It's All About Me, Man

I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Patti LaBelle

Patti LaBelle obviously hasn't been paying attention for the last six years. What you are supposed to do is whine that "this is a hard job," but then turn around and boast that this is the best show you've ever seen, and you are lucky to be there, and you must be some kind of deviant if you don't think so.

90% of the audience will agree with you at first. by the end, only a third will, but what do you care you got your money.

Singer Patti LaBelle weeps on stage
Associated Press
 
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. - Rhythm-and-blues diva Patti LaBelle struggled through a weekend show after taking the stage at midnight, at one point sitting down and crying.
 
"I've never been this embarrassed in my life," LaBelle told the crowd Saturday at the Riviera Beach Jazz and Blues Festival. "This sucks. It's the worst show I've ever done in my life."
 
As temperatures dipped into the low 50s, LaBelle explained that she's nearly 62 and has diabetes and a heart murmur, and the cold weather simply wasn't agreeing with her.
 
The Grammy-winning singer tried to belt out a few notes, then told fans huddled under blankets that she understood if they walked out on her.
 
A steady stream of people left the show during her 45 minutes on stage after having waited hours through opening acts.
 
"I've never ever given you less than I can give. I'm gonna give you everything you deserve," she said.
 
LaBelle struggled through "Lady Marmalade" with assistance from a few in the crowd, sang some gospel songs and "On My Own" before retreating.

[CanYoAssDigIt] The Stranger's Spectacularly Bad Taste (and Timing)

In last week's issue of The Stranger (a free Seattle rag) still
available for pick up around town, they ran one of their "NEW
COLUMN(s)" - a "Kaption Kontest! Below is a cartoon by Danny Hellmann,
which is in need of a caption. Have a look, consult your brain, and
send your..."

The cartoon depicted a man holding a handgun, spattered with blood,
with the bloody corpses of his victims in the living room that
provides the background.

I would have included the cartoon (which I would snag off their
website) but they already took it down:

"We're Sorry!
The page you're looking for does not seem to exist.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, we've been doing some shuffling
around here and the page you're looking for seems to have gone
missing. Please use the search field below to find what you're looking
for."

If you don't live in Seattle, you may not know the inescapable story
all week is that last Saturday night a man opened fire on party goers
in a living room in a house in Capitol Hill, massacring several
people.

The cartoon was in astonishingly bad taste on its own, in the next
context it was thrust into, it was completely beyond...

I don't have anything against bad taste, I'm a user and dealer myself.
I don't understand why hipsters adore the Stranger and revile me, but
what can you do?

The editors of The Stranger demonstrated that they don't even have the
courage of their own (sick) convictions by taking the picture down. I
suppose they've even cancelled the contest. It's a shame, the caption
I came up with for it was a killer.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [MIDIChat] Scary Theme

sorry, didn't scare me as much as  4 more years of republicans - now that scares the shit out of me.  I can only hope that voters just say no to Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Bob McCain, Condolleezza Rice, and any other right wing thug or pirate that's thinking about running. And the Supreme Court and the people that make the voting machines let us have the person we vote for.

BTW, was it this list where I said that there was something wrong with anybody who didn't think they could do a better job than the current regime in dealing with disasters, and there was a massive response from people eager to say that they indeed are less competent (and who wanted me to lie and say the same thing about myself)?

Well, it it was - how do you feel about it now?  Do you still want people to think you are so stupid and incompetent?
