lord custos tribute thread

now i'm imagining hezbollah recording an album full of international smash hits, netting them millions -- it would be like that movie about the internet murderer where every website hit injects more poison into his victim or whatever -- "please, america!! stop listening to this infectious music! every CD you buy endangers the lives of us all!" -- until the govt. realize they can stop this insane money mill by encouraging rampant piracy

shawty kama sutra

I just got a subpeona from the law firm of Dewey, Cheatom and Howe. Apparently I'm being sued for defamation of character. Apparently the plaintiff insists that he is NOT J Lo's personal fuck toy. Osama is Richard Gere's personal fuck toy. Well, I stand corrected. Sorry for the confusion. Now...back to the thread already in progress...

In a land where Geir is King...

But can a courageous boy and his primate pal save the hope of the world before darkness envelops the land forever?

this could probably just as easily be ilx in 2003 tribute thread

that's awful. I don't remember writing it either, must have blocked it out.

There are approx. 1000 memorable rules, requests and commandments in popular music. Let us count them.

Custos's last ever ILx thread: ScottPl's 1978-1982? Tell us about it.

More recently than I would have guessed

"Crazy Frog" - An Exercise in Applied Probability

Love everything up through The Globe, but am thinking they should now change their moniker to Big Audio Mistake.

-- Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, April 4, 2003 8:10 PM

SEARCH: "The Bottom Line," "E=MC2", "Medicine Show," "Contact," "Rush" "The Globe."

DESTROY: "C'mon Every Beatbox," "Just Play Music", their silly hats circa #10 UPPING STREET, the title of that album, their annoyingly cumbersome habit of changing their name (first Big Audio Dynamite, then Big Audio Dynamite II and the simply Big Audio) and everything they did after 1991. Everything after THE GLOBE was a....wait for it....Big Audio Mistake!

-- Alex in NYC, Tuesday, May 7, 2002 12:00 AM

Capable of great singles - "The Bottom Line," "Medicine Show," "E= MC2," "Contact," "Rush," "The Globe,"....but will forever live in the shadow of The Clash.

"C'mon Every Beatbox" was crap tho'.

Also, changing their name from Big Audio Dynamite to Big Audio Dynamite Two to simply Big Audio was a....

big audio mistake isn't even like a pun or play on words or anything

anyway...

this:

If I'm in a car going 60 mph in Crazy Frog's direction and you're Crazy Frog on a motorcycle going 75 mph in my direction, how long until one of us inadvertently starts harboring real feelings and what is the magnitude of our heartbreak and subsequent distrust for the opposite sex?

Please answer in the form of a question.

Make A Band Name More Reasonable

http://books.google.com/books?id=duQvAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA125&lpg=RA1-PA125

both 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' have been overused incorrectly by ninnies for so long that it means absolutely nothing
Sometimes, I wish I carried a solid iron cricket bat with several huge rusty spikes jutting from it. And anytime some wingnut used "Liberal" as a noun, I could cluestick them upside their pointy little head.
"It's not a Noun, Fucknugget! 'Liberal' is (THWACK!) a mutha- (THWACK!) fuckin' (THWACK!) descriptor (THWACK!) it modifies a (THWACK!) Noun. A person (THWACK!) can't be a 'Liberal' (THWACK!) or a 'Conservative' for the same (THWACK!) goddamned (THWACK!) reason (THWACK!) they (THWACK!) can't (THWACK!) be a
'Begrudginly'!"
So, to recap: both 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' have been overused incorrectly by ninnies for so long that it means absolutely nothing.
Political debates might as well be a bunch of fat white guys complaining about opressive unicorns and bleeding hearted hobbits.

for whatever it's worth, you can't say the guy was lazy.

it reads like bloom county which kind of depresses me

I thought of Custos when you linked to this on that other thread.

bloom county is totally the ur-text for custosism

Gary Old Man

I heard a rumor that the only reason HRC wanted the job in the first place was because WJC left a suitcase like that one in Pulp Fiction in a secret under-the-floor compartment in the Lincoln bedroom, and whoever owns this suitcase/jewelled sceptre/magic shillelagh has the power to rule the world and shit like that so the VP slot is worthless to her because she wouldn't be able to get into the bedroom, so now Chelsea has to begin the long ascent to the presidency just for that one climactic scene where she pries the floorboards open

and stuff

yes yes the whole reason Bush II has been unable to govern competently over the past eight years is that the faint sound of Freddie's beating flute heart has driven him insane

i keep thinking of this, and the murder/tortue scenes, and the old europe vs new america, the old america that isnt even really on the map...and also about things like the cia black sites being where this film was supposed to talk place in, and the aestheicazation of tortue, adn escape into the rule of law...adn i want to make those connections, but im not sure its fair?
