TM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uh, yeah, someone did make that point that night. It hadn't occurred to anyone until then, and so we did some hasty remapping to skip a couple of planned stops. It was decided that 20 people looking like that pouring through certain doors might not be a good thing. |

Guess I'm showing up just as the party ends. For a soundtrack, you have to have a movie, so I've been thinking about what would be in my movie. First, there are the angry young boy against the world years. OK, let's see: Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue" was an early favorite, and works with the theme, but maybe soften it up as well with something mellower, say "Old Man" by Neil Young Then the social conscious emerges about the same time as road trips and drugs. This is good stuff. So we go with CSNY, "Ohio", Country Joe's little cheer , maybe Me & Bobby McGee , and, of course, White Rabbit (Great Society version). Bout this time the music starts changing and we hit the young hipster for whom life is one big experiment: the "Message" by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Patti Smith, "Pissing in a River" , and, for some real angst, Bartok's Violin Concertos . Finally, I'll mellow this part of my life out with Keith Jarrett's Koln Concerts. Now it's on to law school, love, and settling down. Tina Turner's "Typical Male" , the lately deceased one's "Lawyers Guns & Money" and, of course, "Mama's, Don't Let your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys". Finally, parenthood and the practice. We'll mix in "The Eensy Weensy Spider" and "Mockingbird" with a medlay of all the different versions of "Money (That's All That I Want)" and Janet Jackson doing "What Have you Done for Me Lately". OK, now you all know how old I am.

How many groups of people will be Iraqi playing cards this year? (Not in SF, of course, because that would be un-PC) I think Frankenfoods costumes would be funny - Celery stalks and stems with bolts through the neck, etc., but I'm not sure how many Americans would get it. The ten democratic Presidential candidates would be funny too, provided you could come up with costumes so that someone could tell Kerry apart from Gebhardt apart from Howard Dean. How many Kobe/Kobe's victim couples will we see? I, however, am now thinking about going as Ahnold, and just sitting on a chair and crudely propositioning wimmin - at least one will be drunk enough to say yes. |

Scariest thing I ever saw on Holloween was when my wife and I did a Harold and Maude outfit. A kid, maybe six years old, comes to the door and yells "It's Harold and Maude!" No six year should have known this. __________________ |

Here's a video clip of the Agent Provocateur/Rolling Stones underwear fashion show: http://213.248.114.91/agent_provocateur/apshow_high.asx [spree: sound and some nearly naked models, including the first one shown who seems to flash her TITS. use your own judgment.] Apparently this is the underwear that Xtina buys. $250 per pair or something. Guess I'm behind the times on this one. |

Carried at all Subway sandwich outlets, many other fast-food places, and every taqueria worth its tequila-salt-and-lime. It's quite tasty, but doesn't quite fit into the Atkins diet. Also similarly observed: day-laborers of hispanic origin will choose Coke over Diet Coke, Sprite over Coke, and pizza with topings over plain cheese pies. And they'll do a kick-ass job turning your stucco/cottage-cheese ceilings into smooth ones. str8 |
