Nice teeth, lady…

with one comment

You know, I like being hit on as much as the next guy…but there are times like today when it’s not so great.

So I went to Waffle House for lunch. I also went last week for lunch and it was full of non-white girls working and they were nice, courteous, orderly, funny. Today was like a different world. All white women who look as is they’d been rode hard and put up wet. The one who waited on me was outwardly flirting with me. I was one of 2 customers in the place. It made me a little uneasy, especially when she smiled. The girl had some major teeth issues going on. She was pretty relentless and I tried to ignore her as much as possible. I inhaled my eggs and hash browns as fast as I could and got the hell out. A different toothless girl rang me up and was asking me a bunch of questions. “Where did you get that ring?” “Are you a biker?” “Do you live nearby?” It was insane. I was totally uncomfortable. That’s not a normal feeling for me.

Maybe today was payback for all of my flirting. I do it a lot. Really. A LOT.

On the bright side, my waitress had a really nice ass. At least it was nice while it was all wrapped up in her pants. Probably not so much if that beast ever got loose.

Run to the hills!

Good game against a weak team. Hopefully the Steelers can keep it together for the season.

RIP Jerry Reed

I remember watching him on Hee Haw as a little kid. Yes, I watched Hee Haw. Some of the world’s greatest musicians passed through that show. Jerry did a lot of movies as well. He was hilarious…Gator, Smokey and the Bandit (I,II and III), High Ballin’. The Snowman!

Total badass guitar player. I’m a little sad.

She’s pretty but alas, she won’t get my vote no matter the hottie factor.

I am alive inside your wife…

I’m a little tired this morning. Met up with Amelia and Tracey at the Mean Eyed Cat yesterday evening after making some ghetto tacos at home. They weren’t that good. I was let down. My tacos are usually good…you know, for gheto tacos. Not quite sure what happened. Anyway, after 2 free beers from Amelia (she rules) I was over it. The music was driving me nuts and I really never heard a damned thing either of them said to me. I think my hearing is getting worse. I went to my favorite watering hole and had a margarita and a few shots with the fine staff there. Always a good time.

So in 1987, I bought a copy of Aardschok America magazine that had King Diamond on the cover. I didn’t really know much about him except that he was in Mercyful Fate and that the album cover for Don’t Break The Oath creeped me out. It still does actually. So I’m reading this interview with King and he’s talking about the concept of his latest album entitled Abigail. It seemed pretty nifty so I decided to buy it. I think I got it at either The Music Man or Tracks. Not sure.

For whatever reason I didn’t get around to listening to it for a few days. So that same week, I heard on the radio that tickets for Anthrax/Testament were on sale so I decided to head out to Tracks @ Ward’s Corner (RIP) to get my ticket. On the way there which was about a 25 mile trek or more, I put Abigail in. At the same time, the skies grew dark and a really bad thunderstorm came up. If you’ve heard the intro to Abigail, you’ll recall the speaking part at the beginning. Crazy stuff. With the heavy rain, thunder and lightning, I got a little wigged out and had to stop the tape and put something else in (TT Quick’s Metal of Honor I think).

The next day I put the tape in and listened intently. I was completely blown away by the guitar work and Mikkey Dee’s drumming but King’s vocals took several listen to get in to. Now I simply love what he did with Fate and the early King Diamond stuff. Very unique and borderline brilliant all around.

The last 30 seconds of the album are so absolutely phenomenal that even writing this I get goosebumps. Sheer perfection for an ending.

I understand a lot of people not liking King’s vocal style, but the music on this album far outweighs the singing and should be taken on its own merits.
