This is why The Diamond One is the Man!

All retired people do is worry about outliving their money and their health problems.

Not so sure about that. My parents and their friends are having a grand old time - happy hour and dinner with friends probably 5 nights out of every 7. Going to Europe again this summer. It looks pretty OK to me.

You fuckers sound like a bunch of quitters that never quite learned the art of 'crafting your buzz'.

Crafting... that's for lazy hippies and wimpy basket-weavers...

We paved super-highways, built skyscrapers, erected and scaled Mt Rushmore sized monuments with our buzzes... Go big, or go home, boy...

I believe "crafting your buzz" is a Dave-ism. Hippy that he was.

I think Ed, Dave and Al are still hippies at heart... and the dudes are old now lol

It's not even the visual so much as the potential smell....

Ah. So if he washes thoroughly first, you won't mind, then?

Hey, all that talent's got to fit somewhere.

Jon Oliva gets a free pass - on EVERYTHING.

Can you name me ONE other person that can write about a melancholic song about a grinning monkey in New York? No, you can't. The concept is just way too fucking ridiculous to be anything other than a vaudevillian comedy. Yet he did it.

Of course, there's also the small fact that he was almost single-handedly keeping not one, but two bands afloat with his amazing songwriting, but that's just peanuts compared to the monkey business.

I am committing the sin of quoting myself because I forgot two facts about Jon. The first being that, while keeping two bands afloat with his amazing songwriting, he also helped his former lead singer, Zakk Wylde, with his own solo albums, proving that the "you can not be in two bands at once" mantra is complete bullshit & the second is that he was, at one point, a drinking buddy of our own Philouze.

Top that.

Anyone? Any takers? Eddie? No? Ok, then.

Cheers!

Even Charlie Hustle slowed down a bit. Gettin' old is for the birds.

Shoulda said what I meant, which was Pete Rose was never considered the most talented, but he got the most outta what he had. That made people love him or hate him.

Ummm... NO. Pete Rose has always been a nasty, worthless piece of dogshit, and will forever remain one. Yeah, Charley Hustle, my ass.

Look a bit outside the field, friend. This fag destroyed the career of Ray Fosse during an All Star Game (ramming the guy at home plate), bet on his own team, then showed up on the HSN hocking his own memorabilia the night his court case was airing on the (then) Court TV channel.

Fuck him and the horse he rode in on...

Easy, I'm a Met fan. He nailed Bud Harrelson. But I was only talkin about gettin the most outta what he had. Not all the other stuff. But didn't he only bet on his team to win? heh.
