Was listening to my copy of Soul Caddy today, and I was AMAZED at how ironic this song sounds now.
Now Steve Perry said in an interview that he had met Tiger Woods in his travels, and thought he was such a nice and cool guy that he wrote a song about him.
Of course these days when you say “Tiger Woods is a Swinger” you don’t think “Golf Club”.
Much like this song, I don’t think the intents were ironic, but it sure is now.
This was submitted by Wallphone for the “Gun Death?” Files, but I dunno if it fits, but its too strange just to move on.
Cruel thugs stabbed a helpless hedgehog and then waited for a wildlife refuge to rescue it so they could break into their empty office and steal computers and cash worth 10,000 GBP.
I knew a guy who as a teen they would send a guy to the far side of their small Maine town to throw a brick through a store window so the small number of cops would investigate, so they could drag race on the other side of town.
Man now decades later and Jimmy Carter remembered as an incompetent failure, and the worst insult to our current President is the comparison between him and James Earl Carter.
Too racy for my blog. May be funny for yours, though.
“Send it to Weer’d! He’ll post it!” 😉
LOL! I have a coworker from Austria and one day we got to talking and I asked her to pronounce “Steyr Mannlicher”. The “Steyr” part isn’t too difficult for my tongue, so I generally say it more-or-less the “right” way (with a thick Maine Accent)
But “Mannlicher” uses sounds I was unaware the human mouth could make, and mashed together in such a way that as soon as I get one sound right the following noise my mouth makes sounds like a cow falling down a flight of stairs.
So yeah its a “Man-Licker” rifle, and I laugh like a 12-year-old every time I say it!
Police say a man charged with the murder of an 18-year-old woman killed her by striking her with a tire and a wheel in south Houston.
Not much description on HOW exactly he used these items to kill…but he sure did. Ban all guns, and those who want to kill will still kill. Those who don’t want to be killed will simply die.
Carry your guns people, the world is a dangerous place.
Looks like Chris uploaded a Miller Highlife Commercial his dad did back in the day.
Cool commercial, but I’m really amused at how much the two of them look alike at similar ages.
My Dad and I look about the same scary similar. Of course Dad never could grow a beard, so he’s clean shaven in all of his pictures in his 30s…and wearing ugly 70s clothes.
I like blues, and while I prefer the sound of Chicago Electric Blues, my favorite blues musician is Robert Johnson. He died young, and his entire catalog will fit on a single compact disk, still his music and lyrics really connect to me. Its how blues is supposed to sound, IMHO.
Of the works of Robert Johnson, my favorite is .32-20 Blues. Gunbloggers might have noticed that Tam Quotes it when talking about some of her more unique S&W revolvers, the song is talking about a .32-20 WCF revolver, which was the “Magnum” around the turn of the 20th Century.
(BTW I just pulled out my reloading manual, and I wonder if we could make a “.32-20 Super” that uses a strengthened case with a longer neck, so it can be loaded to higher pressure, and accept 123gr 0.311″ bullet from the 7.62×39 cartridge, and make a revolver and a leaver carbine….maybe a handy falling-block rifle for it. No idea WHY I’d want such a kit, but I sure do!)
OK back to blues. I was wondering this morning why .32-20 Blues never got as much love as many of Johnson’s other works. Well Youtube to the Rescue.
Doesn’t do it justice, but there’s a ton of people imitating Kieth on youtube…and not singling the lyrics!!!! 🙁
Then I found this:
Nice rock version, still I wish somebody did a modern electric blues cover of the original.
