Train In Vein
From: Chuck Hawley
To: Pat Hawley
Subject: Lionel train collecting musician...
Ever hear of "The Dickies"? Punk rock band from LA. I was looking on the O Gauge forum and a guy on there is a band member. Into Lionel trains. Sounds a lot like the bands I heard on campus. Mabel's. Funny links to their web site. You end up with the Dickies clothing sites.
But any way, I kind of like "Howdy Doody in the Woodshed"...it's kind of a neat tune, some of it...the lyrics are not clear to me...probably just as well.
Did I mention that Neil Young is a part owner of Lionel? Something like 10 or 20%. He's a regular on the forum. Signs his name as NY. Just a regular guy...heh.
Love,
Dad

Smile Politely (and steal from the best)
Imitation - or, rather, blatant theft - is the sincerest form of...uh...help me out here...
Purveyors of the local scene may not understand "irony", however, they sure are helpful with providing metaphors...

From the Wayback Machine (on OpeningBlands.blogspot.com):
The image of Moon Seven Times' bassist (sic) Don Gerard, which appeared on a fishstick, has once again surfaced on eBay.
The auction, which opened at $1.32, has closed with no bids recorded.

Today's Loser . . .
YBOR CITY, Fla. (AP) — A southwest Florida church issued a challenge for its married members: Hanky panky every day. Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth (!) issued the 30-day sex challenge to take on high divorce rates.
"And that's no different for people who attend church," Wirth said Sunday. "Sometimes life gets in the way. Our jobs get in the way."
The challenge doesn't extend to unwed congregants, however.

David Garrett
The German musician slipped down a flight of stairs and landed on his violin case, badly cracking the fiddle inside - a 1772 violin made by Giovanni Guadagnini, who called himself an "alumnus of Stradivarius".

Today's Loser . . .
The St. Louis radio personality was upset that his power went out during the Super Bowl halftime show. He made his private issues public earlier this week . . . through racially derogatory comments delivered in a mock black dialect aimed at the electric company’s senior vice president, an African-American. What really got people upset was Corcoran talking about climbing to the top of the electric company’s building “with an AK-47 and just start picking people off.” The story broke on Thursday, 2/7. Corcoran issued an apology and was suspended for two weeks that same day. Corcoran has also been relieved (at least temporarily) of his commentary duties on local FOX-TV affiliate KTVI. As they should, local leaders are calling for his dismissal.
More power to them.
In this day and age, everyone, especially those with some influence, must be more responsible with their comments . . . you never know when some crackpot is going to take matters into their own hands.

Today's Loser . . .
On Friday, 2/1, the Fernley, NV high school senior made a very public announcement (covered by local and national media, including The Washington Post, ESPN and Sports Illustrated) that he had been recruited by and accepted a scholarship from the University of California, Berkeley. Turns out Monday, 2/4 was the first day high school seniors could officially accept college football scholarships and, upon investigation, Hart admitted that he had made up the entire story. Oof - how do you walk through the lunch line after that?
