Ugh, Hulk Hogan was banging his daughter’s best friend before the divorce. Pardon me whilst I force down the impending upchuck. (Evil Beet)

I will NOT stand by and let this site slander Journey. Goddammit, we should be GRATEFUL for all of the gifts they have given us. "Separate Ways" is only, like, the best music video EVER. Seriously. Youtube it. I'll wait.
Posted by: BarbadoSlim at February 28, 2008 3:51 PM
TK, I concur. If loving "Don't Stop Believin" is wrong...then the whole world is stupid.
Posted by: Julie at February 28, 2008 3:53 PM
Why would a love for Frasier have to be secret? That show was awesome. I watch the reruns constantly. The world would be a lesser place without David Hyde Pierce.
Posted by: Lannie at February 28, 2008 3:53 PM
Don't sweat it, TK. I also have a closeted love for Journey, which increased tenfold when "Don't Stop Believing" was used as the theme when the White Sox won the World Series. Now, their having a game is pretty stupid, I'll admit.
As for Cracked, I would definitely read My Older Brother the Tranny. But the second page was gross even for my tastes.
The Rock is mmm mmm good. His movies might suck, but I would love to watch him benchpress...something.
Posted by: Brie at February 28, 2008 3:54 PM
TK, YouTube no worky at work. Prolly for the best, though. Steve Perry looks a little like the bastard love child of a monkey and an elf.
WAIT, DON'T HIT ME!! I love Journey! Their music, anyway. The videos you can keep.
The Rock is mmm mmm good. His movies might suck, but I would love to watch him benchpress...something.
You? That's why god invented mirrors, Brie. :)

It should be noted that, while Litely normally writes Pajiba Love in its entirety, it was I who slipped in the link to The Rock entry on WIMB. I apologize for giving the false impression that Stacey enjoyed the ample, hard muscles of The Rock, the winning smile, and the charming personality. Clearly, that's not her type.
Journey? Really? Remember the Frasier episode where he really needs to breach professional confidence on a patient to stop a friend from dating her and Niles helps him come up with "a danger to herself and others as evidenced by the fact that she likes pink zinfandel"? My version of that is if Mr. PaddyDog and I ever need to divorce, I can get full custody of the puppies by showing the clear evidence of his mental instability as evidenced by his inexplicable love of Journey.
Posted by: PaddyDog at February 28, 2008 4:31 PM
That $138 a month per family figure is ridiculous. If you took every household in America then divided that number into the cost of the war in Iraq, then yes, you'd get about $138 per household per month. But every household doesn't pay an equal tax burden. The top one percent pays almost 40 percent of the taxes in this country. The top 25 percent pay something like 85 percent. And, of course, the poorest households pay nothing in federal taxes. So the war in Iraq probably costs the AVERAGE family something like $25 a month--or way less taco dip than you previously thought.
Posted by: SB at February 28, 2008 4:32 PM
I never thought to ask: Julie, is this 7-Layer Dip we're talking about, or something equally delicious?
Posted by: Kolby at February 28, 2008 4:39 PM
Oh, crap. Stacey's has gone schizo. Somebody get the wooden spoon and the electrodes.
Posted by: Vermillion at February 28, 2008 4:42 PM
TK--I was the girl in that video one year for Halloween. (Fine, no one else got it, but my boyfriend did). Finest video EVER.
...and I will always love Journey. And Steve Perry, even though he's now a Filipino guy, apparently.
Posted by: em at February 28, 2008 4:50 PM
damn, SB. i like my iraq war stats as biased against bush as possible. quit raining on my parade.
additionally, $25 per month is like half of my taco dip budget so...still unacceptable.
Posted by: Arr Matey at February 28, 2008 4:51 PM
Kolby, my taco dipliciousness is as follows:
-Mix together 16oz of sour cream and 1 packet of taco seasoning and layer in the pan.
-Strain (as to not make the dip runny) 1 jar of salsa and add to dish.
-Add chopped onion.
-Then chopped fresh tomatoes if you are so inclined.
-Then chopped iceberg lettuce.
-Then an entire bag (or two if your friends are cheeseholes) of shredded sharp cheddar.
-Have orgy.
Posted by: Julie at February 28, 2008 4:52 PM
Julie, might I trouble you to add some guacamole to that recipe somewhere? Cuz I can fuck up some guacamole.
I used to play that Journey videogame at Astroworld during summer vacations in junior/senior high.
