Ok, it's friday and I'm gonna VENT a little!
First off...if I see ONE MORE person with one of those ugly ass ear attachement cell phone things, I'm gonna smack them, rip that ugly ass thing out of their ear and crush it! It's annoying ENOUGH that we have to deal with people on their damn phones everywhere we go (even at the Theatre, right folks?) but NOW we have to deal with people seemingly talking to thin air! We can't even tell if they're on their phone or if they are in dire need of some serious drug therepy. And while I'm at it, OVER-technology, as I like to call it, is really starting to piss me off. This crap is supposed to make our lives EASIER? So yeah...I have to throw out all my cd's and start "file sharing", I have to buy a new TV in four years, cause mine isn't HIGH DEF, and my cell phone, which already has more functions than I'll ever use , is ALREADY woefully large and outdated? HOW IS THIS MAKING MY LIFE EASIER??? The answer IS.....IT AIN'T!!!! You wanna make my life easier? Use this wonderful technology to HELP people! Cure cancer (Hell, cure SOMETHING...as Chris Rock says "Dr's haven't cure SHIT in a LOOONNGGG time!") , find a way to give sight back to the blind, or a way to use this technology to get food and medicine to all the folks starving in the world. I could GIVE A SHIT if you make my cell phone small enough to fit in my nose! DO SOMETHING THAT MATTERS!
On a completely contardictory note....my new office computer IS pretty sweet!
There's my friday rant....I think I'll make this a weekly thing...it feels good!
ENJOY and please...take up valuable band width telling me what an old fogey I am! Or feel free to log in with your OWN friday rant!
In honor of the FINEST SPORTING EVENT IN THE NATION, a SWEET 16 points for the reference....

Rush? New World Man?
BOB, YOU ASS!!!
dammit!
I figured I had to be wrong, 'cause you hadn't posted, Adam. I know you know your Rush.
BOBBY IS THE WINNER...of a sweet 16 points...as NEW WORLD MAN it is...off of SIGNALS, one of the last good RUSH albums!
Yes. I know my rush. Amyl Nitrite RULES!! Oh, shit. You meant......
nevermind.........
By the way, a big thanks goes out to big Bob (even though you beat me by 1 frikin' minute!!) for stepping in to play Lane on Wednesday. You should have stayed to see how many kids we put to sleep. (I don't think kids get ANY sleep these days.) It was only when I dropped my pants during the final line that they all cheered and screamed. Well, more screams than cheers.
Over 100 per night for the weekend.
No that isn't my price. (that is 250 at least).
I'm talking house numbers for Earnest. I guess I shoulda been more clear.
Maybe we should have piped some "Rush" through the "Sound System"...I hear kids these days like their Rush.
Good numbers for the weekend, tho - congrats!
Bob- YOU DA MAN!
...even though, since you won't play this weekend, you obviously fear me on the court!
The trash talking continues to heat up...
As soon as I can confirm that I won't die of a heart attack, I will bring it, Atlanta Street Ball Style. : )
Seriously, tho, I was glad to help out...I promise, Tim, my game is better than my english accent! Not that that's saying much...
Great rant, Tim! And one I'm in utter sympathy with! You sound just like me!
In fact, my rant is I just spent twenty minutes writing a long rant about the tyranny of the technology that is supposed to make our lives less complicated and then when I went to post it, the whole thing didn't connect to the posting page and the bloody rant was lost! Thanks, technology for making my life so much easier and saving me so much time! Luddites unite!
The computer was probably just editing it for content.
Yuk, yuk! Ooo, you nasty man, you!
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. don't forget to tip your bartender.
Slick 8-
NO WAY! I WAS one of those kids with their loud Rock and Roll...i just played mine on a TURNTABLE!
...and I NEVER wear black socks with sandals, thank you very much...only white tube socks!
Good one Rick! I wish the Hawks were as good as you are funny!
Nope, my game is pure concrete. Didn't play much organized ball, 'cause with the tank tops, there was no place to keep my cigarettes. And the baggy shorts just don't flatter me a$$.
