Now you’ve got to ask if it takes all 21 steps to satisfied Lorraine? Also, wouldn’t it be handy as hell if women did come with a manual like that? Would have saved me a lot of time in the days of back seat rendezvouses.
Dipping back into the Boston pool for today’s tune. Their second album, “Don’t Look Back,” had some great tunes and some misfires. You’d think after taking two years to produce the damn thing they would have weeded out the not-so-great tunes. But, that’s Boston. They can take a decade (and often do) to produce an album and it still have some weak shots on it. Man… but I still buy them. Damn impulse buys! 😛

Honestly, I would’ve thought “You should be able to do at least seven of these …”
What happens in Utah stays in Utah. For the love of God … KEEP IT IN UTAH! Although, I’ve interesting things about New Zealand over the years. 😛 😀
New Zealand… that little forgotten country/island that’s a hop, skip and a jump north of Antarctica. That neck of the woods is on my bucket list to visit someday just to say “Yeah, I’ve been there, so shut up…”
We old men get cranky in our waning years.

“interesting things about New Zealand”
Bring on the hobbit sex jokes!
Hey Byron!!! Glad to see you and the 1977 gang are back!! Been jonesing bigtime! Hope all is well!
Ziggy
Ziggy! Rock on man… I’m gonna see about doing Mardi Gras this year and get down in your neck of the woods.
Did that,
done that,
Tried that one once but couldn’t walk straight the next day,
That looks interesting,
I might be able to do that if I stretch first,
That’s new!
Ahhhh Utah,
Never done that,
Can’t do that… I’ve tried twice,
No,
No,
Willing to try I guess,
Can I take this book to the bathroom for a few minutes? 😉
Nice… 🙂 I’m gonna name Lorraine’s next boyfriend Mark just for you…
😛
Does that mean after they break up Mark’s going to have to change his screen-name to “Mark, Lorraine’s Last Boyfriend”?
Actually I was thinking of using Mark, Lorraine’s former boyfriend, so that once I’m past I’m past.
And Byron, you just made a truly crappy Wednesday an amazing wednesday! Thank you!
So if he can’t, then his place so she can leave in the middle of the night.
Once had to remember where I left my car, but never ditched someone in the middle of the night like that. Though I did once leave a date in a restaurant because she was being such a bitch… I’m a pretty easy going guy, so it takes a LOT for me to get to that point. And I’m not a fan of calling women a bitch either… but this one was an exception.
😛
So we’re talking pre-statehood polygamy Utah? Those were crazy times.
I love Boston, by the way. I never could figure them out. I loved their first three albums and I remember hearing that the studio had to sue them to get them to make their contractually obligated third album. I’m too tire do look that up to see if it’s true, but wow…for a band that did such great work, they seemed very reluctant to do it. That’s crazy artists for you, huh?
Unclemac below wraps it up nicely… Tom Scholz was just a total control freak and it was his way or the highway. Still is best I can tell. But those first two albums were worth it and they spent a LOT of time on my turntable and in my car stereo for decades.
An orgasm is just a reflex, like a sneeze, so since my wife is allergic to pine, I just rub a lot of sap on my junk! Works every time! [wink]
There’s a really gross joke in there somewhere, but again, I’ll leave it to the able bodied minds of my readers…
If my sneezes were anything like an orgasm, I’d welcome catching a cold.

Sap-related, from one of my favorite dirty comics on the Web: oglaf.com
Im’a just leave this here …

Ah, good old Oglaf… That is a really funny comic while at the same time being really… well, dirty. It brings good comedy to porn which I think has been a missing element from porn for some time.

