The LSD Hall of Fame my foundation has been trying to build for the past 30 years keeps falling down, so until then, can we get Dock into the Baseball Hall of Fame pronto? #drugs
"Because the no-hitter was the first game of a double header, Ellis was forced to keep track of the pitch count for the night game." [[en.wikipedia.org]]
There were famous photos of spiders on various drugs---normal web, the pot web---VERY messy and barely a quarter done--and the acid web, which was perfect and incredibly complex, like triple the strands the web would normally have. A web's web.
Yeah, if you want to pitch a no hitter, try acid. Nothing like it for shake-free, complete concentration. #drugs
Barbara Manning/The SF Seals have a song about the game called "Dock Ellis" Went to look for it on youtube -- it wasn't there, but damn, Mr. Ellis inspired quite a bit of music. Anyhow, found it on Manning's blog with along with links to a couple nice Ellis remembrances.
@Moonshine Mike: Back when I was cool, sometime near the beginning of W's first term, a couple members of her band crashed on my living room floor when they were coming through the Twin Cities. Manning was incredibly sweet -- very California, all sunshine and hugs, which is not what I had been expecting from the woman who recorded Scissors, but there ya go. I got a little snide about the jam band that opened for her, and this one song they had about a band of vikings dropping acid, and she said she wished she had heard it -- and told me about "Dock Ellis." I then felt like a jackass. Which I was. #drugs
As a Georgian, i hate our politicians. I actually like living here quite a bit. The burbs of atlanta have many of the charms of the south (manners! soul food! SWEET TEA!) without a lot of the retarded redneck stuff (because nobody in atlanta is from atlanta. seriously, almost nobody)
But our politicians suck so hard. All of them. Our current governor's response to our drought was to pray for rain. Saxby Chambliss, one of our two senators, took pictures of his opponent and superimposed them with images of 9/11 and osama bin laden in commercials. Oh, and his opponent was a vietnam vet who lost both legs in that war. Classy move Chambliss. We had the crazy screaming congresslady Cynthia McKinney who got asked for idea at the capitol and assualted a cop.
I could go on, but it really never ends here. I'll let my other Georgians fill in the rest of the stories if they wish. #cartoons
You laugh, but that rat video that wasn't even on TV is what gave Georgia to Sonny Purdue. [www.youtube.com]
Ugh, this gov election is going to be a real drag. #cartoons
As a Georgian, I can confirm that Oxendine is a Huge Fucking Douche. He recently proposed building a highway which would run directly through several historic intown Atlanta neighborhoods, all so people from the 'burbs could have an easier commute. Meanwhile, our public transit system is dying from lack of funding. #cartoons
@seriousbummer: Powerful enough to destroy historic neighbourhoods, graceful enough to provide a smooth ride to a suburban commuter's Navigator. #cartoons
