Elwood: It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it
Suzanne!!!
Heh, Suz!!!
Suzanne! Most excellent!
Dos?
hey neuro, got your sunglasses with ya?
Nope.
“Hit it!”
Hi Suz!
i LOVE this video.. its got all kinda clips from the movies. I was originally looking for the chase at the end with this song and found this. Has all the chases (hehehehe)
hey suzanne!
hey newton. i’m still enjoying that cheesecake.
“hey neuro, got your sunglasses with ya?”
You bet. I can’t see a thing!
excellent, neuro. does that mean you got dibs on driving?
Hi Suz,
Found those suckers (horribly expensive prescription sunglasses) at the bottom of my work bag, we have few days of sunshine here in Cleveland (but, did have some today even with snow). Listening to Andy M. Stewart right now.
Cool, Suz!
I can’t believe that movie came out 25 years ago. Doesn’t seem possible.
“excellent, neuro. does that mean you got dibs on driving?”
Sure, as long as you don’t bust me…
Er, wasn’t that just YESTERDAY?
Suzanne!
Sprout loves Jake and Elwood, wanted, for a few days, to be one of them or Halloween this year.
Hey all.
That’s what I thought.
Hi Hmmmmm.
Hey
neuro, i figure we are ok as long as they don’t have SCMODS.
Who’s bringing the music?
I still think I’m an undergraduate — at 55.
Of course it was just yesterday!
What a great movie.
What do you like?
good guestion, neuro? “We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline”
Some SoulMan to start with?
I’ve been sick with some crud the last couple of days, which is why I haven’t been here lately.
Read something the other day that kinda cheered me up. It’s a chinese horoscope forecast for 2007, the year of the pig.
Chinese Astrology.
The way I see it, the repugs will keep digging thmselves in deeper, and the good guys will keep busting them on it. Eventually, it will sink in to most American’s heads that the R party is bad for our democracy.
It’s got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it’s got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
Aykroyd slays me!
If I remember my trivia right, Blues Brothers was the first tv skit to spawn a movie and then a sequel. Of course, that could be totally wrong but that is how I remember it.
“What do you like?”
“Some SoulMan to start with?”
OK, that sounds good…and whatever it leads to.
Editorial: A Key Moment for Justice
from NYT > Opinion
A case before the Supreme Court offers a chance to redress an enormous wrong done by President Bush and Congress when they denied justice to a group of prisoners.
Think
Fix the cigarette lighter.
Star Wars, Blues Brothers style
Ha Ha! Out the window.
Well, I finally had to register, just to say that!
Thanks.
Did you get me my Cheez Wiz, boy?
I was sure someone would beat me to it.
glad you joined us, tortoise. welcome to the Lake.
I want to buy your women… the little girl… your daughters. Sell them to me. Sell me your children.
” Don’t you blaspheme in here!”
Tell him, Aretha!
Thanks Suzanne
I have seen the light.
Uh, Suz, I think ya dove off the deep end… *g*
Do you see the light?
uh, ct, dear, that’s a line from the movie.. the restaurant scene.
You guys so crazy — love to be here. Thanks Suzanne.
Oh gods, i was 5 when that came out. I remember watching it on tv rerun AND VHS more than once. I liked the music as was too young for the jokes. Until i got a little older…then i laughed my ASS off. XD
You are most welcome, ChristineE. I’m pretty jazzed about getting to do this – trying to find music ya’ll will like.
We were in graduate school when Belushi and Akryord were our favs — Saturday Night Live was new, and the night we drank beer and laughed our asses off. What great days they were.
Christine, am I right in thinking that you’ve been to France?
I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.
DB!!!
