I followed The Stones' GHS with Dylan's "Planet Waves" and then Tull's "Passion Play." I had quite a streak going there. The difference back then was that there were much better choices available -- I just wasn't making them (for a short stretch).

I had been a fan of the RS since the beginning, but "Goat's Head Soup" was the first album I bought by them. Some debut. I was ready to give up on them. But for some reason a few months later I gave them another try, and bought "Exile On Main Street." A few years later I got 'Some Girls." So I was 2 for 3. To cap it all off, me and the Mrs. got to see them perform at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ during their 1978 (aka Some Girls) tour. Needless to say, it was the best concert I ever saw, and I've seen a few.

"Gay training session". Is that what they call Catholic seminary school these days?

You won't believe this, but the same thing (almost) recently happened to me!

I was in a store and this fetching young clerk was wearing the nametag "Eleanor Rigby..."

(PS: I liked your story better. Now that baseball season is about to start, we'll hear nonsense about players being "on a pace" to set some astonishing record or other. My answer is "Cher and Gregg Allman were 'on a pace' for their Golden Wedding Anniversary. For about ten days.")

"...Obama just plain murdered everyone else aboard because he is a James Bond movie villain."

So far, The Evil Mastermind Trying to Take Over the World by making that jet disappear has been successful. James Bond movie villains always fail.

Here we see Jim being attacked by a troupe of feral Briebarts. Good thing he has Mutual Butthurt of Omaha.

I know that's not true because it never happened to me. I did see it in a movie once, though. "Pharmacy Phantasies IV: Viagra & Vaginas"

That's what he said. He's on the socialist ER/bankruptcy plan where everyone else pays for his lack of personal responsibility.
