1. my roomate Billy was outside our apartment on the steps during the evening. He was listening to a Heart album at max volume. As if that weren't enough he SANG along loudly to the loud music and it was so gawdawful bad the dogs down the block were all howling. I was inside watching cable TV and I had to turn it up. I still could hear his a crapella keening. YAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
2. Billy was listening to Tschovsky's "1812 Overture" in the next room at - you guessed it - max volume. No lyrics here ment no a crapella this time around. Alright!
3. A relative of mine wanted to see Billy Graham at the stadium and asked me to go with him. I said OK. We went on a Wednesday night. I wished we could've gone the next evening but he didn't have the time off. So instead of seeing Johnny and June Carter Cash as the musical guests we had stomach this wimpymilquetoast a crapella group called 4HIM. Too pedestrian, too "adult contemporary", too "clean", just plain nauseating. Yeeeccchhh.
4. Huey Lewis and the News sometimes do do-wop and all 3 times I've seen them live they've done an a capella number or two. Take 6 is a good harmony group also. No a crapella here.

Get the a crapella mug.1. On Independence Day 1996 a relative of mine came over and we went to the cinema to see the movie "Independence Day" (it opened on that day, of course) and it had cliches and stereotypes galore. For starters, the Vietnam vet character was a bum and big time substance abuser who could only "redeem" himself to society by giving his life in a suicidal mission against the alien invaders. Also the flick had every possible scene, landscape, plot device and catchphrase ripped off from every sci-fi thriller in the book. One actor even reprised a term he used in the excellent "Jurassic Park" blockbuster from a few years before. Of course, there were predictable jingoistic elements and the lack of originality deep-sixed that film all the way from the start. Man did it ever ess you cee kay.
2. From a concert review page in an alternative weekly newspaper in an Ohio city:
... early in the evening I got to see and review the white female funkateers Luscious Jackson at the Palladium. The ladies luscious showed some good skillful funk playing, 'cuz they can really git down. After that entertaining gig I had to go to Wolfgang's to catch the Detroit punk/metal/rap/whatever/wtf band Loud Mouth and man alive did they ever ess you cee kay. Ya dig it?

Get the ess you cee kay mug.1. a refreshing bubbly soft drink that is loaded with jet fuel!
2. the reason why the Beatles changed the name of their epic album to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

1. I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper, would you like to be a Pepper too? Be a Pepper. Drink Dr. Pepper.
2. Dr. Pepper got promoted to Seargeant.
3. Last year I got to listen to the entire Guns N Roses catalog online, including the too-often-delayed long-awaited-and-overdue new album "Chinese Democracy". It's a really good album, it kicks some major ass and has a lot of diversity in the songs. Just don't take so long next time, OK fellas?
After hearing the last track there was a link taking me to "drpepper.com". Dr. Pepper made a bet: if the new GNR album was released last year then EVERYONE in America would get a free drink. There was a time limit window for this, however. You had to hit a link to register in order to get a coupon (to be printed) good for a FREE 20 oz. bottle of Dr. Pepper. I couldn't get ON there! I was on hold FOREVER. Apparently so were many other people. The corporation heads decided to "extend" the time window by a few hours. When I FINALLY got on the desired page there was a message that said that I was too late - the window of opportunity had expired by 15 minutes! Lemme see, we have over 265 million people in the United States so that would mean how many drinks...

Get the Dr. Pepper mug.1. a stone
2. a piece of crack cocaine that is smoked
3. AKA "rock'n'roll". It's the ultimate form of musical expression. It's roots are in American, British and Irish folk, country and western (the classic stuff - NOT that poofy crap of today), jazz, blues, bluegrass and other sources. Pioneered by Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, King Elvis, Bill Haley + the Comets, the Beach Boys and many more. Expanded, further defined and influenced even more by British bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Kinks and German bands like Kraftwerk. Now rock music is listened to any performed by people in every nation. It's an American cultural phenominae that has shaped the world.
4. to be cool. To rule, to be bad.
5. In the U.S. Navy this word is jargon for flunking an academic test.

1. Billy threw a rock at a glass house. Next came the sound of glass shattering.
2. When the cops came in the apartment to make their dope bust Mikey put his crack pipe (with a rock in it) in the toilet bowl bottom hole. The police found it anyway and arrested Mikey.
3. Just gimme some of that rock'n'roll music. Any old way ya choose it.
4. The Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame is located in Cleveland, Ohio supposedly because the music got its name from a Cleveland slang term for sex.
5. Rise up! Gather round! Rock this place to the ground.
6. at a Rush concert someone behind me yelled, "GEDDY LEE, YEWWWW RAWHKK!". Because of the distance to the stage and the volume Geddy Lee and his Rush-mates Neil and Alex couldn't hear that, but they've been rocking for many years - they know.
7. Seaman Vincent: how did you do on the first Propulsion Engineering Basics test?
Seaman James: I aced it.
Seaman Vincent: Did you hear how Seaman Steve did? He ROCKED it!
8. that manufactured Britney/Xtina/NSYNC/teen pop garbage is NOT rock, it's a CROCK.

Get the rock mug.1. in the U.S. Navy a Cadillac is a metal bucket on wheels where you put a mop in to get it wet. Hanging on top, a little over the interior, is a metal hand-operated squeegie. This combination is referred to as a "Cadillac" or sometimes a "Caddy".
2. a luxury car made in America. It's long been a status symbol for many people. Not quite as ritzy as the UK-made Rolls Royce, however.

1. Get a Cadillac out of the storeroom, fill it up with water then bring it over here and mop up this mess in this room.
2. At an auto show I saw the Smithereens perform and later that evening I was in the car and the band members also entered the vehicle to check it out.
3. "Looka that Cadillac" - Stray Cats
"Slick Black Cadillac" - Quiet Riot
"Pink Cadillac" - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Get the Cadillac mug.a list of all the music concerts you have seen during your lifetime so far. It makes for vibrant conversation (and some boasting) at parties, reunions and other events. Some of the people you tell your tales to may be amazed, awed and/or envious of you.
1. When I was a teenager my folks wouldn't let me go to a show under any circumstances whatsoever, so in high school my concert resume was a total blank sheet. At a high school class reunion some of us were comparing concert resumes and many in my class were impressed with mine. It includes Foreigner, Def Leppard, Van Halen, U2, Huey Lewis and the News, the Ramones, Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd and more!
2. When I saw Rush for the first time the opening act was Mr. Big and boy did they ever suck big time. So lousy their set was that there were only about 60-odd drunken rowdies cheering them on, everyone else went under the seat tiers. I ran into Randy, Tom and John from my high school class and we talked about wives, girlfriends, kids, travel and concert resumes until the chumpy-ass openers finished their 40-minute set. Soon afterward Rush started performing and when they play you KNOW you're in for a treat!

Get the Concert Resume mug.a loudmouth obnoxious clown featured on a local TV show on the cool cartoon strip and TV Saturday morning series Garfield. Garfield the fat cat, on his cartoon show hosts the feature "Screaming With Binky", where Binky is known to come up behind you and scream "HEYYYYY KID!!!!" or something like that, just to startle you. He comes up to a kid building a sand castle and screams at him, demolishing the sand castle. He comes up behind a diamond cutter, screams at him, disrupting his concentration and making him mess up his work. Garfield, ever so sarcastic, finds Binky annoying.
Garfield switches on the tube because it's time to watch the TV show hosted by the obnoxious Binky the Clown.
