[bicentennial_baby]

6. oh my....

[Ron Mexico]

7. If this thread was designed to get a reaction, here it is...

...that is the worst fucking song I can think of. We used to use it as a drinking game in college, playing the song over and over on a looped tape. If you wanted to get out of the room, you had to finish a twelve-pack. Last poor sap in the room paid for the beer. People would break each other's drinking records to get out of that room and stop hearing that wretched song.

The song made me puke, literally, more than once - but any amount of discomfort or illness was worth it to escape the sounds of that song.

8. Anyone who dislikes this fabulous tune

is obviously a FReeper.


:hi:

[Ron Mexico]

9. Good Lord...

...THIS is the song you want to make symbolic of DU?

Thanks for putting me off my lunch, BTW. :(

[Midlodemocrat]

10. You have to admit. It makes a great earworm!!!!

What were ya having for lunch, anyhow?

I think I am gonna go get sushi.

:hi:

[Ron Mexico]

11. We've got a deli that serves

breakfast 24/7, and I was going to have a western omelet. Now, maybe some toast and ginger ale, something possible to keep down. Being called a Freeper AND being told that this is a good song is more than my 42 year-old stomach can take.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. I just noticed your sig line.

Are you in VA by any chance?

[Ron Mexico]

13. I am, yes. Why, and how did you know? (n/t)

[Midlodemocrat]

14. I am, too.

and most folks who aren't don't know much about Michael Vick's asshole-ishness behavior.

[Ron Mexico]

16. I detest the guy, as if you couldn't tell.

I'm a Rams fan, so a healthy dislike for Falcons was developed over the years, but Vick sure makes it easy.

[kick-ass-bob]

17. As a Panthers fan,

I must concur.

:D

[Ron Mexico]

19. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." LOL!

Happy New Year, Friend! :)

[Midlodemocrat]

18. I couldn't believe how the press here just

kissed his ass like he was the second coming of Jesus. He is a major league creep, and so is his brother, Marcus.

[Ron Mexico]

20. God, don't remind me.

Have you also noticed that no press source in the area (to the best of my knowledge, anyway) has hit on the Ron Mexico story or his "don't criticize me" bullshit? I can go anywhere else and read all about it, but in Virginia he's protected like the fucking tobacco industry.

[kick-ass-bob]

21. there's a real Ron Mexico story?

Is there a link that you have?

[Midlodemocrat]

22. It is a helluva story.

Link from the smoking gun.

[kick-ass-bob]

23. holy crap!

:rofl:

Pro Bowl, my ass, too. 1 TD passing per game, 6 rushing TD's, his worst per carry average yet, QB rating lower than last year....

I need not go on.

[Ron Mexico]

25. More than a story, friend - a video game and name generator!

Check this out for your X-Box: http://www.msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/3832438?print=true

Generate your own lame alias like Vick did: http://gorillamask.net/ronmexico/ (mine is Robb Peru, what's yours?)

Just don't try to get an NFL jersey dedicated to RM, though: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7504682 (this link explains the story as a whole)

[kick-ass-bob]

26. So could you get Mexico on another team's #7 jersey?

:evilgrin:

[Ron Mexico]

27. I hadn't thought of that - I'll try it with the Rams and let you know! (nt

[Taverner]

15. If the world didn't need further proof

That Grace Slick was a sellout among sellouts...that brought new meanings to the word "whore"

[CanuckAmok]

24. I just heard Jefferson Airplane's old "Levi's" ad from 1970...

They were sell-outs even then.

BTW, it was possibly the worst, mot disjointed advertising jingle ever recorded.
