Discuss amongst yourselves - July 25th

You end up in the middle of a bar brawl. What song would you like to have playing on the jukebox?

So many choices....

- Anything by Linkin Park

- "Gravel Pit" - Wu tang Clan

- "Dem Phonies" - Roots Manuva

- "Just A Day" - Vanessa Carlton (That would throw people off, and allow me to kick super ass).

Like you're immune to the siren call of Vanessa Carlton. You'd be slow dancing with the rest of them.

That's a waltz. And a fast one.
Shows how much you know.

Besides, you and I would be immune, both having huge amounts of hair growing out of our ears to block the sound.

Sorry to interrupt this lovers' quarrel, but wouldn't "Hit me with your best shot" be kick-ass? What's up, Pat B?

Or...
"Another one bites the Dust" sung by Queen...

Kris, you want in? We can have a Threesome Quarrel...
Dave said…
Better Hit me With Your Best Shot then Love is a Battlefield. If that one came on, the dime-a-dance girls would get all up in our shit.

"Whip It" by Devo. When a problem comes along, you must whip it. Whip it real good.

Speaking of siren calls, I am powerless against the force of "Discuss amongst yourselves".

So many choices, apparently the soundtrack in my head is perfectly scored for violence.

Let's pretend it's a long fight and start with Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' as we circle each other and make attempts at hair-grabbing. Then 'Godless' by Mason Jennings ("k-killed a man, now I'm on the run...") and ending with 'Suffragette City' by David Bowie ("she's a total blam blam") that crescendoes with "aaaaaaah, wham bam thank you ma'am".

As I walk out of the bar, bloodied but triumphant, it'd be BJ Thomas' 'Somebody done somebody wrong song' melding with the stereo from the El Camino in the parking lot blaring 'Mediocrity Rules' by Le Tigre. Finally, when I start my own car, no doubt a Chevelle with patches of house paint, it would be one of the finest soul songs of all time: Marion Black (who's a fella) singing 'Who knows'. On cassette.

Dave, someone at my house appears to have stepped on or played field hockey with my laptop and until I buy a new one in Dubai I'll have to stay late at work one day to give Jared (which I rally like) a proper read/response. Sorry for the delay.

Gotta be the man in black's "Ring of Fire." Everytime.

As a traditionalist, I definitely have to put Kungfu Fighting into the running.

Although, knowing the fights I tend to get into, perhaps Girlfight might be more appropriate. It's perfect for pulling out clumps of another ho bag's hair weave.

Conversely, Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody would be a lot of fun.

But my vote goes to Black Betty; I used to box to that song regularly, it's real Tuff.

I'm back for my three-way quarrel but others have joined the fray. It's a poly-way! Wuh?

I thought Jay meant "Black Velvet." That would be hot, only if we were all sweaty like Matthew McConaughey and Ashley Judd were in A Time To Kill. Delish.

I've been trying to figure out the physics behind grabbing Dolly Parton's hair.

I know that's not what BRNQ said, but it entered my mind.

It's quite impossible.
Her boobs would get in the way.

Thus, the best song to throw on when fighting is anything by Dolly Parton. You get her to sing it live and stand in front of you, acting like a forcefield comprised of mammaries.

You attack from between her legs with sucker punches to your opponents' crotches.

Done and done.

The winnah?
Jorge and Dollllllllly Paaaaaaaarton!

Two hours of crickets. Crickets.

Some days, this blog just writes itself.

I'd go with either:

'Blood on Our Hands' by Death From Above 1979 - because it would be cool

'Mama Said Knock You Out' - because it would be funny

or

Earsplitting Feedback - because then I could run away while everyone was too busy clutching their skulls

Sort of depends on the mood, I guess.

Ah, the old feedback routine. Given the fact that you have a sagittal crest I suspect that you are immune to ear feedback (see "Behold My Skull" for more info).

Nice job, skully.

Two oldies:

'I love Rock & Roll'

'Feel Like Makin' Love' - Bad Company

I love a good old-fashioned fight! By the way, I got here from Jorge's blog.

Fun reading!

I used to bounce in a titty bar and for some reason, a good sound track for an ass whipping was always "you give love a bad name" by Bon Jovi. For some silly reason that song always seemed to inspire the jack asses to act up.

I've bounced in a titty bar before.




More crickets.

Crickets.
But they're all waiting intently for more of your "bouncing"...

Of course, you DID find your bra 'n all...

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.
