Has it ever occurred to anyone that Westerberg was talking about his abilities to pick up chicks in “If Only You Were Lonely”? After all, he ALWAYS writes about video games, and he ALWAYS writes about masturbating (God knows), and he ALWAYS refers to his guitar playing in songs, so I realize its a tough call. Especially because he NEVER talks about CHICKS in songs.

16 down - The best thing that never happened.

so, like, i really enjoy “the big lebowski”, right? who doesn’t? these things are awesome! they are apparently being unveiled at the upcoming lebowski fest in ye olde london towne.

what’s all this, then? why the lebowski (s)talk? i’m just wondering if we (or some other sufficiently nerdy contingent) could/would put together a “westfest” or “matsfest”. hear me out.

i am loathe to admit that i like rush. most of you know that already. i have never gone, mind you, but rush has a yearly thing called “rushcon” or some damn thing. additionally, rush has these:

BANG YOUR HEAD!!!!

(i am looking at my own versions of these right now - deduct cool points accordingly)

i look at it thusly: if rush can have a yearly “convention” and bobble heads, why not the replacements? if a movie (albeit, a good movie) can have a successful yearly get together & action figures, why not the replacements?

i call bullshit on the notion that it wouldn’t work for a band like the replacements. i just don’t want anything to do with the planning. oh, and please make sure the first “con” happens in mpls so i don’t have to travel.

get to it.

p.s. i just had delicious jimmy john’s for lunch, and goddamn they are freaky fast.

p.s.s. voila! content!
