The RW ... BS Compilation CD

Here is the latest in my series of great ideas.
I want everyone, and that includes the queen of the lurkers, to give me a list of 6 songs that they like so I can burn them to a CD(s) that will reflect the various tastes of the blog members.
I'll do the work of finding the songs, and if it works out I will send a copy to anyone who is interested.
Email your selections to me, that way it will be a MYSTERY compiliation.

Now tell me if that isn't a great idea!

The Good Times Are Killing Me

Let's all take a trip down memory lane:

I need everyone, or mostly everyone, or just boz to give me a childhood tragedy they experienced. If you guys do this I promise I'll audio post me singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President" in a seductive Marilyn Monroe voice*.

*I do not guarantee that my actual interpretation of her voice will be seductive at all.

Let's do the time warp again!!!

If you were to go to a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show which character would you go as?

I, of course, would go as Brad Majors.

I have finally verified it's authenticity

Here is the infamous Jonnie and Sandra Telephone Sex Tape that has been the subject of many rumors as to even it's very existence.
I think you'll agree this is the real deal!!!

Speaking my mind

Jonnie and the zonkboard

In Case October is Cold...

Jonnie's first annual Halloween Swim:
(or: "How much use can I get out of a 99 cent Frankenstein mask?")

Raaarrrr - I'm Franken-Jaws!

Don't be scared, children, it's just RebelLeadyBoy -

Prince Thomas (the artist formerly known as Dylan)

While I was waiting for an article to download, I got sidetracked and merged AmyJo's Dylan Thomas poem with Prince's "Purple Rain".

October in the Purple Rain

It was my thirtieth year to heaven
I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
The morning beckon
With water praying and call of seagull and rook
And the knock of sailing boats on the net webbed wall
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
Myself to set foot
That second
In the still sleeping town and set forth.
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain

My birthday began with the water-
Purple rain purple rain
Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name
Purple rain purple rain
Above the farms and the white horses
Purple rain purple rain
And I rose
In rainy autumn
I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

Pale rain over the dwindling harbour
I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
And over the sea wet church the size of a snail
With its horns through mist and the castle
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Brown as owls
But all the gardens
Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales
Baby I could never steal u from another
Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud.
It’s such a shame our friendship had 2 end
There could I marvel
Purple rain purple rain
My birthday
Purple rain purple rain
Away but the weather turned around.
Purple rain purple rain
I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain

It turned away from the blithe country
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
And down the other air and the blue altered sky
It’s time we all reach out 4 something new
Streamed again a wonder of summer
With apples
Pears and red currants
That means u 2
And I saw in the turning so clearly a child's
Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother
Through the parables
Of sun light
And the legends of the green chapels

And the twice told fields of infancy
U say u want a leader
That his tears burned my cheeks and his heart moved in mine.
But u can’t seem 2 make up your mind
These were the woods the river and sea
I think u better close it
Where a boy
In the listening
Summertime of the dead whispered the truth of his joy
To the trees and the stones and the fish in the tide.
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain
And the mystery
Purple rain purple rain
Sang alive
Purple rain purple rain
Still in the water and singingbirds.
Purple rain purple rain

And there could I marvel my birthday
If you know what I’m singing about up here
Away but the weather turned around. And the true
Joy of the long dead child sang burning
In the sun.
C’mon raise your hand
It was my thirtieth
Year to heaven stood there then in the summer noon
Though the town below lay leaved with October blood.
I only want 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain
O may my heart's truth
Purple rain purple rain
Still be sung
Purple rain purple rain
On this high hill in a year's turning.
Purple rain purple rain

Shaving Cream by Bob Dylan

No, really, seriously this time.

Bob Dylan sings Shaving Cream

Nah, I'm just kidding.
Bob Dylan's Dream

Shaving Cream

My interpretation of the Benny Bell classic, which came my way via Boz's Brickbats, Vol. I.

You Can Go Your Own Way (Go Your Own Way)

I was trying to sing Stevie Nick's Stand Back but decided to try some Fleetwood Mac instead. And this was the only Fleetwood Mac song I knew.

If you listen to this, you'll know why I had to wait until the house was empty to record it (because it's really loud). I think I scared the neighbors.

