Well, not the whole song. But there’s one line in it that says, “Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.”
Before I learned what colitas is (are), my brain heard that line as, “Warm smell of flatus rising up through the air.”
This is my most mundane post. I am so proud.
Oh, yeah. I won $25 on a scratch-off lottery ticket at lunch today.
My son and I are going out for pizza after work.
It’s raining, too.
Bye.
Don’t forget to get some colitas as a pizza topping! Indulge yourself with that lottery money.
I don’t suffer from insanity…
I enjoy every minute of it!
Aside: A guy lives near me whose name is Ge Li…how stupid is that, first and second names both being elements?
You’re confusing Charles Manson with Leona Helmsly, Glen. I get those two mixed up all the time.
sorry… that shoulda been “…looking down at the crowd from the balcony…”, not from the lobby… my bad for not proofreading before hitting reply…

Oh, that Cecil. “Wurn Snell…” Classic!
I thought the guy in the window looking down was Alister Crowley(sp?) the founder of the Church of Satan. At least that’s what the fundamentalist Christian preacher told us all in 6th grade when he explained how we were all sinners and going to hell for listening to KISS and having Star Wars toys.
Can’t believe I broke all my KISS albums…
Damn preachers!
The Sleeper has AWAKEN!
Actually Manson never owned a hotel… just a hovel out in Death Valley (kind of Iaronic eh?), and the funder of the Church of Satan was named Anton LaVey.
Voted Biggest Smartass by all you beautiful people!
You always use violence. I should’ve ordered glutinous rice chicken.
And I’m just a doofus that doesn’t proofread before hitting “submit”

BurnMeUp,
If the preacher was wrong about Crowley… then do you think he was wrong about KISS too?
Thanks for the clarification!

Well i don’t know, anyone THAT cheesey must have some sort of alterior evil motive!

We got that in school, too. I can remember my teacher telling us all during Devotions (don’t ask) that KISS stood for Kings In Satanic Service, and that Proctor and Gamble donated a portion of all of their profits to the Church of Satan. A stupid urban legend never dies amongst fundamentalists. This was in 1996, too, by the way. Sheesh!
And last I heard (a few years ago), wasn’t P & G suing Amway for being responsible (at least in part) for spreading this rumor?
About 15 years ago, my dad was in a traffic accident. His head got kind of banged up and he got taken to the hospital. He lost his short-term memory (temporarily), and in the hospital, he kept saying, “Hi Bill, I’m glad you came to see me. I’m feeling much better now.” every five minutes. It was really weird.
Another patient at the hospital that evening had ingested a few too many chemicals and put his hand through a window. Some of his chemically-enhanced friends were in the hospital lobby, and one gal was singing “Hotel California” over and over. and over and over. and over and over. I think I make myself clear. And each time she got to the line “She got the Mercedes Bends,” she would add, "And it’s spelled “B-E-N-D-S.”
The whole evening was very weird, and every time I hear Hotel California, I deja vu.
Oh, my dad’s doing quite well these days, thank you very much.
Being an esteemed employee of the aforementioned company, I feel compelled to tell you that I have never personally witnessed ANY satanic rituals. I have witnessed dozens of “sweepovers” by balding men in suits, though.
BTW, the name is Procter (with an “e”) & Gamble.
And speaking of KISS, I finally understand why everyone thought they were so Satanic:
THEY SOLD OUT TO PEPSI!
Anyone else see the Oscars and just totally vomit at their commercial? Hell, I don’t even like KISS and I felt a pang of despair.

My mom used to have a matchbook from Hotel California.
I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!
