I’m still pretty devastated by the loss of the 21st century’s incarnation of Edgar R. Murrow. It’ll be all I can do to drag myself to work today. I think a national day of mourning (or at least a national morning of mourning) should be declared. But I’ll try to persevere. I need to get through this day since the season premiere of Weeds is on tonight. Sadly, I don’t know any Nancy Botwins these days, so I won’t be able to appropriate the necessary substances to properly appreciate the show. But, we all do what we can.
You think it’s hard for you to get through these post-Pumpkinhead days, PJ? Go over to Daily Kos for a minute. You’d think by the reactions there that the entire profession of journalism had died (and not years ago, like the rest of us already know).
The “Rude Pundit” is giving props to timmie the whore, saying he actually gave a shit!

We do live in a very narrow world- even apart from those we expect more from. :omg:
And on the Today Show this morning, they’re trotting out Timmuh’s son. Should be a real ratings grabber. I wonder if they’ll try and make him cry, the way they tried to make those kids that survived the tornado at the boy scout camp last week cry.
Well, it wasn’t a real zebra (or real zebra shit). In fact, I’m pretty sure that ‘boogie’ isn’t actually a word for ‘zebra shit.’
beemer re ALPHA :nod: 😉 .. :pup: A!I!V!
Hah, confirmation:
Jethro Tull July 23 1975 Maple Leaf Gardens $7.70 5 Okay, now it was just getting silly, and having Gary “Dream Weaver” Wright as the opener didn’t help. Two guys in a zebra suit came out, popped some balls of dung out of the zebra butt, and Ian Anderson juggled them. What?
FEBRUARY 2008, WAYNE CONFIRMS: “I too remember the night the zebra came out at the Jethro Tull show and Ian commented how Bowie and Elton were not quite sure of how to get their act together, but Jethro Tull had its shit together, and out dropped the tennis balls. Campy at its best, but the solo by Martin Barre to start the second half of the show was spectacular.”
And here.
At one point in the show, two band members garbed in a zebra costume appeared on stage and excreted striped rubber balls, which were in turn juggled by guitarist Jeffery Hammond-Hammond. Ian Anderson ‘ s analogy of this scene was that while Elton John had his funny glasses, Mic Jagger had funny lips, and David Bowie didn’t know which way to go, Tull had their shit together.
I guess they saved the ‘boogie’ schtick for Syracuse.
I guess the rude pundit would say that Ian Anderson, as well as timmie-the-whore, gives a shit.
So what IS the word for zebra shit? Just in case it comes up on Jeopardy tonight.
And does zebra shit have stripes? How cool would THAT be? 😀
:nana: nanner nanner nanner
Would you prefer to juggle fake zebra shit balls or the pure white dimpled-with-age balls that you can buy @ john mccain.com in the gift john mccain bag?
I did not get to go to “shows”/concerts very often since I was (am) always working…I no longer have the ticket stubs, nor remember the young man that took me (oh, new memory – I think from “school”), yet, I do remember the “stadium” was south-ish of Oakland, CA (I think the same one I saw the Warriors (?) in years later… and I was well on my way of being drunk :alc: and :bong: … I might be able to dig up more “memory” if I think about it — but enough time spent on that … back to Tull).
I remember “the scat” and knew it was part of the show .. funny and “shocking” ..T. Balls coming out of the Z.’s A. :rofl2: 😳 :omg: :rofl2: but I do remember seeing Ian and the guitarist being involved :omg: :rofl2:
As I recall, the zebra shit in question did, indeed, have stripes. However, in an effort to provide full disclosure, there was Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill involved (the concert wine of preference at the time, due to the fact that the bottle was nicely shaped to fit inconspicuously inside your jacket pocket), and maybe some Mad Dog 20/20, and perhaps a wee bit of the :bong: . That, coupled with the fact that it was over 30 years ago, means the details are somewhat fuzzy.
PJ :rofl2: “You are correct, sir” :rofl2: they were Z striped – :rofl2: they sure weren’t yellow. 😆 :rofl2:
You know, any week that starts out discussing zebra shit and chemicl inhancements has only up to go :doh: :40: :bong: :tongue: :billcat:
