I love music. All types of music. I sometimes get made fun of for it for what I have come to call my “eclectic” tastes in music.
Most other people just say my taste in music sucks sometimes. And maybe that’s true. Meh.
I especially admire good drummers. I could watch a good drummer for hours, and sometimes even barely hear the rest of the music.
Back during the holidays, the girl formerly known as tWLS and I went to a holiday concert. Her brother plays bass for the band who was performing, which is the only reason we went to begin with. But the drummer was really good. I was supposed to be there with her, for her, and to also be taking pictures of her brother and the rest of the family which was there in attendance. Which I did.
But for a little while, I realized I was mesmerized by this drummer. He was obviously very good, but due to the nature of the concert and the types of songs being played (Christmas Carols mostly) he was bored off his ass. I had to giggle a little bit and then I thought….DUDE JUST GO INTO A BADASS DRUM SOLO AND FUCK ‘EM!!!!
He didn’t.
I am also a drummer, but not a very good one. And particularly worse now because of nerve damage in my left arm and hand. But I still sit behind my drum kit now and again just for the fun of it. But I can’t do it very well or for very long these days.
Anywhoooooo….
One of my favourite drummers is Butch Vig. He’s the drummer for Garbage. They also happen to be one of my favourite bands overall, so that works out well.
Even now in his 60s, he’s a very good drummer. But he’s more than that. He’s actually also one of the best and most respected record producers of our era, producing acts such as Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins, among others.
But regarding this post….? The problem is that I don’t find Butch Vig attractive in “that way” (no offense Butch). And this IS Sexy Friday after all soooooo….
It’s SHIRLEY MANSON WEEK Evahbodeh!!!!!!!
52 years old now and still hot as hell. The pink hair is a nice touch as well.
Hubba hubba.
And look at the bright side….at least it isn’t CHARLES or MARILYN!!!!!!

Sports Which Will Make You Want To Take Out The Trash 2Nite
NHL
- Nashville @ Pittsburgh – 7:00pmEDT – TV: NHLN
NBA
- Indiana @ Boston – 7:00pmEDT – TV: NBATV
NCAA Tournament
(3)LSU (+6, +270) v (2)Michigan State – 7:09pmEDT – TV: CBS
- I still say Sparty is due to lay an egg. Might drop some coin on this one.
(5)Auburn (+5.5, +220) v (1)U*NC – 7:29pmEDT – TV: TBS
- Stay away from this one. I promise you the officials will not allow Auburn to win this game or stay within even 10 probably.
(4)Virginia Tech (+7.5, +345) v (1)Duke – 9:39pmEDT – TV: CBS
- See above. Sorry VT, you had a good run but you’re not going knock ’em off twice. Especially not with Zion back in the fold.
(3)Houston (+2.5, +150) v (2)Kentucky – 9:59pmEDT – TV: TBS
- Hmmmmmmm….now that is tempting.

Shirley Manson
Born: 26 August, 1966 – Edinburgh, Scotland
Enjoy…
Oh dear lord, I think it’s time to stop. Or start, depending upon how one looks at it.
(I’ll be right back)

Have a nice weekend, everyone.
Love ya’s.

