This Should Never Happen

This ref should be fired.  Then he should be drawn and quartered.  This happened last weekend (October 18th) between So. Carolina and LSU (yep, the SEC). 

Should he get a jail cell next to Tim Donaghy? You be the judge.  

The Power of Tortilla

Tortillas are the greatest thing to come from south of the border.  

I use them all the time.  Not just for mexican food either.  I'm pretty sure you could make a PB & J in a tortilla.  All the benefits of bread without having to cut off the crust for the kids.  Whenever you eat bread with a meal, instead put your meal in a tortilla.  It might as well be referred to as "The Plateless Meal."  No dinner time dishes, if only I could cook product on the stove in a tortilla.  At the local watering hole, they offer a burger in a tortilla (a burger wrap , if you will).  I have taken it to the next step.  The glory of a chili burger without the mess on your shirt.  I'm telling you there's nothing you can't do.  I might put my entire Thanksgiving Dinner in a tortilla next month.  I bet I could do a restaurant serving everything in one.  Spaghetti, pot roast or whatever.  I've done it for years, you can't stop me.

I've spoken my peace..... Ol'e!

Police

I just finished watching Hard Rock Calling (in hi-def....can't beat hi-def). It's a show from time to time on the Mojo channel. It was the festival concert with The Police and Eric Clapton headlining. Every time I see The Police on TeeVee it reminds me how much better they are than most. I just can't come up with a better all time band. Of course I'm biased like everyone else, but I'm allowed. It's what makes me human. If I could find my cassettes I would of course throw in Synchronicity. My favorite from them, but they were all excellent.

Who else is on my list? It is very much dependent on my mood. I'm sure the Red Hot Chili Peppers are in the top 3 along with The Police. That third spot is sacred. I can't just occupy this spot with the flavor of the week and takes much time to consider. I'm thinking it could be Jane's Addiction. If not third they are in the top 10 for sure. The sounds of The Stone Roses are possibly there for third as well.

I stated once early in my blog entries that lists might be, from time to time, an easy entry. I have decided that if I make another list for a blog entry it will be about something tangible. I could pick up my high school chums' book and peruse the back pages to trigger memories of great great bands, but the top 10 should be there. Right there in your brain poking the inner ear for more when there is silence. Songs do that to me but not bands so much. The problem with songs doing that is people and so-called artists can be accidentally thrust into the limelight and make a song you thought was catchy ("Can't Touch This" for example, what the fuck was I thinking. Now sometimes without cause or action I feel the need to shuffle my body across the floor back and forth in a stance that Sumo Wrestlers stand just before wrapping their knuckles on the mat then running at each other and ..... never mind you get the picture.)

I guess what it comes down to is the List.
1. The Police
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers
3. Jane's Addiction
3a. The Stone Roses
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Here is where I stand. I will update this after much angst and some trepidation. I will inevitably let myself down on this list. I can't stand it.

By the way, GO RAYS! The hat will be worn tomorrow.

I'm Falling Behind

I have not posted anything in a while, I have have had a change in my life that doesn't allow me to get to the PC as often. I will, however, continue when I can as this should be only a temporary situation sans PC. I will also post when my mood improves.
