How fast do beards soaked in Jack Daniels really go up in flames? Find out Wednesday. I’m serving up a request to show how the band gets busted ala that desktop I did a little while ago. Now you’re going to find out.
What a way to start off the Bar Fight week then with the Rolling Stones’ “Street Fighting Man”. Nearly every bar I went into during my college years had a guy or two like the one Lorraine is setting on fire. Big, burly dudes with attitudes. Most of them none to fond of skinny little twerps like me with big mouths. I am the center of attention you know and this annoys some folks. Imagine that. Toon in Wednesday for more fighting fun!
BAR FIGHT! BAR FIGHT! YEAHHHH!!!
“In this corner….”
🙂
And the fuse is lit on a mighty Rube Goldberg chain of train-wreckage … 😀
As it was so well-put just a few days ago by Ambaaargh @DMFA: Oh, look what time it is! “It’s Everything Goes Wrong O’Clock!”

Hey … if you’ve not used it yet, I think Little Feat’s “Framed” could possibly be a title that might come in handy as this story arc unfolds. If you can’t find the song, the lyrics by themselves are good for a laugh:

Robyn, as always … looking tasty-licken’ good, my man! 😛
Don’t know much of Little Feat’s music… shall correct that.
Robyn is fun to draw. She’s got spunk… 😛
Ii had everything up through Representing the Mambo, plus a smattering of newer releases from their archives. If I would recommend one album to give a person insight into their early music, then Hoy-Hoy! would be it. Just google “little feat hoy hoy” and you’ll probably recognize the album cover.
I don’t expect everyone to love every song on that album, but it does represent a comprehensive selection of their range & style up to that point. Personally, as a fan, I consider the album a masterpiece, chock-full of stunning music. It was originally released with extensive liner notes that also helped give a lot of insight into the Feats. Yes, it has “Framed,” a silly & whimisical story based upon real-life adventures, not unlike our heroes from Plan 9.
Anyway, me being an Olde Schoole jam-rocker, I didn’t much appreciate their shift in style about the time “Representing the Mambo” released and afterward … but everything before that … wow. Saw them about a dozen times, almost every time as a double-ticket with the Allman Brothers. Those two bands on stage together could string out a four-hour evening of gritty, southern-fried jam, leave your breathless under the stars. I can’t remember ever seeing them in an enclosed venue. I think it was open-air in the hot of the summer every time.
The Feat were at the height of their powers IMO *before* Roy quit. Sam and Kenny were and surely remain lovely people and fine musicians, but when the band was just Lowell, Bill, Richie and Roy they had a wholeness that the larger feat never attained.
See my reply to the Ex-pat below 🙂
Aw, come on would any of these guys hit such beautiful girls like Robyn or Lorraine ?
I mean sure, Robyn may like to get into a little scrap or two, given her tough girl attitude right ?
I don’t know… if you’re drunk enough and someone sets your beard on fire, I think a punch or two may be thrown. I’ve seen them thrown for a lot less… though admittedly, not at women normally.
Accidents wouldn’t happen if he wasn’t too busy staring at her chest.
You’re reading ahead again, good sir. Let the rest of the class catch up with you.
😛
And this is the reason I’ll give anyone who asks why I shaved off my beard.
LOL! Nice! 😛
When I was overweight and out of shape, people used to perform acts of violence or give threats to me frequently. Then, I stared working out and learning how to fight to solve this problem. It worked much better than I planned. When I became physically adept, people lost interest in starting fights with me so I didn’t have to fight people anyway. The bad side of this is when people are nice to me I don’t know if they’re nice people or if they’re afraid of what I might do to them if they’re not nice to me.
Bullies are just plain stupid and mean. To pick on someone due to their being different, be it physical or racial, is just so intolerable in my book.
My family moved a lot because my father was a teacher and every years he’d move schools to get a better job. So, every years I was the “new kid on the block” and I’d get beat up for being different. Being from farm country, I had a bit of southern accent. Then when we moved back to the farm land, I got beat up for being a “city slicker”. By high school, I’d get punched for being skinny. I joined the wrestling team mainly to learn how to defeat these idiotic morons. They can only fight with their fists, but throw some defensive wrestling moves at them and in no time you have them on the ground in a head lock screaming bloody murder.
Bullies are assholes of the biggest kind. Unfortunately, our society is full of them and they’re not going away anytime soon.
In my heart, your true friends like you for who you are. Finding those people is not easy sometimes, but they’re out there. Thanks for sharing.
But haven’t we all been their both the bully and the victim. They could use wealth, social standing, greater physical or intellectual prowess or just wit. Unless you know how to play down classism, break down social networking and can make up for years of developing and enhancing greater fighting, physical or intellectual prowess the best option I find is boasting grades or joining teams. At the witty bully seems to have a low grade point average and is still in school after one has graduated leaving the bully peers to realize how dumb they really are. As for boasting grades and join teams while one faces failure their is success and thus earning some respect otherwise not granted. Better than the snide who look up skirts and say “I can see your under ware”. Or when they are smashing a spider in a shower making noise like they defeated a mighty enemy it was just a tiny arthropod so I say “Aw you’re mean.” Drove one of my roommates mad telling me they are not just gods little creatures he also tells me the local bunny not your friend. I disagree my family, pets and local wildlife comforted me in those days.
