We Got the Bids

Hot, über butch Go-Go's drummer Gina Shock is selling a bunch of her old t-shirts and memoribilia , including an old drum kit, on Ebay.

Most interesting auction fact? The auctions are all based out of Chula Vista. Bitch MUST be broke!

Kidding, I love Giner. Someone buy me one of those vintage Go-Gos/Flock of Seagulls double bill t-shirts for Christmas.

Mediocre Uprising

My buddy Trevor in New York City is pissed about the election. Big shock, we all are. But, he's really angry, talking about protesting, etc. I agree, but my take is slightly different.

By electing Bush, our country is telling us something. They loves them some mediocrity. They love C-level achievement. They love getting just enough of the job done so no boats are rocked.

Let's all strive to do the same in our lives, at home and at work.

• Do enough to not get fired, but not enough to excel.

• Get in at 9:02 a.m. and leave at 4:50 p.m. Take a 90 minute lunch.

• Vaccuum only the high traffic areas of your carpet.

• Make your bed only when you suspect having a trick later.

• When asked to print out a document for a boss, print it out, but don't collate the pages. He didn't ask you to do that.

• Once you acheive orgasm, roll over and go to sleep. We live in a post 9/11 world and we are our only priority now.

Leave your own Mediocre Uprising ideas in the comments section below. It's fun when it's fun!

When in doubt, go for a Moz quote

Oh, mother
I can feel
The soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well, enough said.

I know it's over
Still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over...over

Hi, kids! Enjoy your draft! Feel proud that gays can't marry as you sit in your wheelchair rubbing lotion into your stumps.

P.S. Dan finally snapped around 3:30 AM PST, I hear.

EDIT/ADDENDUM: I have to admit, since Bush won the popular vote, this defeat is a little easier to take. But golly, it shore am do suckage, hyuck (that's Cleveland talk, in case anyone from Ohio is having trouble understanding simple English).

It all comes back to Cleveland, doesn't it?

It ain't over 'til it's over, people.

Most interesting thing about all this - watching Dan Rather slowly unravel as the night progresses. My favorite Rather quote thus far - "This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex."

No wait, it was "I wouldn't ask you to do this anymore than to walk thru a furnace in a gasoline suit, but can you call this state yet?"

What's the frequency, Crazy Bitch?

60 Second Review - SNL 10/30

Beginning a new feature here on JIAM - 60 Second Review, where I set my stopwatch to 60 seconds and review a TV show, movie or album in the time allotted. If I finish, I finish. If not, I stop anyway. You get a capsule review and I get back to work. Well, in theory. Let's go.

60 Second Review starts...NOW.

Okay, the Gay Frankenstein sketch was the best, cuz it had Fred, of course. Eminem sucks, nice teleprompter reading on the floor there, dude. He's slowly becoming Fred Durst. Weekend Update is improving. Amy had the second best sketch of the night with her hyper Kaitlin character

TIME.