HEY BOB!!!!! THANKS A BUNCH for helping us out on Wednesday. You didn't skip a beat my man....It is always a pleasure to share the stage with you. Can't wait to see Mousetrap in May.
Hey X, will we see you any this weekend. I miss you!!!!!!
Adam, I had no idea that you were dropping your pants at the end of the play...LOLOLOLOL
I would say our houses will be even bigger than 100 per night this weekend. I know a lot of people that are just going to drop in without reservations.
Did anyone catch our Earnest interview on Curtains at 8 last night? We had a fun time, especially when he started the 10 minute segment on our fond Boone memories. LOL
Rachel's first comments about traveling across many a lake and talking to many a hobbit...cracks me up!!! God..she makes me laugh.
BTW...if any of you missed it, Surprise Theater was this past week at Natasha's...and Ryan Case was absolutely f'n hilarious. As always.
Hey Laurie LOU!!!!! Give me a call or email!!!! I can't wait to see you when you get into town!!!!!
You crazy kids and your friggin' iPods. Huffin' your crystal meth and watching your sin theatre, drinking your Miller High Life and doing body shots off your fancy-lad buddies. Andy Griffith didn't need no cellular telephone. Is this world too good for the values and pace of Mayberry now?
Pipe down, Otis!!
Well, Ned...i DO miss those fun girls from Mt Pilot!
I must say I'm sorry I couldn't be there for the radio thing-y with Mr. Lawrence (our own Garrison Keilor!).
Oh who am I kidding............
I remember the last one I did for All My Sons. I got stupid high right before it and wore my sunglasses through the entire taping, slouched down in my chair. And I babbled and made pointless comments (like I do when I usually speak, really). I felt like a total rock star. All I needed was a cigarete (a "fag" for all you anglophiles) and a beer to make it all complete.
It's the little things. Let me have them, please.
Cel Phones! Oh, HELL, don't get me started.
I think they should charge out the ass for text messaging.
Cel phone signal scrambling devices should be made cheaper, more available, and user-friendly.
I've wanted to get a T-shirt made that simply says "Take. Your. Cel. Phone. And. Shove. It. Up. Your. Fuckin'. Ass!"
My boss wouldn't like that. He's a principal and keeps TWO cel phones AND a walkie talkie with him at all times. Which is fine if he is taking care of school business, but when you hear him talking on one phone about seafood, and on the other phone about his recent vacation and on his walkie talkie, the assisstant principal his yelling, "Fight! Fight in the Courtyard!" you lose confidence in everything.
Auto accidents due to driving while chatting on a cel has made auto insurance rates climb, and... it ain't even over yet.
Hey kids...all these images of u boys playing ball and pants dropping is so f'n manly...you're getting me all a flutter. I did have a response to the technology topic...but now all I can say is thank god it has kept me connected to you all.
By the way- I wil be there the 7th-13th of April and I certainly need a dose of Lex.
Shayne baby...Adam...Kimmie Chee...Rick, X, Steve...hell allll of u....can we get together? Cocktails? Let's plan it.
Oh and I love curtains @ 8. I always feel rather bemused and like I might burst into laughter throughout the whole event. It's like being on Percoset (spelling) everything seems a bit absurd.
I can't imagine doing it high. U've seen me high. I would talk....and talk,,,,and talk and never get to the point.....
LAURIE!!!!!!!!!!GAWD....how much I've missed your gorgeous face!!!!! I can't wait to have a few cocktails with you when you get into town.
BTW....I agree with Laurie about curtains @ 8. I have a lot of fun, but I always feel as if I'm going to get the church giggles. Hell, for some reason I ALWAYS get nervous when I'm interviewed or asked questions about any show or character I'm playing. And GOD help us all if I were to get stoned and show up for an interview (fortunately, I haven't smoked in a couple of years)...I would do the same thing as Laurie...I would talk, talk , talk, talk, talk, and talk some more.....about things that make ABSOLUTELY no sence. Those of you who have been around me in those long ago days when I did partake...know exactly what I'm talking about.
Hey Adam, remember this one?