Oh my.
I would Face Time Shirley Manson even to listen hours about minor inconveniences.
g’night y’all. NEVAR forget the Carlin life motto:
FUCK HOPE
Solo?
BEEF
Well, for the two of you left. The good news is I interviewed for a cool job. Everything else today has been a fucking shitshow up to an including my goddamn laptop screen not working for some reason. So … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Something, something cork that bat.
Fouled off. 2/10. Would not bang.
Where is she on The Count?
That was the first pitch. She’s still alive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH3I-IE0Xhw
Hitting the water that fast probably killed her
Ummm, yeah…… that’s the joke.
Joke assassinated
Oh boy. Kentucky is going to win again too. Hooray.
Date night.
OK, I was by myself and smoking some weed and having a beer at home, but still….
Oh boy. She must be quite upset!
I don’t think so; they are hanging normally.
He missed it.
I’m just going to beat my forehead against the wall.
We’re gonna need a shitload of dimes.
Back to the barn, hayseeds. Thanks for nothing.
A LARGE part of Kryzlonski’s success is derived from his ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE that every one of his opponents for all of time will throw ridiculous three point shots at the basket when only one or two points are necessary. It really is that simple.
How did they miss that?
Duke by the skin of their teeth again.
Missed call? Can’t wait to hear Dukies if they lose this.
Did they leave a message?
Duck Fuke
Goddammit VT, why couldn’t you just roll over?
Duke will hold on, but imma lose ATS.
HIS TOE WAS ON THE LINE DAMMIT!!!!
But it won’t matter, Duke will get possession and just run it out unless VT fouls.
Then I might have a shot +3
Gonna be a proud moment for Zion’s family when he walks the aisle in cap and gown to receive his Duke degree in comparative literature in 2023.
LMFAO
You know you want one.
That is fuckin’ funny!
Looks like Va Tech’s strategy of shooting 60% from 3-pt range is paying off as well as you’d expect.
Zion Williamson is allowed to throw elbows now? Cool. Cool.
CBS lost U*NC/Kenfucky, they ain’t gonna lose Sparty/K
Paul Goldschmidt had the chance to hit his FOURTH homer of the game, 9-5 in the 9th. And that Counsell twerp WALKS HIM.
#BFIB
u noe it!!!
2/10, bra doesn’t match the panties, would not bang
Another nice hiney.
It’s on the top shelf, love. Here let me help.
What else is on TV?
The meth-OD inspired tattoo on her back really makes the shot.
Seems like they got over it.

You are wrong anyway; this is a meth-OD inspired tattoo:
I tried to tell ya’s to bet the Duke live line at the half.
Did you listen? Nope.
You’re not my supervisor!
don’t blame me, ah am watching #BFIB

Hellboy was made in 2004. Do we really need a remake in 2019?
Pet Sematary likes this +1
I shit you not, our outdoor cat is a slightly fluffier version of the undead cat in the remake.
Probably has a worse attitude though.
THIS GAME I CALL IT ANTIETAM, BECAUSE AFTER A PROMISING START THE VIRGINIANS ARE GETTING SLAUGHTERED!!!
That is a very attractive hiney.
The rest don’t look so bad neither.
I’d hit that* hard.
*The railing, which I would fall over when walking up to talk to her.

…castrated turkeys?!
@Horatio Cornblower….
You want a pair of tix to Yanks/Orioles on 22May in Baltimore? It’s a Wednesday, so that sucks. But good seats, 3rd row behind first base dugout. Includes parking pass. Free of charge, gratis….just wanna get rid of them.
Do I want them? Yes.
Is that my mother’s birthday? Also yes. Have to pass. Some lines can’t be uncrossed.
GODDAMMIT I’VE STILL GOT EIGHT PAIRS OF TICKETS NO ONE WILL TAKE EVEN FOR FREE THIS IS GETTING ANNOYING.
I mean yeah….I understand.
Sorry…four pairs. 8 tickets.
I mean, have you seen the “Orioles” this season? I’ll admit I have a soft spot for them, (the first girl I ever had sex with was a) disappointed and b) an Orioles fan), but Jesus Christ, that line-up would go 90-72 in AAA.
Time to book a hotel for May then I guess.
Roasting veggies and cooking sausage on the stove. The American way.
“The American way”
You’re paying a Mexican $3.58 an hour to do it?
Just had a local ad for a law firm who, the last time I tried a case against them, I beat their guy so bad that the attorney quit.
It’s funny until I realize they make at least twice what I do.
You come up with a clever criminal enterprise for law-talkin’ guys? Hippo is all ears.
No, I just wrecked him in front of a jury so badly that he left and went to another firm. The only criminal enterprise for law-talkin’ guys up here in CT is an epidemic of “not paying your taxes.” Two attorneys I have done a ton of work with over the last 20+ years are either doing time or just got out of prison for not paying. Not sure how anyone thinks that’s a good idea. I mean, lie on your taxes, sure, you could be elected president. But just not paying them? Use a little subtlety.
I was once acquitted so tremendously in Federal District Court that the U.S. Attorney opened the window and leapt to his death, and the judge, a distinguished man in his mid 60s, told me that he was renaming all three of his adult sons “Brick” in my honor. The court clerk blew me.
The well known Federal District of Niagara Falls? Yeah, I had a girlfriend who was a court clerk up there. You wouldn’t know her beca…
WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE!!!!
Duke Cheerleaders….still kinda ugly….Check.
Rape victims all look the same in the dark.
That may as well be the Duke motto.
Duke not getting the calls. This is fun.
Oh, they’ve been getting some calls lately.
https://myfox8.com/2019/03/25/duke-to-pay-112-million-settlement-to-us-government-after-accusations-of-faking-research-for-grants/
Good call.
Probably too much to ask to have UNC and Duke lose within three hours of each other, but I’m still gonna sacrifice this goat, just to be sure.
if nothing else….kebabs at Horatio’s place!!
We’re legit cooking 8 lbs of corned beef tomorrow for a party, so feel free to stop by!
/Offer only good for Hippo, who never leaves his house, otherwise my wife will kill me
What if I talk Hippo into letting me drive him up?
they’s still so many damnyankees up thar
But it’s free food and all we gotta do is drive hundreds of miles and….
Oh yeah, this is stupid.
If there was any road trip worth doing it was for the free garbage bags of weed by Balls’ place.
This is true.
And your address is….?
Yeah, no shit right?
Hippo, the people I hang out with out here will, I promise you, out redneck anyone in Carolina. Hunting? Check. Fishing? Check? Guns? Fuck and yes. Bama football and Nick Saban is a god? Roll Damn Tide.
Eastern CT is an odd place.
Horation (not a typo) has obviously never met tWBS’ family.
True, but from your comments regarding them you and my wife could sit down and have a long ass chat.
Just keep your hands where I can see ’em.
Tell me more about your wife’s long ass?
She has a fantas…
I may have had too much to drink.
your stories do have me genuinely curious!
SOLD AMERICAN!
(Dinner’s at 8. Bring something nice to drink)
I seem to recall you trying to lure me back to meet the Mrs.

