Well I don't like it, I mean, I find kim's gtrs more earth shaking than razor edged as far as shitty metaphors go, and I personnally don't find SG 's rythms so erotic... I mean, JCP would be like a cocaine-nosed rabbit fornicating, which is not quite my idea of eroticism... Maybe Big Bottom :) ?

I just thought it was something some random radio guy had scrawled on there. when I got home, I checked it, and lo and behold, it's ben's autograph! it sure made my weekend. sotw coming soon. justin ------------- q: is it easy kicking so much ass? a: yes, because there is so much ass to be kicked out there. -matt cameron, 1998. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jun 1998 22:35:28 EDT From: Catherine Veit Subject: Re: new menu item well..to each his own. i only found it interesting because i hadn't heard an overview so verbose. i didn't say it had to be accurate....journalists sometimes aren't. they must cater to the media and what they're told the majority wants to hear... my sister is looking into the field of journalism... if there's anyone who could jump onto the namegame bandwagon it's her!!! like chris once said to Fabio and his sunkissed tresses, "make money anyway you can." damn...i'm just too lazy to regurgitate a decent comeback, it's not worth it. to close, sg does have the "sexiest groove" around..make no mistake about that! and regarding JCP, i always thought i'd make a good girlfriend for jesus! long locks and facial tufts..he he he, sound familiar? -cats4kim ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jun 1998 23:02:58 EDT From: Nadezhda Ball Subject: Re: new menu item Well kiddies. I always like hearing writer's coment on SG, even when they say bad shit. It just gets me so riled up! Tee hee!!! My uncle wrote an article for the Village Voice about PJ's new album when it came out, and mentioned SG and said they were geniuses (sp?). At first I was like I really love this person, and then I saw the author, and said I really do!!! (point?) Now what I don't understand is the erotic thing. Is it just me? My own opinion....I happen to think that they do have a lot of erotic sounds. Not like every song......I don't know Smokestack Lightening kind of gets me in the mood.......Am I weird if He Didn't does too? Well actually....that whole album just reminds me of all the different levels of emotions you can have (well girls at least, i don' know if guys have them) during intimacy....I don't mean to get ll perverse on you all. It was just my take on it. Well just my add to the SG pie. Searchin for the pie with my good oven closed. da queen of da hedgehogz! DeZHy "if this isn't makin sense, it doesn't make it lies." "the truth don't look good on me." Has anyone been watchin Fraiser lately? Has any of the boyz called in yet? I'm still waitin on it.....TEE HEE!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jun 1998 23:26:43 EDT From: Nadezhda Ball Subject: TFC damnit. Okay, for the SOMMSTERS who are going to the Tibetan Freedom Concert....let's look out for one another. I'm volunteering, so look out for the very loud black chica screamin most likely about signing a petition. Now if you get me confused with another black chica screamin about somethin or other, it'z prolly cuz ya didn't check out the somms picture pages! Or you prolly think all black peoples look alike. Now I wanna see some of y'all there, and we can be right up front for PJ and Mr. Cameron. Come on we need to hav, as Ozzy put it so eloquently, a SOMMSORGY! Oh my! Now get it together people. Heere's the addie to the somms people's picture pages!
