** TREASURY OF MIRTH - PART DEUX!!**

[Count Machuki]

Jaysus, it was only a joke pretending that the story was about beebs. Youse need to get out more or get a hobby or something. That's it. Wow.

It may have started as a joke but it has reverberated through our community with hidden meaning far outlasting its initial expression.

I heard once from a reliable source that Jesus's story of the Good Samaritan started out as "A Samaritan walked into a bar. . ." but got twisted around by the Apostles.

You know not what you do and have power beyond your own comprehension, Mark.

Use it wisely.

From the home buying tips thread this bit of sensible advice from Harvey K-Tel ...

Don't buy near an abattoir unless you enjoy waking to the stench of death, blood and faeces.

Dude, she just flipped off half a b-b-billion people.
How is that not real?

Is that all it takes?

Sometimes. You try it.

Bureaucrat Dances with Madonna, Regains Street Credibility

M. Le Baron, an aspiring legal mandarin by day and obscure Internet gadfly by night, restored his twice-lost street credibility while dancing with Madonna during half time at the Super Bowl. As the cameras zoomed in on Mr. Le Baron's portly figure, he raised his middle finger to the camera and, apparently, the half-billion viewers. Though the motivation for this shocking act of transgression remains opaque at press time, rumors swirled as to whether this action reflected his well-known disdain for The Super Bowl spectacle, or whether it was meant for one Mr. Count Machuki, who had previously caused mild outrage on the Internet by his casual dismissal of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk -- widely acknowledged as a modern masterpiece.

For Mr Le Baron, this could represent the beginning of a comeback for his long lost street-credibility, first lost when he abandoned the life of the southern slacker for law school and then again when he turned his back on a career devoted to defending prisoners and sex offenders for a more comfortable position counseling appellate judges. It is unclear whether this shocking Indianapolis Incident signals a return to the formidable street credibility amassed as a record store slacker and lawyer for the damned, or whether it is an aberrant blip in a heretofore unremarkable rise as a secretive legal advisor and a leading authority on extraordinary remedies, known only to a small circle of appellate lawyers.

From TC's thread looking for some Jolly-Upness in Edinburgh:

It started with a typo ;;

Dr Markus wrote ;

48 is wrong, since we don't have an offical date what would you choose cat?

Fartpant replied ;

bla bla wikipedia....

Is that Ok for you cat? If not, why did you say 1933 ... I Googled and can't find any reference to 1933 in terms of Irish independence.

Dr Markus finally ;

Why are you calling me cat?

Still chuckling

Is cathalp invisible to everyone but me?

[Cage Free Brown]

from some thread somewhere, it doesn't really matter.

Ludwig von Anal was a Prussian General.

[brotherlouie]

Do you think that this will spawn other big stars to follow down the same road?

Given that Alex Chilton died a few years back, highly unlikely, you dumb fuck.

[beenieman]

A somewhat morbid thought, but the fact that Whitney Houston died it will totally boost the Grammy Awards ratings due to those who want to see how she will be remembered on there.

No one here gives a flying fuck about the fucking Grammys.

[beenieman]

well of

"well've" for fuck's sake.

Van Halen are playing the night of Saint Paddy's day and I'm pondering going to see them on this night of nights.
What say all you here?

FUCK OFF YOU SPASTIC SHITHEAD.

[Sea Of Tunes v2.0]

If you were a record producer... what type(s) of band would you be most interested in working with and why? What would you bring to the mix, as it were? Do you think you could do a good job of it?

If all you're interested in doing is being an enabler, that's fine, but I'd be more interested to hear about any creative approaches you'd take to making music...

To which a reply was:

I'd like to work with a load of post rock bands and take the patented Steve Albini school of minimalism one step further by actually turning the recorder off.

[brotherlouie]

Re: Oasis.

This band has some of the best pop rock anthems of the last 30 years.

They do? Why don't they record them, instead of the stuff they have released?

t. willy rye, holding his ground in hating the group bread and blaming em for balboa's early cup demise:

I stand by my statement. The result is clear: a first round exit for a man who is nearly universally respected for his taste. I do not believe that we as a nation have fully recovered from the damage that Bread and their ilk have perpetrated on us. My first feeling toward them were ones of resentment; remember those K-Tel and Ronco ads for things like Music for Lovers or Easy Listening Classics? If you are interrupting Hong Kong Phooey, you better damn well be an ad for a Green Machine or something Hot Wheels related. The images in those ads gave me nightmares: why is the nice pretty lady letting that man touch her? And then it also became the music of dentist's office. The dentist, who delivered such pain with such a pleasant smile-- and you just knew he was nailing his receptionist. Bet Bread was playing in the background for that too.

I think we need to resolve some trust issues before we let Bread back onto our turntables.

Asher Keddie......cold shower time....

She looks disturbingly like Dr Jimmy

Well then why Dr Jimmy isn't over here on the end of my knob I'll never know.
