Old Age, what's the Secret?

Pictured is the passport of Tuti Yusupowa, 128 years old, in a village in Karakalpakistan in a remote region of Uzbekistan Jan. 28, 2009. Yusupowa, who was born on July 1, 1880, is the world's oldest woman, said a state official Safar Hakimov who is working on a field survey to discover people aged over 100 in the country.

Usually a discovery is followed by an interview of the Oldest Person, asking "What is your secret advice to living a long life as you have?"


And they usually respond with some sort of crazy thing: and we go on our daily dailies...

Behold: AGGIE Drum Sticks

...and The AGGIE Drum Corps' lastest Recruit>>>> Buckethead... HUH?


Yeah, this performance looks like it was choreographed by Michael Jackson standing in for Madonna. What makes people act on impulse is pretty much what AGGIE football is all about. Scary, eh?

"So, welcome, mister.... uh; Bucket Head, is it? Okay, yes welcome. That pre-Obama KFC slur will go well here in Bush's Town. Prairie View A and M is down the road, if you want to visit there as well; just turn right as Wilson's Chicken."

In Review -- After the nunchuck thing, I noticed B-Head zipped through my entire repertoire in about 43 seconds after he picked up the guitar. So, that put me in the audience of teeming trillions who tried to see the jumbotron from outer spaces synchronicity. How far can you throw a fret anyway?

The crowd can be labeled in rows. Let me explain... the front is for those who don't mind close quarter moshing, shoving, sort of the vanguards, or advanced guard of the LGBiTg crowds. The last rows are the skeptics who usually say, "This blows." But in between are the stoics, and Goombahs. These are the ones who will show up when you ask them to go on a hundred mile bike ride this Sunday; or we need one more for the Rugby match on this Saturday.

The middle is the church ladies who want to rock out, but not tooo closely to others. Let me see that smile; and of course we know how church ladies would love to do the nunchuck thing.

You go to Wal-Mart for the same reason we do; the money!

Why Did Mr. Springsteen Go To Wal-Mart? by Jack Pribek [Retrieved HERE]

"So, Bruce Springsteen has a new record out, is [he] is playing the Super Bowl, did the inauguration; he’s in the press a lot these days. He also did the exclusive distribution deal with Wal-Mart on the greatest hits package."

So far so good... but there must be some angst, because we know the blog-itude too well.

Bruce touched on this briefly in a lengthy NY Times piece.

Now the FAQ start to flow for the King of Bossdom:

1. How much of a “vetting” process do you need to do on Wal-Mart?
2. Are any of you that are reading this unaware of the fact that Wal-Mart isn’t a union outfit?
3. Is everybody in Springsteen’s organization that far out of touch?

Okay, the argument is [a]-WalMart #1; [b]-non-union shop; [c]-Springsteen Inc. C-class out of the loop. Check!
Bruce sings for everyman. That’s the shtick right? ...The deal is, you shop at Wal-Mart because it’s cheap and you work at Wal-Mart because they are hiring.

The appeal to the Bross:

1. C’mon Bruce! You did it for the money, right?
2. Because Wal-Mart is the one that still throws some cash out there, right?
3. That’s something everyman can understand. You go to Wal-Mart for the same reason we do; the money!

Between you me and a can of Shasta Cream Soda, I really do not see how the King of Howling has much to do with me, you or the soda. But, we shall attempt to tie it together, shall we?

There is no mistake here. Pribek's scoop of the entrails of the deal are a perfect cross-section of how it is right now in AO America. [After Obama America] Wal-Mart came through the prairie dust storm and reigns supreme. Still on top and still moving laterally through the entire world.

It is called Supply Chain mechanics, Value Added Re-Sale Demand, money in the pursuit of developing markets dynamics, it's why Cheney was Vice president in charge of distribution economics ...call it:

"I will eat these vegetables - but it is good to have a big juicy steak once in awhile consumer bifurcations." For Chrissses' Sake, where do the sisters all shop?

I think what is being circled by these wagons, in the Pribek query is a question: "What happened to the Prestige?"

Ah-ha! Said the Wagon Master: Where is the applause meter? What happened to the celebration? Where can we go to get high, enjoy some music and not be hassled?

Can I get a witness? OOOORaH, BEEEEEAcH

THIS IS A GOOD DECENT MAN WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE THIS AND: HE SIGNED THE STATEMENT AND: INCLUDED HIS CONTACT INFO:
READ ON

I'm sure those of you who aren't in the cattle business don't understand the issues here. But to those of us whose living depends on the cattle market, selling cattle, raising the best beef possible... This is frustrating.

The original message is from the Texas Cattle Feeders Association McDonald's claims that there is not enough beef in the USA to support their restaurants. Well, we know that is not so. Our opinion is they are looking to save money at our expense. The sad thing of it is that the people of the USA are the ones who made McDonald's successful in the first place, but we are not good enough to provide beef.

We personally are no longer eating at McDonald's, which I am sure does not make an impact, but if we pass this around maybe there will be an impact felt.

Please pass it on. Just to add a note: All Americans that sell cows at a livestock auction barn had to sign a paper stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cows any part of another cow. South Americans are not required to do this as of yet.

McDonald's has announced that they are going to start importing much of their beef from South America . The problem is that South Americans aren't under the same regulations as American beef producers, and the regulations they have are loosely controlled.

