Dinosaur Found With 'Vacuum-Cleaner' Mouth


Dinosaur Found With 'Vacuum-Cleaner' Mouth, Wow I dated a girl back in the 80's who had a 'Vacuum-Cleaner' nose.

$1,000.00 Sundaes - no extra charge for the Mouse shit sprinkles

People wait in line for hours to eat at Serendipity 3, Apparently there is a underground basement entrance right next to the puddle of cockroach invested stagnant water, with no waiting at all.

"$25,000 Frrrozen Haute Chocolate features top-grade cocoa, edible gold and shavings of a luxury truffle and was declared the most expensive dessert in the world by Guinness World Records."

Wow!$25,000 for a "Frrrozen Haute Chocolate"!? Has anyone ever purchased one of these?!?!? If so I hope it had lots of mouse poop mixed in with the edible gold and shavings of luxury truffle.
This story disturbs me in so many ways...

Jay Z Flashing Euros instead of Benjamins
does this signal the decline of the dollar?

Is Jay Z making a political economic statement in His Latest Video by flashing Euros instead of Benjamins?
In a related story, I hear Snoop Dogg is planing on "Droppin Loonies like they're hot" in his next video.

Do a Deed for a Dude Part II


First of all answer to the "what is this thing" question is "Guitar Nut Extender" so TA you win the prize!

Now as far as the Do a Deed for a Dude - I was trying to come up with a mnemonic device to remember Open D tuning... Do a Deed for a Dude doesn't work because open d tuning is DADF#AD. So if anyone has any ideas let me know.

I just took my first Lap Steel lesson and purchased the Kelly Joe Phelps Lap steel DVD. Guitar is equipped with my Nut Extender (I love saying that) and tuned to Open D...

Here's your first lesson:

I'm so stoked about taking lessons - I only wish I would have done this 10 years ago.

Next we'll talk about slides and dobro capos.

New Feature - Song of the... Just click play


With heavy inspiration from Beth's Mix Tape Friday and TA's, "my favorite songs in the world" (BTW, TA is the person who introduced me to Beth's Blog... Thanks). I would like to introduce to you, the Mother Goldstein - SONG OF THE... JUST CLICK PLAY. I know if I called it, "Song of the Day" I could never live up to such a title.

Anyway, for my debut SONG OF THE... JUST CLICK PLAY Here's Kelly Joe Phelps, "Tight to the Jar"...

I'm taking slide steel lessons from Kelly (via DVD). He is an unbelievable musician. He plays Lap Steel, Banjo, harmonica, and acoustic finger pickin guitar... Oh yeah he sings too. He's not coming to minneapolis anytime soon so attention to all my friends in GA and NY...
12-03-07 (a day before my birthday)Kelly will be playing at Eddie's Attic, in DECATUR, GA. If you happen to be in NYC one week later check out Kelly at Joe's Pub in NEW YORK, NY. Tell him Mother Goldstein sent you.

Guitar(s) of the week: Three Gems all under $600

My idea this week is simple, find 3 guitars under $600.00. The only rule is, I would not hesitate to own any of these...




First up we have the new Epiphone, 1967 reissue Flying V with the uncovered humbuckers, two tone paintjob, and the vintage bridge. Best part of this is the price - $399.99 brand new.




Next we have another Epiphone... this is the Wild Kat, Semi-Hollow with P-90s, and a Bigsby Tremelo. $499 and this one is yours!


Finally, we have the Gretch Eletromatic G5120 - Toaster Top pick-ups, Bigby Tremelo, and a very sexy clear pickguard. This bad boy is yours for a mere $560 - and worth every penny.

There you have it, Three great guitars for the price of a Playstation 3 with a couple games... I only say that because my birthday is just around the corner... less than a month! hint hint.

Apocolypto: like the Under the Bridge video with lots of blood and violence and nothing to do with Anthony Kiedis' drug problems.

I finally watched the movie, "Apocolypto" and wow, those Mayans were assholes!

It was no "Braveheart" and I still haven't seen "The Passion of the Christ" (and please people, don't tell me how it ends!).

"Apocolypto" reminded me of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Under the Bridge" video. If the video also had: human sacrifices, historic inaccuracies, plague, and slavery...

Anyway, the movie is about a Jaguar Paw (played by Rudy Youngblood a.k.a. Anthony Kiedis), a young hunter/warrior (pictured). He is rounded up with some other cats... taken to the Mayan city and... well, then it gets crazy.

Jaguar Paw runs (slow motion) for the rest of the movie. I could not get the RHCP song out of my head, so I paused the tivo... grabbed by iPod and listened to "under the bridge" while watching Jaguar Paw get chased through the jungle by Zero Wolf (played by Raoul Trujillo... he is one scary MF who could kick Jason's ass any day... AND Freddy Kruger, Charles Manson, that dude from "Saw", and zombies and vampires and who ever the hell you have to throw at him... But apparently he cant fuck with Anthony Keidis).

