Ask the prime questions first

It is not produced in a way that I would call "mass". Satellite dish would have been a good one. It's completely off track. "Satellite" was the first noun, "north" was the second noun, and the third noun can be found by following the hound Less than Zero. Look at the cl...

I knew that would get you moving...

"bike" rhymes with "like". I like bikes.

Not the White Sox or Red Sox, and it's bigger than a breadbox.

Scary Hitler-Bush comparison, eh what? They say you can't believe anything you read on the net. Of course, that's exactly what you'd expect "them" to say...

Mid-Parker

I'd say Burning Questions is fairly typical of the slightly over-produced stuff he was doing mid-career, like The Real McCaw.

I like Burning Questions, and I would really like to restock my GP collection with CDs instead of these old tapes. Did you buy it used? Which tracks do you like?

Chemistry

I don't know, Pov, maybe crack? One thing I got from this was the situational truth of what Elvis is doing right now. He's got a kick-ass band to tour with, and a thirty year catalogue from which to forge a playlist. He's storming the world, and the world is now getting a new appreciation of him and...

Go

Very doubtful that it would be blue, Pop, but I suppose that would be possible. Just check in once in a while to see if you can help read my thought transmissions. It's so very important.

Oil, are you seeing any Chuck Conners?

It's all relative...

No matter what you think of She, you must agree that it was pivotal to the movie Notting Hill. Without Elvis lulling me into a passive state of acceptance, I would have never been able to suffer the film in it's entirety.

Elvis on Letterman

If you saw Elvis on Letterman with an all-girl orchestra singing She, you wouldn't think it was "shite".

I was fortunate enough to get it on tape. I don't think CBS has or will repeat the episode. It's too good for TV, anyway. Poisoner: sorry I missed it.

August lull

There is more on my mind than just Dionne Warwick. There is a vision of a certain cause, a goal for which you might casually clamour. If you follow the clues, and ask the correct questions, you will undoubtedly read my mind eventually, as it's clear as day. It works everytime. Then we party. As a si...

Whatever your heritage, you have not "spoilt" the game. The noun is fixed, but if one must query "forth" upon its alphabetic structure, I will simply ignore the question, or worse, I will lie. The noun is fixed. Read my mind. O, do not ask, "What is it?" Let us go, and ...

Mankind's way of "tagging" the Earth.

Borglum was sixty when he first started chopping away at this. http://www.geocities.com/aropeleash/rushmore3.jpg It's pretty damn cool. Not a bad defacement of a mountain, if I do say so.