They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures that have been banned here at home because of residues found in the beef. They can also use various hormones and growth regulators that we can't. The American public needs to be aware of this problem and that they may be putting themselves at risk from now on by eating at good old McDonald's.

American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and this is what Americans deserve to eat. Not beef from countries where quality is loosely controlled. Therefore, I am proposing a boycott of McDonald's until they see the light.

I'm sorry but everything is not always about the bottom line, and when it comes to jeopardizing my family's health, that is where I draw the line.

I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ...and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you? Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.

Gravy aka Jamal "Gravy" Woolard is Notorious B.I.G. aka Christopher Wallace

PHOTO Right: Leading Ladies that were interviewed for major motion picture...

& Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits
Jan 14th 2009 | by Kevin Polowy

Talk about B.I.G. shoes to fill. When he was cast in 'Notorious,' Jamal Woolard didn't just land his first acting gig, he landed a starring role playing one of his biggest influences. Woolard is Christopher Wallace, aka the Notorious B.I.G., aka the late icon widely considered the greatest rapper of all time...

Woolard isn't a no-name plucked from obscurity, though -- he's also a rapper known as Gravy. In 2006, he was shot in the rump outside a Manhattan radio station, and rather than rush to the hospital, he went on with a scheduled on-air appearance, bullet lodged in his behind. Now that's ... what's the word? ... gangsta. -- By Kevin Polowy

Do you see many similarities between yourself and Biggie?

Yeah, 'cause my first dream was music ... And just being from Brooklyn, couple of blocks from where he was. I never met Big, closest I got to Big, sad to say, was his funeral. But just playing somebody you're fans of ... It's like, if you could do Big, how would you do it? When I was in high school, [I used to think] what it would feel like to be Big. And what's crazy is, I had my daughter when I got on set, when my dreams was being fulfilled. And he had his daughter when he got his first Bad Boy check. So that's a similarity. And I had my daughter on March 10, and he died on March 9...

And I went out and I read on it. I seen the [other people trying out for the role], that's what made me gain the weight cause I seen how many big dudes [were] out, like, "Whoa, they huge!" I'm not that huge. So I ate. I was at 285, went to 340.

What else was "Biggie boot camp" besides putting on the weight?

You know, [studying his] behavior, mannerisms, his movement, his patterns, his hands, how he'd scratch the back of his head, [keep his] chin up high, cotton balls in the mouth, the walk, the speech, the rhymes, the delivery. I studied both albums, and 'Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits,' cause you know his mom loves country music, so I had to know what that sound like. It [was] a lot.

This rocks. Someone told me Goblin Cock was pussy metal no way. I'm going to these guys on saturday at the legendary Hollywood Alley. Last time they were in town I had to miss the show cause I was in a World of Warcraft instance.

"On the Underwire: about San Diego’s doom metal meets nerd culture band Goblin Cock, and we think we have a new favorite nerd band at ZoMoPro.com."

The group consists of band leader Lord Phallus along with bandmates Bane Ass-Pounder, King Sith, Braindeath and Loki Sinjuggler and their latest release, Come With Me If You Want To Live (referenced from the mover The Terminator), gives you a pretty good idea of where they are coming from.

Above is a video from that release for the single We’ve Got A Bleeder, which is something to be witnessed.

UPDATE for Super Bowl XLIII Advertisers -- PETA and Later on this Night...

Sexy PETA Ad Banned From Super Bowl
01.29.2009

The tagline at the end reads, "Studies show vegetarians have better sex. Go veg."

A PETA spokeswoman said the animal rights group received an e-mail from NBC saying the ad "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards." PETA said NBC asked it to edit some of the sexy scenes out of the ad but the organization refused.

filed under: Bullshit National News
(Jan. 28) - NBC has deemed a PETA commercial featuring lingerie-clad models demonstrating their fondness for veggies too sexy for the Super Bowl, the animal rights group said.
The spot, titled 'Veggie Love,' shows the beauties relishing their passion for produce in a series of steamy scenes. One suggestively rubs asparagus down her bare torso, another lovingly caresses a spear of broccoli, while a third enjoys a vegetable bubble bath.

One Year Ago Last Wednesday: R.I.P. Bam Bam Bigelow
Written by Glen Boyd | Published January 21, 2007 [SOURCE]
Bam Bam !! Professional wrestling lost one of the best "big men" in it's history this past Friday January 19, 2007, as Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow was found dead at the age of 45 by his girlfriend. The cause of his death is unknown.

I found a nice tribute video to Bam Bam from the folks at The Fight Network. Who could ever replace the Big Man who is Quick on his Feet???

"The Beast From The East," Bam Bam Bigelow was known for his massive size and trademark tattooed forehead, which bore red and yellow flames that matched his ring attire. Bigelow was a rarity in the world of professional wrestling: a big man who could stand toe-to-toe in the ring with such equally massive combatants as Andre The Giant and The Undertaker, he also moved with the same agility of much smaller wrestlers like Rey Mysterio and Sean "X-Pac" Waltman.

Bigelow worked matches with most of the biggest WWF names, such as Bret "Hitman" Hart (who praised his wrestling ability as being remarkable for such a big man), The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan. In these matches, Bigelow would run the ring with the agility of a man half his size, doing somersaults and flying off of the ropes. His arsenal of wrestling moves even included a textbook moonsault, a move popularized by smaller wrestlers of the Lucha Libre discipline, and one that most wrestlers his size would not even dare to attempt.
