Did Ray pick Bono because he and Bono are good friends? Or does Ray consider himself the Bono type and, therefore, what's good for Bono is good for Ray?
-
WTF?
What is this dig at JB?
I can understand making fun of a pretentious fuck like Bono, but James Brown?
Hep me!
-
Baby, baby, baby!

I actually just like that picture of JB. It's now my background. And yeah, the idea of being Bono's butler is much more ridiculous than being James Browns butler. With James, you'd be, like, the butler of FUNK, and you'd know kung fu and Dolemite and that sort of shit. With Bono, you'd, I don't know, have to drain the pretension out of him every morning.
-
I sort of laughed. Kind of. It felt very "filler" to me.
The idea of Bono's butler is in and of itself hilarious, but the idea that Ray is down with Bono is even better. Do they sit around and talk about their ART?
-

Awesome.
-
I just found this episode of "Fun with Ray on the phone" to be a little bland.
I have to agree. If there's going to be "Fun with Ray on the phone," he should at least be doing something like pranking "The Born Loser," "Andy Capp" or "Ferdinand."

Also, Ray called James Brown ridiculous. Umm, excuse me, but someone who's proud of being naked on the phone, lies in a gutter smelling like farted in vinegar or doesn't get the picture that shooting pool from behind the back will only cost him more money down the line is in no position to be calling anyone ridiculous. :lol:

Oh, I'm not saying James Brown is normal by any means - it's just that Ray probably has a bit more of James Brown in him than he'd like to admit.
-
Yeah, a big heaping portion of WHATEVER to Jorge, and to Onstad as well. James Brown, even in his seventies, would cold drop your narrow ass.
I would direct your attention to the Star Time (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001G1E/qid=1091206157/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/103-3237514-1562203?v=glance&s=music&n=507846)box set, or the live album Love Power Peace (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001DWX/ref=m_art_li_9/103-3237514-1562203?v=glance&s=music), for an ample demonstration of Mr. Brown's whoop-assery. He's one of the most important artists of the previous century. The man's got problems, but compare the arrest record with the accomplishments. Compare him to someone like Courtney Love, whose trainwreck of a life overshadows her contributions to the world of music.
Come on.
-
James Brown made claims that he had "powerful testicles given to him by the government."
Well so do I, but you don't hear me bragging about it.
Get on up! Ow!

Dear god! Jorge, that made me laff so hard. Did you know all this off the top of your head? Cause if so, you rock hard.
AugustWest, does the government have any sanctions on bringing said testicles to, say, Canada?
all imposing a tariff
all frisking you at the border
And, Jough, I'm sorry, but James Brown is ridiculous. Or at least his hair is. You've got to give us that.
-
Oh my god you kids...
That ridiculous hair photo was a police mugshot - he is not exactly looking his best there.
Anyway, JB is the GODFATHER OF MOTHERfuck*ng SOUL.
Good hair = whatever the fuck James Brown's hair looks like at any given time.
He is the motherloving BENCHMARK OF COOL.
-

I think we might have hit a nerve here! Sorry Jough.
Actually I wasn't referring to the mugshot hair at all, but the scary shiny bouffant he usually has. I mean, I could use his hair as a mirror to put in my contact lenses for gawd sakes!
But hell that man can dance!
Owwwwwww! Get on the good foot!
-
I gotta agree with Jough on this one. Giving James Brown a hard time about his, uh, quirky lifestyle is like giving Steven Hawking a hard time about drooling. It's just not done!

Steven Hawking drools? Wouldn't that short out his Speak'n'Spell?
(Geek sig question:KAR 120C? Is that Number 6's license plate?)

This thread got me to thinking about JB and filling in some of the gaps in my collection. Turns out iTunes has anything you could ever want from the man.
Click here (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPublishedPlaylist?id=91232), and thank me later. ( iTunes software and twelve bucks required. )

That would be telling.
Be seeing you.

I would pay for a strip in which Ray ranted about the powerful Neuticles given to him by the government.
(No wonder he can still sport wood!)

The question is not whether he is the godfather of soul, whether he's a cool motherfucker, or whether her could drop my ass...the question is whether he is ridiculous and the answer is oh my soul yes! Being his butler would be hard.
Oh, and I did not know all of that stuff from the top of my head. That was copied and pasted.
-
Listen people, would a non-ridiculous person have a cat for a butler? I think not.
-
i like james brown as a musician,
but if i were a cat, who was a butler,
and who spoke in a proper English accent,
i'd find it quite difficult to work for the
God Father of Soul and Funk and Things.
but,
that's just me.
