Yeah, even though the original POTD at RS.com had to fit into a little box on the main page, I'm not limited like that. Hell, I don't even have the option to make this a blurb somewhere (and don't really want to -- I'd feel a lot more pressure to actually do this on a daily/weekly basis if it was always popping up to remind me).
The criteria for POTD is, um, well, it's a post that I think is funny, or touching, or really insightful, or for some other reason am really fond of. Can't tell you what makes a POTD, but I know it when I see it. Sort of like pornography. ;D

I know exactly what you mean, Ken. I just ruined Mary's post.

There, there. The post is fine. It's just your monitor screen / keyboard you ruined...

How come this post was never given POTD recognition? The QUESTION SHOULD BE--if you were a musician would you rather be in the CLASH or Led Zeppelin.....The answer is not so simple. This is obviously because I'm not a musician and could care less about cred as such, but I'd much rather be in Led Zeppelin. I'd be hung like a horse and have ridiculous technical proficiency in whatever instrument I played. I'd put animals in women's vaginas. I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams. I'd write lyrics about orcs and dragons. I'd play with P Diddy on the MTV Music Awards. The only drawback would be that I'd have to play shitty music for a couple hours a night. But then I'd just go back to my room, put on London Calling, and show my giant wang to groupies. |

At the risk of giving her an even greater opinion of herself ... Mary once again takes POTD honors. How can you pass up the following: Mary, you really need to string together a bunch of these anecdotes and pitch them to a screenwriter ... Coming this spring to a theater near you, "Cheers, M" ... you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scratch your head trying to figure out the philosophical references. Oscar material for sure. ;D Random 10 episodes from Cheers, M: 1) Mary nearly dies trying to remove batteries from a smoke detector 2) Mary nearly dies when her office chair collapses 3) Mary nearly dies when her own professor almost runs her over in a crosswalk 4) Mary nearly dies attempting to do a cartwheel in a bathroom while extremely stoned from The Most Evil Pot Brownie in History(really) 5) Mary nearly dies trying to replace the shower curtain when she falls backwards into the tub - completely sober, thank you very much 6) Mary nearly dies trying to sled down a snowy hill in a cafeteria tray 7) Mary nearly dies when a braid is ripped out of her scalp at a NIN concert 8) Mary nearly dies when a flying skateboard smashes her in the head 9) Mary nearly dies when her experiment in snowboarding with no prior experience or practice turns into an experiment in rolling down an entire mountain 10) Mary nearly dies attempting to replace a lightbulb standing on a folding chair which decides to realize its essence by, well, folding Cheers, MPrize? Isn't just being alive its own reward at this point? |

Well, today Mary has lost her iron grip on the POTD, as Luke grabs the brass ring: I have a lot of appreciation for music before I was born, but I really never have the desire to listen to much rock music before the Talking Heads or so. If I'm gonna listen to some old fart make music about a time I never knew, it's gonna be Sinatra or Coltrane or Ella Fitzgerald or Merle Haggard or Marvin Gaye. But yeah, I can see how someone who associate's the Beatles with smoking weed in someone's basement and getting blow jobs from tripped out girls with hairy armpits in flower dresses is gonna have more desire to have that nostalgia come flooding back to them than someone who associates them with car commercials and old ranting fogies who used to listen to them while smoking weed in someone's basement and getting blow jobs from tripped out girls with hairy armpits in flower dresses. That (of course) was in the What Are You Listening to Now board. As for a prize, I'm all out of hippie chicks with hairy armpits right now, but Rocky will have some weed for you if you're ever in Chicago.  |

Hey, that's not cool to just go around offering my weed to people.
I'd share with Luke, though.
