I'm on a two day detox body cleanse, so I have very little food in me.. The booze is working great...

"I rule" - Lester Burnham (American Beauty)

I also agree that is it not a disease. It is caused by something we put into our bodies, which if we choose we can stop. It is definately addictive much like cigarettes or sugar.. But these things are not diseases, they are more a behavior disorder. Stop the behavior and the problem will go away.

My father may or may not be an alcoholic, I'm not sure. All I know is that when he has been drinking he is a totally different person. He says and does things which he denies later and he can get extremely mean. I don't have a great relationship with him to begin with, so when he drinks it makes it that much harder.

Yeahhhhhhh

"And now for something completely different..."

I just had a shot of Shits and Arrows, now I'm enjoying a lovely Snakes and Ladders..

I watched Boston Legal for the first time last night. I had heard it was great and funny as sh*t.. And I was not disappointed.. Absolute great show! Great writing, great one liners, incredibly funny!

If you missed it, here's a teaser... James Spader (dressed as Candace Bergin) dancing with William Shatner while drinking scotch and smoking cigars!

Yep, Fish's first solo album was pretty good, but it's the only one I enjoyed.

Kudzu, I'm glad you are enjoying your Marillion journey. I also really love Anaraknaphobia (or however you spell it).. That album really grows on you and gets better and better over time.

New album out in April!!!!

Hey, this is a TV show thread! If you want to drool, take it to NWW...!

Back on Topic: Wow, I watched House for the first time last night and it was pretty cool.. I just love the way he.. limps around ... and stuff...

"Mr. President, a nuclear bomb has gone off.. BRAVADO would not be any better than fear at this point.."

Gawd I love this show...

I've had this movie for a long time and never watched it. My background is in Mathematics so maybe I'll enjoy it.. Thanks for the "review"..

All I can say is WOW, and now in reverse ... WOW..

I can't wait until tomorrow night.

The only thing I know about Grendel is that Fish wrote a song about the story for Marillion in the early 80's.. (It's simply called "Grendel")

The song is a 17 minute prog-rock masterpiece.. IMO The song was actually recorded before they released their first album in 1983. So it was difficult to find for a long time (unless you live in Europe/UK). They released it on their 1988 release "Besides Themselves" and it now also is included in their remastered 2 disc release of their first album "Script for a Jester's Tear". If you like the story and you like progressive rock, you'll love this song.

I. Heorot's plea and Grendel's awakening

Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk

Mountain echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks

They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight

The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night

Earth rim walker seeks his meals

Prepare the funeral pyres

The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear

Within their eyes, their eyes

Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea

Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for savior born of dreams

They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly head they bow in shame

They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in Grendel's name

Earth rim walker seeks his meals

Prepare the funeral pyres

The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear

Within their eyes, their eyes

As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere

Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear

He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify

His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky

Earth rim walker seeks his meals

Prepare the funeral pyres

The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear

Within their eyes, their eyes

II. Grendel's Journey

Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew

Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through

Mother nature's bastard child shunned by leaf and stream

An alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams

The shaper's lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp

Beguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart

III. Lurker at the Threshold

Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell

Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell

Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butcher's knife

Stellular heavens ignore even children's cries

Screams are his music, lightning his guide

Raping the darkness, death by his side

Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams

Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene

Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe

Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know

Heroes delusion, with feet in the grave

Lurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave

So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out

You should have known better after all this time

You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander

With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes

Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame

God's on my side, sure as hell, I'm gonna take no blame

I'm gonna take no blame, I'm gonna take no blame

So you say you believe in all of Mother Nature's laws

You lust for gold with your sharpened knives

Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot

You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods

Then you try to place the killer's blade in my hand

You call for justice and distort the truth

Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches

Receive your punishment, Expose your throats to my righteous claws

And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, flow, flow, flow

I actually watched this for the first time a few nights ago... Yes, it's very dated. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I saw it when it first came out. Over all, it was pretty lame.. Just a couple of really funny parts... I like the scene in the car at the beginning when he puts in "Bohemian Rhapsody".. and the monkeys flying out of my ass ... Other than that it was lame.
