i pronounce it aloo-minum.  and, yeah, i only ever say nucular in jest.

speaking of pronunciation: i get a kick out of the word "fire" because if you go by the grade school "hand clapping" method of counting syllables, it seems to have two.  but i'm pretty sure it is technically a one-syllable word.  what cracks me up is that i can't ever seem to pronounce "fire" monosyllabically without sounding like i have a southern drawl.

Eminem - The Eminem Show(I can see this pissing people off, but the sheer amount of subtle wordplay on this album makes it a no hesitation choice)

i got your back on this one - although, as an album i don't think it's that great, but there are certainly some gems on it.

Also aloominum for the same fucking reason  

you mean aluminum?  how do you pronounce it?

orientate - i feel this should not be a word.  one does not get orientated or disorientated, one gets oriented or disoriented.  it pisses me off cuz i looked it up and it was in the dictionary. 

am i the only one that keeps thinking Bachmann/Palin Overdrive?

Who starts their dissertation by saying "Hi, my name is..."

slim shady?

i am of the opinion that Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant is the correct Jazz-cycle

i now realize i had no real reason to ask that, because i can't possibly decide on my top favorite number one album of all time, but here are the first 10 i thought of, in the order i thought of them:

Fantomas - Director's Cut
Melvins - Stoner Witch (so hard to decide between this and Stag)
Clutch - Blast Tyrant
Hank Williams III - Straight to Hell
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
Muddy & the Wolf - (blues compilation featuring Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf)
20 Bluegrass Instrumentals - (Bluegrass Compilation)
Tomahawk - Anonymous (possibly only here cuz i just got it a couple weeks ago)
Kepone - Ugly Dance
The Jesus Lizard - Lash (so hard to choose between this one, Liar and Down)

i don't think i can ever commit to a static top ten list.  so many greats not mentioned . . .

fuck it, honorable mention:  Reverend Horton Heat - Holy Roller

1 is best, 10 is worst?

it's too bac chlamydia has such negative connotations, cuz i think it's actually a nice sounding word.

i just noticed an unintentional pun/freudian slip (i'm not sure if the clap is a bacteria or virus, but either way . . .)

since we're on the subject of bad-asses, i nominate Michael Malloy.  Yes there are a lot of citations needed, so who knows to what extent the story is actually true.  but i like the story nonetheless.

my yard looks like this:


this is as far as you can zoom in before google earth runs out of data.  i drew in where my house and barn are cuz the "current" picture on google maps is that old (house was built in 2004).  also, the address google maps goes to is about a mile off.  off in the lower left you can see the original hunting camp that still stands.

i've been thinking about having some sort of big to-do in that field, but i don't think i can afford to hire bands and stuff and i'm pretty sure i would never make my money back charging admission.

next summer is going to be riding lawn mower races and hopefully that will expand into something cool.

my grandpa's name was Edgar, and i'm pushing for Edgar Malcolm (if it's a boy).  my wife has an Agnes and an Adilaide in her family that she's pushing for (if it's a girl), but i don't like either of those names.  Agnes is tolerable, i guess, but Adilaide rhymes too much with Gatorade.

also, Iptuous:  the band Kepone has a song called Henry - it's got one of the prettiest bridges i've ever heard.  just passing it on.
