all sorts of name dropping

look below- i'm on freakishly early tonight! *pauses for applause*

things i could do with the spare time:

*get my butt on the treadmill (excuse to wear bouncy adidas!)
*clean my apartment (uh....no.)
*search for more lego videos i won't be able to watch on this computer anyway.
*shop for new underthings in the five most recent catalogs lurking on the back of the couch.
*create a new list of musicians' real names

hmmmm...i think we have a winner.

first, the answers from the last round of competition:


bob alan deal :: mick mars (motley crue)
david jones (not the monkee) :: david bowie
paul hewson :: bono
stuart goddard:: adam ant
george o'dowd :: boy george
vincent furnier :: alice cooper (remind me to tell you the story.......)
declan mcmanus :: elvis costello
david evans :: the edge (you know, one of those other guys in u2)
susan ballion:: siouxsie sioux (siouxsie and the banshees)
frederick farookh bulsara :: freddie mercury


and now, the latest batch:


patricia andrzejewski ::
marvin lee adair ::
georgios panayiotou ::
edward mahoney ::
annie mae bullock ::
gordon sumner ::
reginald dwight ::
michael balzary ::
frank ferrana ::
michael mckagan ::


hopefully, that'll entertain you for a minute or two.


no? try this....
....and this.....
....and this.....
.....and this is the last one.


that last one reminds me of something i saw while driving home this evening. i was out and about, running a few errands after work, and i passed a lady who was walking her dog. well, actually, she was doing all the walking. there she was, in a little workout outfit she must've tried on in front of one of those ultra-slimming funhouse mirrors, carrying her freaking dog! i know i've said it before, and i'm sure i'll say it again, but what on earth is the point of getting a dog and carrying it all over the place? i mean, it has four legs, and when you're not around, it probably uses them. maybe the dog moved too quickly for her......


perhaps this current celebrity obsession with accessorizing with "man's best friend" has taken over. in my opinion, it's going a little too far. what's next? accessorizing with fred durst? somehow, i think i'll pass........

georgios panayiotou :: George Michael
michael mckagan :: Duff(nice)

I knew these 2 right away. Had to look up the rest. Who knew Elton John would go from 2 first names to 2 first names. That is just sick.

BTW what do I win?

i figured i'd throw in a couple of easy ones, since several went unsolved last time.

and you haven't won yet.

Oh I could post all of them but then no one else would get to have any fun.

Eddie Mahoney is Eddie Money (and yes, I admit to having his 'best of..." CD.)

Patricia alphabet is Pat Benatar.
I knew Who Reggie and Gordon were.

Frank Ferrana is Nikki Sixx. *shudder*

Mossy Stone said...

okay...I knew the last two earlier, so I'll be a greedy sod.

Anna Mae is Tina Turner.
Michael Balzary is Flea, from RHCP

Personally, I think "Flea" fits better than his real moniker.

Here's my challenge: Who is Gary Weinryb better known as?

Kal said...

Well, his mind is not for rent, to any God or Government, I'll tell you that.

Ahhh, what a freakin' great junior high flashback...

Kal said...

And, Mossy, you being a northern neigbor made that one all the easier...

I was entitled to one gimme, wasn't I?

Did I tell you that I sat in the booth next to his while having brunch at a local diner a few years back? What did I do? I left the guy to eat in peace.
