My guess is that real sports nuts (even rock n rollers) do all their posting on sites geared to sports, and that most of us here care more about music than sports.
I caught a brief bit of an interview of Kobe Bryant on Sportscenter yesterday where a reporter asked him "Do you feel confident about these next two games in your home court?" or something along that line, and he just gave him a 30-second shit-eating grin with his face in his hand before saying "No, I don't feel confident at all about playing tonight" basically throwing the insipid question right back in the reporter's face. All sports press conferences have become a waste of time in this modern age, with nothing but predictable rote questions and predictable rote answers. An athlete would have to be falling-down drunk to give any kind of entertaining or brutally honest answer.
And yes, Boston laid an egg. And will probably lose the final, as well. Unless Kobe really isn't confident. We saw how that played out last night!

Did this group just start and that's why there are only 6 people or no one gives a shit about sports here?  What a humiliating game the Celtics played last nite and I think a lot of us thought that if they didn't do it in 6, they won't do it at all.  No one could do anything.  Fingers crossed for Thursday.

I'm a huge American football fan. Can turn on any game and enjoy it but obviously being from Boston, am a Patriots fan (and was a long time Giants fan too growing up in VT and for many years here until the Patriots became a dynasty). Basketball is next, soccer, hockey, tennis, swimming, lacrosse............And then there's baseball.

I love all of his creations but I would have payed to see Ed do a rat rod... I don't know why but I think it would look great...

I'm going for the trolley/kart thing by The Beatnik Bandit II. I don't know if Ed Roth made it but it looks cool and dangerous, my type of transport.

I vote the Beatnik Bandit, great scallop (I guess they qualify as scallops still) paint job, the bubble top (was this a first on this car? can't remember if Starbird also toyed with plexiglass domes.) The single joy stick control. It's a classic in my book.

Outlaw would be number two, although I guess it was more ground breaking for its time than the Bandit.

I really(!!!) like the OUTLAW. Lots of classic HOT-ROD style, a bit of the futuristic touches of the others, LOTS of chrome. I could see myself in that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to choose. Original Outlaw and Beatnik Bandit or the Yellow Fang in '76 because it was actually raced.

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth created some amazing custom-made vehicles in his day, not to mention the iconic RAT FINK character and all those crazy T-shirts... but what's your favorite car that he built?

The Mysterion?

The Orbitron?

The Outlaw?

The Surfite?

The (original) Beatnik Bandit?

The Beatnik Bandit II?

The Road Agent?

...or something else?

I think I'd have to go with the Mysterion, which we actually got permission to include on the show poster for my old radio show, The Wayback Machine.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! And Page thought his triple-neck guitar was cool.

I never even heard of this one. I'd like the chance to play it.

"The Voxmobile was designed and built by George Barris, and stands as one of his more bizarre contrivances. Along with such tastefully created objets d'art as the Bed Buggy, Munster Rod and Batmobile, Barris seemed to be the source of every custom car on film, TV and album cover at the time. This car, designed as a rolling promotional piece for the VOX products, and including working amps, keyboards and guitar racks, was supposed to co-star with Jack Nicholson in the Richard Rush-helmed acid trip film Psych-Out, but its dramatic debut was left on the cutting room floor, and Nicholson would never return its calls despite saying that he felt they really connected while on the set."

I can't believe it really exists...something about genius!

Quite possibly thee coolest custom hot rod ever built (by George Barris, of course)!

Check out how this car looks today at Voxmobile.com.

Hell yes, the Zombie Survival Guide really rocks! At first I had to laugh at how serious and real this book is written, but after a while I was thinking, "Wow, could I reach my car? Have I enough weapons and food? Would I ever see my family again?" And away went sleep for that night...

It's so cool!

I've never owned a bike, but I still love checking this site out every so often; The Jockey Journal, sister site to the Jalopy Journal (cars). http://www.jockeyjournal.com/

K.J. Rowland's ghetto blaster:

dude, if my shit gets any louder, my ears will be useless. maybe you need some new gear.

Hey! We all get a little frustrated with our knob from time to time.We get to ten then it explodes! One can try and coax a little more out of it,but you do run the risk of snapping it off. Ha Ha

ummmmmmmm

You should scrape off the the numbers and relabel them so it goes to 12.

I tried to watch the first morning, Mexico vs S. Africa, but soon gave up due to annoying-as-fuck vuvuzela bee-swarm noise. Went back to doing chores, such as vacuuming and lawn-mowing, which were less nerve-racking.

Germany is always good. No surprise they easily handled the first match.

After watching some games this weekend I'm going for Germany to win it. every other team looked half asleep!

DammitDave says : "I've been at some shows that I've missed by boozehoundery. Does that count?"

Hmmm, you've quite well summed up my stupid life !!! Shall I thank you ?

I've never been too drunk to miss the gig but I have missed gigs because of friends trying to choke on their own vomit, flakes.

I do remember being very off my face and trying to watch the Blues Explosion. I had to lean on the bar keep drinking heaps of water to stay conscious. I couldn't see the band because my vision was cutting out after about 3 or 4 metres, it sounded good and I was apparently shaking my ass around in some kind of vein attempt to dance. I remember locking eyes with a local TV personality while he was standing at the bar and blowing him a kiss, giving him some kind of sexual gesture with my tongue and then winking at him every time he turned around to order another drink. I think security removed me just before the encore.
