10. I should have made "my hand in marriage" the prize for that question

That line just tickles me crazy.

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Me too!!

I laugh like crazy every damn time I hear it!!

[SweetZombieJesus]

12. "My little baby sunhat and painter's smock will protect me."

The funniest part of that episode is when the dog walks by and Servo goes "Rufaroo. Bow-ha-wow."

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Oh man

and the noses on those guys...I love the Japanese!!!

[Fenris]

[SweetZombieJesus]

16. You are racking up the cool points

Ok, a Mr. Show question now:

What real life musicians were Bob and David's characters in the "Sad Songs Awards" sketch based on?

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Mr. Show question for you

Which real life musician plays "Puscifer", lead singer of the band that plays the Ronnie Dobbs song?

Bonus: Which real life musician plays the lead guitarist in that band?

[SweetZombieJesus]

35. Tool

And whoever the lead guitarist of Tool is.

Maynard also wrote "Try Again", the Titanica song from the Burn Boy sketch.

[bicentennial_baby]

36. and

"Ass Kicking Fat Kid"

[SweetZombieJesus]

38. I was going to mention it, but how many people have actually seen Run

Ronnie Run?

When I met David, I tried to give him eight bucks for seeing it without paying for it.

[bicentennial_baby]

40. LOL

I know...it' sad.

[SweetZombieJesus]

41. Why must you be in Massachussetts?

Damn you woman! ;-)

[roughsatori]

19. However if you saw that movie you lose 200,000 cool points

NT

[SweetZombieJesus]

26. Aw, come on, it was a good movie

As far as lame "anti-establishment" 80s movies go, it was good.

And the bit about kicking kids out of school so they could raise the test scores? Bush stole that from this movie and used it in Texas.

[roughsatori]

32. I just said that to be a crank and annoy you

I did not mean to impose on your numerical distribution.

[aquaman]

4. Flowers of Romance maybe???????

Guess, I remember him because of one of Sid's songs.

[KCDem]

6. Yeah... absolutely no idea!

But I know PIL... and I also guess that anyone who would win the "cool DUer" points wouldn't be on on a Saturday night.

;)

But hell, I'm pretty cool, I just asked my neighbors to calm down the music, and my tight T did the job! Tits to the rescue!

[roughsatori]

17. I saw him play the first 2 times PIL played new York

One was a surprise performance at a country Western bar--that one was the best. He also produced a very good pop album by "Cowboys International" called Original Sin. He has an interesting website with some good downloads. He is one of my favorite guitarists. And I know you don't like Sid, but I lived in the Chelsea Hotel during that period. William Burroughs and I had the same ,umm, doctor. However, I don't need cool points, mine almost killed me. Give them to some other fool.

[SweetZombieJesus]

18. If you shared anything with Burroughs, you win

I suspect you're the winner.

[roughsatori]

31. He also had sex with my "roommate" does that count as sharing?

And my roommate got beat buying heroin with Richard Hell. Those 2 idiots bought dime bags of baby powder. I won't mention my roommates name, but the last I heard there was an art show in new york called: Postcards from the Asylum" or something like that. He had started to draw on postcards while in a mental hospital and mailed them to the gallery owner. Anyway I'm babbling and this is my hidden past.....

[roughsatori]

25. He used to be uncool, he was a roadie for YES in 1974

Yes Kieth Levene a roadie for Prog Rock Pretensions.

[SweetZombieJesus]

28. Yeah, I knew that, but anyone who was in the Clash is absolved of any prog

rock sins.

[roughsatori]

33. Are you sure you live in Nebraska?

Uh oh, my urban northern elitism is showing.

[SweetZombieJesus]

37. I read a lot

Like I said, not much to do here but read.

[roughsatori]

42. Reading is the gift that has infused me with a modicum of sanity

In all honest un-coolness, it is my salvation.

[SweetZombieJesus]

43. Trust me, it would be moreso if you were in this nothing state

Where I live, they built this big fuck-off monstrosity tourist trap called "The Great Platte River Archway". If you've seen "About Schmidt", you've seen it. Anyway, it's this ridiculous thing because it's just a giant arch over a stretch of interstate, and basically the only landmark in Nebraska. You basically drive through a bunch of nothing to get to a gateway to more nothing. And that's life in Nebraska.

[tarkus]

45. Hmm. I am going to have to disagree.

Prog rock is far better than punk rock. I think I might be losing cool points.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. I am a feeb, but I am a cool feeb, just don't ask my daughter...

;-)

[WilliamPitt]

20. OK

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Hey, no fair, I say published authors cannot compete for cool points...

:P

[WilliamPitt]

27. Where did you say that?

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Here...in the basement...of my house...while doing laundry....

top that for coolness, I dare ya.

:P

[SweetZombieJesus]

22. Friggin showoff

;-)

[WilliamPitt]

29. Friggin zombie

:):):)

[roughsatori]

39. "Salesmanship is more important than talent"

A, once, very good friend, who is a pretty well known poet, use to say that to me in private. William, ou've got both.

He use to taunt me after I mocked his self promotion: "This is not the century to pretend you're Emily Dickinson."

[44wax]

23. read the sig please

[pansypoo53219]

24. i

never felt the need to prove i'm cool.

[short bus president]

44. Man, I'm way too f*cking cool to waste my time on a thread like this.

Now where are those Star Trek and kinky sex threads???