Your World View

Although you make a brave show of being self-sufficient, beneath this you are unhappy and rather mixed up. You do not know what love is, and you are more likely to boast about your conquests in a bar than prove them in a bedroom. You tend to attract the wrong kind of lover. It's hard to imagine you leading a full, happy life. The warmth and give-and-take of love are not for you. Your sex life is ringed with unreality, and you neither understand nor appreciate the opposite sex.

What Is Your World View?

While y'all are doing that, I'm going to make toast and take a bath at the same time.

CANDY CORN!?

So Jones Soda has done something, umm, interesting in the way of Halloween themed liquid death. "Candy Corn" flavored soda. I do understand that it's a characteristic of Halloween to be unappealing, and gross. But why? When I first opened the can I was instantly reminded of Apocalypse Now. Don't ask me why. There seems to be a collective similarity between the image of cows being slaughtered, men getting beheaded, the swealtering mosquito infested bowels of Vietnam and Candy Corn flavored Jones Soda. I don't know what's worse, the fact that they actually went out of their way to harness the flavor of Candy Corn or the fact that IT TASTES EXACTLY LIKE CANDY CORN.

Try if you like candy corn. Don't try it if you don't want to personally reserve your own seat in hell.

The post about rock 'n roll

The CDs have been burnt, there are 21 thigh slapping craptacular tracks on it.. some will make you laugh others will make you cry and then there are some which will just make you wanna take off your pants and dance around in your bedroom* Ive even dedicated some songs to certain house members. They should be sent off shortly (after a certain vixen emails me her Germanian home address - not you Boz!)

One band which features on the CD is Thirsty Merc, please note that this is not JUST because i believe front man Rai Thistlethwaight is sex on legs, or that i want to have his big haired children and have him look at me with those big brown eyes.... sorry i need a moment.. *sigh* Erm... yeah..




*This may be a slight exaggeration

Yeah sure.. relaxed.. thats me!

Im thinking about putting together a "Real World Aussie Style" CD for y'all.

But its kinda pricey sending it to ALL OF YOU, So i'll probably send 1 to the U.S and 1 to the beer swilling nation of Germania and then you can copy it and send it to the next sucker or if the grand poohbah wants to distribute it ( after recieving a gift from moi) that could work too.. Or maybe i just wont do it.. bastards!

Welcome!

Look at this swell welcome mat I found!

5 reasons why i dont suck

(whats goin on with me)

1. I drank five beers from five different nations last night - Geography teacher .. Oh yeah! *singing* "drinkin all ovah the weeeeeeerld"

2. Ive been walking around all day singing Stevie Nick's "Edge of Seventeen"

3. Ive lost 3 kilos.. at least the anxiety and panick attacks are good for something!

4. I had an hour long drunken ( see point 1) philosophical discussion about Buffy last night with a guy im crushing all over, after i found out he is as much of a geek as me. (we're so getting married)

5. Ive bought my ticket for the December 14th Greenday concert.

Brickbats

Yesterday I unexpectedly received a 2 CD set of Boz's Brickbats: A Compilation of Humorous, Satirical, and Novelty Songs, Vols. I&II in the mail:



Shaving Cream - Be Nice and Clean...

The gift was unexpected because it was given out as a prize for the winner of Boz's recent "Boz's Choice" contest. I actually achieved the lowest score on that quiz, correctly answering 4 out of 15 questions. My more observant half, Sandralein, won the contest however and secretly arranged to have the CDs sent to me instead of all the way to Germany.

So thank you, Liebling; and thank you, Boz!!

I'm still absorbing the impact of the 55 track collection, but I think the immortal "Shaving Cream" is my favorite. That and Screamin' Jay Hawkin's outstanding "Constipation Blues".

Jesus is my co-pilot.

Thank You!
Thank You!!
Thank YOU!!!
I am blessed!!!

5, 6, 7, 8 Who do we all love to hate?

Marcus Kellis.

...Something Must Be Done

Who is this BASTARD name taking, Modest Mouse quoting sonofabitch and why does he exist?

