IMHO – Guns ‘N Roses, Ozzy Ossbourn, Van Halen and Def Leppard were not hair bands.
For one thing … each of those groups had distinctive sounds. This would automatically kick them out of the “Hairband” category. With the exception of GnR these bands all had an individually distinctive look … a “no no” in the Hair band world.
“Glam” lay bleeding in a dirty alley until it was discovered by an evil (redundant?) music industry marketing type who had stumbled back there to dispose of a dead hooker and do some coke off her cold body. He then merged “glam” with metal and the unholy union brought forth the “product” we now know as the 80′s hair band.
Ryah thanks so much for your donation to Hugh’s run!!!!
Evo and Ryah together met our donation goal.. LOL.. we just picked the default goal :)
Actually we have raised almost $2000 from family and friends, plus Hugh’s co-workers are pooling money and CBOT is going to match all donations we get!
I know j0e sent something in too so thank you to him too
No spoilers yet on Galactica! The wife and I went out last night and we’ve got the kids party to prepare for today. Of course, after having to wait pretty much a year for the new season, what’s a few more days.
Man, who knew a question about “Cherry Pie” could launch a raging alphabet game? Good thing I didn’t do my Friday GJB guess or I’d be as screwed as last week :)
So get this, my wife’s friend who got her the job as a bail bondsman, she just got another job that she might possible be able to bring my wife into again… REPOMAN.
I have to say, I feel kind of guilty pretty much telling Dubshack to give up the farpoint recap to work on his book. Then again, it was so great to hear him again on wingin it…
I just want Dub to be happy with his work and himself.
Hugh Hefner is well past the age that Viagra would ever help him. I don’t think knows he has girlfriends. Besides those are just three chicks they hire to be on a reality show.
Well actually every man is different and some men can keep going well into their 90s. Viagra is just the little boost some men need.
Also i tend to think its his money and his fame and the opportunities he can offer a girl that bring him girlfriends, not his prowess.
A: I’ve been known to frequent this establishment on a regular basis. I know a few of the regulars. Now what is a handsome gentlemen such as yourself doing talking to lonely women at bars on Saturday night?
H: Well I had been watching the NCAA games in one of the rooms down that weird corridor, I came looking for a refill and you caught my eye. I don’t make a habit out of picking up lonely women at bars.
Yes, we currently have Dr Who episode and the confidential traveling to us at the amazing speed of about 15kb per second… yeesh. C’mon intronet tubes!
I didn’t like Catherine Tate in beginning of the xmas ep before last season, but she grew on me by the end. Hugh is going to miss Martha Jones :) He was sweet on her.
Hugh sez: I was sweet on her backside
lol :) But we do still have the Torchwoods to watch with her
Hugh sez: we still have this seasons xmas ep to watch
we sure do. Shit- tv backlog still plaques us.
Hugh sez: we are almost done with Stargate finally though
3 more episodes! Then Torchwood, and we still haven’t made it through the last season of Weeds, but we are almost done with that
Hugh sez: and we haven’t watched any of the new shows yet… Reaper, supernatural, that one with the geek squad guy, and all the Showtime shows… Brotherhood, Tudors, L Word
Fuck. We suck. But at least we have a fancy new tv to watch it all on now! :)
Hugh sez: porn looks great in HD
and on that note. Its Smarty Hotties yoga/tai chi time
I saw it… and i’m still not sure about it… Is the Catherine Tate thing a setup for some oncoming greatness… or has the ghost of bonnie langford risen from the grave?
So – I should say happy (belated) birthday to our Deadpan Ambassador, Amy Bowen. And also to Paul (formerly) from Des Moines, who listens, but may not actually lurk on the comments page.
Welcome to the last Monday, April 7, 2008 of your life.
Well, our kid managed to convince us she should get a snake. I think our biggest worry is that, with three cats in the house, she’s going to end up with a dead snake at some point. (we’re talking little corn snake, not big boa)
Hmmm… I didn’t know that Chris Broderick joined Megadeth. It’s been 14 years since I bought my last Megadeth album, this may soon change. Also, looks like Jeff Loomis’ long rumored solo album will be coming out in the fall. wOOt!
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I dunno why she swallowed that fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly -

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird;
How absurd, to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.

