Cmon, Ask Slim Anything

[slim]

And yet you didn't cook for me, you are skin as hell, you do bathe a lot but some of your other hygiene practices were suspect (good thing you have been trained), you are kind of a douche and you have no money.

Define "have no money" I make more than you do per hour even with all your edumacation.

[Ikefromla]

Pretty sure SLIM is comfortable with that.

[slim]

maybe your ass needs to work more hours.

always with the technicalities...

[slim]

I'm not UNcomfortable with that. My poker game isn't suffering.

Slim,

What do you think of The Raconteurs?

[slim]

Slim,

What do you think of The Raconteurs?

They are above average. I'm not a huge fan of the White Stripes, but I listen to them from time to time. The Raconteurs' music is more original and distinctive than most of the drivel thats coming out of the recording industry right now. I'll go see em live if they come through the South. Then I will get back to you with a final verdict.

[Shaft]

I agree with your assessment, not a huge fan of the White Stripes, but I have listened to them and despite the hype, some of it rocks. The collaboration with the rest of the Raconteurs seems to have tempered a little of the Jack White screeching bullshit, but not all, activation of the "next track" button occurs frequently.

Recently listened to Icky Thump for the first time. I'm def a White Stripes fan, was enjoying the album. And then came the song "Conquest". What the hell was that? He needs to ditch the Racontuers and Dead Weather and focus on quality control.

What should I have for breakfast?

i am an unabashed jack white fan. AYHSMB. imo, all the stripes' albums following White Blood Cells have been quite varied in their context and influence. their first, de stijl, and WBC all are rather the same genre. elephant, satan, and icky thump were all drastically different from one another to me. all great in their individual sense.

[slim]

What should I have for breakfast?

Egg and chorizo breakfast burrito with all the trimmings.

[skav]

Your advice came too late. Went for bacon, eggs, and toast with black currant jam.

Sorry I let you down, but that sounds like an appropriate substitute...

why is it called the dirty south? seeing as how it rains almost daily that seems a bit off the mark. signed confused in nashville.

[hweight]

slim is apparently otherwise occupied (hopefully, et has made him into her wench--natch), so I'll take this one on:

Short answer: that rain is baptismal, washing our tainted souls.

Long answer:
1)Nashville isn't deep enough to be the dirty south. There's a lot of land south of it. Though Memphis, which is at about the same latitude, could be considered a part of the dirty south. How does that happen?

2) Well, it's about attitude: Nashville has less of it, in that Nashville isn't obsessed with the paradox fundamental to all of the dirty south: we're gross, orgiastic sinners who love--*love*--to indulge in sin. It's contradictory to the point of being nearly schizophrenic or at least cognitively dissonant. The Dirty South swaggers, even when it's making the walk of shame.

[KIX]

so then last nights hooker wasn't a dirty hooker?

[evil temptress]

Depends, was it niceporch's mom?

Sunday might be ok for climbing.

[zirc]

it is going to be ok here too.

I did kind of feel bad about that since I like joy. Somehow I imagine you guys were spawned from different moms.

[joy]

it's entirely possible given that porch doesn't look like anyone in the family ...
