I've never seen Barry Lyndon, but I remember well the Mad Magazine parody "Borey Lyndon".  I've always imagined that movie to be insomnia-inducing so I've never seen it.

I call this trend "The Whorification of America."

Your news letter is one I would like to subscribe to. I work in media and I HATE, HATE, HATE the downslide that's occurred in just the last 5 years alone. I feel sullied just by being in this line of work. Is there some type of work or career that doesn't reduce one to becoming a whore for the lowest common…

I prefer the Nashville Cats—although they play clean as country water, they also play wild as mountain dew.

I'll be in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura!

I know from personal experience that her father is a crazy burn-out. I could tell you some stories! So maybe she comes by it naturally.

Mackenzie Phillips has a bit part in that movie. She plays one of the title character's strung-out friends.

The sandwich is calling from INSIDE the house!

It's got to be John Oates! It gots to be!!

I think the recent Random Roles with William Sanderson has got to be up in the top 5, along with this one.

Step right up…Come on in…

Jordy Verrill's momma didn't raise no ijits!

Right now, my nomination for the Funkiest song of all time is "Fire" by the Ohio Players. There are so many great ones that I might have a different favorite for every week of the year.

Some of the above posters have mentioned that they like this column, but don't know much about classic country music. May I suggest tuning in to Classic Country with Charlie V on WSGE-FM. It's a college station based in Dallas, NC. The program airs from 1:00-2:00pm ET on Wednesdays. You can listen online at WSGE.or…

You're going to look funny trying to eat corn on the cob with no FUCKIN TEETH!

Hello Dali—I saw Horn in the West many times, as I went to college in that area and had several friends who worked in the production.

"History of mental illness in the family? Don't get me started!"

I didn't realize how it was tied into the whole Avery thing. That makes it even funnier.