Grapette, Shmapette

"When I was little (and when I say this I mean when I was little-little and therefore bears no vacancy for you old people to bash my word choice) I used to ride with my dad to the post office every day to pick up our mail because our particular religious orientation doesn't actually allow us to use mailboxes or other such receival points for paper/package natured material, but anyway at this post office they would have two soda machines. One was an RC cola machine, and oh boy let me tell you if this was an "RC Cola Memory Submition Form" I'd milk it for it's money worth, but this isn't, this is a Grapette Submittal form and I'm here to talk about Grapette! The other machine was...some other machine, I don't remember it catering specifically to Grapette but I did find the big clear plastic Grapette button and I did push it (after placing the correct amount of change in the machine of course, I'm not a thief...or am I?)! Man I used to drink that stuff so much, that and RC Cola. Moreso RC Cola than Grapette, really. Okay...now that I think about it, I can only remember drinking that one can. And now that I delve, I think I bought a can of RC cola right after that to wash the taste out of my mouth. I'd say that the more appealing concept of Grapette to me is the first sip. The first sip was pretty good, I have to admit. It's not like RC cola, I can put a 2-liter down like a wounded moose-You don't know!
Well thanks for the memory Grapette! I think I'll drive out and pick up a case of Grapette and a case of RC to relive a memory or two right now!"

Grapette Memories

Wal-Mart has been selling Grapette grape soda and their website has a section called Grapette Memories that lists selected customer memories about Grapette.

I was disappointed that anecdotes don't post automatically because I sent in this one:

I recently tried Grapette for the first time and found it so delicious and affordable that I purchased 2 12-packs and 4 2-liter bottles. They didn't last nearly as long as I thought they would, because I couldn't stop drinking it.

After about 4 days, I was having sharp kidney pains and (I don't know if this is related or not, but it almost HAS to be) pain in my testicles. Also, my poopy was green! And I hadn't been eating any vegetables!!

So I took it easy awhile - the kidney pain passed pretty quickly, after I drank a lot of water. The testicle pain lasted about a week after I discontinued my Grapette consumption. And finally, after quite some time, my poopy has returned to normal.

Perhaps I am allergic to a dye or something used in Grapette, but I really don't care. It is DELICIOUS!!

I think we should all visit Grapette's Submit A Memory Page and try to get one included on their website.

Mommy

Make the scary man go away.

Ahab the Arab as sung by Ray Stevens from about 1962.
Honest, it's only slightly racist.

Boz's Choice

Only two entrants in the Boz's Choice competition.
You have until Friday to enter.
C'mon, you could be brain dead and beat Jonnie and thedexter's scores.

Medicine

For the benefit of Boz as he suffers from his sinus infection:


Woo! Woo!

That never fails to cheer me up, even if I have a fever.

Or this:


She's cooking weenies!

I'm sick today

I've got a sinus infection, do something to cheer me up.

I Like 3/4ths Timing.

Shock, Gasp, more Gasp, Soul Coughing's song $300 inspired me to write a short story about giraffes, gasp, shock, gasp, gasp, gasp.

Guess what Pepsi did?
Not suck, that's what.

I was in Food Lion yesterday seeing My Lady Erin, and then I saw this. Sitting in a little freezer, so I picked it up thinking it was the reincarnated husk of last year's summer delight: Mountain Dew Pitch Black. It was not however, it was it's newest, hippest cousin. Pitch Black II. The tagline suggest that it's back with a new sour bite, which is why I hesitated.

But I broke through the paranoia and I tried it out, and I actually liked it. It's not quite Pitch Black 1, but it's still damn good. Who knows, maybe the words "Limited Edition" clearly printed on it's silver little label are a lie and I won't have to go through withdrawl when I get addicted to it.

Like Pepsi Blue and Pitch Black.

Well this has been another SODA-RIFIC POST BROUGHTTOYOU BY _thedexter.

Hippie Nookie

I thought I'd give you a little taste by posting one of the songs from Boz's Brickbats.
It's entitled The Belle of Avenue A as recorded by the Fugs and releasesd in 1968.

Are we still friends?

To make up for my not being around much lately.. a cleavage pic.





I was seriously thinking about wearing this to a school formal funtion.. whaddaya think? Too much?