All these reminders that i’m still a youngin’ compared to you guys, yet a lot older yet than Cassie. *grins*
*grooves to some Count Basie for the sheer joy of it*
Yes’m! But, if one didn’t know any better… *g*
You contemptible pig! I remained celibate for you. I stood at the back of a cathedral, waiting, in celibacy, for you, with three hundred friends and relatives in attendance. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterers in the state. To obtain the seven limousines for the wedding party, my father used up his last favor with Mad Pete Trullo. So for me, for my mother, my grandmother, my father, my uncle, and for the common good, I must now kill you, and your brother.
Yes, we are such Francophiles it is disgusting. My husband had a Fullbright for a year and we lived there with GUSTO. Sigh, I LOVE France.
I have seen the light!! The Band elwood. The band.
Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers HAS been approved.
So ….. THIS is what my surgeon is suggesting rather than a disk fusion.
Groove, baby, groove! And send music because I can’t.
Hiya Mommybrain, hiya ChristineE… sorry for the lag, we’re watching Catch-22 at the same time over here!
Christine, it’s good to know my memory hasn’t completely given up. I ask because my husband is going there for a course in January. He’ll be there a month, then Scotland a month and then, maybe, another week or so in France. He asked if I want to join him for some of the time. I’m keen to go but I HATE cold weather. Mr Persi’s course is somewhere in the south of France. Would it be worth going in March or would I freeze to death?
Hi Dover!
tex, fingers and toes crossed ya get the tingles instead of pain from it.
“We were in graduate school when Belushi and Akryord were our favs — Saturday Night Live was new, and the night we drank beer and laughed our asses off. What great days they were.”
We were/are the coolest generation. Heh.
Hola TexBetsy!
Buyer beware!
mary mcc, every monday at work was all about SNL’s show.
[Police have surrounded the Blues Brothers concert] … And we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois’s law enforcement community that have chosen to join us here in the Palace Hotel Ballroom at this time…
Muddy Waters and special guests
This is what i’m listening to right now. I dug up a bit of the Swing/Big Band stuff i played for one of my first Second Life gigs as a DJ. It reminded me just how much i love this older era of music and respect that it presaged the modern pop by a LONG shot. But it was the start of the 3 to 5 minute ’single’ per se. ^^
Orange whip? Orange whip?
Three orange whips!
I have had NO back surgeries. Doc told me the other week I have a “young and virgin back”.
Persi,
By the month of March, every cafe will have heaters outside for cafe dining. They are fantastic. I’ve never been in the south of France (OMG can you believe that?) but am longing to be there. Listen, this is a dream and take advantage of this AND Scotland. Do. NOT. Hesitate.
I saw that movie once when it was new. Watched it on video 1/2 time. Tried to show it to the kids later, ’cause they liked Ghost Busters, but they missed it – they were in grade school. One of my son’s friends watches it again and again and….
I’ve sure played a lot of the songs in it in one group or another, though.
Jake: About our money for the night.
Bob: That’s right. Uh, $200, and you boys drank $300 worth of beer.
ET, I showed the kids “Blues Brothers” and they were bored. Didn’t get the appeal.
You want I should wipe the dead bugs off the windshield, ma’am?
Heh, ‘virgin’, eh? ;-)
SUZ!
I’d hit that, metaphorically speakin.
*G*
Workin now, n sleepin earlier, n missin trash talkin mods and their wiley and wilsome and winsome ways!
. . . best to you Suz, and yours, with great respect, love, devotion and surrender to the snark side!!! LOLOLOL
HIT IT!!!
What do you think, TexBetsy? It sounds much simpler than a spinal fusion, but will it work on your problem?
Suz!!!
My bodyguard had spinal cord stimulation inserted. It was OK when he was at home, but he works on tugboats, and he couldn’t be mobile and do manual labor, so he had fusion. He has to exercise his lower bsck a lot – and carefully – but he’s pretty pain-free now.
*giggles at the lot of you guys quoting the movie*
I have friends that can do that for that movie too, but the one i know word by word is Wayne’s World. ^^ Utterly cheesy and not quite as happily classy as the Blues Brothers is. But, i can’t forget seeing WW in theatre and just laughing, and memorizing half of it on the spot.
