yep, 12 dead and 31 wounded

That's effed up!

Texas senator Kay ? is saying that one of the shooters was going to be shipped back to the war (3rd tour?), and he flipped out. It's really not gonna help matters than his name is Islamic. People will freak on that alone. Soldiers are from every background, but due to the hype, we all gasp. Send me back to war for the third time, I'd prolly start friggin shootin' somebody too.

End the fucking war already!!!

So sad.

War is good for nothing.

Shooting rampage at a major military base in the U.S.A.?!?!? Seriously...WTF???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time to head up to LA for the Jimmy Kimmel taping.

Look for me (and cosmic_ape) on TV tonight, if you want. We'll be in the regular studio audience, which I think is different from the crowd that'll be in front of the band as they perform. I don't watch the show, so I'm not sure how it works.

I've heard they'll do two songs...any guesses on what they'll play? I'm expecting Oh Yeah and Soap On A Rope, but I'd love to be surprised and get a pair like Sexy Little Thing and My Kinda Girl instead.

turboIan, I agree 100% with yer soapbox rant. Sorry you had to see it first hand. Did I mention I hate war?

115 miles - you go boy!! lol!

Don1852, hope yer feeling better soon.

Anyways, I just got off the phone with me mum. She's going down hill again. They just put her on an antibiotic (again) for 10 days because they think she might be starting to get pneumonia. She's also filling up with fluids in her legs and feet and has gained a few pounds from it. That's soo not good. She's sick from taking one of her antibiotics on an empty stomach - her plea - "I had jello". *sigh* I'm tellin' ya, raising yer parents is the hardest thing. Anyways, very frustrating convo, so I'ma go have a nice cocktail and see if I can get my shoulders to come down a few notches. Right now, the tension has them feeling like they're up around my ears.

Happy place, happy place, where for art thou happy place?

From my phone...

Chickenfoot played Sexy Little Thing, Oh Yeah. and Turnin' Left. Before they started, they jammed on SLT and Give It Away (RHCP).

Joe threw me a pick and Chad jumped into the crowd at the end.

More from me later...

Do The Stu - thanks for the update and the pic it was great!! I think I can watch the episode via the ABC website on tomorrow night.

M - hope Vivian feels better soon, antibiotics are damned if you do, damned if you don't sometimes.

elpp - that was funny, can't see Glitzy ridin' the Boston Marathon though haha....

Glitzy - good luck again buddy!

Sorry to hear about the awful events in Texas, good grief it leaves you dumbfounded.....

So...I could've sworn the pick I got came from Joe, but I just looked at it and it's one of MIkey's. It hit me in the neck the way Joe's have in the past, so I assumed...haha. Does anyone have a Chickenfoot pick from Joe from this tour? Is it "heavy" like his usually are? This one wasn't that thick, but I wonder if he was maybe using one of Mikey's. Anyway, that's a minor thing...

The Chickenfoot performance was filmed tonight, but it won't actually air until Friday night's show. They filmed a lot of things out of order...we saw a few interviews that won't air until Friday, a musical performance that won't air until closer to Christmas, and then all of the show that aired tonight except for the band (which was filmed previously). As a result, there weren't many opportunities for us fans to cheer in response to the "...and coming up next, Chickenfoot!" bumpers...but oh well.

In closing I'll say that I don't think Jimmy Kimmel is funny at all. He's OK on some of the Comedy Central stuff he's done in the past, but I don't think his style comes across well on a major network. He had some video skits that were just painful to sit through...argh.

Thanks for the report Austin I'm sure it would have been Joe's pick he knows you so well. You may care to attend to your email too :0)

For Chickenfoot in Australia say "aye"!

I pre ordered Chickenfoot special edition DVD etc from HMV...it was dispatched a couple of days ago...but with the postal strikes who knows how long it will take to get here....or where it will go first!

Dontcha just hate waiting!!!!

How long has it been since the last G3...seems like forever!!!

How do these people survive

ONE

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)

TWO

I was checking out at the local Woolworths with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.
Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.

THREE

A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'
(keep shuddering!!)

FOUR

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked.
She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'
'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk....'
PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

FIVE

Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.
Brunette, by the way!!

SIX

A mother calls 000 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer....'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'

Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!
