Evan Dando's hair is sad & desperate, that's enough

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Lyle Lovett tickets go for anywheres up to 75 bucks, depending on where he is playing. And he typically plays large venues like Wolftrap. Thus, he is not sad and desperate. Neither are those who can afford his show, and neither are those of us who were smart enough to see him at Borders a few years ago.
 
 Like I'm sure you've listened to a lot of his music....hmmm, maybe his music is good for a car ride or two...

[poorlulu]

Sure. I am sure Pyle Lovless is really talented........
 
 I don't go for fancy cars
 For diamond rings
 Or movie stars
 I go for penguins
 Oh Lord I go for penguins
 
 Throw your money out the door
 We'll just sit around
 And watch it snow
 I go for penguins
 Oh Lord I go for penguins
 
 Penguins are so sensitive
 Penguins are so sensitive
 Penguins are so sensitive
 To my needs
 
 Penguins are so sensitive
 Penguins are so sensitive
 Penguins are so sensitive
 To my needs
 To my needs
 To my needs
 To my needs
 
 Penguins are so sensitive
 Penguins are so sensitive
 Penguins are so sensitive
 To my needs
 To my needs
 To my needs
 
 To my needs
 To my needs
 To my needs
 To my needs
 To my needs
 
 To my needs
 To my needs
 
 
 Those lyrics are sooo deep. I can just imagine you getting your better half to wear a penguin suit and waddle about so you can sing it to her.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

My wife in a penguin suit...hmmm, now there's something we haven't tried yet. I'm liking that idea already...well she is very sensitive...

Lyle is brilliant.  That dry nonsense is so enjoyable.  He mixes songs that are fun, crazy, sensitive, important, silly and heartfelt.  And they're all beautifully executed.  A Lyle Lovett concert is truly a thrill.
 
 No sharp objects to the head, just great appreciation for someone at the top of his particular field, even though it's not my normal field.

Smackette sniffed out an Irish market around the corner of our new place in SF.  They serve imported puddings, real bacon and porks, lucozade and of course hob knobs and other choccie goodies.  Bloody things are costing me a fortune.

I have a Scottish pie place around the corner from me that sells stuff like that. Damned British store hours too! Don't know how they can afford to stay in business when most people don't have time to shop until after they close.

At $1.50 to $2.00 for a candy bar, they don't have to sell much to stay in business.

I think I may know the answer to that....in Britain the choccie has to have a certain amount of cocoa in it to be chocolate, whereas in the US as long as it has "some cocoa" in it...it's chocolate. Therefore Brit choc has more cocoa and so more flavour....I'm sure Rhett, GGW or some other smart arse will correct me if I'm wrong, but I did hear that one time.
