Gator Wing Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 I think Ted was just playing with words and being humorous, and most definitely not being a bigot. There are two theories about arguing with a woman. Neither one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Nope, I'm a fucking bigot. I'm bigoted against people that don't understand humor. I don't hate Mormons. I have friends that are Mormons. Guess you're not one of 'em. I'm a Seventh Day Adventist. I didn't get all upset when whoever posted that joke about Seventh Chord Adventists. I thought it was funny. Lighten up. Life's too short for me to weigh every word wondering about who I'm pissing off. Nobody seems to worry whether they're pissing me off, so why should I? I hate everyone equally. HAHAHAHAHA...

Jimmy James Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 I'll take Sugar Blue over James Harmon any day! That greasy California pompadour jump stuff ain't nasty enough for me. Blue is about personal expression and goes beyond The Masters or how many SRV licks you can cop. Now, you can cop Bloomfield! That's ok! Lol!!! Blues is a huge umbrella. It includes Uptown, Downtown, Gutbucket, Chicago, Texas, New Orleans, Kansas City, Delta, and everything in between. To me it's about finding your own voice within the form and not wearing what someone else has already done on your sleave. Thank God for the Blues Police to guide us. Yes, and I will be sweep picking during "The Thrill Is Gone." ------------------ http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/144/oscar_jordan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Wing Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Originally posted by Tedster: Remember that hilarious thing that was going around on the web a bit ago...like, Blues death...shot by angry wife being discovered with another woman Not a blues death...committing suicide in your 4 car garage by leaving your BMW running. Or something to that effect...The bit about a blues name being (infirmity) (name of fruit) (President's last name) so you had like "Cripple Kiwi Buchanan" or something? Here is the list Ted was referring to in his post: Writing the Blues - A Starter Kit 1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..." 2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, 'less you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town." 3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound." 4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch-ain't no way out. 5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the runnin'. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die. 6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis. 7. Blues can take place in New York City, but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain. 8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chompin' on it is. 9. You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster. 10. Good places for the Blues: a. highway b. jailhouse c. empty bed d. bottom of a whiskey glass Bad places: a. Dillard's b. gallery openings c. Ivy League institutions d. golf courses 11. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be an old person, and you sleep in it. 12. Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if: a. you older than dirt b. you blind c. you shot a man in Memphis d. you can't be satisfied No, if: a. you have all your teeth b. you were once blind but now can see c. the man in Memphis lived d. you have a 401K or trust fund 13. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues. 14. If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are: a. cheap wine b. whiskey or bourbon c. muddy water d. nasty black coffee The following are NOT Blues beverages: a. Perrier b. Chardonnay c. Snapple d. Slim Fast 15. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse, and dying lonely on a broken-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or getting liposuction. 16. Some Blues names for women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie d. Fat River Dumpling 17. Some Blues names for men: a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Big Willie 18. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis. 19. Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see 'a' above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Kiwi,etc.) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore,etc.) For example, Blind Lime Jefferson, Jakeleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.") 20. I don't care how tragic your life: if you own a computer, you cannot sing the blues.
