I propose trading Matthew Tuiasosopo and Ryan Feierabend for him

If it was Feierabend straight up for Griffey

and if the contract was restructured so we didn’t have to pick up his crazy-ass option for next season
and if Clement was made the starting catcher
and if Raul was moved into a 1B platoon with Richie

I’d do it in a heartbeat. Since this scenario will never happen, fuck it.

I love you more than fish love the sea,
but fish love the sea more than you love me.
You love fish more than I love the sea,
but I love the sea more than fish love me.

therefore -

Fish love you more than the sea loves me,
and the sea loves fish when fish love the sea.
I love the sea more than you love the sea,
and you see fish more than I love me.

Bayley wasn't that bad. Virtual XI was a decent album.

But more than that, Maiden’s first two albums – with Paul DiAnno on vocals – are tremendous. DIckinson isn’t all that makes Iron Maiden great.

But Steve Harris might be. He and Dave Murray are the only two guys who’ve been on every album.

Steve Harris essentially is the band.

I’m a fan of all their albums. Virtual XI and The X Factor get a bad rap due to blaze’s vocals, but i think the songs rule. One of my favorite maiden songs is actually from that era, The Clansman. Although, I prefer Bruce’s vocals to it.

I agree about the Di’Anno years. He had a great voice…that combined with Clive’s unique drumming makes Iron Maiden and Killers phenomenal albums.

Although, my favorite lineup is definitely Harris, McBrain, Smith, Murray, and Dickenson.

Also, Steve was depressed during the Blaze period, and you can hear it in the songs.

There are great live recordings of Blaze doing some of the earlier songs and they’re really good. Blaze’s live version of Afraid to Shoot Strangers is incredible.

Back in the early days of Napster I spent a lot of time tracking down Iron Maiden B-sides.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

I’ve always found this interesting

Cool

I’m also a big fan of Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order). The melodic bass on Bizarre Love Triangle always gets me ridiculously giddy.

Link is to some Final Fantasy video mash-up as I can’t find the full version elsewhere.

You know what would be cool?

When they finally invent wireless midi. Look at this tangle of wires. Sheesh..

That's why the multi-timbral synth was invented.

Gets ya partway there…

But, yeah.

And I LOVE New Order/Joy Division too…

What. The. Fuck.

Clever I suppose, but loses points for looking like something out of the Dirt Devil range.

That drink would make him puke

After all the gin he has consumed

As long as it leads to a toilet.

Sinks tend to get clogged.

Um, don’t ask me how I know this. :(

At my age I know to stop before puking is an issue

I don’t know how I know this, it’s just something I’ve developed. Even if I’ve been drinking for hours and I am completely falling-down drunk, if only have one or two sips left in the glass, I can somehow look at the glass and think “if I drink that I’ll puke” and I stop.

I also have developed that skill with age

However, I have a weak stomach. If I am drunk and I see something I think is gross, well it all comes up. Then I get sleepy.
