Orson, I’ve had a Steely Dan problem going on 20 years now. Please stop and get help! Sure, it seems fun now, but in no time you will be a full blown addict, unable to stomach anything else. Then, you’ll realize the only way to really hear Steely Dan as it was meant is to listen to the vinyl copies. This means ridiculously expensive turntable, pre-amps, power amps, speakers made from wood that can only be found in the southeastern corner of Fiji, etc… So just forget about Steely Dan for your own good. May I suggest The Eagles or maybe Billy Joel? Both fine choices with very little chance of permanent damage. Good luck and God speed!

Steely Dan(s) and Bunda (coordinators). The synchronicity of blog threads can stretch your mind (or insert your own ephemism). Must be Friday!

I for one Orson dedicate myself to increasing your hit numbers in ‘08…

but it would help if you brought in a “bunda coordinator” and quit trying to handle all the jobs by yourself

Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS in Airport Speak) have a lot of Texas-themed items like that. In the table area near the Salt Lick Restaurant, the dress that Anjelica Huston wore in Lonesome Dove is displayed.

Steely Dan has evolved from a first-rate studio outfit in the 70’s to a first-rate touring band these days. I’ve seen them twice is the last six years and some of the best jazz sidemen in the world play these shows.

If you like your cultural and literary references obscure, they’re the best.

Steely Dan? Really?

Is it their dark, sarcastic lyrics?

Steely Dan is awesome. Glad to see some people supporting.

Man, I always get bummed hearing about Earl and his health problems. Despite being a Buckeye/Browns fan he was my favorite player growing up, best highlight reel runs of any running back (OK, Payton and Sanders and he are tied. But not Emmit Smith. Fuck him and his straight ahead running behind dominant Cowboy O-lines that’d have made people like Earl break every rushing record ever invented…oops, I digress). Earl is just a decent, humble man too. Just not fair.

While, yes, the data provided is a bit old, the assessment that Mississippi State University is comprised of some of America’s fattest young men and women is not too far off from reality.
And, as a Mississippian, I’m quite thankful. That’s the school that is supposed to be training my fair state’s future farmers and animal husbands[sic]. If they can’t get themselves heftily full, how in the hell do I expect them to feed me?

I would be envious of Michigan’s blogging traffic but for the ignominy of their head coach being called “dickrod” and the subsequent hair-fire that is sure to ensue with the glorious change of coaching regime and culture. Just kiddin’…couldn’t care less…really…but it was fun to write anyway. And how often as a drive-by blog-commenter do you get to use the words “dickrod” and “ignominy” in a sentence? I mean…what an opportunity!
