puke puddle 

a puddle of puke. A pile of bullshit. A bundle of lies.

"Stick it out
Don't swallow the poisssonnn.
Spit it out
Don't swallow the lies..."

RUSH

Dogs go back to a puke puddle and lick it all up. Trained Pavlov dogs who can't think for themselves keep falling for all the bullshit coming from snake oil salesmen, corrupt politicians, money-stealing gurus, rip-off artists and more. People need to start thinking on their own and quit lapping up puke puddles.

Action Jackson 

1. a title of a hit movie that came out around 1988. It is a parody of the James Bond films, which are a spoof in their own right in the first place.

2. Action Jackson got his nickname because he was spooted in his beat (off).

1. The film "Action Jackson" made quite a bit of moolah during the hot summer of 1988.

2. Action Jackson wants to go to town for some action but he has to work overtime so he...

Norwegian Wood 

1. a tune by the Beatles that is notorious for possibly being the first rock'n'roll hit that prominently features a non-Western instrument - in this case the sitar. The lyrics describe the evolution of an extra-marital affair that John had that was now over. Paul sang the words. The title phrase is a play on phonetics - the line "knowing she would" in the lyrics was considered to be too risque for radio so that phrase was replaced by "Norwegian Wood". If you ask me, that sounds even more "risque" or at least funny to me!

2. what you get after a night of laying with a Norwegian woman.

1. in my college class of "Art and Music of the Post-WWII Era" one day our professor played "Norwegian Wood" as an example of the Beatles' contribution to music and culture. She explained the meaning behind the lyrics and then asked us, "Does anybody know why it's called 'Norwegian Wood'?". I think "Norwegian girl, woody...", then I start laughing. She says, "I hear some giggling back there!"

2. Garry laid a young Norwegian waitress he met at a restaurant. The next morning he woke up with Norwegian Wood.

Smoke and Coke 

In the U.S. Navy, in some commands, this is a term meaning "break time". You can use the head (restroom), have a smoke, drink a cola drink, share a joke, talk about anything. AKA "Coke and Joke".

We're in a specialty school and it's 1 o'clock. Time for a Smoke and Coke.

ABACAB 

when the band Genesis was putting an album together in 1981 they took a series of musical notes located somewhere in a song (BACABA) and reversed it. The reversed notation became the new album's title. It was released that fall and hit the top 10 around the world. Hits from the album included "No Reply", the title track, "Man On the Corner" and "Keep It Dark", which is about an alien contact experience (honest!). The other tracks are really good as well. ABACAB's success showed that Genesis had become a major multi-platinum force for the new decade.

During the winter of 1982 the song 'ABACAB' scored on the charts. The title is pronounced "ah-buh-cab". So how do you write a song with that title? It's just a strange nonsence word, so it was used in a call and response method in the chorus. The rest of the lyrics make absolutely no sence whatsoever, the whole song's lyrics really add up to saying nothing. Still, that's much better than the cookie cutter manufactured method of songwriting used by so many people today (all this generic "baby baby baby" stuff - bleccch!). Yet the song is very tuneful, it's quite complex (this is Genesis, after all), and it became another huge hit for the band. Check out the entire album, it's really that good!

as old as the Rolling Stones 

Quite simply, since the "World's Greatest Rock'N'Roll Band" is still around today (they formed in 1962), they still put out great albums ("A Bigger Bang" is REALLY good!), they still deliver great shows (I saw them live in 1997), as well as the fact they invented hard rock which set the foundation for many more styles like heavy metal, punk rock and more, and most of the original rock'n'rollers are either dead (Chuck Berry and Little Richard are exceptions) or the original superstar bands are disbanded then this term refers to age and generations. Yet the Stones still draw in so many fans of all ages because they're still vibrant and alive despite their years. Because of their legendary ground-breaking status the Rolling Stones are also nicknamed the Granddaddies of Rock'N'Roll, or similar appelations.

I saw Live 8 on TV. I saw Will Smith do a brief set and up next was the psychedelic rock powerhouse Pink Floyd. Of the four musicians, bassist Roger Waters looked the best - he sported a shock of gray hair, yet he still had all his hair. On the other hand, what hair guitarist David Gilmour had left was thinning and nearly white and he had a paunch. Drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright (R.I.P.) had their hair salt and pepper laced with gray. Still, they played really well. It's sad to realize that this was to be the last Pink Floyd show ever but this unforgettable evening was a wonderful way for the band to make their fare-dee-well. After I saw this I switched off the boob tube and told my folks about it outside. I had seen Pink Floyd live in 1994 and they looked different (older) in 2005. My dad said "What do you figure? Pink Floyd is as old as the Rolling Stones". Well, Pink Floyd DID form before I was born. Who will carry the torch? Richard Wright, R.I.P.