Damn you, Steve Perry, for thinking you could do it all on your own! And I still submit that Raised on Radio is a great fucking CD. It's the first CD I ever owned (got it and a CD player for my birthday in, what, '87?)
Posted by: JH at February 28, 2008 4:57 PM
TK, you can throw that shit on top of the salsa. Yum. I love a nice guac.
...that sounds like a racial slur.
Posted by: Julie at February 28, 2008 4:59 PM
...that sounds like a racial slur.
Posted by: Julie at February 28, 2008 4:59 PM
Slap a "Bigot Dip" label on it and set up a booth outside one of those Blue Collar comedy shows.
Please, no orgy over there, though. I fear you'd catch something.
Can I just say that seeing Perez's science-project-gone-wrong face on the side of the screen is giving me nightmares?
Anyone else?
I love WIMB, but still hide that monstrosity.
Posted by: Melody at February 28, 2008 5:10 PM
....aaaaand we have an orgy here too! Oh Julie, you said "cheesehole"...*giggle* Yes I can find ANY word dirty.
TK I'd like to see you fuck some guacamole.
Posted by: joker at February 28, 2008 5:22 PM
TK--Some day love WILL find you and break those chains that bind you.
mmmm...The Rock. (sorry, there are no sexy guys named Dwayne. Ever.) He'd be the perfect man if he weren't (as my mother would say) a damn republican.
Posted by: wsapnin at February 28, 2008 5:24 PM
Wait, the Rock's a Republican?
Fuck!
You know what? I don't even care. Now that I have sex and mirrors running around in my head, (Thanks, Julie) I can overlook that.
By the way, that recipe sounds yummy. But I don't think onions would be a good idea; it IS an orgy after all.
Posted by: Brie at February 28, 2008 5:33 PM
Yes, I knew about the Journey video game. But I'm older than many of you and likely a bigger video game nerd than all of you. That arcade game actually had a contemporary that was also called Journey, but that one was along the lines of Zaxxon/Gradius. It always disappointed me on that old game show that had contestants competing at random arcade games when it would be the rock band Journey game and not the spaceship one.
Posted by: Darth Corleone at February 28, 2008 5:55 PM
Joker, I said fuck up some guacamole. Not have intercourse with it... just, you know, rough it up a little, make it my bitch.
TK I know what you said. I also know what I said and I'm sticking to it. You can make it your bitch and rough it up all you want, I'm sure it will just make it all the hotter to watch.
Posted by: joker at February 28, 2008 6:14 PM
I not only knew about the Journey game, I OWNED the Atari version of it.
Well I didn't really own it because I was like 2 when it came out but my brother did and when he got tired of his Atari I got it and his games.
I think I might still have it.
You haven't lived until you've heard "Don't Stop Believing" in horrible fucking beeping and screeching sounds that the Atari passed off as music.
Posted by: Andrew831 at February 28, 2008 6:17 PM
Now now, you two. Get a room if you're gonna be doing that sort of thing around here. I recommend Julie's kitchen.
Posted by: Porny Pony of Dakaron at February 28, 2008 6:20 PM
Oh yes, Dwayne could get it. And that beautiful body art just makes him ever more luscious (which is a nod to his Samoan heritage, yes?).
I think his movies are fairly decent - Oscar fare? Hell no - if you're not in a biopic, playing a mentally challenged person, or in an English period piece, you can forget it. But they're entertaining. He made The Rundown tolerable and funny (sorry, Seann William Scott gets on my last nerve). Can't really complain about him in any other role, either.
The Rock = added to my manharem in Daphneland.
Posted by: Daphne at February 28, 2008 6:26 PM
daphne,
i don't know jack about the rock, but yes, that artwork IS samoan.
FINALLY something i can comment on with authority!!
and DAMMIT, i now am in desperate need of bean dip and quac.
Posted by: bionic bunny at February 28, 2008 7:59 PM
Oh, Webster's Dominatrix, bless you for finding a photo that has the Rock's sexy as hell pec-tat in it. I will light a candle for you on sunday.
On my list of reasons to return to Miami for my masters, proximity to the Rock is number 2. Did you know he's going to be in the Get Smart movie? Because I might just have to see it now.
Posted by: Genny at February 28, 2008 8:45 PM
Fuck me! I'm gone a few hours and you've started another taco-dip-Pjiborgy without me?
I'm hurt. Thank you Julie and Joker.

Since nobody else will say it -- Busey is out of his ever-lovin' mind. That was funnier than any "I'm F***ing (your name here)" video.
