Month: September 2003

As an aid to readers who may not be fluent in Indonesian, here’s what they like to talk about when visiting KUR (in case you hadn’t guessed already).

Nothing’s worse than a suicide chump.

Gail Zappa sure is one busy lady.

Movie title screen pages, and nothing but movie title screen pages. I even found the title screen page for It Conquered The World! (via J-Walk)

When the zappa.com forums go down, here’s what happens.

Hey, the Hungarians are talking about me in erh… Hungarian. Which means I have no idea what they’re on about. My breath? My pumpkins? My Abba collection? (Actually I do know, sort of, but I’ll save that for later!…)

How do you get your child actively involved in Homeland Security? Get ’em started early.

…and if we can’t offer any aural delight, we just point you to a place that can: “American Composer”, the radio documentary produced by Steve Rowland and Gail Zappa which is only available as streaming audio at zappa.com, is available as .mp3 right here.

Roitters.- 26 Sept 2003
Dramatic scenes happened this morning at KUR office, when a bunch of hardcore boots consumers plunged into Gilles’s container in desperate search of their usual friday boot, to scarcely find 3 and a half broken .wavs by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, and a couple of little shouts Michael Jackson recorded in ’78 and ’81, respectively. The maximmum CEO of the institution, Barry, is showing clear symptoms of the “Rejecting His Own Face” syndrome by wearing a pair of groucho-glasses. “Although some friends started to help, all my kopecks went to my landlady, the merciless Cruella De Bandwidth”, said Barry. “Couldn’t feed the container this week…”
Observers said there’s still hope for next month. Time will tell…

“I’d rather have her at home than seven feet under ground. Lucy had a great sense of humor and I’m sure she would appreciate being my coffee table.”

Guess I should have added another voting option to the recent “why are you here?” poll. Namely: this one. To the 13 girls that want to have my child: I’m flattered but taken!

There’s something about the Japanese, but I can’t quite put my hand on it…

Michael Moore: How to Deal with the Lies and the Lying Liars When They Lie about “Bowling for Columbine”. Quote: “I suppose the people who tell their make-believe stories about me and my work will continue to do so. Maybe they should be sued for knowingly libeling me. Or maybe I’ll just keep laughing – laughing all the way to the end of the Bush Administration — scheduled, I believe, for sometime in November of next year.”

38. Lead guitarists. Girls have THINGS for bassists, THINGS for drummers. But do you know anyone with a THING for lead guitarists? No. Too often, they cross the line between cocky and desperate. —The Unsexy Top Fifty

“This year, our new creation is called ‘Big Leg Emma’; named after a song from Frank Zappa’s Absolutely Free album,” explained Dario Pegoretti in his stand at the Milan bike show. “I think all the emphasis on lightness these days is kind of silly, so I wanted to build a strong bike.” And Big Leg Emma certainly is.