There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.
Imagine that, she swallowed a cat.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird …
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly

There was an old lady who swallowed a dog.

Just opened her throat and swallowed a goat!

She’s dead, of course.
Well if there is enough mass in the universe to make it collapse and if time starts to run backwards as the collapse begins..then today won’t be the last Monday of your life.
Carrot Top? So he could supply the ca.. um, nevermind.
Nope, no shredding, just trying to commit all the notes on the fretboard to memory. I do pretty good with the first four frets, but I want to know it completely. That was the note pattern for the E strings, high and low. Four strings to go. :)
Is anyone looking for a brilliant employee who’s not afraid of working her ass off? My company has turned into an evil corporation. I’m pretty much over it.
Nothing glamourous about Motorhead..but the lead singer had long hair.
Thought the hair was a joke on how heavy metal/rock bands looked..lol
IMHO – Guns ‘N Roses, Ozzy Ossbourn, Van Halen and Def Leppard were not hair bands.
For one thing … each of those groups had distinctive sounds. This would automatically kick them out of the “Hairband” category. With the exception of GnR these bands all had an individually distinctive look … a “no no” in the Hair band world.
Heavy metal rockers had long hair … hair bands had BIG hair. tended to be VERY blow-dried and probably permed.
Right, I was under the impression punk had killed of glam rock in the 70′s.
Time to have a sip of cocoa.
H – Helmit or Helix
I – Can’t think of any, Iron Maiden is NWOBHM
J – Jet Boy
K – Killer Dwarfs
It only mortally wounded it.
“Glam” lay bleeding in a dirty alley until it was discovered by an evil (redundant?) music industry marketing type who had stumbled back there to dispose of a dead hooker and do some coke off her cold body. He then merged “glam” with metal and the unholy union brought forth the “product” we now know as the 80′s hair band.
L – Lizzy Bordon
K – Krokus (ick)
M- Motley Crue
I want to say Metalica … but the turned out to really have something to say behind all that hair so … maybe not?
This obviously all passed me by in the 80′s, any non US hair bands?
N – Night Ranger – maybe. Not sure if they were in the glam scene.
Krokus, LOL So you’re not a Midnight Maniac JOe?
ewwww
Wrathchild or WASP for W?
Oh gawd, World Aquatic Security Patrol is what I think of when WASP is mentioned.
That’s funny. Whenever I think of WASP I think of flame throwing cod pieces.
I’m racking my brain for O, I don’t think there were any glam/hair metal bands that started with O.
P – Pretty Maids
Q – Quiet Riot
R – Ratt, duh
S – Stryper
Stryper
jinx
Krokus. Wow, that takes me back to the old tiny b&w TV in my room, growing up.
O is for. . . .
Ozzy Osbourne.
SNAP!!!
lol
Ozzy was/is NOT 80′s Hairband ! Foul! “Foul” I cry !!!
Ozzy is more NWBHM, although he toured with glam bands so that’s debatible.
Winger – w ???
Whitesnake?
V- Vixxen
T – Trixie
Whitesnake tried to rise above “Hairband ” status but I don’t think they did really.
So I would include them.
Tesla -T
Twisted Sister for T
Ozzy – guilt by association ?
S -Scotch (not a hair band but I am going to go find some anyway)
Were they any beginning with x, y or z?
Twisted Sister – definately more hair than Tesla.
there or they
fooking grammar
U ? – Anyone? The only band I could think of was Uriah Heap, but they aren’t hair.
V -Vixen
W – WASP, Warrent, White Snake, White Lion
X – Xtreme? LOL
Y – Y&T
Z – Zebra
Right it’s over you can all come out now.
Time for the commute. Happy Friday everyone!
2am Saturday morning here, night pan.
found the Scotch BTW.
“Ballantines” is my favorite if any of you are doing any gift shopping :)
Ryah thanks so much for your donation to Hugh’s run!!!!
Evo and Ryah together met our donation goal.. LOL.. we just picked the default goal :)
Actually we have raised almost $2000 from family and friends, plus Hugh’s co-workers are pooling money and CBOT is going to match all donations we get!
I know j0e sent something in too so thank you to him too
We appreciate it so much
thank you
ok sorry for the interuption
I guess we were not interrupting any conversation, no one is here :)
So we finally joined the 21st century
we got rid of our tv and entertainment center and now we have one of them cool flat screen thingys :)
Hugh sez: just in time for the final four
oh yeah “just in time”, woo-fucking-hoo
So we might try and play by play tomorrow night after the games
Hugh sez; we are having a see the final four/give me your money you promised me for my run party tomorrow night
:)
our friends love us ;)
alrighty pan