"But on Ssmonday, Gene got in to see Joni".....LORD
and BTW J'adam, you are a rock star, my man. A bad-ass rock star!!!!
BTW- to all GALATICA fans...
check out this link...it told me I was "the chief".

Let me know how you rate...
Hey Shayne, glad to help out with the kiddie show...sorry I was late with your Gin, it'll never happen again. It was fun working with y'all, however briefly. I'm glad the show is going well!
My results ... creepy
You never wanted to be a glamorous Viper pilot. You are happy knowing that without you to fix their birds, they cannot fly. You fell in love with the wrong girl, but is that so wrong? Maybe, but you don't really care.

Glad to hear all those folks are doing well...
The only Final four team I picked that's still in is UCLA , but I DID pick them for the final game (though as the eventual loser to BC)
Oh well...that's the way the bracket gets busted...
One of my "crack picks" was LSU going all the way.
They very well might.
I hate Florida.
I'm not a big fan of Florida but I do like this team. They play smart, play together and with passion, and the lineup is very complementary. Seems like UK use to have that...
50% of the Final Four is SEC...Represent!
Yeah, I'm with you Bob. I absolutely HATE the Univ. of Tn (laboring away, as I have, as a Vandy fan for all these years...) but by God if they're in the tourney I root for 'em. I'm an SEC man all the way!
I'll take an SEC team, sure. Just gimme LSU. I want Florida to feel the hot sting of an embarassming loss. I want Noah to have an absolutely horrid game. (Not holding my breath, though) Sure he has passion, but I really hate the way he expresses it. I want Green to break both legs, one hand, and his neck. Hoarford needs to have explosive diarreah, and I hope Brewer's headband cuts off blood circulation to his head.
I don't think they will have too much trouble with George Mason (?!!?) , but I certainly hope they do with LSU. Even though they beat them twice this year.
Florida? BAH!!!
I dunno..after who all they dispatched, i ain't sleepin on George Mason...be interesting to see them cut the nets down....
Rick (Gaius)
You actually admit to seeing CHICAGO in the 80's? You are a brave man...
You can freely admit to anything that was done during the '80s, with no worry of backlash. It's like having my..I mean...YOUR criminal record expunged once you reach adulthood. It's like a blanket pardon from Fletcher:
"Not my fault. It was the 80s."
Heck, admit to things that aren't true. No one can touch you. Or is it, You can't touch this? That may have been from the 90s...
Ah, Chicago 17. The album with songs like "Hard Habit to Break" and "You're the Inspiration" to which I had my first slow dances at school. Arms locked, barely holding onto her waist, rocking from side to side.
Dude, I was such a fukin' pimp!! The ladies LOVED me.
Dated? Yeah, I'm 32.
I thought guys thought everything was foreplay, including shouting: "Brace yourself!"
Oh my...time for a new topic...post haste!
Speaking of new topix, here's a note from Debra Martin. She's trying to find a home for the late Ray Smith's Siamese cat, Smitty.
"I just want to make sure this gorgeous Siamese (and he is really stunning) has a good home. It would be best if he were the only animal. He is territorial and loves to be the center of attention. He is also very vocal and will actually carry on conversations with you. He is trained and will not scratch furniture if you have a couple of scratching posts accessible to him.
He's about 8 years old, I think; in great health. He's been to the vet within the last six months. Ray adopted him as an adult cat and had him for 5-6 years. He's a great cat, but my female cats can not stand him, nor he them. I had read somewhere where Siamese are a "one-cat per household" cat. I will be happy to deliver Smitty to his new owner, and will help in the transition as much as possible or as needed. I just have to make sure the owner will take good care of him. I feel a great obligation to this cat, for obvious reasons."

Hope somebody can give this kitty a home! (Notice I didn't say "pussy," 'cause I didn't want to introduce more than one new topic at a time.)
When we've moved from Technology to naked and clothed B-ball, to slow dancing to Chicago...(sigh...I remember that too Mr.L)
to the mention of a "pussy"
It's time to move on...
However, Godspeed with Smitty..he's a cool cat...wish I was remotely nearby to help.
