Just now listened to the podcast interview with Sammy, Joe and Mike. What fun! The sexy little thing sounds like a fun song with a little Viagra, Levitra and Cyalis thrown in....Of course Sammy has his own opinion about just doing it a naturale....."Popping buttons off the front of your pants....ooooo what a clear mental image that creates.......wooo!!! woooo!!!

as per usual alan - cba.

atta boy!

Austin.........All that for today???

Anybody dig the show Rescue Me? It's starting again on April 7th at 10:00 pm est. It's my favorite show! It's a damn shame it's only on a few weeks a year.

Sweet! They're filming some stuff for the movie The Last Airbender at our Reading Pagoda tomorrow! They've been doing renovations on it for the past few years. New bright red lights around the edges of each tier, clearing the brush surrounding the base of the Pagoda (damn fire bugs!) and stuff like that. It's pretty cool that a movie will be shot there. It's a beautiful place and a landmark of the city I grew up in.

At night you can see if from miles around at the top of Mt. Penn. It's really beautiful for the crap city it's in.

This shite makes my fuckin blood boil.....BBC news on the Michelle Obama visit

"By Wednesday evening she had sported four different outfits, from a bright yellow dress designed by Jason Wu (the man behind her inaugural ball gown), to a sparkly cardigan and skirt set by US high street store J Crew (another of her favourites). The fashion press have so far given her outfits the thumbs up"

Scuba:ah got out wrong side o bed...mornin rant n all that

Slan, at least they're not pointing out all her fat (she has none). They eat that shit up when women are 2 lbs over their "expected" weight. Who cares what they're wearing or who made it or what it cost. Michelle's $250. dollar J Crew sweater would be no match if McCain's wife would be the first lady. They'd be telling us how many thousands of dollars her sweater would cost. Personally I'd rather not know

These press mo's have nothing better to report

Ah...it's nice to see I caught a few people with the April Fools' joke. I know it was long and over-done, but I think it's more fun to go way overboard and see just when people finally "get" it. I expected that moment to be right where it was for michelle, with Z.Z. playing bass. ;-)

I'll have to change my strategy next year, and come up with something short and sweet...

That'd be something, but it won't happen. Eddie would never allow it...he wouldn't let the band Soul SirkUS open for Van Halen in 2004 because Neal Schon and Deen Castronovo were in it...that project grew out of Planet Us, which included Sammy and Mikey.

Satch was a part of that too, and now that they're in Chickenfoot together I think we can rule out Eddie ever doing G3 or anything else Satch-related. It's unfortunate, as it's something I'd love to see...but I'm looking forward to Chickenfoot more.

Hehehe...it's nice to see someone enthusiastic about filming. My usual reaction here in Long Beach is "Argh...they're blocking off streets for filming AGAIN? I hate CSI: Miami!"

Good morning to you, by the way! ;-)

It bugs me that the general public loves it to. Just how does the clothing of the first lady or a movie star affect your life? Argh...

Austin- When I was about 9 or 10 I was just getting into Kiss. The Love Gun album had just came out, they were releasing stuff like mad.tons of hype. They were at their peak. It was magical for a lot of kids my age. I was never crazy about the lineup change even when Peter left the band. It just was never the same. I did like some of the Kiss/ metal era but when they dressed up the two other guys I said to myself, it's over.

Austin, mama M: *sigh* its all fashion/celebrity talkshows, big brother, singers & Fame dance TV here, drives me feckin nuts n the people LOVE it, the world should round up all these clowns in a fuckoff balloon n pop the mutha when its reached altitude...now THAT would be good TV!

Mikesb--Facing life-threatening illness is so tough and you have my respect for what you are going through. I lost my mother-in-law to cancer 4 months after my Steve and I were married. However, I was so glad she was able to attend our wedding and see her only son (only child) happily married.
