Weezer rocks!

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!

Okay, that was funny as hell.

Charles, I just saw that song on YouTube about 15 minutes ago, and I thought of you.

When I was looking for "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas.

I went with someone to go see a Weezer show (so that person wouldn't have to go alone) and was really impressed with their live performance.

They truly rock hard on stage. I am not a fan, but I wouldn't be apposed to seeing them live again.

The 2-liter soda bottle fountain timing and choreography is impressive. They did use club soda, right?

Uh, yeah....I'm glad I have a glass of wine to go with that. Is this the FNDT?

/PLEASE say yes, for the love of God! LOL

Geek rock rules.

I sure hope the LGF hamsters are cuter than that one! LOL

Great mash of all You Tube favs. Did you see Miss South Carolina? hahaha love these guys.

The Sweater Song
/Great strip club music

re: #14 savage_nation

YES, so drink!

Thanks! I think I will..... :-0

BTW, am I the only one who kept thinking of Drew Carey during that video? Must be the glasses...

re: #10 Grammy Cracker

Yes! Be our guest!

I like it.

(I'll regret this post come Tuesday morning.)

re: #19 GeeWiz

Yes! Be our guest!

It's Cabernet tonight, FYI....

/I'll share.

By the way, "average" isn't a put-down for a Weezer song. Their average is anyone else's "stupidly great."

Pork and beans? Where's the frank?

Okay, that was different. The black kung fu guy really got after it. And the beaver with the human face? Strange.

re: #16 snowcrash

She was kinda hot.

"All your pork and beans are belong to us."

I love it!

Ok Everyone -

My Beans are "Vegetarian" - though I am NOT. They are "PARVE" this Lag 'B (L') Omer, (two gimmels = 33) as they are all year. Truthfully, there is NOT enough PORK in Pork 'n' Beans to make MUCH of a difference in taste or otherwise - YES I HAVE CHEATED HERE AND THERE. When "P&Beans" actually have some "P" in them - CALL ME BACK. That is all.

re: #27 song_and_dance_man

What's the difference between fish and meat?

If you beat your fish it will die.

Oh God. ROTF.

Beaver with a human face, or dramatic hamster?

I really like the video. It's funny and cute.

"hash pipe" and "buddy holly" had brilliant videos too. Yep, long time fan here.

fun and funny.

South Park had an episode with all the You Tube favs fighting to the death in an unemployment office not too long ago.

Ahhh weezer does it again.

So many interweb references in this video.. great stuff.

re: #33 MandyManners

It's one of the things that too many rock musicians have forgotten; don't take it all so seriously. One of the greatest things about The Beatles was their sense of humour.

re: #11 song_and_dance_man

The whole video was filled with funny cilps from other videos.

Actually they re-did most of them.

re: #12 savage_nation

Their live performance is pretty impressive. They rocked their songs a lot harder than what I was expecting based on what I've heard on the radio. There was a pretty serious mosh pit going, even. Had I not spent all day drinking beer in the hot sun I might have jumped in.

Ugh, Harry Reed's on O'Rielly spewing the usual George Hitler Bush speech, can't these moonbats ever come up with anything new of their own? It's like he just repeated the top 10 posts @ DU or KOS.

Okay, I'll partake! Thanks!

Wow!

re: #43 Slumbering Behemoth

Yeah been a fan for a while myself... finally got to a show a few years ago and was one of the best rock shows I've been to.

Saw them right after the Blue album came out too.. very good.

There you go. Let me know when you need another!

re: #5 savage_nation

yay, I dont have to be bored out of my skull in SLC for 4 days

I've never been bored out of my skull in SLC. I always found stuff to do. I went to the U of U for 5 years (after the 2.5 year stint at Ricks College when it was a 2 year school. The 2.5 year program involved much more skiing at Targhee than the normal 2 year plan).

re: #40 astronmr20

Whats going on? Storms?

Bad, bad storms. Greensburg is in the path of what the Weather Channel says looks to be an EF-5, the strongest tornado. That's the same area that was flattened last year. To the north, Hays--a place near and dear to my heart--is about to get hit. There's another one between--from what I can tell--between Greensburg and Hays, near Dodge City.

Funny video.

Did Weezer take their name from the great Weezer?

How dey do dat?

re: #51 Grammy Cracker

Will do! Aahh, methinks I need another. (slinks around)

re: #41 Killgore Trout

It's one of the things that too many rock musicians have forgotten; don't take it all so seriously. One of the greatest things about The Beatles was their sense of humour.

Maybe that's what made them enduring. Heck, Led Zeppelin and Lynard Skynard had humoruous sides.

Not to be confused with franks and beans...

re: #61 Ringo the Gringo

Aaaah, the ex always called me the weezer due to my history of respiratory problems. Does that make me famous?

