted by Stuart Murdoch, an incredibly gay short lithe blonde guy, and co-features a good looking ambiguously gay lead guitarist/keyboard player named Steve, and a very short fat woman who sings backing vocals and plays keyboards, xylophones, violins and a large number of other instruments. There's also a normal looking rhythm section, a hipster organist, and five string-instrumentalists (including one total hottie). They all trade off instruments fairly regularly through the show. They played a number of songs from their upcoming release, old favorites from their back catalogue (including Jonathan David and State I Am In from their EPs). Running themes through the show and their lyrics: getting beat up at school for being gay, getting beat up at school for being bad at sports, coming out of the closet, struggling with your sexuality, singing in a very high voice. I think their new song about sexual harrassment "Step Into My Office, Baby" is going to be very well liked by their fans.

During the encore, they brought out their producer Trevor Horn to come sing a song. I'm sure the entire audienced groaned inwardly, until they realized with the opening riffs that THIS GUY WAS THE LEAD BUGGLE, AND BELLE & SEBASTIAN IS DOING "VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR." Very cool.

One last observation: If you're among friends who are equally devoted fans, you can KILL with a comment like "oh, sing like a man for once, Mary."

I swear I don't know any guys who admit to talking about personal grooming with other guys. They get as far as "Get a haircut?" "Yeah." and (Nod or) "Uh." before they get paranoid about hearing too many graphic details about anything more intimate.

But this is interesting. Do carry on.

Wasn't this guy the new Rick Wakeman?

Isn't it just cooler (temperature-wise) to trim? I would think that would be incentive enough.

Pet Peeve
 

You know all those nights we go out with our buddies? We spend the time discussing our feelings and dreams, sharing grooming secrets, and making serious emotional commitments to each other.

Oh, and we usually stop and ask directions at some point.

YAY FOR PUBIC HAIR DISCUSSIONS! YAY!

What these guys don't realize is that it doesn't make their dick look bigger. It makes it look smaller. The people that hear this shit know that the only guys who do this are technically challenged and have not figured out how to use the voicemail (or a phone) and so they have their secretaries do it for them, rather than to admit they can't figure out this new fangled equipment. Reminds me of a former boss who couldn't figure out how to pick up messages from home. Read the fucking manual - you can learn a lot that way.

Congratulations. You made coffee come out of my nose.

Pubic hair grooming is just the tip of the iceberg. There are very few guys out there who won't discuss their balls at the drop of a hat...

Pet Peeve
 

YAY! Balls!

What exactly is there to say about them? They hang? They are good for teabaggin?

Pet Peeve
 

Now that they have that service where C-list celebrities will call you up on the phone, I think they should have a similar service for voicemail.

"Hi, this is Tina Yothers. Jack Manfred is unavailable to take your call, but if you leave your name and number at the tone, he will return your call promptly. If this is an emergency, please press 0 to be transferred to his secretary or Meredith Baxter-Birney."

I've seriously considered asking KCRW if they would have one of their DJ's do my work/home voicemail message in exchange for a pledge. Seems like a win/win.

Dear Paigow,

Balls are filled with semen and sometimes make children even when it is an accident and you have to run out on the woman you claim to love in order to dodge your responsibilities as a father especially if the act of dodging your responsibilities as a father is something you would be infinitely more capable of doing than actually raising your own children. At least that is what my mother always told me when we talked about balls.

Love,
Pushy the Puppy

P.S., I miss you very much, Paigow.

Size, shape, hairyness, reaction to water/cold. Whether the position one is sitting in is killing them; whether jeans he's wearing aren't giving him enough breathing room. Whether sitting bitch in the back seat of the car is causing him extreme pain b/c the other two guys have their legs spread so wide so THEIR balls can breathe.

For example, a buddy's ex-GF revealed to us that he has small balls. It's frequently brought up in conversation.

And the amount that they hang: one friend admits to his balls hanging VERY LOW (as his wife tells him). Also frequently discussed. "Oh, b/c your balls hang so low."

Ask a Stuped Question... or Nadir
 

Well, since you asked...

BIG BALLS
I'm ever upper class high society,
God's gift to ballroom notoriety,
I always fill my ballroom
(The event is never small)
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all
Oh I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No-one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
Oh I've got big balls
repeat
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best.
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night
Oh I've got big balls
repeat
And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish...
Ball sucker

And just as i hear the dulcet tones of Jack Handy as I read Pushy's sheer poetics, I hear the breathing of Darth Vadar as I thin kabout your repressed balls. the poor dears.

and i never heard taht term, "bitch in the backseat". Is that redneck for sitting on the hump?

