If I wore pants I would probably occasionally apply this methodology.

Being a blues player do you hear the subtle sophistication of Robert Johnson's rhythm?

Weirdly, no.

It's only in my capacity as as a macarena dancer that I here the subtle sophistication of Robert Johnson's rhythm.

Too easy: The Vermont Vizios and their star guard Curd Shmelking.

Great answers!

But the correct ones are:

Rochester Zeniths and Cheese Johnson

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynbert_Johnson

But if it is any consolation, Noel "Little Curd" Johnson is a 6'6" swingman for the Auburn Tigers!

Did you ever read my book "Portnoy's Complaint?"

Did it make you as miserable reading it as I was when I wrote it?

I read the part where the young man was flogging the dolphin in the bathroom while imagining his sister's bra was "LENORE LAPIDUS'S ACTUAL TITS!" while his mother was shouting at him through the door that she knows he must have been eating french fries at the "chazerai palace" if he had so much gastric distress. I read it several times.

Not sure. But it made be as miserable as Paul Simon usually is. Actually, at the age I read it it made me happy because of the dirty parts.

I think so. Thanks for asking!

Oh...you want me to name one. Hmmmm

Paul Simon has been well off financially since Sounds of Silence became a hit in 1965. I can name a song written by a "poor Paul Simon" was Hey Schoolgirl, which he recorded with Artie under the name "Tom and Jerry" while they were in high school. (It isn't a very good song either)

I was in a bar last night and saw on a TV there that there were two baseball teams playing that I'd never heard of -- the Marlins and the Mets. How long have these teams been around, and what wvwr happened to the Indians and the Tigers? Were those teams not good enough?

The Marlins and the Mets are very new and carnivorous baseball teams. They ate the Indians and Tigers. The Mets and Marlins have been around forever, but only joined MLB during what is known as "modern times"

I believe that every state should have the right to appoint it's own appropriate rodent. Also, I have mixed feelings about reinstating the rodent draft.


thanks for asking!!
