Non-football related stuff that really makes your day

[The Cat]

Watching good tv programming always cheers me up. I really enjoyed last night's PBS Mark Twain Prize Ceremony at the Kennedy Centre. This Year's winner was George Carlin. There were a lot of laughs and for me the most enjoyable part was listening to a clip of Carlin singing "Cherry Pie."
He could easily have been a doo wop singer back in the day. It prompted me to download the original version of the song by Skip & Flip this morning. (Must've played it about ten times.

BTW there was a fabulous show on the Canadian network CTV last week. It's titled, Music and the Brain. A fascinating show with neuro scientists examining how the brain reacts to music. One of the test subjects was Sting.

If any on you are inclined, you can check it out at

Just found this for any of you Carlin fans. His appearance on Arsenio Hall where he sang Cherry Pie and did a fabulous job.

Thanks, Bill, nice find.

hahaha... yeah, i wasnt trying to gush or anything... gotta keep up the image and all ;) but honestly, i dont get a chance to 'talk shop' or what have you with anyone who's remotely knowledgeable about football, so its a good place to vent, get my mind off of shit, speak my mind about shit... etc.

glad you guys can appreciate some sincerity as well as you do getting ripped for your opinions :D

i wouldnt have it any other way

Do yourself a favor and avoid the likes of TANE, DEUCE(SH) and TOPWEASEL and you'll be off to a good start.

Sharky, I am really glad you enjoyed it! Hope you're feeling well.

Just watched it too, I started out laughing thinking he was doing an Andy Kaufman while wrestling impersonation, but then quickly realized he was just a humorless knob-job.

I watched it and all I could think of is some guy like Hank Hill kicking his ass!

The fact that the husband did not reach across the table and slap the shit out of him is a sad statement for him. If anyone spoke to my wife that way, I would be arrested!

[Aesop]

thats what i said... i dont care if my wife WAS fat... anyone disrespecting her (specially some pompous ass brit) would be getting his teeth knocked out with the quickness... based on principle alone.

I'll tell you whats made my day, apparently my appearance on "Wife Swap" has aired. I've heard I come across real good.

[SeattleLionsFan]

LOL...

[Aesop]

i apologize, UK, i made a knee jerk reaction to a single person of a nationality... rather hypocritical of me, given the subject matter. i was describing the guy as a pompous ass brit only to describe him as such, not your whole country.

my bad

My wife watches that stupid shit, I don't. People overstate their positions for the camera, that's what the network wants. It looks like people are outraged. Hmmmm, perhaps more people will watch. Just like when the "SHE'S NOT A CHRISTIANah" fat chick was on.

Bill, the Mark Twain Video thing was not available, but the Arsenio Hall clip was. That was pretty cool.