Hugh sez: and then… what do you want to do tonight babe?
I dunno…
Hugh sez: lets go to that fancy new martini bar we saw on Clybourn
ooo.. yeah!

Hugh sez: thanks

For DPers who live outside of the USA, the first S4 episode of Battlestar Galactica can be got from:

The new season of Dr Who starts tonight…
No spoilers yet on Galactica! The wife and I went out last night and we’ve got the kids party to prepare for today. Of course, after having to wait pretty much a year for the new season, what’s a few more days.
Man, who knew a question about “Cherry Pie” could launch a raging alphabet game? Good thing I didn’t do my Friday GJB guess or I’d be as screwed as last week :)
Yeah, Deadpan is back on. Couldn’t get to the site after I posted last.
One of these things is not like the other….

So get this, my wife’s friend who got her the job as a bail bondsman, she just got another job that she might possible be able to bring my wife into again… REPOMAN.
Tell her not to open the boot then.
Dub – the life of a Repoman is ALWAYS intense.
She sounds hard as nails though
yah dub
I have to say, I feel kind of guilty pretty much telling Dubshack to give up the farpoint recap to work on his book. Then again, it was so great to hear him again on wingin it…
I just want Dub to be happy with his work and himself.
It’s good to have you back!
Today show was damn funny.
H: Well hello there
A: Hi
H: May I ask you a personal question?
A: I don’t even know your name, I’m not sure I want to get personal with you yet
H: So if I told you my name, I could get personal with you?
A: maybe…
H: Well lets give it a try. My name is Hugh, and yours is?
A. Hugh. As in Hefner?
H: Yeah, like Hefner but without the need for viagra
A: Well Hugh without the need for viagra, my name is Andrea
H: ahhh. what a beautiful name for such a beautiful woman
A: *swoon* Well thank you
H: Your welcome. Now that we know each other, can I ask you that personal question?
A: I guess I could let you do that
H: You can huh?
A: yes
(why does wordpress only tell me to slow down and not you?)
Hugh Hefner is well past the age that Viagra would ever help him. I don’t think knows he has girlfriends. Besides those are just three chicks they hire to be on a reality show.
H: I am honored, Andrea. So what I wanted to ask you was: Why is a beautiful woman like yourself sitting in this bar all alone on a Saturday night?
Well actually every man is different and some men can keep going well into their 90s. Viagra is just the little boost some men need.
Also i tend to think its his money and his fame and the opportunities he can offer a girl that bring him girlfriends, not his prowess.
A: I’ve hung out at this bar a lot, I don’t mind sitting here by myself. Besides I am talking to a very nice gentlemen at the moment.
H: So you come here often?
A: I’ve been known to frequent this establishment on a regular basis. I know a few of the regulars. Now what is a handsome gentlemen such as yourself doing talking to lonely women at bars on Saturday night?
H: Well I had been watching the NCAA games in one of the rooms down that weird corridor, I came looking for a refill and you caught my eye. I don’t make a habit out of picking up lonely women at bars.
A: oh, so you’re picking me up?
H: Yes I am. Is that ok with you?
A: I think it is ok with me
H: cool. So can we skip the rest of this game and just go find an empty room back there and let me fuck your brains out?
A: Yes!
H: Cool. Mind if we go into that room back there with the chains and handcuffs?
A: Not at all! Lets go!
H: w00t!
Bye, Bye Mr Heston:

Didn’t agree with a lot of his political views, but some of his movies like Ben Hur and Planet of the Apes are my favs.
If you live outside the UK and interesed in Doctor Who, you can download the first episode in the new series from:

Watched it last night, still not sure about Catherine Tate.
Any medication that lists sudden death as one of it’s possible sideeffects should make you wary about using it.

w00t! there we go.. we’re up to 25kb now!
Well according to the film trailer, Rose and Martha will be in the new series of Dr Who at some point.
I saw it… and i’m still not sure about it… Is the Catherine Tate thing a setup for some oncoming greatness… or has the ghost of bonnie langford risen from the grave?
I hope not, the mere thought it could be that bad fills me with horror.
Well that’s the melodrama out of my system..
Welcome to the last Sunday of your life.
How will the world end? in fire or ice?
Any explanation of your last statement Dub would be appreciated.
So I guess I can go pry Mr. Heston’s gun from his cold, dead fingers now?
My dear wife does not post enough, I guess, as she is in mod.
Sometimes we say things just because they need to be said. ;)
It’s funny. I hear so many people say platitudes are for people who are full of shit… And they’re probably right… But isn’t *that* a platitude?
Some people see dark clouds on the horizon and say “It’s going to rain.” I see dark clouds on the horizon and say “I’m going to live.”
I see dark clouds on the horizon and say “Good, I can get away without running my sprinkler system this week.”
Yeah I admit I say that too…
That’s funny, I thought a platitude was a beaver looking creature with the like a duck and loves to make speeches
When I see dark clouds on the horizon I wonder if I have enough windshield washer fluid
Nothing kills an open air market quicker than gale force winds and torrential rain.
Welcome to the last Monday of your life.
You know what kind of day it is when a co-worker just arrives and asks, “Hey boss, can I take a 10?”
Morning Pan!
Beautiful sunny day here!
cynful: Sounds like Burger King to me.
Mmmmm, burgers…..

2 + 6 = 8
OK, now to get caught up. Morning pan.
Oops, I missed comment #268.
So – I should say happy (belated) birthday to our Deadpan Ambassador, Amy Bowen. And also to Paul (formerly) from Des Moines, who listens, but may not actually lurk on the comments page.
Welcome to the last Monday, April 7, 2008 of your life.
Jack gets it
mmmm… Shrimp stir fry = good lunch.
Happy B. Day Amy and Paul!
Well, our kid managed to convince us she should get a snake. I think our biggest worry is that, with three cats in the house, she’s going to end up with a dead snake at some point. (we’re talking little corn snake, not big boa)
My husband was really hoping, as we got older, we would have fewer pets in the house, but, given our daughter, we both somehow doubt it.
TEB, maybe you should get a pet gator to defend the snake from the cats.
Who will defend us from the gater?
An escaped snake might make our cats hiss-terical
do impotent snakes has a reptile dysfunction?
Hmmm… I didn’t know that Chris Broderick joined Megadeth. It’s been 14 years since I bought my last Megadeth album, this may soon change. Also, looks like Jeff Loomis’ long rumored solo album will be coming out in the fall. wOOt!
Happy bday to the DP ambassador, and Paul formorly from Des Moines.
Last monday already? I thought I had another month on my prepay account.
I think we have most of Megadeth’s CD’s as well as a couple of their DVDs
If you got a wall of snakes, then would your cats be able to scale it?
Ha, ha!
Jack, if we had a wall of snakes, I think both the cats and myself might slowly back away and leave the house.
If you put both the snakes and the cat on a plane, would Samuel Jackson be there saying MOTHERFUCKIN’ SNAKES AND CATS ON MY PLANE!!!! ?
Oh yeah, happy birthdays Amy and Paul! :)

I could but I’m sure my co-workers would look at me funny. ;)
All this talk of pets reminds me of that song:
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse -
She’s dead, of course.
I hear that Carrot Top might also be at Lollapalooza.
Rhett, are you shedding scales on the board here?
Well if there is enough mass in the universe to make it collapse and if time starts to run backwards as the collapse begins..then today won’t be the last Monday of your life.
You will see it again on the rebound.
