Things Bouncing Around This Head of Mine - July 10, 2008

- I downloaded the new Mötley Crüe album, The Saints of Los Angeles. They are back from the dead in a big way. It is their first album in eight years and the first with the original lineup of Vince, Tommy, Mick and Nikki since their Dr. Feelgood album was released 19 years ago! This new album is awesome! It might be their best album ever. No ballads, just 13 hard rocking tracks. I highly recommend that you buy this record. I have to see them live when they go on tour this summer. ***Click here to view The Saints of Los Angeles official music video***

- I also recommend that you read their autobiography The Dirt. A very entertaining read. In fact, Their Saints of Los Angeles album is based on this book. It is sort of a concept album. With all the decadent things these guys did, it is a surprise that they are still alive! But the book is also about karma and redemption. It is a lot deeper than just sex, drugs and rock n’ roll.

- I recently re-joined Netflix. I started with 1970s high octane muscle car cult films. First off was Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry starring Peter Fonda and Susan George. I think I need to buy a Susan George poster and hang it on my wall. Man oh man she was such an underrated sex symbol in the 1970s! I found this fellow blogger's page who did a nice homage to Susan George. My next muscle car flick from Netflix is Vanishing Point from 1971.

- OK now for the humor portion of this program:

- Doc, I bet I can make you cringe. I started watching South Park now. Hee hee.

- Yesterday I heard my cubical buddy Leap O' Faith say: 'Oh my God, he is going to shit a pickle.' I don't know who she was referring to but it made me chuckle.

- Whitey Houston was wrong! I DO NOT believe the children are our future. Have you been in a grammar school recently? Jeez. We need to start to find an alternative source for our future other than our children.

- I saw this vanity license plate that said HJQ- 752. I wonder what it means? LOL

- If money is the root of all evil, then what is the tree of all evil?

- Who do The Joneses keep up with? And by the way, who the hell are The Joneses? I'd like to meet them.

- I really love Tabasco Pepper Sauce now. I used to hate hot foods. I guess I have developed a tolerance. But it does not go well on oatmeal in case you were wondering.

- "Man the soccer game was awesome!! There was a riot in the crowd and I stepped on somebody’s head! It was wild!....Hmm? ...Oh the final score was zero to zero.”

- Doc, Will Angelina Jolie name her twins Castor and Pullox? (Please read Doc’s previous blog within this link about these Gemini Twins).

- I am going to mass produce a line of hand lotion for Spanish matadors and call it Oil of Olé!

- If ‘socks’ can also be spelled ‘sox’, why can’t ‘sex’ also be spelled ‘secks’? But there is also a word spelled 'sects'. Hmm, bizarre.

- And finally, please vote for Jason Giambi to make the 2008 All Star Game. In fact, the American Mustache Institute is pulling for him. Yes apparently this is a real organization. Click here to view their site and vote for Giambi. In fact a lot of Yankee fans - men, women and children - are wearing fake thick mustaches in homage for Mr. Giambi.

- I won’t be going to the All Star Game at Yankee Stadium, but I will be going to the DHL FanFest at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center in Manhattan. Click here to view the festivities.
