EDSBS LIVE: THE PREP EDITION

by Orson on Jan 13, 2008 4:52 PM EST

...as in we're prepping a proper end-of-the-year edition, and will not be having a show tonight. There's plenty else you could do tonight--like catch up on your environmentalist Aussie rock videos from the late eighties, for example.

As someone who lived in Florida, we admire the Aussie developers' discretion in leaving a strip of trees between the beach and the resort hotels. Also, note that if you see Peter Garrett walking down your street and dancing spastically, someone is about to bulldoze your house and and abuse your land like a rapacious evil capitalist.

Hopefully, I’ll be celebrating a Cowboys win. :) Orson, I’m sorry we weren’t able to meet up Monday.

They played in the Bandshell in… 93? 94?… in support of Earth and Sun and Moon. I loved ‘em but couldn’t convince anyone to walk with me from Gatorwood. So I sat on the porch and could just about make out the bass and drums.

Gatorwood’s gone… the Bandshell too, I assume.

So it goes.

Agreed Paragon….I always wondered if Garrett was the brother of Sloth from Goonies.

“rapacious evil capitalist”

What would Florida be without “voracious opportunistic free marketers”?

Should the north American continent be a national park for the Puritans?

Stick to football, politics would be a death knell to this board.

Is it me or does Owen Schmitt look like a young Peter Garrett? And the Oil’s big hit, “Beds are Burning” does sound sort of West Virginia-ist.

Garrett is the Bizarro Lex Luther.

And I don’t really appreciate the shots of old men in Speedos. An extra, earlier-in-the-week helping of cheesecake is in order to cleanse my soul.

[FULMER CUP ALERT!!]
News out of Knoxville reports that two Vols receivers, Gerald Jones and Ahmad Paige, have been arrested on simple position of the wacky weed. Vol DT William Brimfield was also in the vehicle when the trio were pulled over, however he was not arrested. No links availible at this time.

Score:
Tennessee – 2 or 3 (I think Brimfield should also incur a point for ridin’ dirty anyway, even though he wasn’t arrested.)
All Y’all – Zero
