Well the triumphent return of DJ Brother Love happens tonight at El Mundo at 2345 FRANKFORT AVE. For those who have been coming to this site in only the last 3 years you may not know that one of my nicknames is “Brother Love”.
Actually Danny gave me that nickname. The second time I met Danny he didn’t remember my name so he just called me Brother Love. He got that name from a Neil Diamond song. I kind of liked the nickname so I used it on occasion. Usually when I didn’t want to give someone my real name. When I started DJing I thought it would be a good name, especially since there was a DJ Quik already out there somewhere.
I haven’t used that name in a long while. Partially because I haven’t found the need and also it sounds a little hippyfied to me now.
Anyway, I’ll be DJing from about 10PM to 2AM. El Mundo closes at 2AM. I plan on having a good time playing out again and I think it will be sort of fun. Anybody that wants to come by and hang out for a while is more than welcome.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Short, sweet and to the point.
Joey's birthday was celebrated at PT's and a good time was had by all. I still smell like stripper.
A friend at work gave me a CD of nothing but the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches from Saturday Night Live. I spent the last hour watching those.
It’s time for bed.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

In a way I'm kind of glad my camera is temporarily out of commission. It’s given me a good excuse to go through my older pictures and repost them. It’s four year old nostalgia but it’s nostalgia none the less.
I realize that these pictures mean very little to the more recent readers of this space but I know a lot of my friends are enjoying it so far. Plus I’m trying to post the better pictures and not just ones that have some sort of sentimental value though the group of photos I have waiting to post, are a mixed bag.
I hope you enjoy them.
A reminder that Saturday Night at El Mundo on Frankfort Ave I will be DJing from around 10PM to 2AM.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I got a list from Georgio giving advice for moving to the South. Here is the list and my responses.
>1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it.
I don’t know about this one. I’m waiting for instructions also.
>2. Just because YOU can drive on snow and ice does not mean WE can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four-wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. DON'T try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
I have seen these guys.
>3. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and fish bait in the same store.
I haven’t seen this in Louisville but they are out there.
>4. Remember: "Ya'll" is singular. "All Y'all" is plural. "All Y'all's" is plural possessive.
Actually Y’all can be singular or plural. All Y’all is definitely plural.
>5. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are ya?"
Well with your accent you may here that one.
>6. If you are yelling at the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone, directly in the middle of the road, remember: A lot of folks learned to drive on a vehicle known as John Deere, and this is the proper speed and lane position for that vehicle.
Again, I’ve seen this but not in Louisville.
>7. If you hear a redneck exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say.
Truer words were never spoken.
>8. Get used to the phrase, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity," as well as the collateral phrase, "You call this Hot? Wait'll August!"
You here that way too much and it is August. Damn this last week was hot but today was great.
>9. There are no Delis. Don't ask.
We have Delis. I’m not sure how they compare to NYC but there are Delis.
>10. In conversation, never put your hand on a man's shoulder when making a point, especially in a bar.
This is probably true.
>11. Chili does NOT have beans in it.
Not true Chili does have beans in it but some folks also put spaghetti in it or macaroni.
> 12. Brisket is not "cooked" in an oven.
Hmmmm. Could be.
>13. Don't tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares.
True.
>14. If you think it's too hot, don't worry. It'll cool down - in December.
Usually it’s cool by October here.
>15. We do TOO have four seasons: December, January, February, and Summer!
This list must be for much farther south than Kentucky. We have all four seasons.
>16. A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol here. A CHEVY SL is.
I’d rather have a Lexus.
>17. If someone tells you "Don't worry, those peppers ain't hot," you can be certain they are.
This area is to Mid-west. I know a guy who things regular Hamburger Helper is spicy.
>18. If you fail to heed the warning in #17 above, be sure to have a bowl of guacamole handy. Water won't do it.
You can get hot food here but look at #17’s answer above.
>19. Rocky Mountain Oysters are NOT oysters, and Turkey fries do come from birds... Don't ask.
