The MP3 of the week I've put up this week is from a live recording made last week at a local pub I perform at frequently with my good friend Steve Didemus. http://www.ghastly.keenspace.com/mp3.html Anyways I thought Melissa, our resident Russian expert could give it a listen to and tell me if I actually ever sing anything in Russian during the song. The song is titled Joseph Stalin, You Big Fat Bastard. This song will give you a bit of an idea what my life shows are like. Crackers (Pulling lyrics out of my ass from hell!!!)

The song is titled Joseph Stalin, You Big Fat Bastard. "Your dry cleaning will be ready at 3." "Potstickers take ten minutes." "You want to biggie size that?" Actually no real Russian, but you came oh so close to saying "sh*t" (which is "govno") I laughed! Of course, I'm the one who can't recognize the Russian in "Dissidents" as real Russian (which it is) so I kinda suck. :-) My office admin assistant is this pretty vacant and horribly gullible young Russian guy named Yuriy. He insists we all call him George. George has been in the 'States for about 6 years (several of them in violation of his student visa, I do believe, so I expect that George will be sent packing in coming months by the all new Homeland Security-overseen INS.) George's grandfather was Stalin's tailor. It has been observed that George doesn't like anyone mentioning the fact that his grandfather may have come into contact with Stalin's testicles in the course of his work. He also doesn't like it when people extrapolate and suggest that his grandfather may have fondled (in a professional manner) Beria or Molotov, too. I have not suggested any of this myself (I keep myself occupied with George's massive gullibility factor, teaching him about American legends like Johnny Snappleseed, who headed west, with plentiful appleseed in his pack, to work the railroads with Chinese guest workers, finally blending their old world tea with fresh fruity flavors to soothe America's parched palate...) - -- Melissa R.

It was a very silly interview, done in soft focus, with lots of flowers (very Barbara Walters pre-Oscars-style) and frou-frou furniture. After a string of goofy music-related questions, the woman interviewing Boy George leans over and asks, in her soft, quiet voice, says, "Boy, have you ever been eye-to-eye with a bearded clam?" And Boy pauses, looking puzzled, saying (in that inimitable Boy George breathy voice), "Bearded clam? Bearded clam? What's that?" And then his nose wrinkles and his eyes get huge and he says, "Oooooh, you mean fuh-JI-nuh!" I think you really had to see it to totally appreciate it. It was his delivery of that last line that made me laugh so hard. I think I'm going to have a bowl of Froot Loops, watch Changing Rooms, and then clean my apartment.

I just bought the DVD of that a little while ago as well as the DVD for the original Rollerball (which is so different from the remake I don't even think they should be allowed to share the same name). Two of my favorite Pre-Star Wars sci-fi movies. "Plankton, sea greens, protien from the sea, fresh as harvest day." There's a remake of Logan's Run in the works. I hope they don't screw it up as much as they screwed up Rollerball or I'll be really pissed. Crackers (I got to see Jennifer Agutter's boobies from hell!!!)

Strangely, I was going to comment on that in my previous post, but deleted it. That's one of the reasons I remember her name. That was the first set of boobs I saw on screen. And I remember being very embarrassed (I was in grade school, after all!) If you haven't seen the movie "Free Enterprise" (with Eric McCormack from "Will and Grace") you MUST go run and rent it!! The Logan's Run and Star Wars references are hilarious, along with the references to just about every sci-fi movie a typical 30-something geeky person (me majorly included) has ever seen. And, god help us, William Shatner's in it. Run, runner! - - Melissa - -- Melissa R. Jordan Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

I've been pretty scatterbrained lately myself, as we're just coming out of birthday season.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I had a few migraines when I was much younger, and they were utterly miserable. Too bad you're going to miss him in Chicago, too. Looks like you've got bad AB tour luck. Brigid and I are going to have to take public transit out to where he's going to be, since Kevin won't get home from work in time to get us there. I really wish they'd picked a more centrally located Barnes & Noble to have the event at, as the one they picked is out in the boonies, relatively speaking. So, are you going to Chicago for business or pleasure? And aren't I being nosy today? ;) Robyn M @ Robyn Moore @ http://www.wiccans.net/robyn.html @ You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. - S.C. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2002 21:32:18 -0700 From: Robyn Moore Subject: Re: Alloy: Re: alloy-digest V7 #113 At 05:54 AM 16/06/2002, you appeared to say: >It was a very silly interview, done in soft focus, with lots of flowers (very >Barbara Walters pre-Oscars-style) and frou-frou furniture.
