Yes, I saw Rick's. *sigh* Tsk tsk. And there are numerous others with copious usage of scatologic references.

Interestingly enough, one of my favorite Tenacity of the Cockroach interviews is that of Alice Cooper. It's short, but it really reveals him as a really nice and very cool guy. He raves about what a blast he had appearing on The Muppet Show [hear that, BTD??], and how he actually is not fond of Marilyn Manson and that ilk:

Alice Cooper wrote: [People like Marilyn Manson] look like they're just tortured souls up there, and you go, you know, "Guys! Lighten up! The image is heavy and everything, but you don't have to really be that." These guys are trying to live their lives the way their image is. The idea behind rock and roll is joy. It's joyful music. It's not a depressing thing.

And not one cuss word in the whole interview. No wonder Al likes hanging out with him!! :biggrin:

Oh, and in case my overt sarcasm in my earlier post got misconstrued, Bob Barker's interview really is clean too ... honest! ...

Alice Cooper, from what I've seen, seems like a really nice guy. Like you said, I can see why Al likes him.

Umm... What's "vocabulary"?

from dictionary.com:

vocabulary

1. All the words of a language.
2. The sum of words used by, understood by, or at the command of a particular person or group.
3. A list of words and often phrases, usually arranged alphabetically and defined or translated; a lexicon or glossary.
4. A supply of expressive means; a repertoire of communication: a dancer's vocabulary of movement.

If I remember correctly, one of my dad's friends used to be good friends with Alice Cooper. (I think he may have helped convert him to Christianity...)

Thanks, Patti! I would have had to pull out my Encarta Dictionary if it wasn't for you (and it's a big book!).

Thanks again.

Did anybody save a copy of Al's Say Something Funny piece? It appears to have aged off the Onion site.

Dang. No, I didn't. They used to have a function to go to past issues, but it won't go back far enough. I was going to try to search on the main Onion site, but it didn't want to load.

What? Did Prince buy it?

I printed out a copy, if that's any help...

Yay! Can you scan it or type it for us?
