fatape - Yeah haha thank's for the vid!! Used to love Milton The Monster. Analogy works well - Professor Weirdo and Count Kook - Joe and Mike right?? And who could forget the tincture of tenderness, and they must use only a drop?? That's Joe too.

Yay Spain is in the final - I am guaranteed a dividend from the office sweep - fingers crossed for the biggie.

Do the Stu - Thanks for sharing. It's nice to know that among all of the hardships in this country right now, our fine gov't is about to set aside millions of dollars to fight a nearly bankrupt state on a law that should have been passed 30 years ago.

I think the biggest problem with this entire issue is that Washington has had it's d#ck stuffed between it's legs for over 30 years on this issue. One of the most over used terms in every presidential election for 3 decades has been "We need tough immigration law." Well, some woman decides to grow a set and actually implements the plan, and now Washington just can't live with that. They really should just re write this bill a little and make it mandatory that ALL people stopped for ANY reason by the police need to produce a SS card that can be verified. And then everyone can get their feelings hurt over this issue. But atleast it would equal across the board.

Death Cube K - lol. Yep, I also grew up in Maine and I can't think of too many Canadians I met in my lifetime that just had to jump the border and hang out in the woods of Maine with the Black Bear and Moose!

Death Cube K - South Portland for me. I was just in Bath a few weeks ago. I hadn't been home for quite some time. Quite a few things had changed. There's more than 1 way in and out of the airport now! lol.

Scubz, if my face didn't hurt so bad I might be laughing a bit harder. Just sit the hell down and stay away from the stove at least. lol! Kitchen mishaps usually aren't as pretty. At least yer bones held firm old man :-) Hope yer feeling better soon.

Great weight loss secret... get an abscess tooth over a holiday weekend and have to wait four days for the dentist to be in. Instead of getting the spot of abscess (to put it nicely), the infection (aka PAIN) is traveling in my jaw up to my ear, down to the middle of my chin, and down my neck and into my lymph nodes. It hurts to move my head, swallow, and eating is just stupid. It literally feels like I have a broken jaw, and I can't even open my mouth a half inch. Started antibiotics Tuesday, but they're doing a whole lot of nothing. Gotta wait till this coming Tuesday to see the oral surgeon. Calling my dentist all day to try to get some pain meds because 4 Advil every 4 hours isn't doing anything. My luck, she's not in. GRRRR! I'm starting to consider Al's recommendation of just drinking Jager through a straw. He might be onto something.

Anybody need to piss and moan and get it out of their system? Go for it! lol! Today is Throw Down Thursday! Go on and get it off yer chest! lol!

Now, back to our regularly scheduled banter...

ps - Happy Birthday Mac! I miss ya, ya old fart! RIP

minimoog - I've only heard the song Let Me Hear You Scream once or twice and it hasn't done much for me. I love all of Ozzy's previous solo stuff, but to be honest I have no interest in buying an album at this stage in his career that doesn't have Zakk Wylde on it.

I'll probably buy it next time I see it in a store for cheap (that's the completist in me talking), but I won't go out of my way to get it.

As a journalist it bugs me too, how reporters will just be spoonfed crap from one side and they'll repeat it in print without even thinking about it.

What's the weather like in Philly today? It's even cooler in Long Beach than it was yesterday...64!

Michelle--Salt water rinses help me when I have a toothache. Also ask your kitties for some help with some gentle rubs at your elbows. Maybe that will help keep your mind off the pain for awhile. Listen to Joe, Steve Vai and Dave Weiner.....all that great music helps soothe whatever ails ya. Hope you get to that dentist asap. and feel better real soon.

Mr. A McKenna--Nice Aeolian Island song. Lookin' forward to the finished colllection of songs. Nice to have another CD to listen to along with On Resolute and the latest Hendrix.

JOE--Waiting to hear from you about your soon to be released CD with all the special surprises on it.

Michelle - is the wait nearly over?

Michelle- An abscessed tooth is miserable, when I had mine the dentist gave up his lunch hour to remove mine the same day I called . I tell you , I'll love that man for life .....seriously though ......hope you get better soon.

Scuba- Glad you were not injured seriously

Temps 99 degrees..its flippin hot . Glad the air cond is workin

Thanks peeps. Every day, the later it gets at night, the worse it gets. From 7:00 pm on it's excruciating. Also on the verge of lockjaw I believe. Dunno what to do. Parents are coming over cause their AC went out. *sigh* I think I'm gonna cry.

Hi Tom, yes, it's been hot.

edit: Talked to a BC/BS ask a nurse from Chicago. She sounded a lot like one of my bestest buddies in Iowa. She made me feel a lot better and had a great sense of humor. God bless ya Karen! Just took 2 Tylenol pm. Hopefully that'll get me through the night. Got my parents here for the night too. Hope everyone has a smoov night and a better day tomorrow.
