Toots, Common, Kymani, Stephen, Julian and Ziggy Marley and Slightly Stoopid.
Frickin SCHWEET!!!!
quick side story: I met Robert "The Chief" Parish at a P-Funk All Stars show at the Fleet Pavilion when it was next to the courthouse a few years ago. DAMN that motherfucker's tall!!!
Anyways, this show should be the balls. Toots puts on a hell of a show for 63 year old 5' 6" little Jamaican man.
it has already been discussed amongst my usual group of good-for-nothings and roustabouts, and attendance has been deemed mandatory.
when do tix go on sale?
edit: on sale now.
also edit: i was recently pm-ing iwth a new boston magnion transplant (365wp), and it was decided that we should have an 'internet ski dorks get drunk' event. my vote is for the landing on long wharf. fishbowls full of rum, sitting outside on the water, if we're lucky they play lots of old school bob marley. if we're unlucky they'll play the top gun soundtrack.
bill, since november everytime i leave my apartment i have to read the sign over my front door. it reads: no scorpion bowls, no fighting. dont make me brake the rules mang.Quote:

i like toots alot, but honestly, after seeing him every year for the last five, i think he's going down hill. although the paradise last year was pretty good. john Macenroe bought me a beer.
(robert parish dish) i went to school with bill waltons kid, yes the one on the lakers and his two older bros, parish was good buds with bill and used to show at all the b-day parties and stuff. so did DJ. so fun playing tree on three with the two walton boys against their dad, parish and dj. we were in third grade, luke was younger, so we didnt match up too well.
first time i ever smelled the reefer was at the walton home, guess who was over watching greatfull dead videos with billy?

thats about all we've got going for us at this point. at least four years untill we can compete with a team like detroit
solid solid plan. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to this gig. Kymani Marley is pretty sweet.
those fishbowl scorpion bowls are a good time at the Landing...but I'd like to bring up a point I feel is valid. Is the scorpion bowl a beverage that IS or IS NOT supposed to be consumed in "race" fashion? I'm a firm believer that if you are going scorpion bowl, you have to order at least 2, or split up into teams and see who can drink the fastest. That wonderful heady mix of 41 different kinds of booze all attacking your liver and stomach lining at the same time just can't be beat. Especially when you are friggin cocked like....10 minutes later.
Scorpion bowls...good times buddehs...good times...
on my birthday bill bought $80 os scorpion bowls. it was a race, each guy had one to himself. i dont remember anything after that, and i woke up covered in my own blood.Quote:

however, rules are ment to be broken.Quote:
no scorpion bowls ; no fighting
if the scorpion bowl has a flaming center, it should be raced.
otherwise, it's not that kind of establishment, and racing can lead to your party getting cut off and having to throw tables in order to express your disappointment at getting cut off.
and the fishbowls at the landing are not technically scorpion bowls, but i would race one. watch out for brainfreeze though.
i'll wear a touque
actually it was brad that got stuck with that bill for 3 fuckin scorpion bowls.Quote:

not that there wasnt' $25 worth of booze in each.
ugh. that night went downhill really quickly, about the time you speared brad into the newspaper vending machines at downtown crossing, then said something to the effect of 'who else wants some' to a group of eight 275lb meatheads wearing wifebeaters in november. glad we got out of that one with all of our teeth.
so: no base, some rules are not meant to be broken.
That show looks great...listen to reggae on WERS on the commute home every day. Keeping me sane on the 93S drive...
i thought i was cleared of all resposibility on that one.Quote:

They do sometimes play some dance-hall type stuff that I don't really like. But what other station can you call and request the like 25 minute live version of Tosh doing "Buckingham Palace" and they play it 10 minutes later? Friggin sweet yo!
you made me black out.Quote:

and for the record, i wasn't pointing fingers or blaming anyone. you know i can't blame anyone but myself for anything that happens. it's called being catholic.
You don't like the Big Show?!?!? Huh, that's my favorite sports show.Quote:

WP, what town are you living in?
glen is the best at the buisness for sure. but imo those guys are too big around here, like their word is bond. its funny sometimes, but gets really old if you listen every day. i still tune in all the time to hear interviews with the owners and stuff, and the winer line can be very funny. but i get a little annoyed by them.
Keeping it real in Dorchester...the only place we could afford to buy without putting a kidney on e-bay. It's great to be back! Boat goes in the water soon, started mtn biking, love the city.Quote:

