Normal

Here is my car, my phone and my TV
I've got it all but you can see through me

But am I here?
It's kind of hard to tell
I do a good impression of myself
But what's normal now anyhow?

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day

Prescription drugs they help me through the day
And that restraining order keeps me well at bay
But what's normal now anyway?

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day

Wish I was old and a little sentimental
You gotta see the waves, not the wine bottle

Roostahz n the Coop

Here dey come
Bad, Bad Roostahz
Gonna bust a beak
In yo' ass

Bad, Bad Roostahz
Dey be da baddest
Of de bad

Gonna punk 'em up
Gonna bok-bok 'em up
You don't squawk
Wit' dem Roostahz

Until one day
Mary and her Little Lamb
The Big Bad Wolf
Three Blind Mice
and Humpty-Dumpty
All came and nuked
Dah Coop

And had Bad Bad Roostahz
For dinner.

The end.

So Tired. So Very Tired.

I just want to take a long, long, long nap.

And wake up in a golden field filled with streams of vodka-soda, daffodils that emit pure cocaine, and animals made entirely of hemp and opium.

Oh, wait. That's the Monturf's dream.

I just want to nap.

Roy Scheider, R.I.P.

Just heard that actor Roy Scheider has passed away. He was obviously best known for his role as Chief Brody in "Jaws" (one of my all-time favorites) and it's sequel - but it seemed like whatever film or TV show I saw him in, he always did a very good job, even if the film wasn't that great.

I highly recommend watching him in both "The French Connection" movies, along with "Jaws".

Hok! Hok! Bah!

You Are Fairly Normal

You scored 55% normal on this quiz Like most people you are normal in some ways... But you aren't a completely normal person. You're a little weird too! Why You Are Normal: You are still with your first love You'd rather be screwed over than screw someone else over You think glasses can make someone more attractive When you're in a car, you prefer to be the driver You would rather be pale than tan Why You Aren't Normal: If given the choice, you would choose to have more time over more money You think fishnet stockings are sexy If you had to, you rather live without laughter and still have music You know a little about many subjects You prefer a good nap to a good meal

What's Normal About You... And What's Not?

Life is Beautiful

The Patriots lost. Now, uber-jerk coach Bobby Knight has quit on his team in the middle of the season, and presumably (hopefully?) we'll never hear from him again.

To top it off... got my taxes filed tonight. And, tada! The feds owe me for the first in three years. Not a lot, but I get to take, instead of give.

Oh, the sweetness.

Oh, the Sweetness!

Once in a while, life does something Really Great.

Watching the hated Patriots, their lying, cheating, arrogant S.OB. coach and their overrated golden boy QB go down in flames...priceless.

Once in a while, New York is actually good for something. Imagine that. Thank you, Eli, Plaxico, and Co. Ruining the Patsies season was a beautiful thing to witness...

Great Newspaper Column...from...uh...a Reliable Source.

Sports Babble

Congratulations to Broncos left tackle Gary Zimmerman for being elected into the Hall of Fame. Very well deserved, and overdue.

But a huge thumbs down (and other hand gestures) to the committee for not putting linebacker Randy Gradishar in. One of the best inside linebackers ever since the merger in 1970 - a very sure tackler and great goal-line defender. It's a disgrace that Randy wasn't elected a long time ago.

Certainly he should have gotten in before frickin' Andre Tippett. Oh, wait. Tippett played for the Patriots, the "golden boys". Hmm. Well, they cheat at everything else, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

On to the New England Fudgepackers...

New England should forfeit all their titles. The entire Patriots front office, and their Hitler-esque coach Bill Belichick, should be banned for life from the NFL. If the allegations are true (and it looks very much like it is-otherwise, why all the cover up?) then the scandal is every bit as bad as the Black Sox throwing the World Series back in 1919.

Perhaps Roger Goodell and his cronies involved in destroying evidence need a little visit from the FBI. Considering the amount of money the Super Bowl generates, and the revenue of the NFL in general, how can people whine if the government wants to take a look at what's going on? Yeah, I'm talking to you, Sean Salisbury. (What a brain-dead stooge.)