Don’t ask.
>20. If someone says they're "fixin'" to do something, that doesn't mean anything's broken.
True.
>21. If you don't understand our passion for college and high school football, just keep your mouth shut.
True.
>22. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade.
In the summer that’s true.
>23. If you see a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder---that is what is called "courtesy."
I don’t know about this one.
>24. BBQ is a food group. It does NOT mean grilling burgers and hotdogs outdoors.
True. Grilling burgers and hotdogs outdoors, is called a cookout.
>25. No matter what you've seen on television, line dancing is a popular weekend pastime.
Not True!
>26. "Tea" = Iced Tea. There is no other kind.
We know there are other kinds and there are places that serve it but not many people drink it here.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

A reminder that Saturday Night at El Mundo on Frankfort Ave I will be DJing from around 10PM to 2AM. It should be a good time... At least for me.
I think its time for some Neverwinter Nights... also the last I heard Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is supposed to come out soon. As well as the 3rd season of The Sopranos.
I need to save my nickels.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I was watching HBO's documentary, ''Living Dolls: The Making of a Child Beauty Queen." This is one of the creepiest shows I’ve seen in a long while. The show is about beauty contests for children. The youngest age group was 0 to 18 months. WTF!!!
The children in that age group just look ridiculous. It’s the children that are 5 years old that are really scary. They’ve lost most of their baby fat probably with a little help from Mom or Dad. Their hair is done in adult styles and they have lots of makeup that would be considered heavy makeup on an adult Las Vegas showgirl.
There is this one scene where this adult man is singing to this row of 7 year old girls who all seem to be bashfully flirting with him as he goes from girl to girl and sings to them. The trainer/consultant that helps these girls win even told this girl what a great job she did flirting with the singer.
I saw this sketch on Mr. Show where they were making fun of these beauty contests. The had pre-natal contests and there was this doctor character that was driving this expensive car and would surgically apply hair and makeup to the fetus while it was still in the womb. This is obviously an exaggeration but it was closer to the truth than I had believed.
In the documentary the trainer/consultant lived in this giant expensive house with a big pool in the back yard. When they would announce the winners, the contestants would come out of the audience and any of the girls he trained he would go pick them up and run them up to the stage. He acted so excited for them but in my opinion it was just good business for him. The other mothers see him care 3 or 4 girls up to the stage they may consider paying him for his services, so that their little girl could be the best she could be.
At the end of the show there is a scene where Swan Brooner, who was one of the main subjects of the documentary, is crowned the winner and there she is with a trophy twice her size, painted up like a whore with $2500 in cash in her hands. The cash was part of her prize and she was holding it they way they gave it to her with it all spread out so everyone could see the many bills.
The real sad thing is that none of the people in the documentary seemed to see anything strange about this. It was normal for a 5 year old to look and behave like that.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I think today’s post needs to have a warning on it. I occasional talk about subjects in this space that are offensive to some, but for the most part it seems in my mind that my particular audience has an open mind about such things. So I feel comfortable talking about almost anything. Today’s post however may be a bit over the line for some people and I wanted to give fair warning before moving on. I was surprised at the number of people I offended tonight. So here is your chance to quit reading if you don’t want to be offended or if you are under 18 years of age.
I got this idea in my head earlier today and I started asking several people at the Mag Bar about it. If a guy makes a mold of his erect penis and then makes a dildo from the mold and the gives that dildo to his sister as a present… Would that be incest?
My opinion was best summed up by Stacy who said that by definition it wasn’t incest but in may be an incestuous act. It is most definitely twisted and sometimes I scare myself. In my defense I don’t have a sister.
Now if that didn’t drive you away screaming, I heard one of the most offensive jokes I’ve heard in a while from Jeff C. I’m paraphrasing slightly because I missed part of the beginning. There is this pervert, this man in a park and he sees this little boy by himself and he goes up to the boy and says, “Hey little boy would you like a piece of candy?”
The boy says, “If you give me the whole bag you can come on my face.”
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
