Miami VICE Principal
Is my new skit idea for our ill-fated Howard County Public Access show. Clealy involves Don Johnson as a wise cracking, stubbled, High School Vice Principal. He's always busting kids with substandard moustaches dealing drugs in the bathroom. My Uncle Juan will definately be the principal, forever slamming his desk and complaining "How my s'posta splain dees to dee supereentendont!" My favorite episode is when Don Johnson has to fill in for the drivers ed teacher and teaches drivers ed in his Ferrari.
I think reading this at 2:30 or 3 (combined with reading the review) will substitute for reading the book:http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/05/books_bookworld030105.htm
Ted Leo: Sharkbite Sessions. In a constant quest to release a studio version of everything we have ever heard him play in concert Ted puts out this iTunes only EP featuring full band versions of "Six Months in a Leaky Boat," "Loyal to my Sorrowful Country," and "Suspect Device." "Sorrowful Country" comes out the best. There seems to be some power and emotion there, like he has some kind of message. "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" comes out sounding like it should, pretty much the same way as it sounded in December (why does that seem so long ago....oh my god......3 months have gone by). "Suspect Device" is missing something. It seems slower and more articulate, less buzzing and slurring. Not too good.

Infrequency and Indie Punching. Not Professionalism.

I have nothing to say to this, except that I thought Miami Vice was overrated. I know its style and music and production etc. changed the face of television forever and stuff, I guess, but the last time a new episode aired I was what, 8? I'd like to see more, now that I might appreciate it and not get it confused with "Hammer" and sometimes even "Airwolf".
I'd like to think Miami Vice's real legacy was its subsequent spinoff, Miami Vice Principal, which made a star of Juan "Casey's godfather" LuchaLibre, and eventually matched its progenitor, much like Frasier eventually was as good as Cheers, or at least had a Dave Grohl/Nirvana relationship. Everything comes full circle. I didn't have a VP, I had an Assistant Headmaster, but "toolbox" and "moustache police" were in his job description, as well.
Have fun hanging out with Bob Woodward. What's the over/under on how many questions about Deep Throat he'll ignore?
Can't say I've ever seen a full episode of Miami Vice. Not as big of a fan as Bill Simmons. I know enough about it from some kind of kids PBS parody......I can't remember the context (animated or not, part of 321 Contact?, no idea). More interested in A Team.
Bob Woodward?!?!? I thought Robert Redford would be playing Bob Woodward. Damn it.
Doves review: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/d/doves/some-cities.shtml
It's nice our interweb's working for the moment. No, Bob Woodward will be played by Carl Bernstein, in Frankenstein's Dracula.
Doves album sounds like I'll like it a lot. What's their deal with cover art? That looks like something from Tony Montana's foyer. The reviewer claims there's hints of Motown. Hints?? B+W town is a Heatwave cover, for god's sake, and is miles away from Joe Jackson's steppin' out (Note, which was used in a 3-2-1 Contact crayon-making sequence... full circle).
Let's move here.
New jorb?
Go for it. Just send some Simmons articles in as your samples. Or I'll write some "redskins suck" pieces which you can edit and submit.
I'd expect more people read Express than the actual Post. Plus you might meet Stupitron 3000 or at least 8 year old Tom Boswell. I'll craft you a fedora with "PRESS" index card tonight.
azlo, my car insurance is fully paid until the end of April, sweet.
Funny on the "obvious" level akin to jokes about Women shopping, men and powertools and Pope's hangin out with "those dogs" in the woods.....http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61778-2005Feb28.html
I do like that a paper of record is willing to publish sarcasm. Very difficult to convey in print, even when the satire is obvious. See NY Post, etc. for the bluntness usually required. Not that Farhi's piece is fantastic and subtle, but you know what I mean.
Tucker Carlson, fun guy? He describes reading Fear and Loathing (sans Mike Noonan) at age 12, and coming across the "supplies" HST had collected for his trip:
"I resolved to try it all, down to the ether, which I finally located midway through tenth grade in a headshop on the West Side of Manhattan. (It gave me double vision and a headache.) Tracking down and taking everything on Thompson's list became a kind of mission, a pharmacological scavenger hunt that preoccupied me through high school.
"At this point, I should add the customary disclaimer about how drugs are bad, a lie and a trap and a destroyer of lives. That's all true, but not in my case. For me, the whole experience was interesting and fun. I had a great time."
This is bat country, man.
A traditional Norfolk koan may assist:
You can pretend
A man with a wooden leg sits down to read a book.
The book is not about men, or wooden legs, or sitting down.
Not all books are.
Some books are about women, fleshy legs, or gymnastics.
But not all books are.
This one isn't.
This book is about rocket science.
It has big friendly writing and lots of pictures.
And there is an interactive section.
You can pretend that you are an American,
And you can shoot laser-guided rockets
At unprotected Third World civilians,
In the war on terror.
It is good to interact.

I will get that job, and I will one-up the recently departed Carlson by wearing both a straight and bow tie. It will be spine-crushingly trend-setting.
KC, mind doing KCooks tonight or tomorry? Court's probably coming down for supper on Thursday, and she doesn't like steak, and you don't like making food for her.
I will also one-up traditional Norfolk koan by saying: odd.
I think DJ GoodNews just spammed our blog.
Wow, that's a fantastic sentence.
I'll probably cook tomorry. Tucker Carlson seems to be a little too calculated in his HST emulation to be cool. Nancy Reagan will tell you drugs aren't that cool, making a list of drugs to do.....even less cool.
I can't figure out the more appropriate fringe culture quote to respond to Goodnews with..."This is NOT awesome" or "Weirded Out?!?!" DJ Goodnews is a perfect characterization behind whatever character posted that. I think because of the general oddity factor, it counts as my members only jacket for the day.
I am going to try my hardest to dream an episode of Miami VICE Pricipal tonight. There are many other nuances that I have thought up throughout the day. Example: In a sweeps week rating ploy, Johnny Depp's character from 21 Jump Street will go undercover at the school. I can't wait.
Did you know this?
From IMDB:
Biography for
Rae Dawn Chong
Daughter of Tommy Chong and Maxine Sneed.
I did not, was I sheltered?
Chong is his real name? That's more surprising. Why are you looking up Rae Dawn, anyway? I feel kinda bad for her, she barely outshines the kind of people requesting their own videos on VH1 classic.
If there were a movie about Commie Russians winning the cold war and hilarious recreational drug use, would it be called Red Dawn Chong?
Miami VICE Principal is getting better and better. I hear Justine Bateman will guest as a Teen She-wolf. Patrick Wolf will be the musical guest-star, playing songs from "Lycanthropy" in the Vice Paddy, local teen hangout and #1 Restaurant. Uncle Juan shows up in a guyabera and tries to dance.
I was randomly checking out the Commando listing on imdb and checked out RDC.
I was also thinking that Saved by the Bell cast members could regularly appear on Miami Vice Principal as the troubled youth. Screech with a crappy moustache selling drugs, Mario Lopez using steriods. This would have helped them shed their squeeky clean image. This will be a fun discussion tonight. Some RedHook may await you......
