What A Fool Believes 

1. a euphenism that basically means that stupid ignoramuses will believe stupid things, or practically anything for that matter.

2. a 1979 #1 hit for the Doobie Brothers. It's on the album "Minute by Minute" and in the liner note pages there is a large picture of a half-smoked reefer, doobie. This is the DOOBIE Brothers we're talking about here, right? How about them apples?
1. My girlfriend Elaine calls me up on the phone. She talks with me about many things and she tells me that Mindy (my ex from the previous year) has gone back to George for the sixth time (she broke up with me to get back to HIM) and she told Elaine that "this time it's for real and forever". Suddenly I calmy reply with the line "what a fool believeeeessss...". Elaine starts laughing on the other end and soon I do too. Hey, I didn't think about it, I just said it.

2. Timmy just heard from talk radio that Obama is going to censor the airwaves, send goon squads to every house to take away ALL our guns, establish a "socialist" agenda for America that will govern every aspect of our lives, and other wildideas. Timmy eats this bullshit all up, every bit of it.

What a fool believes.

3. On a more tragic note, someone who got pink slipped in Pittsburgh shouted that ridiculous rumor about "Obama will take away all our firearms" before slaying four police officers. Look at what a fool believes and how it can lead to tragedy. Even if the rumor were true (it's been said by some rabble rousers at least TWICE since 1988, what did those cops in Pittsburgh, PA do to deserve getting mowed down like that? ZERO. See what untrue allegations can cause, what ignorant fools believe and how it can lead to bloodshed. Then read some history books and you can see what lies, fearmongering, ignorance, superstition can precipitate. We need to stop the madness yesterday.

4. Pat Robinson, a "Christian" minister known for his 700 Club (among other things) essentially put a price on the head of Hugo Chavez, saying that he was a "menace" and a "danger" and that we must "kill him". Now come ON! Chavez is just a blowhard, he can't maintain affairs at home. He's just making an ass of himself. He's no menace to us. Neither is Saddam Hussein (yes Saddam was a bastard but he was no threat to us, not by a long shot). Look how the sheep respond. What a fool believes.

5. the TV newsman reports that the "experts" now say that there's an "obesity epidemic" rampant in America, especially with children. Take a look around. Look in the ads in the magazines and Sunday papers. There are youth looking like what is now called "heroin chic". Who's kidding whom? It's probably another way to divert the public's attention from the problems and evils happening today. What a fool believes.

Hurricane Katrina 

an embarrassment for America that the entire planet, no, the entire UNIVERSE saw. It exposed the incompetence, stupidity and uncaring attitudes that have plagued the U.S.A. for a long time.
1.I saw TV coverage of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina had come and left. A TV news reporter was there, talking about gangs looting, shooting and causing trouble. Several thousands were without electricity, shelter, food, drink, medicine, restroom facilities and other essentials that were needed NOW. The reporter spoke about how the National Guard, Red Cross, disaster relief and others were "blocked" from entering the city because "the gangs were too violent and were preventing help from getting in". Yeah, right. The Guard and the relief could've mowed down them stupid gangstas with their large vehicles. There were some armored cars for Pete's sake! The sun had just set and the TV idiot talked about "the city descending into anarchy", and yet relief didn't get in for nearly a fucking week! This display of gross incompetence was seen all over the world and it showed in living color the incompetence, corruption and absolute STUPIDity rampant in America.

On top of that, some people elsewhere were saying "why should we rebuild New Orleans? It was built six feet below sea level!". Cretins! Ignorant IDIOTS! Then some people around here were distributing some boneheaded paper about "how God sent this hurricane to punish the city for having a "fag-fest" (I looked it up - it refers to "Southern Decadence". It's some sort of cultural fair for gay people. There's nothing kinky, bizarre or offensive about what the festival goers do there. It's pretty much a "cultural" pride celebration with many activities - none sexual). Then why don't God destroy San Francisco? I've been there and other cities have many gays.

Anyway, after relief FINALLY came to the Crescent City the residents were given pseudo-credit cards to make needed purchases. Soon the TV news broadcasts were showing some people abusing the relief cards to get their hair cornrowed, to get tattoos, buy TVs and more. Guess what color those few select relief fund wasters were?

You get one guess.