Other Bon Mots and Deep Thoughts
 

Hate to play "Top the Timmy," but I saw the same program. On TNG, the second spouse to answer does so ORALLY, not on a card. They bleeped the "fanny" part. Maybe you're having a recovered memory from a really bad game of Pictionary or something. And it was 1977, not '71.

I'd never seen the clip before "I Love the '70s," but it is the stuff of schoolyard legend. In my mind's eye, she said rather unselfconsciously, "Well, Chuck, that would be in the butt."* In the clip, she was a lot more giggly, like she knew she was going to be bleeped but couldn't resist the setup line. I felt less sorry for her than the woman in my imaginary version. I think she knew what she was doing.

*Of course, in retrospect, this was entirely unlikely, since TNG was hosted by Bob Eubanks, not Chuck Barris or Chuck Woolery. Still, I think all game show hosts should be named "Chuck."

Not so dude, bion (NEW ACRONYM ALERT-"BELIEVE IT OR NOT"), I'm a holdout.

Pet Peeve
 

Not to mention the length of the delayed reaction after being hit/kneed/accidentally struck in the balls before the unbelievably excruciating pain sets in...

Pet Peeve
 

Then here's a question...why do they have to be "adjusted" all the time. I am constantly hearing that they are not in the right place. And...this guy sitting next to me on the train the other day kept adjusting his. Like over and over and over and over again. Dude, stand up, take care of it and stop fidgeting.

Pet Peeve
 

Everyone thinks it is so fucking cool to have low hanging balls, like they are all bad ass motherfucking cool fucking hombres with their low hanging balls or whatever. But that is because everyone does not realize that low hanging balls are just that much more prone to being lopped off by errant lawnmower blades and children running with scissors. But not Penske. My main man Penske likes to follow up his ultra-marathons with a frigid ice-water bath. Ain't nothing lopping his little buddies off, short of a botched tracheotomy.

Epiphany.
 

Oh, pretty! You know what else we used to do on the playground? We used to see bridge of love coming toward our boxball boxes and grab three of our best friends and say, "quick, I am serving, you guys get in here. that pussy, bridge of love is coming and man does he lack a sense of humor". Pretty, you may be the bully that everyone secretly fears and loaths, but at least you arent bridge of love, the biggest loser of them all. He moves to our town and joins our school, and without learning the ways of the FB, he starts slamming his locker and throwing his books around the hallway. Well, I am flunking him. Back to the newcomer board for him., til he is ready to graduate to the big school. By then, he will be the hairiest motherfucker in the second grade.

So, no.

Repressed, recessed, tomato, tomahto.

Actually, on second thought, getting repressed would probably hurt like hell, given how much just getting pressed smarts.

Yes this is a f-cking joke (YTIAFJ).

Don't you remember? I always brought you Thunderbird in a paper bag, and you'd pass out afterwards in a corner. At which point we'd rob you, leave you for dead, and go blow your money on strippers.

Those were the days.

Hmmmm. This demonstrates, quite powerfully, the important distinction between "since" and "because."

I think we all know which one Sebby meant.

He was using the temporal one. His priest was obviously a watcher and he only went down on other alter boys, who did not yet have secondary sexual characteristics.

Just thought I would post in case this is relevant to anyone here.

A commuter plane crashed off the coast of Cape Cod Tuesday afternoon, News Channel 10 reported.

A USAirways Express Beechcraft 1900 flying to Albany, N.Y., declared an emergency after 4 p.m. and crashed into water three miles short of the runway while attempting to return to Hyannis. The Coast Guard said 21 people were on the plane.

State police said the plane crashed in Hyannis Harbor near Yarmouth. Rescue workers from Barnstable and Hyannis were sent to the scene. The Coast Guard sent three aircraft to search the area.

Places in DC to watch Roddick-Henman
 

I still can't find a "civilized sports bar" or a place that would be fun where tennis freaks gather to watch outstanding (we hope) tennis matches on big ass tvs. This is tonight and should be a fabulous match (which means it will probably blow but I dont think so), so where the hell can I watch this? Hurry bc I have to leave promptly to catch AGassi-Corretja which is under way.
