Random Quote
Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.
[Jean, The Entertainer John Osborne (b. 1929) British playwright]

It's a metaphor, OK?

Yes, it's well past time you took back your tv.
Sincerely,
A concerned (metaphorical) neighbour.

uggghhh... hate being unable to view videos at work... (I'm assuming any big white space is video?)
Will someone tell me what was it was all about?
Thnx

God damn right!

Thank you very much. I just HAD to borrow it.
And I'm not even a metaphorical neighbour.

"We've all given an impromptu backrub to the Chancellor of Germany!"
Priceless line but a moment that was embarrassing as hell.

I saw Roy Zimmerman perform last month in Mill Valley, California. The guy's a genius with lyrics and styling, and has great guitar and singing quality and range.
I met him before his concert, and I pointed out that he was the only "Z" in Wiki's list of American atheists. He told me that he hadn't known that, but the knowledge made him "feel a little lonely."

Roy is an absolute hero of mine. I have seen him a couple of times--had lunch with him once. Bought two copies of everything he had available at the time.
Everyone should. Support this voice!

Have to admit, not one of his best.
Posted by: gyokusai | January 22, 2008 10:22 PM
Well if that's not one of his best, I'd be content with listening to not-his-best stuff like that any time!
Just love it.

Never noticed before this one just how solid a singing voice he has.

This is an occupational hazard for satirical/topical musicians, I think. I remember being shocked, when a friend introduced me to their album of "straight" folk music, to realize that the Smothers Brothers were truly gifted musicians, and not just jokers.

When does the funny start? There have been a few videos of this guy posted here, and each one just gets more toe curlingly awful than the last.

The metaphor would have been even more apt if the thief had sodomised the TV, smashed it up, and then plundered it for parts.