2. Dick Head: Looka them coons misusing their free ride from the government!

Me: *** POW!!! (I jack slap this moron on his concrete head so hard he falls out of the LaZ Boy chair and onto the floor). ***

Man, this ignorant, crass attitude really pisses me off BIG TIME! And all that time the geeky TV imbeciles who were looking for journalism awards later on were just standing around dumbly. But worst of all some of the American public were so callous, so crass, so comfortably dumb from years of indifference, ignorance, and a shit happens outlook (not to mention the showing of war as entertainment and the ignored recession)- this is a markedly vivid and clear case of what was wrong in America in the 21st century. The hairbrained response and media coverage of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath is a like a pus filled boil, worst than a zit. It's an absolute shame, an embarassment of the highest degree. A total disgrace. Complete unexcusable bullshit. No excuse whatsoever.

Juke Box Hero 

1. a star whose songs grab a lotta coins in a jukebox so those specific songs are played.

2. of course, the term is also the title of a 1982 hit by the band Foreigner. It's from their epic hit album "4" (yes, that's the name of the album!).
1. whenever I was in Papa John's pizza joint with a girlfriend or solo, I'd often put in 50 cents to play "Astronomy Domine" by Pink Floyd. It sounds like some sort of "rock'n'roll Star Trek". In that respect, Syd, Roger, Richard and Nick are juke box heroes.

2. When I saw Foreigner live, the concert concluded with "Juke Box Hero" and just before the coda there would be a smoke bomb exploding with a thunderous boom on stage and emitting green smoke.

Dirty Diana 

1. a woman who will do anything to get her hands on all "members of the band" and seduce them. She stalks stars and uses and abuses them. She's a very aggressive starfucker.

2. a #1 hit by Michael Jackson that hit the top during the spring and summer of 1988. It's the fifth #1 hit from his "Bad" album. It details a sort of paranoia edge.
1. When I was leaving the arena after a Van Halen concert there were two young cheap tarts who were in tight black dresses and had 10 gallon drums worth of make-up piled on their faces. A stage hand packing up equipment yelled to the two Dirty Diana wannabes: "They're all married. You can't get up here. Go home!". They turnedaround and left in a huffy way. Aw RATS!

2. Steve Stephens, guitarist for Billy Idol plays a "laser beam" effect solo on "Dirty Diana".

3. Dirty Diana, nah

Come on!

It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be 

1. a euphenism for someone to realize that something didn't happen, it ain't happening now and it never will.

2. a hit song from the summer of 1989 by Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin and her pupil Whitney Houston.
1. Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter recently said she "knows" the father of her child "loves" her and will "come back" to them some day. Anybody else surely knows about this "love" - it isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be.

2. Johnny lived with a girl in BFE. He slacked off and she worked all day to make some money for him. One afternoon he packed up and left her high and dry. Every evening she sits on the porch waiting for moocher Johnny to come back. It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be. He never gave a damn all this time.

Mary Jane 

1. one of many slang terms for marijuana.

2. a hit song by Rick James.

3. a hard candy (honest!). It can be found in nostalgic catalogs such as that of the Vermont Country Store.
1. Mary Jane is a very popular girl. I was at a Pink Floyd concert and sure enough she was there! The smoke got all over our clothes and hair. I never saw so much grass smoking in my life.

2. I saw Rick James and his Stone City Band ("stone", get it?) on the Dick Clark show on TV. They performed "Mary Jane". I was VERY young at the time, not even a teenager yet and I could tell that this wasn't simply a love song, this was about toking.

3. When I paged thru a catalog my mom got in the mail I saw 2 pages featuring old fashioned candy. There was Mary Jane hard candy. I got the giggling fits over that.

4. Mary Jane is the girl for me. I'm good to her and she is good to me....

5. Mareee Jayyynnee...

20th Century Foxy

it's slang term used in the later half of the 20th Century for a gorgeous person who is famous at the time.
1. when a young guy joined up at the Navy recruiter office (next to the Godfather's Pizza - pizza you can't refuse!) he posed under a large poster of Farrah Fawcet to get a snapshot taken. The poster showed her facing forward wearing a bikini! We all called her a 20th Century Foxy.

2. Carmen Electra, Cindy Crawford, Paulina Porizkova, Heather Locklear, all these chicks and more are 20th Century Foxies.