Me too!
If you insist Christine, I’ll go. I’ve never been to Europe before so it’s exciting. I’d better start brushing up on my French. I keep walking around the house, teasing my husband. “French France, ooh la la!”. He’ll be busy at his course but we have friends in England I’d love to visit too.
larue! dood, i was getting worried when i had not heard from ya.
Still all connected to SNL
‘course! With yet another of the duo being canadian too. XD
Apparently I failed my diskogram. After all that pain and grief, at didn’t show that the constant pain I have is related to the herniated disks. Surprise and disappointment to me.
Good night, all. My stuffy head is telling me to go lie down. Hope to be back tomorrow.
sleep well OtherWA
I just hope you get some relief soon, whatever the doctors decide to do. {{{Texbetsy}}}
When we knew we would go to France in (on never mind) I put a post it on everything from the TV to the sofa and the bed, trying to identify everyting in terms of nouns. Little did I realize that life experience living in Paris for a year would change everything, in my life.
tex, i wish it wudda worked for you, but it is much better to find out now rather than the old way and finding out after the surgery.
Long time lurker – delurking to note: Tom Petty doing Super Bowl halftime show: http://tiny.cc/B937u
“TP: I’m just … You don’t have a great deal of time. I’m trying to, right now, figure out how much material I can squeeze into that short space of time. I think that whatever you do you probably have to edit yourself a bit. I doubt we’d do a medley. We’ve never done a medley and I can’t picture us doing one. It’s not the kind of band that can remember a medley.”
I’m on dial up or I’d find a Utube to go with this…
Great to see Suzanne doin’ Late Night (and, yes, I did follow TRex over to the new place).
Oh no. What’s the next step, TexBetsy?
VERY true!
The other movies my girls and I would do the dialoge to were The Princess Bride and their favorite, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
hey marcus. glad to see you delurk. i saw that on the teevee yesterday – i’m thinking it was a news show maybe?
Hmmmm, darvocet up to 4x a day and scheduling an appt to get a trial of one of tthese. http://www.webmd.com/back-pain…..-back-pain
The Princess Bride i could and still CAN do. Sadly, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was never that appealing to me. But the snark in Princess Bride? PRICELESS
I hope you get really good results, TexBetsy.
alias, both my girls would watch Ferris and do the entire dialog back and forth. Perfect match including tonal. Spooky almost.
Hoochie Coochie Man
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die.

It feels like 65* here… we’re in an island of fog…just about ready to jump into a pink bubble bath but wanted to let y’ll know that Venus enters Scorpio at 4:22 AM so the tenor of things will change from breezy friendly and upbbeat to a bit darker, more secretive, and maybe a leetle sexier with extra mystery
…and we might want to be alone
thanks for the heads up, and enjoy your pink bubble bath, spidey.
…enjoy the chocolate eclairs I left on the hood of the car

Perks up…
Chocolate hippy eclairs?? Cheesecake!
Oh Carol

Welp, we’re heading off to bed to read off of paper rather than screens for a while before konking out. Thanks all for your company again, and sweet dreams to all.
Hmmm.
g’nite hmmm
AHA! Finally dug up my copy of The Golden Compass (the book of course!) for a quick and happy reread before the movie starts on Friday. I finally had a good solid amount of time to look at the trailers and i can’t WAIT. *flails and grins*
Now? To take my med and wander off to bed, to get through the next workday. *shoves book into winter coat pocket to take with*

Some day someone is going to be tricky enough to do a “medley with a message” – taking bits and pieces from their songs to spell out a real political theme thats a poke in the eye to the Bushies. It would be great that some supposed “non-political” musician or band could re-write their songs to be quite political and it wouldn’t even be noticed by those that weren’t really listening.
I took the liberty of bullshitting you.
it wasn’t a lie, it was bullshit.
