Got any Mondale-related Bloom County you want to post?

This is where I am torn - I am the anti-Heston but I also want to antagonize Gutter. I'm halfway through the Kiss version...
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

For the record, I'm going into retirement on political stuff. Not here nor on facebook. Nobody gives a shit, and anyway everybody should be able to find it themselves without me helping.

It's okay, Hoy. You're like the Russian judge. Your vote will either be dropped for being too high or too low.

Find that shit on your own. I'm killing my blogs too. I ought to concentrate on what I'm good at.

Alright, I listened to both.
The Replacements one has that guy from The Replacements singing and his voice is awesome.
The Kiss version has a shit ton of guitar solos and yelling.

I may have to give the slight edge to Kiss as the Replacements version is pretty much the same but without the rock.

Thank you for your endorsement Hoy. You have proven my point in a way I never could.

Oddly enough they get fat because they don't like food.

Heston's got a boner.

Hey Heston "We're Comin' Out" in numbers and "I Will Dare" to say i've "Seen Your Video" and the Kiss version left me "Unsatisfied". "Black Diamond" by The Replacements is my "Favourite Thing". Just called my mate Tommy to see what he thinks but today is the day "Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out". So I called on another friend who suffers from gender identity he's a little "Androgynous" but digs The Replacments version best. I called my other mate Gary because today is his bitrhday and he's feeling down "Sixteen Blue" no age to be sad. I called you Heston but you were out so I left a message on your "Answering Machine" it simply said hey Heston....."Let It Be". :mrgreen:
