That's awesome. I love that song, and the lyrics kind of told a similar story. I will buy this soon.

I'm about to start Mark Evans' "Dirty Deeds: My Life Inside/Outside of AC/DC" and imagining the race to the finish line for who would get to use "Dirty Deeds" in the title for their memoirs.

Is that a typo on the Sugarman book or a twisted porno knockoff title?


I just finished Steve Ignorant's autobiography "The Rest is Propaganda." It was a fun, quick read. Those Cr@ss dudes were way more irreverant than I would have thought.

I have that Mark Evans book. Maybe I'll start it next instead of Pynchon's Mason & Dixon that a friend has named for her new book club. I'm not so sure I can handle that one anyway. Shit written in dialect is either awesome or cloying. I'm not sure which way this one will lean.

If you can get into his groove for about 10 pages or so, Mason & Dixon moves quickly. I love it. Reminds me a lot of Baron Munchuasen.

Alright. Based on that, I'll give it a real shot. Though, I didn't really like Baron Munchuasen when I saw it many, many years back.

If you don't like Munchausen or Time Bandits or anything remotely resembling "literate anglo humor" I'd skip this one.

I definitely dig "literate anglo humor," but sometimes when it dips too far into the absurd it loses me. Still, I'll give this a go.

Perusing the latest BUDK catalog, I noticed they have introduced "Santa's Picks" tags to help me narrow down my search for the "perfect gift:"

This is perfect for everyone on my list! How did they know? With today's busy lifestyle, it's nice to know BUDK is looking out for me.

Good news, Stew, the Russian gas masks are in! This will be the best Xmas ever.

Just finished the 4th book from A Song of Fire and Ice (A Feast For Crows).

Working on The Last Barbarians and the Quran. I might start a book called The Serbs soon. I had to put down Soren Kierkegaard's Works of Love. It's not that I don't enjoy philosophy. The way he writes just bores the piss out of me. I'll probably try to finish something else I put down. Also from time to time I pick up The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales.

The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins. It's very dry. You know how those (we) atheists are. He lays out the evidence for evolution meticulously, giving creationists no leg to stand on. Not that any creationist would read this work.[/i]

they never disappoint, and i am grateful that teens/20-somethings think i am a 20-something who got into metal a few years ago. makes me look like much less of a loser.
