  1. About as much confidence as Incognito does in Dolphin fans. Or your Mets bullpen. The thing about the Sanchez signing is that if Kelly wants to implement the Ducks offense he is famous for and was supposedly hired by Philadelphia in the first place, Sanchez is not that type of quarterback. It makes zero sense from a system standpoint.
  2. Throw in some roasted garlic and mashed taters can be pretty tasty.
  3. No doubt. The Stones in 1981-82 were dreadfully dull on that tour. Mick in those horrible American football pants. Ugh. Someone in the audience at the Houston Astrodome show was so bored they resorted to stabbing someone...or was it the Cotton Bowl show?
  4. So the Eagles sign questionable Sanchez yet let a genuine talent like Jackson go to the Taters? Not sure I understand their thinking, but as they're in the NFC Least, I don't really care. All four teams in this division are looney toons.
  5. This thread is getting off-topic. I love "Four Sticks" to death, but the OP wasn't asking about that song or even your thoughts about Led Zeppelin IV as a whole. He was asking your thoughts about his theory that Jimmy purposely put the noises that begin the album because as "Master of the group" he couldn't bear having Robert's voice be the first thing listeners heard. Daffy or not, let's try to keep the discussion on-track.
  6. October 12, 1969 Lyceum Ballroom, London. Two days after the show we're getting on the Led Zeppelin remaster.
  7. It's possible joeboy was just having a giggle for April Fools' Day.
  8. +1 You seem like a good chap to go to a concert with...and one who understands the unspoken social contract that most people abide when attending rowdy rock shows.
  9. Miso soup, seaweed salad, Godzilla Rolls and Pinot Grigio wine while watching the Angels Home Opener vs. Seattle tonight.
  10. Dames. That was a fun read and thanks to the Non Sequitur comic strip, I was familiar with most of the words on the list. Except for "basement" used to refer to a restroom...that was a new one to me.
  11. Thoughts? Hmmm, that maybe you've been drinking or hanging around joeboy too much? For the record, Led Zeppelin II begins with Robert Plant's cough, so the whole theory of Page not wanting Plant to be heard first is kind of null and void from the getgo. Now, one attribute of Led Zeppelin IV is that the album is a masterpiece of the art of sequencing. The whole album flows beautifully, taking the listener on a journey of many, varying peaks and valleys and emotions. If I were to suggest any sort of forethought on Jimmy Page's part about the start of Led Zeppelin IV, it would be to say that I'm sure the bizarre criticisms of "Led Zeppelin going soft" that came after the release of Led Zeppelin III might have still been on Jimmy's mind when putting together the fourth album. The final sounds on Led Zeppelin III were acoustic guitars. By beginning Led Zeppelin IV with the unmistakable sound of an electric guitar and amp sputtering to life, it might have been Jimmy's way of saying to the doubters that Led Zeppelin could still bring the Hammer of the Gods. Soft? Here's a double dose of Black Dog and Rock and Roll scorching rock for your head, you nitwits! Like I said...pure conjecture on my part. I would never claim to know the inner workings of the Wizard's mind.
  12. Perhaps joeboy is a cartoon, too?
  13. If it's any help I printed out everyone's picks. There are nine of us entered so far...Rick, Paul, Walter, zepscoda, ebk, jabe, jb126, Bong-Man, and yours truly. Good luck everyone.
  14. The calendar says March 31 but looking at the weather map, I swear it appears as if most of the U.S. north of the California-Texas-Florida belt is still in the grips of Father Winter. Snow? Still? Here's hoping you get released from winter's grasp soon and get some warm, sunny weather for a change...especially those of you going to Opening Day baseball games!
  15. If only the soundboards were better and more complete, like the 1975 ones. I tend to prefer the 1973 audience to soundboards on shows like 5.31.73 and 7.17.73.
  16. Yesterday was French Toast Friday. Brioche bread rolled in corn flakes, topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. Heavenly. Mmmmm.
  17. One of my favourite pieces in our current show, Peter Adamyan's "Dark Side of the S.S."

    March Madness

    I wouldn't expect any less from a beautiful Hokie. Congratulations on a helluva season. Walter, 5 of the Elite 8, and 3 of the Final 4 still alive for me. Anyone besides Ashley Judd have Kentucky beating Louisville? Haha, at least with Kentucky's victory we'll be treated to more of the lovely Ms. Judd. Can Dayton shock the world and beat Florida today? Even though I have Florida in my brackets, I now kind of want Arizona to win it all...or Michigan St.
  19. ^^^ Nice to see you back, Sue. You've been missed. SAJ, I have to concur somewhat with KB's sentiments. As much as San Francisco is a photogenic city offering a wealth of iconic targets of destruction...and a sizable Japanese and Asian population...when I think Godzilla, I still think Tokyo. Oh no! There goes Tokyo! Go Go Godzilla!
  20. Happy Birthday henrybonzo! Let the Guinness and rock and roll flow! May you have a glorious birthday with plenty of cool presents and a healthy side order of John Henry Bonham. And remember to be thankful...for you have now lived longer than Bonzo himself. Cheers!
  21. Welcome to the Forum. Do you work in radio? Just curious...where do you rank "Achilles Last Stand"? "Dazed and Confused"? "Ten Years Gone"? "In the Light"?
  22. Why so puzzled? Ok, jb126 has her picks in. Is everybody in? Is EVERYBODY in? The ceremony is about to begin...
  23. Yes indeed. I'm dead chuffed by this news. But when will he get recognized for his contributions to biomedical research?
  24. That sounds like an excellent educated guess. Good detective work and good memory. He looks a little like Sterling Morrison.
