I think it...Wade, I don’t think Alanis is Lebanese. I think it was just a teasing gesture aimed at those who think that Lebanese action is hot.<BR/><BR/>Imus, I do appreciate your humour, but I don’t think you appreciate the full amount of sarcasm that went into my original post. Perhaps it was applied too dryly. I’m not really a Seal fan, even before I discovered the illogic in his lyrics. He’s not quite as schlocky as Disney-era Elton Collins, but that’s no compliment. And let’s agree to call Seal a “talentless, soulless cokehead” with “a really bad complexion.” We shouldn’t forget about his pock-marked face. Although he did land Heidi Klum so I guess he does get the last laugh.<BR/><BR/>You caught the Arrested Development reference as a hint to my real taste in entertainment. I also through the Replacements in there for good measure. I appreciate the TiVo advice. I’m currently missing season three of AD because my wife works on Monday night’s and its 7:00 time slot conflicts with story time.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.

Flattailed aquatic rodent jokes aside: I too enjoy Dan's "ride along whilst safety pinned to my psyche" style.<BR/><BR/>For the record, Lebanese girls are invited to make a show of force at this year's Festivus, although the drama and impact of tandem riding the mechanical Surfboard will pale in comparison to that of last year's Bull.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12858469.post-1133902652995652742005-12-06T14:57:00.000-06:002005-12-06T14:57:00.000-06:00Wade,To clarify, Seal is a talented soulless cokeh...Wade,<BR/>To clarify, Seal is a <B><I>talented</B></I> soulless cokehead who seems to be trapped in the same music production quality hamster wheel that we find some of our most talented artists; who can forget Phil Collins' beautiful yet haunting theme from "Tarzan II - direct to DVD", many of which have probably experimented with being Lebanese in college or when they had too much to drink at a Festivus.<BR/><BR/>Dan simply had a lapse in judgment and was Lebanese enough to bring it up. Notice that he qualified his concern for this lapse in the first paragraph of his post and pointed out clearly that we should not expect these lapses by his reference to <B>Arrested Development</B>. <BR/><BR/>Is it Dan's fault that the program that he was viewing had to cut itself short in order to make room for commercial breaks? Is it Dan's fault that if had a "Season Pass" for Arrested Development saved on his TIVO, and was viewing said episode from the TIVO rather than from DVD that he wouldn't have had to switch over to VH1? And is it Dan's fault that I've spent this much time trying to be cleaver but getting nowhere?<BR/><BR/>Dan, it's kind of your fault, but again keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12858469.post-1133899794176065542005-12-06T14:09:00.000-06:002005-12-06T14:09:00.000-06:00Mr. Cocaine, Are you saying that Seal was/is for t...Mr. Cocaine, <BR/>Are you saying that Seal was/is for the most part a talentless soulless cokehead? Or was/is he a talentless soulless cokehead with excellent production? <BR/><BR/>40 minutes on the elliptical certainly may impair judgement but not so much as bit of the Peruvian Marching Powder will make you want to clean your apartment really... really well. <BR/><BR/>Listening to Seal in either state is most definitely a bad choice, however I do appreciate the research you and Dan have conducted on the matter at hand.<BR/><BR/>So...

I'm pretty sure, however, that it heightened my sensory perception in this instance and allowed me to uncover Seal's subversive message. In the name of science, I suppose I should give the song another listen with a resting heartbeat.<BR/><BR/>To Anon 9:48, I'm sorry but I don't get what you are referencing with your comment. I'm really sorry if it turns out that it is funny and I'm just too obtuse to get it.<BR/><BR/>DanBlogFreeSpringfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314548731839300032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12858469.post-1133886534186934222005-12-06T10:28:00.000-06:002005-12-06T10:28:00.000-06:00Well signed, my apologies.Well signed, my apologies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12858469.post-1133884085626278912005-12-06T09:48:00.000-06:002005-12-06T09:48:00.000-06:00I might be deaf, you insensitive clod!I might be deaf, you insensitive clod!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12858469.post-1133845045687389782005-12-05T22:57:00.000-06:002005-12-05T22:57:00.000-06:00I was going to write about how another listener is...I was going to write about how another listener is searching for meaning in the meaningless. And that at the time, and a good deal of time thereafter, that the only thing that was "Crazy" was the amount of cocaine that Seal fed into his disfigured mug.<BR/><BR/>But then I realized that I missed cocaine, and how often during the hours spent cleaning my apartment I too would listen to music, dig the lyrics sheets out their album jackets, and work myself into an enlightened user experience.<BR/><BR/>And that you, because of doing the greater good for us all, deserve to tell us how you feel about these lyrics. Even though I truly believe that 40 minutes is far too long to spend on that type of machine and that you could have easily been exhausted and quite possibly were suffering from the effects of a lack of oxygen.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work and keep writing about those crazy women in the red clothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
