Anyone remember that guy at Digital Planet out by Sir Pizza and the mall who would just call everybody "guy?"
Walk in store: Hey guy.
I don't think he knew anyone's name. I'm talking anyone. Like, he probably didn't know his own. Probably was really glad his "Mom" and "Dad" had such easy to remember names.

I probably saw you in there, then. Sans beard of course, unless you had some insane pituitary gland thing and had a full beard when you were 10.
I remember getting all excited every month and going to get the new Infinity Gauntlet books. THANOS KILLS EVERYBODY.
And who can forget Sandman...irregularly coming out every month and or two months. Stupid Dave McKean!!!

So over on the Nashville Cream blog i wrote about the murfreesboro music scene and i want to know your opinions on the subject. am i right or am i missing something? to understand what im talking about you can follow the link above and read all about it. or youc an just respond to what ive written:
"ok, i usually just lurk through these discussions but:
1) murfreesboro does love its DIY shows, but we have always loved a really great venue with great sound. and like it or not Jon "Goldenboy" Friday, Sweetwater CAN be that place. Who says we cant run Pac-Man Jones off and take the place as our own? Yeah, that place has been a home to fratboy-asshats for a long time.. but once again, we can run them off into the shithole we all call "bluesboro". from what i heard about the turncoats show, the sound system is good, the place is a nice size and its not a bad palce to hang out and see a show. we just need to find a real soundman. anyway, dont count this place out.
2) the reason no one goes to wallstreet is the simple fact that you have to fight the seas of douchebags downstairs. ive seen some great shows there, but i never feel really comfortable in that place. so fuck it.
3) Ryan Bruce and Henry Daggs are to blame for the downfall of the murfreesboro music scene.
ok, maybe not. the fact is that the law is paid by the ruling class in murfreesboro to keep an eye on the rabble rousers in the area. the death of the acid living room, grand palace and casa burrito are all symptoms of this problem. i honestly wouldnt put it past the owner at a place like bluesboro (or even Lee at The Boro for that matter) to tip the police off so that they could shut rival-venues down. ask other buisnesses like Video Culture, the "anonymous calls" to the police can really fuck things up for you.
ok, i guess im done now.
and who am i to say shit about this town anyway?"
so?

Mr. Appropriate says:
OK, so best concert/show you ever saw in murfreesboro?
come on.. i know you have one.
for myself, it has to be either The Marquee Moon Band or the local version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Both nights were magical (magical in the wizard riding a winged unicorn over a rainbow sort of way). There have been some really great shows, and ive been there to see them, but those two are some of my favorites.

holtzclaw and boo boo bunny shows at the boro were always good times.
i always enjoy velcro stars shows, no matter where they're at.
thornton and sj and the props put on an amazing show at sebastians that one time...
small house shows are also always fun no matter who is playing.
the last show i went to was last september at the acid livingroom... i don't remember who all played that night, besides you guys.. but that was also a good show.

i believe its a word that is the amalgamation of the words hairy and taint.
posted Apr 27
Mr. Appropriate says:
i just found out that haint is an actuall word.
i had no idea.
so after a meeting i had with other wordsmiths, weve decided that Tairy is a hairy taint.
the end.

Part Two: What do you think about calling it something like a "mound"?
posted Apr 29
Mr. Appropriate says:
if you have a "mound" where your taint is supposed to be, i think you might have ball cancer.

Latent Power says:
Or cancer of the taint. Taintcer. "I'm sorry sir, your taint only has two weeks to live."

well, how about we talk about Rolling Acres? i was always way to scared to go there. when i was a kid, it seemed to be the deadliest part of town ever. had a friend in 5th grade get shot over some shoes in there. as a matter of fact, im not sure i have the balls to go there today.
not sure thatsreally clever.. but its a start.

i remember going down to the old fort park and playing on a slide that was made up entirely of large metal rolling pins.. like those things they have at fedex and ups that they slide packages down.. except it was me and it was awsome. except when you got your fingers stuck between the bars.. that sucked. it was like 8 feet across and it went about 12 feet down in a wave motion. also, there was this thing we used to do where you could stop halfway down and run in place real fast on the rollers and when someone slid down they would hit the rollers already going 285032476 mph and they would flip. yeah, those were heady days for sure.
anyoen else remember that or am i dreaming?