Posted by: sansho1 at February 28, 2008 11:34 PM
I read the headline "Things are about to get really bad for the troops stationed overseas in Kuwait" and thought to myself, "hee hee, if J. Simps is being sent over!!" And then I clicked and it was all so very true. Sad when I can predict and expect the lowest common denominator when it comes to celebrity news.
Posted by: hbomb at February 29, 2008 1:15 AM
Ashamed to admit liking Frasier? Not me.
Talking shameless/shameful:
I dare you all to read this: transcripts of an on-line conversation between M. Lavandeira and a fellow blogger, full frontal male nudity pics included.
I'm not ashamed of liking Frasier. How can I be when it is one of the few sitcoms not to pander to the lowest common intelligence:
Niles, I've got news for you - Copernicus called and you are not the centre of the universe!
Incidentally, Peri Gilpin was not the only second choice on the show.
British actress Lisa Maxwell was originally cast as Daphne, but was replaced - because of a mix-up or a disagreement with the producers, depending on the source. She's doing ok for herself on British TV, but she's not quite as well paid as Jane Leeves....
Posted by: Simon B at February 29, 2008 7:44 AM
What the Hell? Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is an amazing game. I still play it! You get to moonwalk over manholes to open them, make dogs dance to Beat It, and catch a falling star to turn into a flying robot Michael Jackson. If I had my Genesis here, I would furiously play it right now out of spite.
I have Shaq Fu, too, but I only played it once. It was awful.
Posted by: HallsyHatesU at February 29, 2008 9:43 AM
HallsyHatesU, I don't agree with a lot of your posts, but I have to tell you that is awesome. That is dorky on an all new level, and I would love to be your friend so that I could come over and play whenever I wanted. I have a soft spot for MJ's Moonwalker.
Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at February 29, 2008 9:47 AM
Let me know if you're ever in the Cayman Islands. I forgot to mention that you can also knock out thugs with a spinning throw of Michael Jackson's fedora.
Come to think of it, I never did beat that game. In the last level, you fly Michael Jackson's spaceship, but I could never figure out the controls.
Posted by: HallsyHatesU at February 29, 2008 9:55 AM
god damn i love me some busey.
that has to have been a big joke cos he didnt got for the pastor dude, he went for the camera
Busey seems to me like he'd just chew the mans face off if he was really mad.
the busey's amuse me, deeply, with their freakiness.
Posted by: nadine at February 29, 2008 10:50 AM
Okay, this Journey shit has got to stop.
People: You know I (mostly) respect y'all and your opinions and you amuse the hell out of me (lookin' hard at you now, BSlim), but I don't see how anybody with a working brain and all their chromosomes could perceive the music of Journey as anything but the bad joke that it is.
Lyrics that would make Dr. Seuss roll his eyes in embarrassment. Mediocre-to-bad arrangement and playing. The best thing that can be said about the songs is that there is nothing there to stimulate or upset anyone, which is probably how they got to be so popular.
Journey is to musical prowess what Ashlee Simpson is to feminine allure.
Journey fucking sucks, okay? Now quit it.
Posted by: Jerce at February 29, 2008 11:05 AM
Okay I took the bait. Separate Ways...that video just made me dance and play air guitar in my office in my black pant suit.
Now Jerce, don't get your panties in a wad, they might be cheesy and overrated in terms of actual songwriting TALENT but doesn't Journey at least touch some funny part of you that no one else can?
To me, Journey is the group that makes me feel about 6 years old and in awe of rock n roll. Bottom line is that no one else makes me feel quite like Journey.
Posted by: lawyerjenn at February 29, 2008 12:19 PM
but doesn't Journey at least touch some funny part of you that no one else can?
I have to admit, they do. It is the funny part of me that is right in front of my uvula. Musically, only Journey, Def Leppard and Bon (Motherfucking) Jovi can touch me in that particular way.
To me, Journey is the group that makes me feel about 6 years old and in awe of rock n roll. Bottom line is that no one else makes me feel quite like Journey.
...*gnk*...
To each his own, okay? But personally I'd nominate a real music act, like, say, the Ramones or Bruce Springsteen or the Beatles, for that ineffable wonderful something which puts me in awe of rock and roll.
Posted by: Jerce at February 29, 2008 1:17 PM
my cousin and i used to play that journey video game at giant supermarket while my aunt perused the aisles--she took forever. we spent a lot of quarters on that damn game.
