Notes from NanoCindy's Birthday Celebration, 2006 (East Side of the Table edition):
- George Brett's displeasure at a bad call will never not be funny to habcous
- Habcous remembers his Rush loving roommate dissing on Nirvana the day after Cobain died. Nirvana's performance at the 1992 VMA's was notable for the way fans took over the stage, Kurt forgot the words, and Krist Novoselic threw the bass up in the air and nearly knocked himself out. While Dave Grohl went on to Foo Fighters, Novoselic got into politics.
- Our table had been studiously avoiding the Transformers teaser trailer for fear that it would ruin their memories, while the Saab transformers style commercial was lauded by wiepooh.
- Maybe I was thinking about "the new kick-butt chick on the Charmed block when we had trouble identifying the cast.
What did your end of the table talk about?
I, too didn't like Nirvana in 1991, and I stand by that statement today. There are at least five albums from the 90s that are better than Nevermind, despite VH1's insane claim that it is better than, not only every Beatles' album but the white album, not only every Led Zepplin album, but also Carole King's Tapestry, and Joni Mitchell's Blue
I stand by my claim that, from the minute "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hit the radio, Nirvana has been the most overrated band I know of.
This has been your daily installment of overly strong opinion by Valatan. Please go about your daily rounds.
Speaking of George Brett, enjoy this paean to the moustaches of baseball. By the way, there's a typo in the article: the #1 and #2 positions must have accidentally been switched.
Not to mention, Goose gossage is way to low. And seeing Al Hrabowsky in a Royals uni makes baby Jesus cry.
For your amusement and joy, the master 'stash of Cardinals 'stasches. Every moustasche is rated on a scale of 0 to five Keith Hernandez heads.
Perhaps this tread should be hijacked for the gallery of "moustaches of AE men"
Speaking of the Transformers trailer, here's an entertaining open letter to Michael Bay (scroll down a few posts to find it or search for Michael Bay).
Though, shouldn't Soundwave actually be an ipod? Wouldn't a tape deck stand out more than any other damn thing possible in the modern day? When's the last time any of you have seen a tape deck?
Speaking of iPods: you can take yours onto the plane, but keep careful track of it or you might become a terrorist.
Where would Ratchet, Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, and the others live if Soundwave is an iPod?
Ok, that's true--but he at least need to be a CD player, and the latter somehow become transforming CDs.
I don't even think a contemporary 10 year old would be able to recognize what the hell a tape deck was
