Jorma

Jorma kaukonen celebrates a birthday today. He turns 67. Jorma is best known for his work with Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane.For what it's worth,he also made an awesome Christmas album.

'Tis the Season...

to be jolly? There's no home like place for the holidays! I think I've reached the point where I'm jealous of cult members. Those poor
deluded fuckers, at least they have a sense of purpose.

Christmas Songs

While for the most part, Christmas music annoys the hell out of me (thank god it's only seasonal ). There are some gems out there. Here's a great resource. Here are the lyrics to my personal favorite by Roy Zimmerman, and lest we not forget my friend Dave, of Zambonis fame, and the other holiday.

Gift Ideas

You can buy gifts and support a worthy cause. Here's one for the patriotic...and another.

"Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the house swillin' down them cans o' swine"

Just in time for the holidays, a ham flavored soda has been released by Jones Soda. It's hardly a new idea. Primus frontman Les Claypool sang of such a thing more than 14 years ago.

Life and Death

December 7th is known as Pearl Harbor Day. It also marks the birthday of Tom Waits , and the death of Rube Goldberg. Rube is best known for depicting complex devices that perform simple tasks in direct,convoluted ways. This video presents a fine example.

Let us all take a moment to remember "a date which will live in infamy"

Gunman gives new meaning to shop til you drop! , "He was like a lost pound puppy that nobody wanted." "He was depressed , but he looked like he was getting better." Holiday shoppers needn't worry ,time marches on.

Oy vey!!!

The rabbi says no smoking! Better stock up on the Manischewitz. Or better yet, these suds. At 11% abv they should call that Jewbelation the Hebrew Hammer!

Thanksgiving Day '07

Ahhh, It's Thanksgiving Day once again. One of the most exclusively American of the major holidays that we celebrate in this once great nation. This year the holiday falls on November 22nd which is also the birthday of our friend John Develis aka "John Dirt" or "Dirt Man" (never call him "The Dirt Guy"!). It's also the day that INXS (pronounced inks?) singer Michael Hutchence "took a belt and hung himself" ten years ago. More importantly, to us yanks, it is the date on which J.F.K. was gunned down in Dallas 44 years ago. Probably the most noteworthy thing he did as our 35th president. I'll never understand why the American people continue to canonize the Kennedys and all that "Camelot" bullshit. ........anyway, back to Thanksgiving Day. To many it means feasts and family gatherings. To me it means the beginning of the holiday crap and all the faux good will that comes with it. I think not of football,turkey and 'taters,but rather quarreling,loneliness, drunkeness and cracked windshields. I'm not completely bitter though. I am thankful for all my good friends (when I get down off my pity-pot and think about it,I am quite fortunate) and I'm thankful for the bountiful harvest. HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY TO ALL!!!!!

SAY NO TO CRACK!!!

A great gift idea and cure for "plumber's butt".
