Gio, your facility with language is ever more intimidating. Will you teach me Esperanto sometime?

Thanks, LAD. We indeed have a crew of cunning linguists here (nods Faiz, Chris G, Dylan et. al), yourself included of course. In fact, with just a bit of honing, your cunning linguist skills may obviate pontification on what kinds of music girls do and do not get, as you'll be too busy gettin' busy in the SE Asian playing field.

Hoo-waa!!

he he.

By the way, i didn't even know what Esperanto was.

Back to Joey:

J O E Y R A M O N

Rey, o Jamon?

(translation: King, or Ham?)

and some new challenges:

Would Joey Ramon be a benevolent ruler? Why or why not?

Would Joey Ramon make for a tasty piece of ham? Why or why not? (Extra credit: How would you prepare him: smoked, cured, broiled, or some other way?)

Would Joey Ramon be a benevolent ruler? Why or why not?

Steps up to podium. Leans over it somewhat creepily.

“Ahem.

1 –2 –3 –4.
Every child has the right to glue.
And something to do.
Heroin is de-criminal-
Ized tew.

This is called benevolent yeah This is called benevolent yeah This is called benevolent yeah This is called benevolent RULE.

Thank you."

Challenge:
Guestimate the # of striped T-shirts in Joey Ramone's closet at the time of his death. Multiply by 4 and divide by 4. Repeat 4 times. Write down your answer on 4 slips of paper and cut each slip into 4 smaller slips of equal size. Place 4 of these slips on your tongue and count to 4. Tell us all the GPS coordinates of Jimmy Hoffa's body.

I will use this forum to shamelessly bring up how Mr. Ramone quoted me.

Our drummer's cousin is in the horror punk band, the Independents. They are rawky. They have Pyro. They have a Large UFO. Their drummer at the time carried his hardware in a child's coffin. The schtick is more than compensated for by the rock. 30 minute set? Bingo! 17 songs in 28 minutes. No stops. See them live.

Anyway, my old band played a show with them at the fireside many many years back (pyro at the fireside is veeerrrry scaaaarrryyy). We played just before them and I introduced them as "the band that puts the 'fun' back in 'funeral'". They loved this.

Joey managed these guys and Evil Presley (the cousin) was his bestest buddy. He told Joey about it and he loved it as well. Evil told us that from that moment on, Joey always introduced them as "the band that puts the 'fun' back in 'funeral'" He is even quoted saying that on the Independent's site.
I even saw him say it on Letterman once.

I am very proud of this.

I have no shame.

This is my story.

Easy: the SPRATT "cushion with sound," only $9.99.



Now, if Joey Ramone had a son, what would he name him?
Also name his imaginary pit bull.

Please make reference to a blitzkrieg, a brat, glue, kids, dancing, hearts.

And most importantly make certain it’s in rhyming couplets.

I actually saw it a few weeks ago on the telly. Trio is running it for a while as well as an awful MC3 show from somewhere, usually back to back.


The Ramones movie was fun, though.

Trivia: When Allan Arkush had Rock 'n' Roll High School's cast and crew spraypaint their choice of graffiti, Joey's contribution was "HELP ME!!!"