Apocolypto has everything, and maybe too much of everything. There are many scenes that made me cringe like a little school girl (thank the Mayan Gods for Tivo rewind). The over the top violence, makes "Braveheart" look like "Shrek", but I guess in some strange way I loved it.

I'll give Apocolypto 4 out of 5 beheadings... but only 3 out of 5 spears through the mid section... for a grand total of 8 out of 10 sacrificial heart removals (while the heart is still beating).

Here's a scene...

Pope Meets a Saudi King for First Time

After spending over an hour complementing each other's outfits, they spent the afternoon admiring each other's gold plated stuff (chairs, floors, cars, canes, jaunty sashes, shoes, knives, forks, plates, toilets, and jewelry). Later in the afternoon, over a couple Gyros and kashgalosh, they got into a heated debate over who has historically destroyed more innocent lives to further their cause. The Pope won hands down.

I have a hard time trusting Guys in Dresses... Other than Jamie Farr from MASH (pictured below).

New Drug Alert!

I have always tried to know what is going on with the kids, but when I read this New Drug Alert! I was floored!

Have you heard of the new drug for all the Cooligans? JenKem!

That's because Jenkem's active ingredients are urine and fecal matter, hence its street names like "Butthash" and "Fruit from Crack Pipe."


I guess the good news is JENKEM labs are not as dangerous as meth labs... in fact most homes have JENKEM labs... they're called toilets!

Advice to all you kids high on the "ButtHash", I don't think mints will work, Not even Altoids.

I guess what I am most worried about is, if this drug catches on, the PSAs are going to be horrible... "I learned it from watching YOU dad!"

Happy Halloween



Happy Halloween everybody, Click Here for an article about the Many Faces of Jason. Jason, from the 7th installment is my personal favorite (pictured).
I loved "Friday the 13th part VII: The New Blood" because is was like a cross between "Carrie" and "Friday the 13th part IV".

Guitar of the Week: 1965 Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman

1965 was an interesting year...

Popular movies: "Help!", "Othello", "Dr. Zhivago", "The Sound of Music"

Popular songs: "A Hard Day's Night", "Downtown", "Satisfaction", and "King of the Road"

Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup.

I was born, and so was this week's Guitar of the Week...


"1965 Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman $4500".
Supertron pickup in neck position and a filtertron in bridge. Another cool thing about this axe are the Grover Imperial tuning machines with extra large elephant ear buttons. Gold hardware and original hard shell case make this a great price for such a piece of guitar history.

The Great Porter Wagoner - Dead at 80


I literally grew up watching and listening to Mr. Wagoner.
When I heard Porter Wagoner Died over the weekend I felt very sad.

Nobody rocked the "Bedazzled Suit" like Porter.

3 Days Away!!!


My daughter and I worked very hard on this Jack-o-lanter, I thought I would share.

Ooooooo scary....

Halloween is 6 days away! here are some great costume ideas
Part I Scary Costumes


First up we have one of the spookiest ideas yet, Michelle Malkin. Watch as children run for their lives when you sport this horrific mask. Remember, you have to sell this costume, so brush up on your smarmy / know-it-all / I wish I was Ann Coulter attitude. (the last one will be the hardest).
If you are going out as a couple, one of you could go as Geraldo Rivera, but remember whoever dresses like Mr. Rivera has to continually spit on Malkin.




Anna: the Drug addled clown. Yeah... I think it's been long enough. This costume comes with the rubber mask (pictured above), blond wig, heroin and approximately 600 oxycodone. Total cost of costume - $3,500.00.

If you are going out as a couple (or to be more realistic - threesome), may I suggest one of you going as a "dignity" - and (if there is 3 of you) one of you go as "sobriety". When you arrive at the party, Dignity and Sobriety should elude Anna.



POPE on Fire - this by far is the most dangerous, scary as well as expensive costume in the list.

This is what you need:
1. Solid Gold Thrown
2. Sold Gold Trimmed mu mu with Jaunty / Catholic sash (trimmed in solid gold of course)
3. Solid Gold Trimmed beany hat (gold trimmed Yarmulke will work as well).
4. Haunch.
5. Cane
6. 5 gallons of gasoline.
7. Matches.

Underwear not required (if you want to be authentic) as Priests just see undergarments as "mood killers" for those who are counseling young lads. Which brings me to the "if you are going as a couple" portion of this costume...
If you are going out as a couple, a good second costume would be: Alter boy, Young boy demon, or Solid Gold Nun.
This is sure to be crowd pleaser, so be sure to bring lots of smores.
