Jann Wenner's Infinite Playlist

I agree with this. If you aren't on Jann Wenner's infinite playlist, you aren't getting into the R&R HOF. It's a shame that the creator of what amounts to a fanzine is such an influential figure in determining what qualifies as Hall of Fame-worthy.

Meanwhile, Bono could cannibalize John Lennon's remains and fart and Wenner would save half of it in a tank to inhale Dennis-Hopper-Blue-Velvet-style on special occasions, and put the other half into an installation in Cleveland -- $25 a whiff.

The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time : Rolling Stone

Right here. Right here. This is why rollingstone is the biggest dumbass pieceofcrap masturbatory garbage in the world. Now, I'm not a die-hard Jeff Beck fan... but I appreciate him and understand why he's revered. So RS puts him # 14 on their "all-time greatest guitarist crap". That wouldn't be so bad in and of itself... but he's behind Curt Cobain, Kirk Hammet and Jerry Garcia!? Areyoufrikkingkidding me?! Are you really kidding me!? If Curt Cobain hadn't blown his own mouth clean off I'm sure he'd tell you that he wasn't a great guitarist....

And really... isn't rollingstone just a U2 fanzine anyway?

Thank god it's only a free subscription for a year...

Lexicon of words/phrases people use in professional settings when they are talking out of their asses

I am compiling a list of words/phrases that people use in professional settings when they want to sound like they actually know what they are talking about but are really just flatulating out of their mouths. Many thanks to my friends and family for helping me compile this list. Many more thanks to the scads of dipshits I suffer daily who have inadvertently contributed, and who will contribute, to the this ever-growing list.

Be that as it may..

It's state of the art!
Going forward we will blahbeeblah.
It's a teachable moment!

Let's agree to disagree

Rest assured*

So to speak*

What have you

This is just a start. The list is in its infancy, but rest assured (*oooh I'm gonna add that one), it will grow. The world has more mouth-farting morons than Carter's has liver pills, so to speak*. More to come, I'm sure.

Agreeance -- Why not just say, "I agree" you pompous windbag.

Irregardless -- not a fucking word. Period.

In this day and age -- what the hell does that even mean?

Moneys (or is it monies) -- We are anticipating, or are In receipt of (see next) monies (or is it moneys). --- Why? Just say "funds," or "money" -- does saying "monies" (or money) change the meaning in a way I don't know about?

In receipt of -- No, asshole. You received it. Or how about you just got it. I am in receipt of a four-alarm assache from your dumbasity.

I could care less? -- Well I am glad. Because if you could care less than I guess you care some. Maybe you mean you couldn't care less. Fucktard.

It is what it is. -- No shit Dick Tracy. How hard to you have to work to figure that one out? Don't waste the involuntary fluctuations of my tympanic membrane on your inane utterances. Turdburgler.

Let's agree to disagree. -- No asshole. That's a mobius strip of dumbasity.

It's a teachable moment. -- Can we change that to a punchable moment?

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that. -- Does adding extra words compensate for your lack of backbone you flaccid wad of suck?

And what have you...
