Today we have a new 8 1/2 by Eleven and yeah, I think Leyla is wearing a bra outside her shirt too.
A little more about Barry White
A lot of people don’t realize Barry White was a songwriter, gifted at playing numerous instruments, and a composer, most just remember his sultry voice; but prior to his solo stuff, he sang backup, and had to be convinced to take lead. Also, many of you might not know that Barry composed this song, Love’s Theme, under the psuedonym, Love Unlimited Orchestra, but like Nine Inch Nails, it was basically all Barry, who created, composed, and recorded the song. One of the only instrumentals to hit the number one spot on Billboard Hot 100, and being 1973-74, predates disco a few years, but highly influenced the sound. Some of you might also might remember (if you are old enough) this was theme music to ABC Sports live golf coverage in the late 70’s and early 80’s (don’t know why).
The Spirit of Massachusetts
So, I was watching Family Guy last night on [adult swim] when this little side vingnette came on:
Of course growing up in MA, I immediately remembered this:
Which is the audiod rom the 80’s commercial, but not the video, couldn’t find the video. The is why Family Guy is funnier if you live in New England. Seth McFarlane does all sort of inside MA/RI jokes you would only get if you grew or live here.
Interesting
Kimbo vs. Ken Shamrock, interesting fight . . . a must win for both . . Is Kimbo ready to take on a good submission guy? Does Ken still have it? We all know Ken take a beating . .
The DNC
It was good to see Ted, he looks better health wise than he has in a few years.

God bless Family Guy!
I heard Batman lives in a triple-decker in Fitchburg now, and Robin got a sex-change and is on the Lithuanian women’s wrestling team.
I heard Batman cry for mercy in my bed last night. I saw Robin undress for success.
Batman and Barry White have been an item for quite a while now.
Family Guy inside references? Damn. I like that show, but I live in Manchester, England.
I bawed my eyes out when Uncle Teddy took to the stage last night. Just so much history there. I am really having electiona anxiety. I want this over soon!
Family Guy kicks ass.
I don’t have to have a conversation with CockMaster because all we need to do is exchange FG’s lines.
Angry: I think the GOD is a Family Guy fan
Colonel: Why Fitchurg?
Murk: Nice fantasy there
Chris Wood: Welcome to DMDSS, I am gonna have to check out your blog
MI: Ted rocks, met him once or twice. Also do favors for Barney Franks Office.
Rag: Whose Peter?
