I Want Candy...

Happy Halloween everybody!

Good Kitty!

a bloody rat? that's nothing- look what Phoebe brought in! She assured me - it was a very slow death!

Veggies in November

I'd like to find out how many Floridians- being kept alive artificailly- have voted in recent elections.

Probably not the best case to discuss dignity and dying, it just does not fit too neatly in that package; I suspect that Bush acted due to pressure from within his own party's right wing not so much from his own desires. He could have just issued and executive order to replace the feeding tube and it would have been just as constitutional as an ex post facto law passed by the legeslature,,, Instead he passed the buck (wisely I think) to the fairly left leaning legeslature on the assumption that they would not do anything about it. Opps, they called his bluff and dumped this mess back on him. So while I think a robust disscussion is needed on the right to die, this case has too many side issues to ever get it pidgeon holed into a black and white question. I suspect that every politician in Flordia would have loved to had this one come down anywhere else....

Thanks Roland...
Damn, that's fucking beautiful.

You should post those lyrics, Bill...

Ya know, in addition to Roland, we have Jeff and Ben Blevins (of Lighting Charlie) to thank for the lyrics to "Cows on Parade", just thought I'd mention that...

Hey I know this one,,, Randall is living in the Tri-Cities, should be in the phone book, he works as a medical sales rep., selling I believe prosthetic devices,,,, I may be wrong on that. Also another clue in the "Find Jeff Campbell" saga,, I think his fathers name was Raymond, am I right on that Roland?

Well, it's narrowed down to Chattanooga...thanks Roland.
I'll throw out a couple of other names from the old days. Whatever happened to Matt and Randall Jones? And what about Pauli Allison? I haven't talked to Pauli since she was at Anderson College, but I know that she had married a man named David, moved to the Carolinas, and had a baby. That was the late 80's and I've heard nothing since.

I ran into Sheri (pronounced Leonard Skinerd,,, oops, I mean Share-ree) about 2 years ago in J.C., she was married and working at Shoneys at the time, but I have not seen her since, I imagine she is still around North JC. Their other friend Ruth still lives on the family farm with her hubby and a couple of kids, she is teaching in Sullivan Co. and would probably know the whereabouts of both Sheri and Anne....

Damn...a truck driver...I'll just bet he's got some great stories to tell!
I've wondered about Anne through the years. And Cheree' too. Remember Cheree'? I'm sure I'm spelling her name wrong.
Thanks for the quick answer to my inquiry, Bill.

The last I heard of Jeff, he was a long haul trucker. Really,,, no shit! Jeff has always been one of my favorite people and a forgotten hero in the early JC scene. Little known fact; he was one of 4 bass players that Final Curtain had in its history, but it should be noted that when Bruce first suggested starting a band, it was Jeff that volunteered before anyone else that night at QB's. Mind you starting a punk band in JC during 1984 was a risky enough proposition, and at one of our shows we had a black guy demand that we play Lynrd Skynrd,,,, strange and violent night, but I digress,,,, anyway, I heard that Jeff was a trucker from a client as he was being sent to jail for raping his best friend's wife, so that info might be suspect.

One other Final Curtain Fun Fact,,, at one time, the majority of our members had dated Anne Canter... including Jeff!

Jeff left the area in 1985 or so and moved with his family to California, but in the late 80's and early 90's I spoke to him via phone and he was in Chattanoga. After that, I lost touch with him... super super super nice guy, and probably the greatest intellect ever to drive an 18 wheeler!

So if you are out there Jeff and reading this, write me at bill37663@hotmail..... and Nicky if you want to know about who has six toes, you better write me there too. It's kind of a long story..........

Also Jeff, if you are reading this, how egotistical does a person have to be to do a name search on themselves???

Oh, please tell me about the many-toed band!
Now there's a request you don't hear everyday...and I'll bet I'm the only person on the blog who doesn't know who you are talking about...

I went to the same high school as you, Bill. I was a freshman when you were a senior. You would probably not remember, as I didn't really stand out all that much. I do remember discussing music with you a time or two. Ah, a fond memory...
And on another note, does anybody know whatever became of Mr. Jeff Campbell?

Or perhaps Roland, we could use the blog to publish the Final Curtain Fun Facts List; Remember? About how we all had an uncle named Steve, and how unlike another JC band none of us had more than 5 toes on either foot?

True, in fact as I recall that was once a very entertaining hobby of ours! Just a bunch of lunatic fringe moderates, hey, send me your new email address soon, hope school is going well for ya!

perhaps we can just use this as a message board since everyone seems to have abandoned it, except Nicky,,, who is Nicky by the way? Seems like a nice sort!

Any extras on that DVD Roland? lost footage? bloopers? Damn I have not thought about that movie in years... when I worked for probation and parole myself and a coconspirator once had a showing of it during lunch in the training room using the VCR the state had gotten us to watch training videos (they ran out of money though and never bought any training videos, to the best of my knowledge Redneck Zombies was the only movie ever watched on it!) By the way, are "Surf Nazis Must Die", "Sorority Babes in Slimeball Bowlarama" or "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" out on DVD yet?

Well Roland, I was hopeing to read more Haiku, but apparently the poetry contest is at an end..., once again you have added to your already impressive resume...."Warrior, Kung Fu Librarian, Porn Visionary," and now, "Poet." Truly you are a man for all seasons!

A carton of Kools

Rove to follow him??

Poor pitiful Rush
I hope that Donovan will
soon make him his bitch

I thought that might be good for a laugh......

Ah, Bill has broken the silence...
Here's a lovely e-mail joke that I recently received:


Three dogs, a Doberman, a Boxer, and a Labrador are sitting in the waiting room at the vet's office when they strike up a conversation.

The Doberman turns to the Boxer and says, "So why are you here?"

The Boxer replies, "I'm a pisser." "I piss on everything - the sofa, the cat, the kids." "But the final straw was last night, when I pissed in the middle of my owner's bed."

The Doberman says, "So what is the vet going to do?"

"Lethal injection" came the reply from the sad Boxer.

The Doberman then turns to the Labrador and asks, "Why are you here?"

The Lab says, "I'm a digger." "I dig under fences, dig up flowers and trees." "I dig just for the hell of it." "When I'm inside, I dig up the carpets." "But I went over the line last night when I dug a great big hole in my owner's couch."

"So what are they going to do to you?" the Doberman inquired.

"Lethal injection" came the reply from the sad Labrador.

The Labrador then turns to the Doberman and asks why he's at the vet's office.

"I'm a humper," the Doberman says. "I'll hump anything." "I'll hump the cat, a pillow, the table, whatever." "I want to hump everything I see."

Yesterday, my owner had just gotten out of the shower and was bending down to dry her toes, and I just couldn't help myself.

I hopped on her back and started humping away, taking her from Behind like crazy."

The Boxer and Labrador exchange a sad glance and say, "So, lethal injection for you too, huh?"

"No, no," the Doberman says, "I'm here to get my nails clipped."

Rather tasteless, isn't it?

So........... Heard any good jokes lately?