I don’t know if a manual would have helped Byron! How many guys do you know who either read instructions, or, ask for directions?!?
I was a MONSTER Boston fan, from my Sr. year in HS in ’75 when I first heard a demo tape of about 6 songs that ended up on their 1st lp, that a local indy record store owner who was from Boston & knew Tom Scholz, had gotten somehow on one of his record-buying trips back there.
I told all of my friends at the time to keep their ears open for this band named Boston that would ” Be the next huge thing, you wait & see!” Lo & behold… They are the only band in almost 45 years of attending concerts, that I camped out overnight (one of the first 10 people in line) to get tickets for in the summer of ’78 on their Don’t Look Back tour. SO, the concert comes up, & I’d have to rank it as one of the worst shows by a big-name band that I ever saw. Boring & uninspired – they may as well have just played their 2 albums at the time thru a 40,000 watt sound system. They did not interact with & barely acknowledged the audience & basically stood on the stage & played their songs mostly obscured by dry-ice fog & subdued lighting. Their low-key & lackluster performance was compounded by the fact that they had the always super-high energy, consumate showman Sammy Hagar open, & he absolutely blew them off the stage.
Then, after having to wait 8 years for control-freak Tom Scholz to put out the 3rd album only to get an (I thought) uninspired & lackluster re-hashing of their first two albums, the constantly changing parade of band members in their line-up because of control-freak Tom Scholz, the melodrama of band misfortunes because of legal problems due to control-freak Tom Scholz (yes, they were sued by CBS for failure to produce albums within the contracted time), inter-band squabbling because of control-freak Tom Scholz, constant writing & recording of songs & entire albums only to have them scrapped by control-freak Tom Scholz… I finally lost all interest in Boston after Third Stage came out in ’86.
Unfortunately,a similar scenario seems to have played out with other favorite bands… Van Halen, G ‘n’ R, anyone?…
I saw Boston twice… oddly enough, in the late ’90s and not in the ’70s. You’re not the first person I’ve heard complain about Boston’s stage act in the ’70s. To be honest it wasn’t much more than that when I saw them. Essentially a Tom Scholz act with a backing band. He got so pissed at one point with his amp, he stormed off stage in the middle of “Don’t Look Back” and the band just continued to play. It was like listening to a rough mix of the song minus the lead guitars… was less than satisfying for sure.
So, as much as I love their music, and even their later stuff (Walk On is actually a good song and an okay album), Scholz surely ruined a majority of their success by being such a dick. Hard to say how I’d be in his place though… more of a prick according to my family.
😛
Gotta do something extra on stage, or why should fans shell out more money than they paid for the albums to see you live?
It’s one of the many reasons I love the Who — their banter between songs is tremendous fun (check out the YouTube clip of Pete Townsend explaining “A Quick One” sometime) and their energy and enthusiasm performing the music is legendary.
Finally! A woman that gives you a manual on what she likes.
No more beating around the bush when it comes to Lorraine. 😉
Yes, but would we men actually read it or just jump in and try to figure out as we do with TV remotes?
😛
This give a whole new meaning to RTFM, you know 🙂
Not to mention Mr Murphy’s “beating around the bush” – and I’m sure there are more accidental-or-maybe-not double entendres in these comments…
You got the “Bush” part. 😉
But you missed the “Comes to Lorraine”. 😛
I’d just jump in. Unless the manual has pictures. 😀
Glad you’re back dude! Although i cant seem to find the comic that outlined why you’d stop nor can i find the comic that detailed your return. Congratulations for getting through everything though
This comic, titled “Goodbye Stranger, ” is where I tell my tale of woes and end the comic for a while:

This one recaps some good news:

But if you start at the “Goodbye STranger” comic and click “next” until you get here, there’s a few things I did here and there, plus a great 12-part 12-Days of Christmas paroday too.
And, I’m glad to be back. 😛
Welcome Back Byron! Woot times 714!!!
I probably should ask what the “714” means someday… I figured it was your birthday or something similar. You don’t have to share if you don’t want to, but come on…
😛
And I’m glad as hell to be back! 😛
I can’t help wondering how many of those methods Lorraine’s had used on her.
Took me long enough to start commenting again, didn’t it? Glad to see the comic up and running again.
I’ll take your comments any time… no rush, man. The comic just started back up and I haven’t even started really promoting it yet.
And I’m glad to be back! 😛
