Now, on with the

It seems the nearer
your destination, the more you're slip sliding away.

News©: Well, the record fell from #2 to #5 and had a 50%
drop-off in sales (down to 130,000) His last 4 records
went platinum in under 2 weeks, this one might not make it to gold
in 3. Garth has a(nother) Christmas record coming next
month. Should be interesting...
LEEnk Of The Week©:

I heard Will
Ferrell put his hands on Heather Graham's chest on SNL. And
"Night At The Roxbury" wasn't reason enough to have him
killed?

Favorite Album Of
All Time This Week©: 'Panorama' - The Cars.
Saw Laurie
Anderson's "Songs & Stories from Moby Dick" on
Wednesday. For an hour & 45 minutes that night, my life
was SO much better than yours.
Gee, thanks for the
questions. Everyone get a number 2 pencil. There will
be a quiz...
What's the weather gonna be like tomorrow?
Okay.
Name your favorite game show host and why????
I'd probably say
Garry Moore. Don't really know why, other than the fact it
seems that he'd be a gas to get loaded with.
Is "slits" your euphemism for girls? That's
offensive.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
1. Who's your favorite drummer and why?
Stewart Copeland.
He's the best. Ever. Period. Jimmy Page once
said that there could never be another Led Zeppelin after John
Bonham died. Ever wonder why all of Sting's solo
records suck?
2. Coke or Pepsi?
With or without
milk?
3. Which present day actress gets your juices flowing?
Sexually? That would be the ravishing Heather Graham. For talent, you can't beat Christina Ricci with a stick, although I'd like to sometimes...
4. Cheetos -- Baked or Crunchy?
While baked,
crunchy.
5. What's your favorite Peter Sellers movie?
Best movie or
performance in a movie? Movie: Dr. Stranglelove.
Performance: Lolita.
6. Would you rather have a root canal or listen to an entire
John Tesh CD, and why?
Root canal.
Aside from the obvious, it would be shorter, too. (see
earlier LEEmail comment on 78 minute CDs)
7. Michael Bolton: Long or short hair?
I'd prefer not to
dwell on the hair and answer - Michael Bolton: Head or No
Head?
8. What is your favorite Neil Young guitar solo, and why?
"Don't
Cry" from 'Freedom'. Because I'm always right.
9. M&M's: Plain, Peanut or Peanut Butter?
Plain.
10. Reese Witherspoon or Alicia Silverstone?
If I needed manual
labor done, I'd go with Silverstone. (Anyone seen the new
issue of 'Premiere'? Looks like her next project is the Mama Cass
Story, or at least Clueless 2: Pumping Iron.) Witherspoon
is sleeping with that vacuous & talentless dick, but she does
have a great mouth. What was the question again?
Is the apocalypse--as foretold by the prophets and soothsayers of
old--now at hand? Are we living in The Final Daze?
You subscribed to
LEEmail. What do you think?
Why haven't you shot Craig Killborn yet?
Have never seen
enough of him to develop an opinion. Sorry. Oh yeah,
it would be against the law, too.
What is vagina?
After the failure
of several attempts by Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Ralegh
(Raleigh) to plant a settlement in Vagina and after Gilbert's
death, Ralegh in 1606 transferred his interests to the Vagina
Company of London. The first settlers, 144 in number, left England
in December of that year in the "Susan Constant," the
"Godspeed," and the "Discovery" and arrived at
Jamestown on May 13, 1607. The aims of the Vagina Company were to
aid in building a strong merchant fleet (which served as part of
the Navy) and to train "able mariners" for England's
protection; "to spread the gospel among the heathen people of
Vagina"; to establish new areas for trade; to find precious
metals; and to plant a Protestant English colony in a land
threatened by Spain. The colony was kept alive during the first
years mainly through the efforts of Capt. John Smith (q.v.), who
secured food, made peace with the Indians, explored the country,
wrote the first published book on Vagina (A True Relation, London,
1608), and drew a map of Vagina remarkable for its accuracy. After
Smith left in 1609 the colonists experienced a year of great
suffering-the "starving time."
Favorite Song Of
All Time This Week©: "Yum Yum" - Nile Rodgers
LEE on DVD This
Week©: 'The Wizard Of Oz' [WHV]. C'mon, it's a great
picture. And you've got to love the fact that if you
combined the Scarecrow, Tin Man & Cowardly Lion - you'd have
one hell of a homosexual. (Watch it again. Jack Haley
is fantastically fay. Not to mention the fact that the
Scarecrow likes to have a post stuck up his butt, and the Lion
likes to be on all fours...) The transfer is great, and
actually answers the age old question about the "midget
hanging himself in the background" in that one scene.
This transfer is so clear, you can actually see that it's one of
the exotic birds that are wandering around the set stretching its
wings. Clear as day. Weird. I must have looked
at that scene over 50 times trying to figure it out, and never
could - but it's right there on the DVD. Anyway, LOTS of
cool extra extras, including a better reconstruction of "The
Jitterbug" than we saw on the 50th anniversary VHS.
But, it looks like there's more of Harold Arlen's spooky
footage that they're not showing. Why not a "Jitterbug '99"
remix video with all the footage? Just an idea.
And, no - I didn't watch it while listening to 'Dark Side Of The
Moon'. Did it once with the VHS, and it's not that cool.
But, try any episode of the 'New Zoo Revue' while listening to the
"International Feel (in 8)" side of 'A Wizard A True
Star', and you'll always have a GREAT time. Crunchy Cheetos
optional.
I tried to get
through "The Wedding Singer" this week. I really
tried. Got about 20 minutes into it, and didn't laugh
once. I turned it off. Sorry, kids - he's just not
funny.
Question Of The
Week©: If you were pregnant (and you LEEmailers who are,
take heed), what record(s) would you be playing - with the
headphones placed firmly on yer belly - to make sure that the baby knew
good tunes? By the way, we're in 'Rabbit Test' mode here -
boys can have babies in LEEworld for this game.
