Burn in Hell, Strom

Here's a charming excerpt from Strom Thurmond .

For Your Viewing Pleasure

Here's a little movie that reminds me an awful lot of the ouvre of Scott Wiper. Enjoy.

Success!

Congratulations, Andrew! For two days, you have successfully tested my patience with your dull photo. The rounds counter will be appropriately amended to reflect the results of your test.

The Hammer

Oh, I don't know, this might be Ulster if that means we can put the hammer down on some "activists".

If You Can't Win, Cheat

Because clearly without cheating there's no way to beat the Mighty Devil Rays.

Hey Andrew, for crying out loud, why can't you choose your dates with the time and care that you choose your words? Someone buy the boy a calendar.

Clarification

Hey Uday, the Ranch is Iran, not Iraq, and you're no Mullah. Why don't you go sip some tea in the living room and read poetry. Don't forget to tighten the strap on your helmet. Anyway, Andrew and I have an agreement that he pays off his last round next week at a happy hour so I guess I can do the same. Andrew, make sure you send Lerner a thank you note for rewarding your incompetence.

I am expecting to HEAR a complete report at happy hour but the "posting" I dare not make assumptions on on. Maybe it will appear as an appendix in Andrew's book and you can read it at the signing. Andrew may even autograph it for you.

In regard to "Barracuda Magazine", I skimmed the manifesto and found no references to "Hot Rods" or Rockabilly". While I have no strong opinions on "Hot Rods", per se, I feel that "Rockabilly" should be actively discouraged at the Ranch. I mean, I personally have no problem if, say, a Stray Cats or Horton Heat song found its way onto a mix tape or anything, but an overall tone of rockabilly invites the worst kind of hair.

Also, I have a United Airlines Attache Magazine that contains a lot of Shag illustrations, but I don't propose that we add a link anywhere to that.
