As we laughed about old times, he mentioned a client, Dahr Jamail, who plays guitar in a band named <a href="http://www.houstonpress.com/1994-09-29/music/somber-news-from-nashville/">Titty Bingo</a>. Interesting and ballsy name I thought.<br /><br />Royce directed me to the<a href="http://tittybingo.com/"> Titty Bingo website</a> and told me to look at everyone onstage. Sure enough, there stood Willie Nelson. Plus, behind the piano sat Willie's sister, <a href="http://www.bobbienelsonmusic.com/">Bobbie Nelson</a>.<br /><br />A self proclaimed "garage band", <a href="http://www.jampics.com/results.asp?T1=Titty%20Bingo%20w/%20Willie%20Nelson">Titty Bingo</a> has quite a pedigree. This band isn't three chord "Louie Louie" playing hacks. Take a gander at their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tittybingorockandroll">myspace site</a> and you'll see they've been around the track.<br /><br />Their website streams the band backing sometime member Willie on "House of the Rising Sun". Plus, you can hear a deliciously savage re-make of "Hey Joe" re-titled "Hey OJ". Certainly, kicks top 40 synth pop square in the teeth.<br /><br />Happy birthday Willie!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21121511.post-37416792174079369772008-03-12T10:53:00.007-04:002008-03-12T12:47:41.544-04:00Mary Ann Pulls A Gilligan<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bLHzf8Et4OPxm5-r-VQ0X4THO4RR3zy7_i314HR_vJdyS1pXz4sq5ka1w8ilKXwJzXBBQO8IRKLmHhS-4WQ0_mVD3ojUN2Vw0bSI5ly5itF0fgDNXVKELp16gZKjIRdtvjE9SQ/s1600-h/tn_372581_2681colors.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bLHzf8Et4OPxm5-r-VQ0X4THO4RR3zy7_i314HR_vJdyS1pXz4sq5ka1w8ilKXwJzXBBQO8IRKLmHhS-4WQ0_mVD3ojUN2Vw0bSI5ly5itF0fgDNXVKELp16gZKjIRdtvjE9SQ/s400/tn_372581_2681colors.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176890147389753282" border="0" /></a><br />This past weekend, during the greater <a href="http://coshoctonblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/cincinnati-snow-blow-2008.html">Cincinnati Snow Blow 2008</a>, my wife relayed an amusing anecdote from her long ago past.<br /><br />While on lunch break, as she and a friend walked through the Westin hotel, they encountered Gilligan's Island characters, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKB5wovooh8">the Professor (Russell Johnson) and Mary Ann (Dawn Wells)</a>, sitting at a table. According to my wife, the pair were offering autographs, but there were no takers. People hurried by; oblivious to sitcom dynamic duo.<br /><br />Which brings me this odd Mary Ann moment. Recently, 69 year old Mary Ann, err Dawn Wells, was <a href="http://www.ktvb.com/news/localnews/stories/ktvbn-mar1108-mary_ann.44494e42.html">busted for driving under the influence of wacky tobacky</a>. According to an article by KTVB, the arresting officer smelled a strong odor of burning marijuana. Wells claimed the odor came from three pothead hitchhikers she had picked up. Okay, then.<br /><br />Did other clues include a three quarter eaten bag of Island Girl organic tortilla chips, two empty tubs of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvl1KOySf2U&feature=related">Cheech Marin</a>'s Refried Dude Dip and Wrinkle Remover, three empty bottles of diet Mountain Dew, and a spilled bong?<br /><br />Who <span style="font-style: italic;">were</span> the three hitchhikers? Was she covering for the Professor, Ginger, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8XRax8gnno">Tommy Chong</a>?<br /><br />Here's another clue: watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9quz8OVJ2Y">Dawn peel a spud</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21121511.post-41664441627633501252008-03-10T08:57:00.009-04:002008-03-12T14:03:46.706-04:00Cincinnati Snow Blow 2008<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRE3_J36DvpTZxHFVHejutQPxD8AikaOFbAajD1QtPuJNomVqq-aYnQHNjEx879GXHDosbUeSrPQoO6cRti1okoDOTVzoBb56xbZUsfIEvVmU0B6hMseMsRkdYfgc-OLHRIeMrAQ/s1600-h/tn_423166_46134144snow.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRE3_J36DvpTZxHFVHejutQPxD8AikaOFbAajD1QtPuJNomVqq-aYnQHNjEx879GXHDosbUeSrPQoO6cRti1okoDOTVzoBb56xbZUsfIEvVmU0B6hMseMsRkdYfgc-OLHRIeMrAQ/s400/tn_423166_46134144snow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176145812377487282" border="0" /></a>Wow, what an interesting weekend.