Come all your rambling boys of pleasure, and ladies of easy leisure...
Man, the dumb shit that was done in the name of this song back in the early 90s. Glory days.
And this one's got the great Kirsty MacColl in it:

I like the Lucky Charms jingle.
I need a pair of the St Louis University basketball shorts.
pour out something rollicking and beach-friendly for dick dale
If Ryan Fitzpatrick finishes the second year of his contract with Miami he will have $69,000,000 in career earnings. I feel like I would retire at that point.
team gtb seems pretty fired up for the ncaa tournament
What tournament?
2006. The late, great Irish-American David Patrick Flynn calls me.
"Whitney, when's that Pogues show?"
"March 9th."
"PERFECT! Marguerite isn't getting induced until March 10th."
What could go wrong?? A ton, but Flynn and I had a monster night out seeing the Pogues 1st show on American soil after re-forming with Shane MacGowan. A killer set with all the greats dusted off, including the penultimate tune of the night, "Fairytale of New York," in which Shane and his duetmate slow danced to the instrumental close-out while faux snow fell from the rafters.
Show was near the end. One song left, as it turned out. I asked aloud, "What haven't they played?" I then answered my own question.
"We haven't heard Fiesta."
Moments later, they start in on it. I raced to the front of the venue to enter the mosh fray. Even at 35, I was too old for that. But it was fun, right up until the part where I slipped on the mud and fell flat on my back. I was almost certainly going to be trampled. Then some dude with very strong arms reached down, grabbed me, picked me up, and stood me upright. I thanked him profusely for a half-second until he was whisked away by the surging crowd.
Lots of life, nearly death, and Cap Noonan was there. He announced his presence by putting a cup of Jameson atop my head. Slainte.
Epilogue. That was Dave Flynn's last St. Patrick season. But the baby girl was born just fine on March 10th.
that guy packed a lot of livin' in.
Some people are just wired that way
Hey! So re: the basketball coach vacancy now at WM...so, who exactly are they going to try to hire now? Someone who has been to the dance? Are they going to be able to do that?!
espn accidentally posted the women's ncaa bracket this afternoon, hours before the selection show. can you imagine the shitstorm if they'd done something similar with the men's? the tempest would explode the teapot.
i need some ncaa tips. going in various pools and have no clue.
When in doubt, pick the mascot that would win in a fight.
Zman and the Whitdog are rolling to Jason Isbell and Father John Misty in Richmond on June 24. It’s a Monday, which precludes most of you soft underbellies, but anyone with a modicum of sand, come join us.
taking my kidlets to see 21 pilots in charlottesville on june 9, if anyone's up for some angst-rock.
What day of the year is the 21 pilots show?
you know what time it is, marls
Guys, the band really likes it spelled out Twenty One. Like Nine Inch Nails or the Dave Clark Five. Not like Sham 69 or 2 Live Crew.
And How Bizarre just came on at my favorite bar. How bizarre.
Dave - go with Dayton vs NC State in the NIT final.
