[Take me Down for a Pair o’ Baked Zitis](https://www.yahoo.com/music/axl-rose-asks-google-to-remove-unflattering-photos-190042605.html) So much for that aloof rock-n-roll spirit. All Axl really did was make his butthurt over the fat memes viral and encourage more to exist. ---

Why did I not know about these memes? You failed me internet. Some of these are hilarious.

This is probably as good a place as any to mention the authorized bathroom wall graffiti\* that I saw yesterday at a garden center: [del]Guns[/del] N’ Roses. Some dear heart got upset over the mention of guns. \*this place even provides markers so you can add your own. ---

Frankly, it wouldn’t bother me a bit if every photo, every video, every mention of that poser were removed from the Internet. ---

Ya know, I’d like it if I wasn’t fat, old and had a hairdo that made my head look like a penis. But I’m self aware enough that I know that I only have myself to blame for these things, and revel in them. ---

Usually I’m opposed to fat-shaming people, but Axl Rose has just been such a jackass to people over the course of his career that I really can’t work up even mild annoyance at it. I look forward to seeing what the Streissand effect does to him in this case. > [@Jackmannii](#): > > [del]Guns[/del] N’ Roses. > > Some dear heart got upset over the mention of guns. Or maybe they were making a joke about the fact that the garden center only sells roses and not guns. That was my first thought when I saw the strikethrough, I’d make a joke like that and I’m… not exactly the type to get upset at the mention of guns. ---

Let’s see. Axl went through a skinny phase and a fat phase. He’s played in Las Vegas. He couldn’t be Elvis trying to make a comeback, could he? No, too bizarre to contemplate. Forget I even brought it up. ---

I don’t have any of my current glory, and my wife alternates on agreeing whether it looks like a penis or not (I think she thinks I’m reveling in that fact a bit much). Think of 80’s-90’s [Peter Boyle](http://www.movieactors.com/freeseframes-1026/RedHeat154.jpeg), but dishwater blond. ---

What was it that Joe Rogan said on NewsRadio about taking pictures off the internet? “It’s like peeing in the pool. Once it’s in there, you can’t get it out!” ---
