But I have no problem saying that Tom Petty is an ugly man. Dear God, is that man ugly. As physically unattractive as the other Wilburys might be, Tom Petty completely transcends their pedestrian or comic unattractiveness. He reaches a level of unholy ugliness that must be the result of Mother Nature's cruel and purposeful manipulation of the zygote.
He looks to be fresh from the grave, but newly dentured. He is "avert-your-eyes-children!" ugly, assuming that there is a child in all of us. He is a desperately malnourished human coyote.
Here's the thing, though -- it's not a fascinating or freakish ugly. It's just swamp ugly, but a whole lot of it.
Tom Petty, the joke's on you if you believe in a good and righteous God, you ugly man.
And you're ugly, too, Billy Corgan. Holy mother of God, Billy Corgan, you are one ugly human being.
incredible.
when i saw this thread, this is first quote that came to mind.
i almost feel like we should give Bradley a "Lifetime Achievement PWN3D!" or something. so much of his good work is head and shoulders above most of the rest of us that... well, allow me to offer an analogy:
for years and years, the University of Wisconsin was not included on the Princeton Review's "Party School" list because it was just assumed that the UW was more chemically enhanced than any other school in the world. this year, we were listed as the number 1 party school (fucking duh). i feel like it's that way with BRW; if we were to honestly evaluate the posts in this forum, we'd have to list a hundred things he said. from this day forward, i think we can just assume, based on previous evidence, that just about everything he says is of high enough quality to be in this thread.
speaking of which, can anyone find that "ass kick talk place" monologue? golden!
also, MTAR (and steve), your contribution was probably the funniest thing i have read so far this year. i swear i am never taking a break from the forum again, lest i miss something like that.
if i got lasik surgery on one eye, i could wear a monacle.
