I can see this is a bad idea already, discussions of this topic always degenerate into steroidal rants ie "not only do I use motherfuckin' telephone cables but I've got them set up 3 feet off the neck" and all chicks + guys who 'like' chicks (inc.queers) leave the room. Like it's not enough to swing a dick substitute in the first place without extra chest-beating re huge thick-ass strings and impossibly high action! Anyway, mine go from 19 to 87.

My wife bought a fruity herbal conditioner. I thought it smelled like monkey vomit.
I had a roommate in college who would shower three to four times a day. She would wear a sweater out of the bathroom, pulling it down in front to cover her naughty bits. Of course that made it rise in the back, unknowingly (to her) exposing her mud flaps. My other roommate and I would shoot rubberbands at the fleshy target, getting in several shots during the ten seconds it would take her to stutter-step to her room. Strangely, she seemed amused and never bothered to cover her bottom, even after being hit.

If the title wasn't rediculous enough, this is the tracklist:
1.Black Dragons soar above the Mountain of Shadows - Keyboard Instrumental
2.To dethrone the Witch-Queen of Mytos K'unn (The legend of the battle of Blackhelm Vale)
3.As the Vortex illuminates the cystalline walls of Kor-Avul-Thaa
4.Starfire burning upon the ice-veiled throne of Ultima Thule
5.Journey to the Isle of Mists (Over the moonless depths of night-dark seas)
6.The Splendour of a thousand swords gleaming beneath the blazon of the Hyperborean Empire
7.. And lo, when the Imperium marches against Cul-Kothoth, then dark sorceries shall enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown
8.Summoning the Guardians of the Astral Gate
9.In the Raven-haunted forests of Darkenhold, where Shadows reign and the hues of sunlight never dance
10.At the altar of the Dreaming Gods

I dunno why this made me laugh. Perhaps it's because I imagine you being really concerned about the thoroughness of her collection while simultaneously plotting for booty. Or that she wasn't worthy unless her Sassy collection was complete.

"When punk happened 30 years ago, nothing could have prepared the scene for what was about to happen. They were a truly original breed - NOTHING like this had happened before - ever."
Well, apart from rock 'n' roll itself 20 years earlier of course....

"The supposed 'punks' now DO have the original punks as a reference point"

So pretty much like the punks had the original rock 'n' rollers as a reference point....

"which of course means that the whole meaning of the punk scene has been wiped away..... punk was new, vibrant, fresh, dirty, unacceptable...."

Much like rock 'n' roll had been 20 years previously....

"now 'piunk'is merely a lazy journo phrase, or a sad selling point for fat record execs to get rich over."

Much like rock 'n' roll had become by the time punk appeared.

Punk's about as valid and about as revolutionary today as rock'n' roll was before punk came along.

-- Stewart Osborne (stewart.osborn...), February 27th, 2003.


Stewart - your punk-follows-rock'n'roll claim is baffling in the extreme. And quite wrong, too.
Johnny Rotten got beaten up once, I remember, forshouting at some teddy boys that "Elvis lives in a wooden box"..... so I can't honestly see that there is much connection, can you?

this could be boring but...
here is my top 10 pragmatic longevity tips nowadays
1 basicaly be happy.
2 practice c.r
3 sleep 5 or 6 hours per night, no more no less.
4 do light exercices like walking an hour per day, using steps rather than elevators if you can etc
5 get medical insurance
6 practice yoga to learn how to breath healthily to avoid stress and anxiety
7 work at a place that is not polluted, have low accident risk and feel a healthy pride at your workplace
8 be part of a social network: join a commercial, charity or recreational group for a sense of belonging against alienation
9 don't smoke or hang around second hand smoke
10 avoid living in an area where disasters are likely to happen (war, earthquake, tidal waves, tornado etc)

what are your best practical longevity tips?

I think the idea of working out doesn't sit well with people becuase its no fun, in fact its a loathesome bag of dead infant octopuses rotting in the dump. SO, I have been trying to think up a way to make it more enjoyable. I also would like to host " Wake Me Up" THis would be an hour of aerobics to the song "Wake Me up Before You GOGO". By the end you would be insane and very happy and fit.

And I couldn't help but recycle the "you're old . . " line. Me and a friend were in a taxi coming back from Liverpool and when were stopped at a set of traffic lights he spotted two middle aged women in the car next to us, so he winds down his window, signals for them to do the same, which they do, before screaming the above insult at them until our car pulled away.
