Hot Hot Heat - So So Cold
I’m not posting this because it’s a great song, I’m posting this because I love artist/song title juxtaposition.
First Mitchell Jackson, now Willy Mays...
What an amazing week for hilariously inappropriate, “too soon” jokes.
Large portion of Beatles catalog to return to McCartney through Jackson’s will.
Michael Jackson arranged to give Paul McCartney the rights to the Beatles back catalog through his will according to reports published earlier this year. The pair who scored hits together in the mid-1980’s with Say, Say, Say and The Girl Is Mine had been feuding for years after Jackson won the rights to the Beatles back catalog because of legal wrangling between Macca and John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono.
McCartney for years expressed his dissatisfaction with Jackson’s maneuver and the two were never on speaking terms again. Previously, the pair collaborated on Jackson’s 1982 ‘Thriller’ extract ‘The Girl is Mine,’ and McCartney’s 1983 single ‘Say, Say, Say’ from ‘Pipes of Peace’ and forged a close friendship.First thing I thought of when MJ died was the Beatles music, not MJs. How sad am I?
So Polish Horshoes is pretty much the greatest yard game ever. If you are not familiar with Polish Horshoes, rest easy know that it doesn’t actually involve any actual horshoes or Polish people. What it does involve is this:
2 5-6’ pieces of PVC
2 iron rods (optional)
2 rectangular wooden blocks
2 empty beer bottles
several full beer bottles
4 alcoholics
1 Frisbee
Stick the iron rods in the ground about 30-50’ apart. Stick the PVC in the ground over the iron rods so that the rods hold the pipes upright (if you can get the PVC upright by themselves, the rods are not needed). Place the wooden blocks on top of the PVC. Place the empty beer bottles on top of the wooden blocks.
Teams of two line up behind and on either side each pole, teammates stand next to the same pole. The goal is to knock the beer bottle off the pole and have it hit the ground. If the frisbee hits bottle and both the bottle and frisbee hit the ground, the throwing team is awarded 4 points. If the frisbee hits the pole and the bottle and frisbee hit the ground, the throwing team is awarded 3 points. If the bottle hits the ground, but the frisbee is caught, the throwing team is awarded 2 points. If the frisbee is hits the ground beyond the pole and is deemed “catchable”, the throwing team is awarded 1 point.
First team to 21 points wins. Enjoy!
I want to get this and wear it to Denver Pride today because T-Shirts are the best media of communication for expressing veiwpoints.
This is what Denver looks like to me. Believe it or not, but this photoshop took me 4mins!
Headed to Denver in 4,3,2,1….
uuuhhh…..if you turn on “circle of life” from the lion king and just stare at this for the duration of the song? i swear to you things will start just falling in to place.
Its true, John Elway spends his time walking down 16th street holding his hands up like that wearing his uniform, and I’ve met or known my fair share of girls who were “coors light girls”
Ha.
Wait, we have a Disneyland here? AWESOME.

The White Rabbits - Kid On My Shoulders
Just saw these guys last night and they were amazing. One of the best concerts I’ve been to in recent memory. They had an amazing energy and the crowd went crazy when they played this song. I highly recommend buying either of their albums or, if possible, seeing them live.
