1. That photo kills more brain cells than beer. nt

[olddots]

2. this planet is toast

[StandingInLeftField]

3. I seriously need to get out of this country....

...seriously.

[underpants]

6. Every time I saw the overalls and shaded straw hat last night I laughed

I understand authenticity but I also understand pandering.

[MisterP]

9. overalls with not a smudge on the knees?

[Faux pas]

4. What I got from this whole episode is

gays bad, inbreeding good.

[90-percent]

5. This thread could use a celebrity Zappa fan

<a href=".html" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt=" photo chrisse-fz.jpg"/></a>

Chrissy Hynde, from a recent feature on CBS.

Also - thanks for getting the quote correct. I've seen some meme's where "military industrial complex" is substituted, incorrectly, for "industry".

Also, FZ never ever said "So many books, so little time." He didn't like to read books. He said it made him sleepy.

7. “Government is the Entertainment division of the military-industrial complex.” - Frank Zappa

The fuller quotation gives the scene the necessary depth and flavor.

8. Oh how I miss the almighty FZ.

10. That might have overloaded even Frank's giant brain.

Where would he start?

Talk about a target-rich environment.

Molly Ivins would have had some big fun with that, too.

11. well, life on the farm is kinda laid back

[First Speaker]

12. I wish Mencken could see it...our country seems hardly to have changed at all since the 1920s...

...The Sage of Baltimore's descriptions of America back then could have come from our headlines today...

13. Yuck. What a disgusting display. nt.
