verb606 Said (regarding Frankie Knuckles and the street sign named after him):
For the record, (Frankie Knuckles Way in Chicago) was an honorary naming. I'm glad Frankie got the dap, but make no mistake, no one in Chicago (except perhaps the die-hardest of house heads) tells people that they'll meet them at the intersection of Randolph and Frankie Knuckles. [/b]
I don't know, I thought the shit was funny. "Intersection of Randolph and Frankie Knuckles"!!!

I think this means we need to have a beer together. Our senses of humor seem to be aligned. When's your soul night again?
fuck the previous dj...run the needle across whatever bullshit record he was playing..(that way you'll get the crowds attention)...grab the mic and say "YA'LL MUTHAFUCKAS READY FOR THE REAL SHIT SAY HOOOOO!!!!!" at this point drop a loop of Flash's theme by Queen on -8 pitch then lead the crowd in the call/response of your choice something like "when i say dj...yall say ... (insert dj name here) ...dj ... (name)... dj... (name) "
then say "big shout to (fake celebrity who really isn't there) in the house..i see you dog...imma bout to do this....here we go "
then transform scratch into whatever song you choose to play..
this shit is classic and I still want to try this one time
Yeah, this still sometimes flashes across my mind as I am cueing up a record for play after someone else's at a gig. All time legendary post.
yeah, it really still is one of the funniest posts eva on this board.
i was thinking about that post the other day at work and i laughed out loud .

BTW, it's just now dawning on me: this is the second time that a random offhanded comment of yours made this thread...the one about the guy watching the Chipmunks' movie via his laptop on the subway train (Red Line, I'll bet) was a howler too.

I'm sayin. That's what prompted the beer remark. We might be kindred spirits. if not, we can at least talk about girls on the el train.

Too bad there's no soul nite this weekend. From what I've seen yesterday, women in boots are making a STRONG last stand before summer shows up...

Really? I'm glad you're seeing that. I'm already seeing a lot of flips-flops with the business wear which is NAGL to the fullest.
anyway, let me know what's up on the soul night. and tell Coma Toast too. I know he's down.

b,121I was (and, if I'm being honest with myself, remain) a huge Bloom County fan, but Opus is wack as F*ck--overindulgent, self-important, poorly written, and so frequently just rehash. Like Prince (yeah, that's right), Breathed did his best when he was pushing against limits--the constraints of weekday comic pages, the daily grind, etc. Once he got on this marquee shit (there was some stipulation, wasn't there, that any paper that wanted to carry Opus had to guarantee it a pretty kingly amount of physical space? like half a page or something?), once he could do just what he wanted to do and only had to do it once a week, the bloat set in pretty quick. I think the only thing I've seen in Opus that's amused me even mildly has been in these last few weeks, where he's altered the strip's fine print of "Washington Post Syndicate" to read "Washington Post Scared, Huddled Flock" and shit like that.

b,121To my mind, Peanuts begat Doonesbury and Bloom County, and after that it's pretty much variations on a theme. Gary Larson comes close, but he's still a son of a son.

On some high-school band trip to New Orleans, these two guys I knew managed to connive a couple of girls into playing strip poker. After the girls got creeped out, folded early, and left the room, the guys--missing the point entirely--kept playing cards. I get the same kind of vibe from Sandy Nelson records.

font class="post"1b,121b,121You know, I don't know a hundred percent exactly how it all went down, but I can say this: When my friends and I checked in on the poker room real quick on our way out, it was two fully dressed dudes--it's gonna sound like I'm making this up, but I'm not: one dude was wearing a button-up, some slacks, his saxophone, and a fucking beret, and the other dude was rocking, like, standard-issue Hobie t-shirt and jeans, topped off with an Urban Cowboy-type lid and a motherfucking serape (what can I say? among small-town high-schoolers on extended out-of-town road trips, trying to reinvent one's "look"--however ill-advisedly--is not uncommon [I'm sure you've at one time or another seen a group of non-local teens walking around somewhere and thought to yourself "Wow, that kid on the right clearly does not wear that hat/scarf/monocle/etc. when he's in his hometown" {hogginthefogg: "you've gotta make sure you wear it on the inside, too"}])--and two fully dressed girls. I went down to the hotel lobby to try and talk to this punk girl over by the pinball machines ("I like your pins"), and when my friends and I checked back in on the poker room a couple hours later, Dude One was down to an undershirt and a saxophone, and Dude Two appeared to be down to just the hat and the serape (it should be noted that my observations are based on what was visible above the table, and thus may not represent the, uh, whole story), and the ladies had left. All of which is just to say that while I don't know whether the dudes kept taking clothes off after the girls left, they certainly hadn't been putting any clothes back on.
