Memory Lane

November 21st, 2002 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

At Zappa Forum people are posting a truckload of Zappa pics, some of which I hadn’t seen before. There’s for instance footage from the FZ/Lennon gig, and this peculiar FZ In Japan snapshot. (Note: I discovered this thread because some of the pics are linked from my image galleries!)

I must be a Libra

November 20th, 2002 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Do you believe in astrology? I simply adore astrology. Here’s an excerpt from my horoscope for 2003, which I found particularly inventive:
“On February 16, Jupiter opposes Neptune as it does again on June 3rd. Jupiter is largesse and thinking big. We might be tempted to spend too much this year, figuring we can always use that credit card (Neptune rules oil, which produces plastic….which make credit cards).”
Well that makes perfect sense, now doesn’t it?

Hear Hear

“In all of Bush’s 30 minutes of anti-Iraq war talk on Tuesday — pleasantly leavened with just two minutes of how "I hope this will not require military action" — there wasn’t a single reference to the fact that Iraq may hold oil reserves larger than those of Saudi Arabia, that American oil companies stand to gain billions of dollars in the event of a US invasion, that, once out of power, Bush and his friends could become multibillionaires on the spoils of this war. We must ignore all this before we go to war. We must forget.”

What the US president wants us to forget. (via attu)

Silly Walks Director: Hello, uh, Mrs. Twolumps, uhm, could we have two cups of coffee, please.
Mrs. Twolumps: Yes, Mr. Teabag.
Silly Walks Director: Mad as a hatter. You see, the Israelis they have a man who can take his own left leg off and swallow it with every alternate step, whereas the Japanese, cunning electronically obsessed little…

The Ministry Of Silly Walks is one of my favorite Monty Python sketches, along with, of course, the Dead Parrot Sketch. Have any favorites yourself? (More John Cleese talk here)
