I always got to tell you to put pants on when somebody comes over...

11 Things Learned From Airheads

1. Lemmy is God.

2. The Clydesdale Scale - Sure we've always wondered how many Clydesdale horses it would take to tear various girls' faces off, but now we know the term for it...wait, is that a Budweiser reference?

3. Joe Mantegna can play someone that's cool (apparently).

4. Militant black men have huge dongs (OK, maybe we're just re-affirming that one).

5. The last name Arquette = movie career.  If only we knew then...

6. Ask the LAPD for anything, they can get it - in a timely manner too!

7. Music execs are dickhead yuppies.  Radio station managers are yuppie dickheads.

8. Steve Buscemi is one of the most dependably-great actors.

9. Reagan Youth is both hair metal and West coast (nope - "Degenerated" is a song originally by a punk band [the aforementioned Reagan Youth] and from the East coast).

10. Rodney King is that guy.

11. SWAT captains don't wipe well.

List compiled by Crooks and Johnny C

1 last thing:

The joke about the pluralizing of The Lone Ranger is not a joke at all.  That's what band names are, for the most part.  That would be like saying The Decemberists should only play in December or Brand New should have changed their name for the second album, forward.  That's weak aiming for the middle.

On a Sunday...

Why Sunday Sucks

1. Work on Monday.  At some point you have to accept defeat that the weekend is over, get ready for work the next morning, and count the hours to bedtime.

2. Hungover?  What did I do last night?  Who's she?  WHO'S HE?

3. They're often nice, weather-wise, I find.  You want to go out and do stuff, but #1 + #2 are likely.

4. Much of the year you waste most of the day watching bad football.

5. The Lord.

6. Shit's usually closed, or closes early.

7. (see #6)
