On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coastal area for some sightseeing.

He was cruising along the sea wall on Galveston Isle in his Pope-mobile when suddenly he notices a frantic commotion just off shore.

There was John Kerry struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot long shark.

As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with two men aboard.

One of the men, President George W. Bush quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side while Dick Cheney reached out and pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious John Kerry from the water.

Then using (autographed Round Rock Express) baseball bats, the two heroes beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.

Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give you my blessings for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was some bitter hatred between President Bush and John Kerry, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

As the Pope drove off, President Bush asked Dick "Who was that?"

"It was the Pope," Dick replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has all of God's wisdom."

I figured that maybe it provides a toe hold for the chick bellet dudettes to help the geezer bellet dude get to up in the air when the do the spinny shit...

I'm sure that the chick ballet dudettes don't wear anything down the front.. they are so mega smooth there... at least as smooth as the baywatch chicks...
and everyone knows that they wax off all the nice organic dental floss, shave it some more, t-cut polish it and then get the ultra smooth finish with a buffing wheel...

I can only guess that the ballet chick dudettes do the same or something similar....

which leads me to my next research item of the day...

why do so many women want to deforest their muffin and make it look like a 6 year old's???

Bob Dylan.....

Jazzy: I wouldn't have it any other way man ;) Joe and his music is like religion for me! ha!

Hope everyone has a killer Tuesday!

cuthbert - ha... that's not a great assumption.... lmao...

I personally don't like his music and think he's a crap singer...

but he did give us a few nice songs for great players to re-record properly....

I am thinking about Christianing my guitar. Names I have chosen (I am a little bored studying for the GMAT, so I thought this up...stop laughing)

1) Xerxes
2) Infantus Metallus (means baby metallica)
3) Vag Rippa(any femistist bitches around?)
4) Chu Hyeong-uk (my guitar is made in Korea :)
5) Jazz Man (even though I cant play squat in jazz)
6) Woody

Michelle: LMAO! definitely no ass grabbing for you at the Godsmack show! Why dont you take the kids along too? Man, you must be so excited to go for the concerts. There is nothing going for me, boo hoo! So, are you going for the philly or NY shows?

Green Day's American Idiot for G3!

Have people heard about Bushisms? You know, when Bush keeps making stupid errors while he speaks not because he made a mistake but just because he's plain stupid?

Kerry for prezzy

Joe,

Billy Steel had gotten your autograph for me (on Always with Me, Always with You sheet music - at Bone Bash V). This is going to be a 1 yr. anniversary gift for my husband (it's the paper anniversary. I've just taken it to be framed. I can't wait to get it back. The song will always hold a special place in my heart - as it was the song I walked down the aisle to! Thanks so much for helping me give my husband an awesome and unique gift. I think it is something that we will both treasure for a very long time!

Best wishes to you!

And Clarky, Dylan himself once said that Hendrix had produced the definitive version of the song (Watchtower)blowing away his original...

Others that fall into this category? Remake better than the original? I'll take the Manfred Mann Earth Band version of "Spirits in the Night" over the Springsteen version any time

The Deep Purple version of "Hush" versus the original.

Another obvious one is "Black magic Woman" although the original Peter Green Fleetwood Mac version is cool in its own way.

I was reading some reviews for Green Day's American Idiot and one of the reviewers (an obvious redneck probably from Indiana) asks Green Day to "go back where you came from!." Green Day is from the Bay Area, California, USA.

Cuthbert, I agree with Summertime Blues (prefer the Who Live at Leeds version over either Blue Cheer or Rush) and Pretty Woman, although I thought Orbison's cool falsetto was good for that song. Of course one can also talk about "Ice Cream man" but I do not wanna pick on old blues guys, I prefer pretty much ALL blues remakes over their originals.

crushingday62, cool, are you using the midisport 2x2 for recording guitar? I'm just wondering how well it handles it and what the quality/speed is like, considering it's USB transfer and not firewire.

Here's the reason - I have a laptop which i've been using for my cubase projects. It does the job....I just need a sound card so I can record the guitar. A Firewire 4/10 would be great, but the laptop has no firewire port. I could get a 'PC Card' which goes in one of the card slots, with a firewire adapter on the end, but since the laptop has a pair of USB ports on the back, it seems like not such a bad idea just to get an external USB Sound Card, like the midisport!

Your thoughts and experiences with the 2x2 would be appreciated!

Bush doesn't have these properties. He is probably one of those who thinks England is in London. He doesn't understand foreign culture, and doesn't understand how to integrate his nation into global economy. Instead, he's trying to shut off the outside world, and keep the US to itself, which on the face of it....yeah great......but the most powerful nation on the globe will always have strong affects on the rest of the world.

I don't recall him covering any big plans to help the thrid world. Where is the support for Africa and South America? I guess they are on the b-list, cause daddy never started a war with them which he didn't get finished doing.

For cryin out loud, he has succesfully blurred the line between 9/11, Osama Bin Laden, Afghanistan, and WMD's, Saddam Hussein and Iraq. They are two different conflicts, or at least they were, but now they're in the past, it's okay to say..."well, actually, I just wanted a crack at Saddam. I was just cleaning up what pop started 10 years ago".

I have nothing against the US. I don't think Kerry would be the perfect president, but I think he'd do a whole lot more good for the US as a part of the rest of the world than Bush is capable of.

All just my opinions, so please don't anybody take it the wrong way! I think i'm done on that subject.

How about Elton John letting Madonna have it about having lip-sinc on her last tour?

Artanis I - Okay, cool. What did you want the Legos for? Do you have a collection, or...?

MICHELLE: miss talkin to ya too....sparky....lmao....well the usual off and on....i think the spark has been smothered....lol

cuth: Mn will be giving me a stack of dimes pretty soon. not cool.
