215: Letters to the Editors

[Keith]

"Thank you for your quality letter, Sick Fuck."

[mblaze]

hahaha. Is that Coretta Scott King's sister?

"Are you ready for some football????"

Great Superbowl coverage! Funny.

[mikke c]

awsome show, but fuck that fucking old piece of shit who wrote that fucking shit letter critisizing you about the fucking dumbest fucking shit, what a fucking dumb fuck old piece of shit. how can you say you listen to a few episodes here and there and write in with a fucking essay about what is wrong with the show (which there isn't). anyway great show and fuck that old guy

[Bucho]

How huge is sport that the biggest rock band in history is only a support act? No matter how big you get in the performing arts (and there's no-one in the movies up there with the Stones) you still come second to the sweathogs.

And who wants to see the black bass-player-for-hire not-even-a-true-Rolling-Stone when the biggest fruit in rock and the two coolest cats in rock are on the stage. If anyone's gonna be pissed off about being ignored it should be Ron Wood. At least he's the genuine article.

Awesome to see Philip Seymour Hoffman getting the big paydays. First time I noticed him was in Boogie Nights as Scotty. That scene where he shows Dirk Diggler his new trans am which is exactly the same as Dirk's then he tries to kiss him ... "fuckin idiot, fuckin idiot, fuckin idiot" ...I new he was destined for greatness.

The bit about Keith's swimming pool fuckup gave me flashbacks. In the surf one big day I'm paddling out and I get it wrong. Next thing I'm in the rinse cycle thinking what a dick I am for screwing up a simple paddle out and I hope no-one saw. Next minute I'm thinking wait, why haven't I come up for air yet, it's big but it's not 20ft Oahu. Then I'm thinking holy fuck I'm gonna drown here and it's not even the result of a heroic wipeout, it's almost comical. And when your life flashes before your eyes it's not like in the movies where you see the major moments from birth til present, it's actually your life in the present ... mostly relationships. Then the wave finally lets you up just as you're choking on the salty water you tried to breath in that last beyond-desperate moment ... and you're 200 feet from shore, there's no lifeguards, and the next wave in the set is two seconds away from detonating on your head. Then you try to remember all the promises you made to God under the first wave.

Recreational sport my ass.

haha. That is not fun. I was in Barbados (Duppies), the place is in front of a cliff and there is only 1 place to enter and exit from. I was 100 yards to the right of that place in this crazy soup. Not a drowning situation more of a "this 100ft. wall is coming at me really quick". If I paddle to the right which is the way the current was going and would be easy, I go around the corner of the cliff out into the ocean. I had to get left and it was only a short distance but extremely frustrating and not fun getting cut up as you get brushed along the wall. Surfing Maycocks was fun though.

Old Man Letter (bastard is only 45 i bet) I sort of agree with his point about Keet talking to fast on the CD. I thought about that the first time I heard it. But now that I have been listening to him talk for more than 200 hours, I can 'keep up' . It just takes a while to get used to the speed of keets cadence.

If he does want you to suceed, He should GIVE YOU A JOB.

Keet will never tell a story more than once, but Chemda has told that "I was felt up" story about a dozen times. I think she owes me a little time under her blanket for all the times she has told that story.

Why does Seinfeld get all the credit for observational humor, I do not think he was the first.

Hey guys,

Great show guys!
I usually don't like your 80s metal choices (it nostalgic, but still crap), but you really made my day with the song at the end of the show. I haven't listened to Stone Temple Pilots for years (I'm guessing about 10). I just asked my brother (back in Israel) to rip my Stone Temple Pilots CDs (which he borrowed from me) to MP3 and transfer the stuff to me.

Shalom,
Rotem.

ah, drowning surfing stories, who doesnt have some?

i was in pensacola surfing right after hurricane opal had passed, the storm swell was still huge but the wind shifted and made it slick as glass. its the only time in pensacola i ever saw actual tubes like in the surfing magazines, its always pretty small there(mark foo went to GBHS, my alma mater, by the way). anyways, i was still pretty green, and dropped in on a wave waaaay too late, and at the inside break where it was really shallow. next thing i know, im falling straight down off the top of this maybe 10 foot face into about a foot of water. i hear a crack then something smacks me hard in the face and i have a mouthful of sand. then the wall of water breaks and collapses on me and pushes me under, rolls me a few times in the sand then pulls me out. im spitting up sand trying to clear my mouth so i can breathe and i pop to the surface just as another wall of water pushes me under, i had time to spit but not breathe. it seems to hold me under, im counting in my head how long since my last breath, no need to get nervous till at least 60 seconds im thinking. i remember taking the time, maybe around 20 or 25 in my head, to try to reel in my leash to grab my board,(leash is like a dog leash, attaching your leg to your board) but at the end theres just a small chunk of rough foam and a sheet of laminated fiberglass, no help. im at maybe 45 when im able to pop up again and grab a gulp of air, not a full deep breath, though, because another wave slaps me in the face, knocking me end over end, backwards into the sand. i get to about 35 or 40 again in my head, i dont think i had till 60 on the half gulp of air that i got when it suddenly lets up. i bob to the surface, apparently pulled down the beach a couple hundred yards and out a bit to sea. i catch my breath and swim back in.

apparently, i nose dived into the sand bar just as everyone happened to look at me, my board slammed into the sand and snapped in half, the front peice had smacked me in the face, giving me a very bloody nose, and the tail end of my board came up without me and washed ashore. i had bloody hamburger for shoulders somehow, from just the waves scraping me across the sand. my nose was gushing blood. and i had a huge shit eating grin on my face from the adrenaline rush.

thats what got me hooked on surfing, believe it or not.

and thats how i broke my fisrt surf board, like an idiot dropping in too late. moral of the story, dont panic, and dont inhale underwater.
