Marching bands are filled with filthy dirty pervos.

The FOT is filled with Filthy Lauries. 

Okay, there's only one.

going to school for library science..

Oh no! Don't discourage me. I have to pick a career, and I think I've probably chosen library science. Probably.

Not even positing a harmless picture of Violet Blue posing with an Extra Action baritone horn

Yay Violet Blue!

oh, don't be. library science is a fine career choice (i think/hope) its just that the program has gone on for too long. should have been 1 year instead of 2.

I think this thread has become more of a matter of "when did you get out of it?" (from the 2/27/07 show) than "things that never happened."

This misunderstanding of topics is what makes Tom so mad sometimes.

Well, he gets mad at other stuff too.
The only Wire I care about is the one that recorded Pink Flag.

Interesting that pornography has become the FOT's weapon of choice.  Maybe I should slip some to my real estate developer.

Now that's our girl.  That's what I call strategy.

I'm thinking now that a better idea would be to conceal it somewhere (in his vehicle, or perhaps I could get one of my low-life friends to break in to his house up here) so that his wife can find it and start rancorous divorce proceedings that would eat up so much of his time and money that Lubec would be spared.

The pornography would have to be particularly vile to ensure the proper outcome.  Suggestions?  (I'm talking to you, Filthy Laurie.)

Of course, a character on The OC tried this ploy, and it failed miserably.  But Washington County ain't not no Orange County.

That Extra Action Marching Band was the most cringe inducing thing I've ever seen.
What's this? A boring old marching band!
But wait, they're totally blowing my fucking mind with their fishnet stockings, gayboy denim cutoffs and combat boots.
Zzzzzzzzzz.

I dunno man...  Fishnets, cutoffs, and combat boots could be doing nothing more than making a friggin' Tofurkey sandwich and it would not pain me, yea, I say, not pain me, to watch.
Now write me a receipt so I can tip on outta here...

I agree with Jason. It seems like The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus & the Suicide Girls Burlesque tour conceived a bastard child in some tent at Burning Man, and forced it to listen to nothing but mid to late-90s Ska/Lounge/Swing Revival during it's formative years.

If there was an emoticon for the "Oh God, Gimme A Break 360" eyeroll, I would have inserted it as a response instead.

Fair enough - but you've got to admit that I'm right on the Tofurkey sandwich thing.

Hmmm...fishnets, cutoffs, combat boots? I'm no Dr. Freud but I would probably take Vegas odds that TL's blossoming into manhood was accompanied by more than a few fontasies involving these two:



There's no shame in that, broham! I thought the epileptic chick was kinda hot.

The messed up thing is that not only are you right, but I was already waaaaaaay too old to be watching DeGrassi.

You can make me a Tofurkey sandwich wearing anything, or even nothing, but don't try and turn the act of making me lunch into some sort of vague, misplaced mish mash of everyday life and sexual politics.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for a gimmick. If your band wears costumes, does theme specific songs or has some implausible backstory then I'm halfway sold. If you've put your album out on 8-track or triple six inch vinyl then the money is almost yours, but in the end there has to be something else there.
 
There's the rub, the music is awful or at best standard. Dressing up, or in this case sexualising the ordinary doesn't make it extraordinary. This band are the extrapolated equivalent of drawing on your jeans in magic marker or sticking a Sonic Youth sticker on that car your parents gave you.

The real victims of the dot com bubble aren't displaced IT workers but those of us who have to endure the "zany" antics of San Franciscans with too much time on their hands.
