This is fucking awesome. Playstations will have to be added to forbidden off-field activities, like dirt bikes and "treadmills."

At least Hideki Matsui makes  no bones about it:

 
Quote:

Indeed, his only eccentricity, if it can be called that, is his extensive private library of adult videos. His refreshing ability to laugh self-deprecatingly about his porno collection, reporters say, is one reason why fans and even nonfans have taken to him so much. Says former reporter Isao Hirooka: "Hideki just wants to be like ordinary people."
 



"Holy shit, Mozart. Get me off this fucking thing."

That game is a scourge.  Both my kids are seriously addicted to it.  

If I hear that fucking song about Glenn Danzig's mother blasting out of their bedroom one more time, I'm going terminal.  I'm going to go dig out my wife's Barry Manilow and Shaun Cassidy LP's from the bottom shelf of the pie safe where I hid them about ten years ago, then roll my Altec Lansings down the hall and surround my boys' bedroom doorway with about 800 watts of speakerage.  I'll crank the box up full tilt, with it fully aimed at their room, just like the CIA did when they drove out Noriega in Panama.  My offsprings will come running out of there like roaches from under a cabinet you just sprayed.

Fuck that fuckin' game.

My wife has a Shaun Cassidy record.  She made me listen to it the other day.

I would do anything for love.  But I won't do that!

Of course my wife also has Sean Cassidy's greatest hits.  She also just bought the Patridge Family's greatest hits AND the Brady Bunch's greatest hits.
Boom!

My wife just bought Moi?'s CD (we saw them in NYC) and is ripping her KMFDM and Thrill Kill Cult CDs to iTunes.  We may have found opposite ends of the music spectrum.

LPs, my man.  Elpees.  Thirty-three and a thirds.  Big 12 inchers.  Platters.  Plastic waffles.  Vinyl is final.  Trax on wax. . .  


Anyway, yes.  Though actually, I am going easy.  My sweetheart also brought into our union The Captain & Tennille, Andy Gibb, and that guy who used to date the chick who was Michael J. Fox's sister on Family Ties.  Leif Garrett?

Those are buried about a foot-and-a-half deep in the back yard, just north of my shop, next to the birdbath.

I actually had to find a digital version of a Shaun Cassidy song a few months back.  For my wife's 40th birthday, I made a little compilation CD to give out at the party, kind of a "Greatest Hits Of My Life So Far" thing.  I started with the #1 Song on the day she was born, and asked her to pick some songs that represent various periods of her life.  One period was apparently "the roller rink", and she wanted Shaun Cassidy as well as the Bay City Rollers.  The BCRs weren't too hard to find, but you try fining Shaun Cassidy on CD.  It ain't easy my friend.

I'll put my wife's Brady Bunch knowledge up against anyone's.  She has this little thing she does, where when she watches a Brady Bunch episode, she has to guess the title of the episode within the first 5 seconds of it.

My wife brought some stuff into the union as well, such as the Shaun Cassidy and BCRs, but she also brought with her a practically untouched original Van Halen first LP.  I broke it out the other night, and couldn't believe 1) how good it sounded and 2) how young they all looked.  Hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago.

shit tons much tougher fretwork for damn sure, this is true.
if ANYONE can beat the buckethead song on expert, i'll...i dunno, give you a giant damn cookie i guess.  but whatever, that shit if f'n hard.

but i was going for more right arm-numbing destruction from the insane amounts of strumming those power chords in monkey wrench and who was in my room.   i thought my right arm was DEAD.
Here are just a few of the key ingredients: dynamite, pole vaulting, laughing gas, choppers - can you see how incredible this is going to be?

no need for drastic measures quite yet.  they just need to move on on the song list.  have no fear, they will soon be bombarding your ears with constant renditions of *shudder* rush.  and oh yes, play some skynard, Freebird.