To be fair, our basement has a pool table and cable.
Another entry in next year’s banner tourney.
“You can watch The Masters, live….”
Or I could do literally anything else.
Up to and including choking myself to death. Michael Hutchens-style
I have a Hutchens related comment stored in my brain, (it’s a dark place, with a lot of creepy-ass puppets), waiting for just the right moment.
David Carradine would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Gurk! Monthly
Nah, Gurk! was a one and done.
Naps are good for you.
First half foul shots should just be gimmes.
Buzz Williams still has no neck…check.
You can’t stop the Zion. You can only hope to contain him. And you can’t do that either.
He one and done? Has Duke ever had one of those?
LOL, once or twice at least.
But yes, gon’ be a rich mammajamma in a few months.
Duke’s “1 year bachelors” program is just around the corner
LOL, well said.
Started with Elton Brand. Or whatever the fuck his name was. Made a lot of NBA money but was never all that good.
Which pretty much sums up Duke players.
Va Tech about to fold like a cheap suit.
Dunno. Tech looks like they want a piece.
Nope, they’re not gonna hang. Trust me.
Bet the live line if you are a betting person.
Tech looks all gritty. Fucking wu tang out here.
ain’t nuttin to fuck wit!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
/hai, imaginary friendos!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
//thank fuck my kid texted me
You should have watched. It was beautiful.
We haz derby tomorrow!
AND I HAVE TO DVR IT
/damned kids and their artistic endeavours
Got lucky and scored the 9 a.m. game slot for kiddo soccer. I’m assistant coach! My spirit animal is Bill Murray in Meatballs.
I got roped into HEAD coaching my kid one year, b/c coach’s kid got hurt, he quit on the spot, and I was only one dumb enough to admit ever having coached anything (little brother, el beisbol)
We got the U-8 coed kiddos. Adorable. 5 v 5 with no goalies. Small field, small nets. Bored teen referees. Golf chairs akimbo. Paradise, really. Cant wait to get fresh oranges in the morning to quarter and bag for my young charges. We may not win much, but no team will have more fun.
mine was 9-10 or 10-11 coed
TRUE HIPPO COACHING FACT! I had to set up a penalty kick lineup after “added time” in the playoffs. I was ridiculous with how I attempted to infuse strategery into it.
