A PowerPoint is the Toast of the New Millenium


In the what-are-you-listening-to department, I've been working for hours on my sister's birthday party slide show, and these are the songs open for consideration-

Steve Miller- Jungle Love
Eddie Money- Two Tickets to Paradise
Kansas- Carry On Wayward Son
Monkees- Pleasant Valley Sunday
Journey- Anyway You Want It
Sweet- Fox on the Run
Earth Wind & Fire- Boogie Wonderland
Boston- More Than a Feeling
BTO- Takin' Care of Business
Carpenters- Close to You
ZZ Top- La Grange
The Byrds- Turn Turn Turn
Foreigner- Cold as Ice
Fleetwood Mac- You Make Lovin' Fun
Queen- We Will Rock You

Ok, figure out the three songs that made the cut, and then seek counseling. Anticipating no winners, I offer no prizes. The keg is still going, though, so there's that.

Don't know your sister well enough to have an informed opinion. But if it were me choosing from that list, I'd go with Miller, Money and Earth Wind and Fire!

How does the keg thing work? Where do you get it filled? How long do you keep it? Is there a limit? Is there a deposit for the barrel? Where is it kept in your home? Bedroom?

I tried to get it placed in front of the toilet but was vetoed. It now sits in that small room behind the kitchen on your way down to the beer pong table. You keep it until you finish it, and it works by pulling the handle- these are the kinds of questions a man who needs to get off the wagon asks. You have spittle on the side of your mouth. Bev and Mo has small kegs of Green Flash, Racer 5, Drake's, etc. Bring back an empty, and they'll give you a fully.

Journey rules.

Wow. Bevmo. What a friggin concept. How much did the keg fridge cost, if you don't mind me asking? Are you free next w/e?

is that said ironically or by someone who lived through it the first time around and actually liked them then?

I'm going to speak for him and suggest that the Giants World Series victory colors the way everyone in the Bay Area feels about Journey. Before this year, they're up there with the Starship as the worst cultural product we have shat out. Now, we embrace Steve Perry like a high school girlfriend, and we're ready to take him out to a nice dinner and fuck him lovingly.

Such are the weak ass standards stood up against victory.

And don't forget the scene on the fairway with Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. That was BETTER than the last scene of The Soprano's!