Are you in the area?
uhhhh somebody just "boat goes in the water soon". When do you plan on taking me fishing? I can cut bait, clean fish, untangle birdnested fishing line, make excellent chum with my Chum Buddy system, drink twice my weight in beers, tie a bowline, a 1/2 hitch, a figure-eight knot and cleat a line like a bastard!!!!!!!
I'm a big fan of the Rockers show. And I'm getting to the point where I'd rather listen to the sound of traffic than Nik Carter on BCN. Could someone please tell him to stop talking nonsense over all the music?
Soon. It's a 19ft sailboat down in SE Mass (Marion)...when I was driving the launch down there, I'd see guys come back with huge blues they'd just caught. I need to get some local knowledge on the waters down there...I'm up for it.Quote:

Im down for that show for sure.
what is everyone in the area doing this weekend??
Yeah, Base, I guess I'm not probably just not up there enough to get sick of it. But the Whin-ahhh line can be wicked funny kid.
Vinz, what happened to your boat? Still got it?
seriously, the only options are wers, npr, or eei. the rest of it just sucks. i'm convinced thats why people convert to talk radio. less talking than on the music stations.
and i think we should have a maggot stripah slaying festivus. get in bills wahlah and 365's (what kind of boat is it?) and have a stripah battle. most chum wins!!!
edit: missed page too here. 19footers are nice. my company races rows 19's at coragous sailing center in charelstown once a week. supah fun out theah in tha hahbah
Yeah, wicked bad. It's nice to have the college stations...went from having three ClearChannel stations on my radio in CO to none here. Miss 89.3 (the Jazz Oasis), though.Quote:

Sweet...lemme know if you need crew. I was doing a little J/24 frostbiting out of Boston Sailing Center about five years ago.Quote:

yeah my parent's boat partners were from Chicago and kept the boat in Marblehead so obviously the Chicago folk only got about 1 week a year out of it. They decided it wasn't worth the $$ so they wanted to sell. Which is a huge bust because now I gotta rely on a guy who owns a landscaping company to go out fishing on the water and he works alot of weekends the bastard.
Oh I should include that last summer at the beginning of a 2 week vacation, the second week of which the Chicago people were in town....yeah...I went between Tinker's island and Marblehead Neck, which I've done a thousand times, and managed to find out that there's a shipwreck down there. Bent the shit out of the prop. I got that replaced and then found out that I had bent the driveshaft. Got that fixed and then had to replace a fuel pump which took me about 2 days to figure out which pump it was and finally ended up replacing all 4 of the pumps. Suffice to say, the Chicago people were PISSED about no boat.
Did ALOT of sailing as a youth, I'm into sailing. Never done much fishing off a sailboat but I bet we can troll like hell off the thing! I'll win the chum comp. I got the ultimate chum system.
I decided to put my money where my mouth is and ask Nik to quit talking over the music. Here's his response:
well, jmo, unfortunately that is essentially what they pay me for! I mean every DJ on every station does that, every station, every DJ on my station as well so that's it.
Thanx for the email though
Nik
i wonder if you know my uncle, he;s been frostbitin in tha hahbah for evah. he's also the capatin of our crew at coragous, meaning he sails every week and the employees all rotate. i think our bout is in second place so far this series. they print the serults in the globe, it makes us feel specialQuote:

Ugh. When I was driving I managed to "find" a rock with one of the launches...seized the engine. The launch had just been rebuilt...was a beautiful 25ft. Concordia or Egg Harbor, forget which. That sucked almost as much as the time the kid at the fuel dock handed me the gas hose (instead of diesel) and I didn't think to check...or the time the brand new VHF radio clip broke and it went in the drink. The time my buddy and I "borrowed" a boat from the marina we were working at and I just missed hitting an uncharted rock at 25kts at night makes up for all the bad luck, though...that would have been really bad.Quote:

Excellent! I can't fish for a damn...all I've caught on the few times I've tried were clownfish (fun to unhook) and flounder. Want to learn.Quote:
