It is also where undercovercalico is…you know the one who usually does the Saturday Pony Parties….who brings us Saturday Morning Art! and many other Interesting Ponies at noon and six…?
It is also where many of the DD girls & I believe maybe a couple of the DD guys(?) are today.
Don’t rec this pony cause it’s really lame. Go to the Front Page and find one of the many excellent essays there to recommend. They deserve it, this doesn’t.
And if by chance another Pony Party shows up at 6pm….go there and leave this one hangin in the wind.
but my friend, we’ll call him Bill, received another shipment of vinyl. In it was an album by The Monks.
So Meg and her fan will have to wait.
Introducing The Monks
Gary Burger: Lead guitar, lead vocalist
Larry Clark: Organ, vocalist
Dave Day: Banjo (initially rhythm guitar), vocalist (died January 10, 2008)
Eddie Shaw: Bass guitar, vocalist
Roger Johnston: Drums, vocalist (died November 8, 2004)
All the members were American GIs stationed in Germany in the mid-sixties. They began playing together in 1964, calling themselves the 5 Torquays. The Torquays differed little from countless other bands of the time: They covered Chuck Berry songs and played music inspired by the British beat groups. But the band experimented together musically – Gary Burger said:
“It probably took us a year to get the sound right. We experimented all the time. A lot of the experiments were total failures and some of the songs we worked on were terrible. But the ones we kept felt like they had something special to them. And they became more defined over time.”
Shaw told me in a 2003 interview. “Our crowd was a harder crowd, so to speak. We’d play that song very sarcastically, and the whole audience would sing, ‘I want to fuck your hand.'”
I’m still in shock – my team, the Cardinal, beat UConn 82:73 last night in the first of the two final four games in the women’s NCAA basketball tourney.
This is the first time the Card have gone to the final game since 1992. I’m so excited! The past two games in which Stanford has played (Elite 8 and Final 4) were so well-played by both teams – that was some seriously great basketball. I do hope the final game, versus the dreaded Tennessee, will be equally engaging.
Alright, I suppose you could easily make the argument that not everybody wakes up in the morning and thinks:Wow, I want to see some Bosch. So, I am a bit socially “tone deaf”. Eight years of Bush kind of invokes those images. The limits of bizarre have stretched way beyond those super strong garbage bags they invented so you could mash more of your shit into one bag. Has anybody thought about doing space exploration so we could find new garbage dumps?
Well?
Advice we might want to consider following next week at the girl mash up. Girls plus one brave boy.
I am a cheap drunk. The good news is my hair is short so you won’t have to hold it back.
Please don’t rec pony party, hang out, chit chat and then go read some of the excellent offerings on our recent and rec’d list.
I might try and slip out to take pictures at a local cat show today. When I was holed up on the couch I kept flicking through the channels going: people watch this? You know. Real Supermodels of Housewife County. Or. Plastic Surgery For Kids: The Pre-School Edition. I have a touch of cabin fever.
Today. Anniversaries. Martin died 40 years ago today. The peace sign made its debut. That was fifty years ago.
MLK… and peace. A man who shared his vision of love, equality, and brotherhood, and a little symbol that became instantly recognized as the totem for peace… both caused fissures in the fault lines of human interaction.
I have once again been seduced (gently, pleasantly, lovingly, with only a playfull spanking) into filling in for RiaD, who is recovering from an illness, probably not this one:
New and deadly viruses passed through sweet food and domestic animals
hang out if you like and show RiaD what fun she missed messing with her writing stuff, then go to the Front Page where people have been kicking ass with great skill and virtuosity.
…..at the risk of making Docudharma look like a Gilmore Girls fan site…
I’m having ‘a moment’. The constant Hillary-bashing that I’m seeing, hearing, and reading in nearly every area of my life has me absolutely sickened. In no way do I choose to defend Hillary’s choices, votes, politics, or even her very candidacy; it would just be really nice to see ANYTHING she has said or done evaluated objectively. And yes, I can hear you wondering…”73rd, whatever does that have to do with The Gilmore Girls?”
