My favorite "Barney Miller" moment was when Wojo was really pissed at something -- I don't remember the setup, but I think it was about a criminal getting away or not getting the justice he deserved or something... Wojo: Well I don't give a fu- Capt. Miller: (cutting Wojo off) WOJO!!! Considering how conservative network TV was back then, that was an eye-opener, and the audience ate it up. There's lots of BM clips on YouTube but I have no idea which episode that was in.

QUOTE (-D-RocK- @ Jul 1 2009, 04:48 PM) This is shocking to me because I thought Karl Malden died 20 years ago........... Did his manager really say he didn't know what the cause of death was? Ross said he did not know the cause of death. "It could be a combination of things," Ross said. "He was 97 years old." 97 years old pretty much covers it, I'd say.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/01/k...obit/index.html Actor Karl Malden dead at 97 LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Veteran actor Karl Malden, who won an Academy Award for his role in "A Streetcar Named Desire," has died at age 97, his manager said Wednesday. Karl Malden died in his sleep at his Los Angeles home, his manager says. Malden died in his sleep about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, said his manager, Bud Ross. Malden appeared alongside Marlon Brando in two of director Elia Kazan's classic films of the 1950s -- "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront." He won the best supporting actor Oscar for "Streetcar" in 1952 and was nominated for his role as a priest crusading against crooked union bosses in "On the Waterfront." Ross said he did not know the cause of death. "It could be a combination of things," Ross said. "He was 97 years old." In addition to his movie career, Malden starred in the 1970s television crime drama "The Streets of San Francisco," with Michael Douglas. Malden was the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from 1989 to 1992. In 2004, he received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. One of Malden's last acting roles was in 2000, according to IMDB.com. He played a priest in an episode of "The West Wing." Malden was born Mladen George Sekulovich on March 22, 1912, in Gary, Indiana.

Will I go see this? Hmmm, lemme think abou- OKAY, SURE!

I'd like to know how accurate those tabs are. I got a peek at the "authentic" Vapor Trails sheet music/tab book and from what I saw it wasn't entirely accurate.

QUOTE (lerxt1990 @ Jun 28 2009, 10:30 AM)See, with scenes like that, and the Sgt. Major marching bit, its like George Carlin, its not just the words, its the emotional delivery --- during marching up and down the square when hes yelling at the one guy while saying , "marching up and down the square not good enough for you eh?" and his head is wobbling all over, thats what Im talking about. Funny funny funny. Exactly. That Sgt. Major scene is ALL about the delivery. The joke is that he's a "stern" drill sargent, and lets his entire platoon go off and do whatever they want just because they don't feel like marching. It's a simple joke and funny in concept, but in the wrong hands, that scene would have flopped -- it's not just about yelling at them before letting them go. Palin growls, sneers, squeals, shakes...all that plus his body language makes it as much a piece of physical comedy as an exercise in absurdity. That look on his face as he says, "What about YOU....Atkinson," is just dripping with disdain, and it's hysterical. And of course, the way he screams "LEARNING THE PIANO??!!!!," then cranks up the contempt with, "And I suppose you want to go PRACTICE, eh," is classic Palin. None of the other Pythons could have pulled that scene off, much less anyone else.

Dear "boyz" who ride those Ninja-type bikes, How come most of you ride like assholes? How come you weave in and out of traffic going WAY too fast, like you don't care if the other drivers don't have a chance to see you before they change lanes? How come you think you own the road, and give US the finger (and then pop a wheelie ) after YOU do something that almost caused an accident? How come you pop wheelies on a busy expressway while cars are doing 70? You think you're impressing us? We are not impressed. We think you're acting like douchebags. I realize you have "'tude" and need to share it with the rest of the world through your badass riding, but how badass will you be if you or someone else gets hurt or killed because of your lame-brained dipshit stunts? Harley riders respect the road and ride like adults. Why can't you guys do the same? Grow up. Sincerely, The guy who almost inadvertently killed you last week as you cut me off

QUOTE (CygnusX-1Bk2 @ Jun 25 2009, 02:45 AM)We are not really a tribute band and don't like the term frankly. We are a band that plays Rush's music. We are not trying to be them. I look at it like someone who plays symphonic music. Mozart and Beethoven don't play their own stuff anymore. So as a symphony will perform an evening of Brahms or Mozart we perform an evening of Rush music. We enjoy it and can pull it off for the most part. You're in that first group of "tribute" bands I described earlier (I like your description better). That'd be the type of band I'd want to be in if we were to focus on one band's music. I saw Hammer Of The Gods recently. They are a Led Zep tribute, and I saw them in a 400-seat theater. They threw in everything including the kitchen sink. Clothes, wigs, Marshalls with the "Zoso" on the cab, the clear orange Ludwigs (including the mini-gong), the red Gibson doubleneck, the singer totally looking and sounding like Robert Plant, the John Paul Jones guy doing everything JPJ did, the drummer doing "Moby Dick" (even the part where he hits the drums with his bare hands), full-blown lighting, fog...everything. And they sounded great. Their attention to detail in sound, visuals and song interpretations were spot on. Imagine the amount of work and money it takes to put together a band like that, and keep it going. And imagine, if you will, being Angus Young in an AC/DC tribute band and having to wear that schoolboy outfit and do that headbang/stutter-step move all night.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA. Don't think it breaks into my top-5 IPA list, but it's pretty damn good. Decent amount of hop bite, nicely balanced. I'll buy this again.

QUOTE (ChroniclesOfRush @ Jun 24 2009, 05:33 PM) Yeah man for sure. I have seen literally HUNDREDS of people try to play this stuff under the assumption that for whatever reason having three members makes the music sound that much better. I look nothing like Alex Lifeson nor do I want to. If can sound 90% like him and have half the chops that guy has I can die a happy man. I actually ran an ad for a female singer because I love the early stuff and want to play it. Next thing I know this guy shows up saying "You want a chick singer for a gimmick or just because you think no male can sing in that range?" He belted out Bastille Day and the rest is history. I still think he's an alien...or a narcotics agent. Either way I win. Go Craigslist. When was The way I see it, there are two types of tribute bands. The ones who just want to sound like the real thing, and those who go for the full package -- sound, looks (hair, costumes, stage manner), equipment, staging, number of musicians, etc. The latter group is looking to re-create the whole experience -- but that's WAY more work and expense. And unless you're consistently gigging in decent-sized venues, it's not worth going to all that trouble (IMO).

QUOTE (JARG @ Jun 22 2009, 02:28 PM) QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Jun 22 2009, 11:15 AM) QUOTE (JARG @ Jun 22 2009, 01:04 PM) Yes, the patient's stomach has been stapled and a timed compactor has been placed at the opening of his esophageal sphincter. The patient can swallow food as quickly as ever, but whatever he swallows is compacted down to the equivalent of one bite unless he rests for more than one minute between bites. This results in a slowed rate of tummy filling, but his upper GI tract suffers the same wear and tear as if the compactor wasn't there. A better solution would be to put a timed clamp on his jaw so that he can only take a limited number of bites per minute. His stomach will fill more slowly than with no measures at all, but with the added benefit of not working the rest of his GI track unless food is actually going to be added to the tummy. So why don't they do that? You're not the first one to ask that question! No matter how many times that question gets asked, it never gets answered. The answer that can be deduced is, "We don't care if the upper GI tract has to work for no reason, the only thing we care about is making sure that the tummy only fills at the rate of one bite per minute." Let's dispense with the analogies...your board needs either post merging or flood control installed. You NEED one of them. SUndie seems to think the post merging works the best. Are people saying they'd rather have flood control?
