if Dave Letterman played with Spinal Tap

You'd have this show, but different music. "Balls To the Wall" is really a good song, especially considering the age.

plinks, links, clinks

I found Bango-Tango (interesting 1993 speed bass) after researching Faster Pussycat.
I had been looking for the name of the band Bango-Tango for quite some time.

And you thought Tammy Faye Baker wore a lot of makeup, check out these bands!

and I was egged for my comments

Despite being a Hoosier and regardless whether I want Colts to win, I predict the following result: Chicago Bears win over Indy Colts by 12 points.

splat, splat, TP, splat, flaming bag of poo, burning horseshoe in lawn ... boy are these hicks crazy!

I expect "Blue Sunday" to be followed by Blue (as in sorrowful and quite unproductive) Monday. The Colts just squeeze by, pull a win by a moment only. For this reason, I predict that they won't win. Chicago has been making a mess of the challengers and quite frankly the Colts have valuable players with injuries. I cannot honestly expect a win for the Colts.

traveling back to the 70s for fast food

I went to Purdue, West Lafayette, today. On my way there I had essentially Rap that I didn't like, country to which I don't listen or 70s. I chose '70s music and near Lafayette (not West), there was a 10-mile fast food oil smell that was unavoidable. Now, I didn't see any fast food in the area where I smelled it. It was quite odd.

I heard around 75 minutes of 70s music .. feeling like I went back in time. I turned it to another station that mentioned DVDs, so I know I kept in this time period. Near Logansport I smelled the most wicked batch of sulfer ammonia -- undiscovered 2006 Easter eggs or the wonder of industry and farms -- as speculated by my niece, whom I picked up at Purdue. There are both pig and cattle farms there, as well as a wide section of river and industries. 25 miles East of that are quarries and a US-24 Mount Stinky, aka landfill about .4 miles off the highway.

Delphi had a neat dedication that I shot while stopped at a light.

Here is an ammo, gunshop on the highway. Was there thinking involved here?

oh, and I drove ... I drove so far away

I left early afternoon to pick up niece at Purdue. She is good and ready to leave for the weekend. This semester appears to be more challenging and she doesn't much care for all of that. She also had to switch her majors. The good news for the both of us is that I am not taking old clunker aka my car. I borrowed "the van" which is much more comfortable. It'll be 7 before I see this laptop again.

This sucks!

Super vampires. Holy bad cartooning!

done in

My father got a call yesterday from a fellow church member. He doesn't know the family much at all, still the call was distressing. The family's 41 year old son committed suicide.

Damn ... may God have him.

God in Heaven ... my only friend

"Badlands",
Metal Church

.........
I ride alone, the wasteland that I cross
Will take another life, we'll take another loss
I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes
The artic cold at night, the earth, it tells me lies

God in heaven, my only friend
Will I live to see my journey's end?
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself: Never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way

No more paradise, no more soothing rain
All the sacrifice, the pain is all the same
Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies

Will these lonely nights ever end?
Will I live to see my journey's end?
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself: Never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way

The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky,
Patiently waiting, they wait for me to die
Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun
Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won?

Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself: Never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way

What, huh?

By far the most bizarre, seemingly real video.

Sperm driver.

Poseidon 06

Unlike the "Adventure", this one is 90 minutes. I think the new version did a nice job of reminding you of the terror and mess involved with the moments after the ship flips. There was a scene where the survivors heard hundreds of screams, then they were silenced. The pace of the movie was quick, but the characters were all expendable. There was a messload of fire all thing considered. I have to submit the following criiques that bugged me.

Overall I think it was around 50-50, so you could watch it in the background doing something else. If you watch it hoping for a good-great movie, you'll be sorry.

[WARNING: SPOILER]

The small band of people were traveling up. They actived a pump that was manual. At the rate of filling, the person in a ship, rightsize up would drown almost instantly. There also isn't a real application regarding daisy chain effect. If the ship is upside-down and is taking on ballast ... where is it drawing ballast, the top?

I liked seeing Andre Braugher as the Captain, though he was used little in the film. Richard Dreyfuss, an old distraught gay man replaces (vibrant old guy who finds a seventeen year old quite attractive -- from Posseidon Adventure). Kevin Dillon as the ass who I thought was going to boink or rape one of the ladies.

The ship was completely sunk, with a ridiculous action scene with propellers moving. There wasn't as much story as flash here.

The survivors basically setting up the ship to sink did provide them with incentive to leave the dead where they were, no matter who they were. The raft with beacon sitting nicely near the ship regardless of explosions -- huh?
