Maybe Marky and Gene Simmons could go toe-to-toe in determining who offers the superior '70s rock-related prophylactics.

And apparently Marky's touring the Canary Islands, too.

This is way too close to a TBS bit.  Admit it, Tom: you and Jon pranked Pitchfork, didn't you?

Ugh.

Ugh.

On the list of "Activities And Areas Of My Life That I Want Marky Ramone To Have Nothing To Do With", that would pretty much have to be number 1 with a bullet.

Wow. I can now honestly say that my mind's been blown by Marky Ramone.

It's good of you to carry some of the load, Stan.

Two best things about that ad, other than the classic Marky delivery:

1) It's Marky Ramone's Brooklyn's Own. The quick succession of apostrophes confuses the issue of who it actually belongs to. Is "Marky Ramone's Brooklyn" an actual person/place/thing responsible for this sauce?
2) The ad entreats you to BUY A CASE TODAY. A case?!

Have you seen Mahky's appearance on No Reservations? If so, this makes a little more sense as he spends most of the conversation bragging how much he can eat at once.

I like the kitchen, which is obviously his own and has been used plenty of times.

Brooklyn's Own: 100% of profits go to buying another couple of grams after taxes.

Not so much herbs as powders, right?

What I'm getting from the ad and the website is the only way to buy it is by the case. What if I'm not ready for that level of commitment?

Also, the site makes me thankful for Steve Jobs' ongoing efforts to squash Flash like a bug.

I actually really want to know what's in this shit, but I can't find an ingredients list anywhere. It's all secret.

Marky's reasons you should think it'll be good:  He loves to eat, and he loves to watch other people cook.  What's missing from this list?

Dee Dee would have been furious had he known Marky was such a foodie.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Ramone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Ramone):
Dee Dee, in his books, expressed resentment towards Tommy for having it "together" more than anyone else in the band, being able to cook himself dinner and organize his life in a much more functional manner, without the psychosis or addiction problems that the rest of them suffered from.

Pure and natural.  Just like Marky's hair. 

If you look closely, you'll see the Marky Ramone ring, which I like to believe gives Marky special powers.

Uncle Monk = Marky Ramone's bluegrass-based folk duo.

I meant Tommy.  I get those guys confused.

Here's Marky talking about his new line of Punk Rock Spaghetti Sauce

I was reading a collection of Ramones interviews (don't judge) and Tommy did come off as the most intelligent and together individual in the bunch by a very wide margin. He was their manager in the early years, too.

Uncle Monk came thru and played at a coffee shop in town a while back. Hard to sell that show as all the press was 'the only surviving original Ramone!' yet the music is nothing like the Ramones. Sadly I missed that one, but was glad to hear he is still kicking around.

He was so intelligent and together that the other 3 drove him nuts on the road. Based on what I've read I can sympathize because Joey, Johnny, & Dee Dee were all completely insane, but in very different ways.

Didn't they say in Please Kill Me that in the later days they literally put up walls in the bus so that the four of them didn't have to talk when they toured?

I don't recall that, but it wouldn't sur[prise me because by the end they all pretty much hated each other and were literally just in it for the money. Not to be morbid, but considering that Joey & Johnny both died only a few years after they split up I wonder if they'd think it was worth the headaches to earn money they'd never even get to spend.

I think they did, but that was well after Tommy had left.  Based on nothing but my memory of that End of the Century doc, I believe the biggest beef was that Johnny had stolen the love of Joey's life and married her.
