Pamela Des Barres 

Pamela Des Barres (formerly Miller) was born in the right place at the right time. She came into the world as a California native, in the amazing 60's. She loved rock 'n' roll from the moment she saw Elvis Presly. After Elvis, she fell for Paul McCartney. After The Beatles, it was The Rolling Stones. Then a friend of hers introduced her to Captain Beefheart, the first real live "rock star" she ever met. She had fallen for rock stars, and, well wanted to please them. She got what she wanted. She slept with rockstars such as Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, Jimmy Page, Noel Redding, and Mick Jagger, among others.

She had an all girl band, one of the first all girl rock bands, the GTO's. (GTO stood for many things, on of which is Girls Together Outrageosly)
Finally, she settled down with rocker Michael Des Barres. She soon after had a son, Nick Des Barres.
I'm With The Band: Confessions of a Groupie was her first tell-all book. She has written 3 other books, Take Another Little Piece of My Heart: A Groupie Grows Up, Rock Bottom: Dark Moments in Music Babylon and Carved in Rock.
Pamela Des Barres was a very stylish girl.

Combat Barbie

A Combat Barbie is a hard as nails girl who looks hot. She is the kind of girl who wears designer clothes but doesn't care if she drags them through three feet of mud to get a taxi home. Even so when she wears anything it appears to be an item of designer clothing, even when it is not. She exudes confidence and has brains as well as looks.

She is intimidating and may be taller than an average girl. Even though she probably wears makeup she just looks naturally stunning. She can kill with just a look. The air observed by a man that receives mere attention, a grope, a kiss or full sexual contact from a Combat Barbie is that of gratitude. Men and women worship her even though they know she will tread on them.

A Combat Barbie will generally be found few and far between and are generally prized girlfriends, worshiped from afar and envied by other girls. A Combat Barbie will usually not be a gossip and unlike her antithesis the Bimbo does not generally associate with a large group of girls similar in appearance to herself. However a Combat Barbie will always be a topic of conversation for others, most of these people do not have the confidence to talk to her personally. Unlike the Bimbo the Combat Barbie is not needy, may have a place in many friendship groups and can easily talk to others from seemingly totally different groups as she is not threatened by difference.

It is easy for a Combat Barbie to become self obsessed. She is usually at some points in her life the target of hate campaigns or sabotage by others who envy her. These two things can easily be her undoing and can lead her towards behaving more like a Bimbo or losing her confidence at which point her status may be lost.

A true Combat Barbie usually has solid family and friends who help keep her head on the ground. She will be unaware of most of the things said about her unless she becomes famous. Without a strong support system and someone who reality checks her, a Combat Barbie can loose her status easily. To be a Combat Barbie is a position of social and sexual power, which can be short-lived. It involves maintaining an almost sociopath disregard for what others think and at the same time social game playing at an expert level.
"Watch out she's some combat barbie!" <indicating to a friend he will have to lift his game to get this girl to go near him>

Ted to Tim "you think you're going to shag that girl you were chatting to at the bar tonight?"
Tim to Ted <shrugs to show he's not too sure> "She's one combat barbie. I'll be so lucky".

"Wow princess you a combat barbie!" <an exclamation of surprise when a girl who with an incredibly groomed appearance does something which shows she's tough/strong/resourceful/intelligent.>

Ross: “Nah Chardine was way too much of a Combat Barbie if you know what I’m saying. She kept coming out with all that stuff, it made me look like a fool. I didn’t work this hard to be a Dr and then have some bitch make me feel like that. I want me a fine little nurse who’ll look good on my arm – u know what I’m sayin!”.
<they handslap then sit down to watch the game>
Pete: “You know everyone’s saying Chardine wasn't into you”
Ross: “Erm…”
Pete: “Isn’t she seeing that brain surgeon from New Zealand?”
Ross: “Well…”
Pete: “I saw her with the dude yesterday. I didn’t know you n Chardine were serious!” <laughing> “what was it man? Like one date”.
<they sit silently for a moment>
Pete: "did you even get in her pants? I would love get near that tight ass!".

"I gotta get me that Combat Barbie, I'm done with these bimbos. When I get her I'm gonna marry her".

Barrel Roll

The act of chugging LIQUOR and liquor only from a handle on command when the proper phrase "Do a barrel roll!" is used.
Dave yelled to Teague, "DO A BARREL ROLL!" and Teague proceeded to chug half the handle of vodka.

syd barrett 

Syd Barrett was the original singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the group. Yep, I think everyone else pretty much hit the nail on the head, except for a few points.

Many artists have acknowledged Barrett's influence on their work. Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend were early fans; Jimmy Page, David Bowie, Brian Eno, and The Damned all expressed interest in working with him at some point during the 1970s. In fact, Bowie recorded a cover of "See Emily Play" on his 1973 album Pin Ups. On a VH1 program, honoring rock bands and artists, Pete Townshend gave a speech honoring Syd Barrett, and telling a story where he told Eric Clapton that he had to come see this guy play, who was Barrett. Townshend called Barrett legendary. Barrett as a guitarist was remarkable for his free-form style in playing chords (and also for the use of echo, tapes and other effects): his rhythm guitar, as well as his often minimalist and dissonant solos, are seen even today as a major influence on punk, post-punk, and similar scenes.

Syd died on July 7th, 2006 due to "complications arising from his diabetes." It has been said that the family specifically did not want the remaining members of Pink Floyd to attend the funeral, as they blamed them for Syd's downward cycle.

Syd Barrett was a very unique and influential musician. Shine on you crazy diamond . . . you will be missed . . . :]
