PS: Go Mets!
Bradrocket adds: Asshole.
At any rate, I’ll always have the greatest comeback in the history of professional sports.
PS- Mets gettin’ pwn3d by Detroit this year.

I wish Land of the Lost were still on Saturday mornings.
That dinosaur used to scare the crap outta me.

I’m trying not to think about why exactly that clip was for Gavin.

I think the Sleestak were misunderstood. I bought a pylon at the swap meet.

Gene Scott might not be defecating communion from a temple but he is classic crazy fundie.

Ahem. Sorry, but you SadNoes are blowing it.
Coach Dave posts an an open letter to Dobson, Perkins et al about how the Zombie Jeebus Brigade should fork off from the Republicans and you guys get scooped by Digby? Sheesh.
Gavin should already be posting bumperstickers for the Spaghetti Puller Caucus.

Ya know, I know that even though I’m of prime age to appreciate the whole American punk thing, culturally speaking, I was on an entirely different planet. As a young cracker in rural Mississippi, my musical soul was raised by a combination of ’70s era Elvis, my old man’s Southern soul 8-tracks and “Hee Haw”. So, yeah, I missed it and I don’t connect with a lot of it, though I do appreciate stuff like the Dead Kennedys and the Ramones and whatnot. It’s just not a part of my youth.
But I’ve listened to Allin’s music and seen videos of his performances since achieving adulthood and I have only one question: did no one ever tell this silly fucker how goofy he looked and how dull his whole shtick was once you got over the shock value? Had to been there, I guess.

Dammit, who’s the narrator on the Buckner clip? It’s on the tip of my tongue.
Land of the Lost/Detroit trivia: Pistons arch-villain Bill Laimbeer played one of those Slestaks (when he was 18, before he played for Notre Dame). True story, I defecate you not.

Well, GG Allin was never really part of the main landscape until about 1989 or 1990, and even then he was basically a novelty act — like the Jim Rose sideshow or something. Nobody was ever like, ‘Wow, that new GG Allin record is really good.’
He did some good records in the late ’70s and early ’80s as a regional New England loony, but that was before the nudity and body fluids and all that. Here’s an
early video. Still ridiculous, but there’s sort of a core of competence supporting it.

More Land of the Lost trivia: Chaka changed his name to Kato Kaelin and years later testified in the OJ Simpson trial.

Brad,
You’d really root against the Mets if they made it to the World Series? I’m a Mets fan and I always thought of the Red Sox as brothers in a common asshole enemy. I know 1986 was painful, but you’ve had a championship since then, and one of the sweetest championship runs to do it. too.
I will always have love for the Red Sox because of 2004. That was probably the single best non-Mets moment of my baseball life.

Hate Detroit, Hate Mets, Hate Cardinals…
If it isn’t the White Sox, I don’t care.
Viva football season!

I don’t hate the Mets. It’s just that I think the Tigers are a great story and a fresh group of faces.

Actually, I really like the Mets now that they have Glavine and my homey Pedro. But alas, they both already have rings. Time for kids like Verlander and Bonderman to get theirs.

How about them Bears? When did Rex Grossman become one of the best QBs in football???

kth & J — Isn’t the narrator actually David McCullough? I remember when Burns’ Civil War docu came out, a lot of people remarked how McCullough sounded a lot like John Chancellor.

Here are the credits for episode 9 of Burns’ documentary, from which I assume this clip is taken.

If ANY set of faces deserve a ring, its Pujols, Rolen, Carpenter & Edmonds.
Last night was a bump in the road to Redbird Glory 2006!!

Tigers in 5. They might win Carpenter’s first start.

That’s fair. I will root for the Tigers too, if they don’t play the Mets. Also, for further brownie points, the Tigers beat the shit out of the Yankees.