<br /><br />Friday began what will become known, at least around here, as the "<span style="font-style: italic;">Greater Cincinnati Slip-n-Slide Pre-Spring Snow Blast and </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opossum">Opossum</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> Invasion</span>".<br /><br />A <a href="http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jIapUGkTrFRLCs4nt1tV6eiZUGlg">foot of snow</a> made our weekend inconvenient. Unfortunately, Saturday afternoon found us unable to leave our condo complex. We tried, but a slippery hill refused to yield to our <a href="http://www.tequila.net/tequila_reviews/reposados/jose_cuervo_tradicional_reposado.html">Tradicional tequila</a> desires.<br /><br />Hunkered down, I read the excellent oral punk history, <a href="http://www.nyrock.com/killme.htm">Please Kill Me</a>, by <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=3729984">Legs McNeil</a>. In my opinion, Legs has written one of the great rock and roll books. Raw, bare knuckled, and in your face, the book illuminates real rock-n-roll via the gutters. If you give a shit about rock and roll or punk, read this book. If not, resume listening to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZZNSAyGoVg">REO Turdwagon</a> or any other flavor-of-the-week MOR craptacular band.<br /><br />Early Sunday morning, we conquered the hill and headed for <a href="http://www.junglejims.com/">Jungle Jim's</a>. Shopping in a nearly empty 1.3 million sq. ft. grocery store felt sublime. With <a href="http://www.hotlix.com/insect_candy/chocolateinsects.html">chocolate insects</a>, <a href="http://beeradvocate.com/news/913970">Mojo Risin' Douple IPA</a>, and chicken enchilada fixins in tow, we felt complete.<br /><br />We settled in for a day of excellent brew, <a href="http://pythonline.com/">Monty Python's Flying Circus</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401711/">Paris Je'taime</a>, and enchiladas.

Numerous ideas which make sense and help you grow a stack o' dead presidents with little pain.<br /><br />Don't have 5 G's to play this game? Here are a few ideas to help:<br /><ul><li>Do you really need 500 channels of choice entertainment on your television? I think not. When I grew up we were lucky to have 5 or 6 channels. In fact, get rid of your cable, satellite dish, TIVO, and DVD addiction. Stop the wishful thinking; you know the <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/browns/home.htm">Browns</a>, <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Cleveland-Indians-Fan">Indians</a>, <a href="http://mvn.com/mlb-reds/2007/05/09/reds-need-an-intervention/">Reds</a> or <a href="http://www.cincyjungle.com/story/2006/11/21/135751/36">Bengals</a> aren't going to win anything. Besides, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wonder_Years">The Wonder Years</a>, and <a href="http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/S/htmlS/sanfordands/sanfordands.htm">Sanford and Son</a> were cancelled.<br /></li><li>Stop buying <a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/cd.htm">CD's</a>. They're so yesterday. Anyway, there's <a href="http://hypem.com/">plenty</a> <a href="http://mp3maniaco.blogs.sapo.pt/">of</a> <a href="http://elbo.ws/">blogs</a> and file sharing programs where you can get all that stuff for free! Now understand this; I'm not advocating lawless behavior. So, if the RIAA comes a callin', you read this on <span style="font-style: italic;">California Then California Now</span>.</li><li>Stop buying books and head to the <a href="http://www.coshoctonlibrary.org/">library</a>. Wait a minute, no one around here reads books. Scratch this idea.</li><li>Sell off your <a href="http://www.sierraclub.org/globalwarming/cleancars/cafe/valdeznames.asp">gas guzzling</a> <a href="http://www.suv.org/environ.html">SUV/pickup</a> and opt for an auto, <a href="http://www.vespausa.com/">scooter</a>, bicycle, or walk. You'll save thousands on gas and insurance. One plus: Coshocton streets will look abandoned. One drawback: soccer moms will need to learn how to balance three kids on a scooter.</li></ul>What are you waiting for?