Peggy Noonan is especially good today, dishing out an awesome bitch slapping to Hillary. My favorite part:

Mrs. Clinton's supporters are now complaining about the Hillary nutcrackers sold at every airport shop. Boo hoo. If Golda Meir, a woman of not only proclaimed but actual toughness, heard about Golda nutcrackers, she would have bought them by the case and given them away as party favors.

re: #66 MandyManners

Yeah, Kansas City area.

I was through Greensburg a few months ago. Frankly, there isn't as much rebuilding done as I'd thought. They have a long way to go yet.

Any Colorado lizards ... what does "Home Rule City" mean? Does this mean you are less taxed, or more?

re: #59 savage_nation

Holy crap! That's pretty scary..... prayers for our Lizards in Kansas for sure!

re: #68 hermeneutics

Oh, no. Another honor-killing asshole. Too bad they don't kill themselves.

re: #78 MandyManners

No kidding.

HA HA! Experiment #711! 7-11 is my anniversary (seriously...hard to forget, huh!). Seven and eleven have been some of the luckiest numbers in my life!

re: #70 Grammy Cracker

You, madam, are a most gracious host.

re: #74 MarkX

Yeah, Kansas City area.

I just watched TWC interview by telephone an official with the Kiowa County EMS. He said that the tornado had just passed over Greensburg but they had no reports of damage yet.

re: #75 hermeneutics

Not from CO but a home rule city is usually a city of a certain size that by statute can make certain decisions for itself that otherwise would be controlled by the state (if they choose to select home rule status).

Hey, at least she didn't call you the wizzer...

Your nic should be Gee Weez.

re: #60 MandyManners

Yes... the Dodge City radar is showing three impressive, rapidly rotating storms in KS right now... lots of tornadoes.

re: #82 MandyManners

Sh*t!

re: #81 GeeWiz

You, madam, are a most gracious host.

The hostess with the mostest....LOL

re: #75 hermeneutics

More. Home rule gives the city or municipality the right to impose its own tax.

I've got a 2.8 GHz CPU and 256 MB of RAM -- no problems before but about two months ago, it started slowing down. Really pissing me off...

re: #86 freetoken

Yes... the Dodge City radar is showing three impressive, rapidly rotating storms in KS right now... lots of tornadoes.

I heard about 40 minutes ago that the one approaching Greensburg had rotation of 100 mph which indicated that the winds were 200 mph.

re: #83 jamgarr

Thanks. New concept for me.

What sort of decisions would a home rule city make? Educational? I noticed that these cities have another 4 percent sales tax added to the regular county/state tax. Just wondering what you get for that extra amount.

bbl

re: #91 opnion

Without question , one of the funniest movies ever made.
How about the dog sailing out of the widow?

Excellent scene. According to the Internet Movie Database, one of the Farrelly brothers mooned to women looking out the window to enhance their reactions...

re: #94 MandyManners
That's scary. Will be praying for those folks for sure.

Screwed. Without dinner and a movie.

Okay, Grammy... "moderate" yr Comments

Not to dodge your question but you'd have to check the CO statute to see specifically what the quid pro quo is.

re: #99 Grammy Cracker

It has been a long time since I've been screwed ... period!

Seems the tornado lifted as it got to Greensburg.

God protect them.

re: #102 jamgarr

Okay, will do.

Phil Donahue is a tool!

We did experiment 711 (mentos and diet coke) in my yard last year. Lots of fun. Very messy.

re: #84 Grammy Cracker

Yea, she kinda did but in a roundabout way. She never complained about the satisfaction thingy but about the noise thingy involved in her "satisfaction". I never complained about her "noise" thingy, hence why she is the "ex".

re: #104 savage_nation

Might be your memory. I have 512 MB of RAM

Max out your ram. It will make the machine run so much better.

re: #94 MandyManners

On the Stormtracker forum someone saved a radar clip showing the two storms merging right before Greensberg:
[Link: www.stormtrack.org...]

Yes, looks like an incredible rotation, with the bigger storm easily absorbing the smaller one.

re: #101 savage_nation

Indeed. I happened to drive right thru Greensburg KS about 2 weeks after the place got erased by that last tornado.

Here are some pics I shot of the town.

Yes, those photos are mine. The place was as quiet as the grave, I never saw anything quite like that.

My gosh! That must have been eerie....

You must see an awful lot of everything when you're on the road, Savage.... Powerful photos!

Just watching some of the silent era Little Rascals....Funny stuff!

Ha!

I have the need to say this every once in awhile:

I love this place!

re: #104 savage_nation

That's what I'm thinking. Still, I can't imagine what's changed that's causing the delays I'm getting....

Will call Dell soon. Still under warranty...

256 meg of ram is wwaayyy too small. Increase your ram and watch your machine take off. I might suggest a minimum of 2 gigs.

re: #113 freetoken
I just refreshed that site. Ellis is suppossed to be hit by two tornadoes within 20-30 minutes.
