Oznog: Your wolf wants a KEG OF BEER.

Yes. Yes, that would do nicely.

I look so nice they cloned me twice:

Dumb-Ass-Monkey		2007-03-26 03:06:33 PM

I don't care about the clones.

All I know is that Jeannie needs a shooter

MadAsshatter: As hot as she is, I bet she's wearing granny panties.

And this is a problem how? They're not gonna stay on long.

"Lee's team created the world's first cloned dog, Snuppy, in early 2005 under the stewardship of now-disgraced cloning expert Hwang Woo-Suk.

Woo-Suk Hwang? Sometimes the jokes just write themselves...

Zevon trivia.
The 1st 3 notes to werewolves is the same as to Mack The Knife

Nakito: little old lady got mutilated late last night

Best alliteration in the history of rock.

Without a doubt. I try telling people this all the time, no one ever gets it.

Blue Eagle		2007-03-26 03:20:43 PM

Um, what is the headline referencing?

Doctor Funkenstein		2007-03-26 03:23:39 PM

The perfect hair thing - can someone explain that to me? I've been sans intarweb tubes for about a week and seemed to have missed a new cliche.

cartmen34		2007-03-26 03:24:10 PM

And I retort with:

uuuuhhhhh, what?

InferiousX		2007-03-26 03:26:23 PM

I haven't read the thread but I believe they are referencing Warren Zevons "Werewolves of London"

Thanks. I guess the short answer is that I suck at the intarwebz. Damn, I turn 31 this week and already feel teh olds sinking in.

/get the fark off my lawn

sjkangas		2007-03-26 03:31:26 PM

For those who are google challenged:

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Werewolves of London

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Werewolves of London

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London
Draw blood

interruptive_cow		2007-03-26 03:31:33 PM

I bet it dies of cancer and at a young age.

/just a hunch

sweetmelissa31		2007-03-26 03:32:17 PM

i thought he was saying "werewolves of thunder" til a year ago

Senordos13		2007-03-26 03:37:51 PM

I hear they are delicious!

I have a drunken version of the alman bro's doing werewolves and it gets sung "I want to meet james taylor".

danlpoon		2007-03-26 03:40:48 PM

Damn, I turn 31 this week and already feel teh olds sinking in.

31? Zevon was before your time. You didn't miss anything. Zevon is kinda like Stevie Ray Vaughn. His best work was dying.

Doctor Funkenstein: Thanks. I guess the short answer is that I suck at the intarwebz. Damn, I turn 31 this week and already feel teh olds sinking in.

You don't suck at teh intarwebz, you suck at life. Werewolves of London is most of the classic rock and roll songs ever. You should be ashamed.

WeenerGord		2007-03-26 03:43:10 PM

I walked out of there, friends, my hair was perfect. Well, at least that mohawk section down the middle was perfect. Had a white streak down one side... other side looked like Mr. T. Had a couple safety pins in my cheeks. Felt a teeeeny bit conspicuous. Luckily, my next job was in San Francisco. Shoot, I got there and I didnt even stand out at all. Wasnt even close! Those people thought I was an insurance salesman!

orchalcyon		2007-03-26 03:44:40 PM

This is the happiest a headline has made me in ages...Wait...This is the happiest a non FOOBIES headline has made me in ages!

HRosebud		2007-03-26 03:45:55 PM

Darn meeting! I would have loved to have jumped in earlier, but I just got here.

Missing you, Warren Z. At least we know you're finally sleeping ('cause you're dead).

I shiver everytime I hear him sing Knockin' on Heavens Door. To record that when you literally ARE standing there knockin' on it... I just think that's amazing.

Doctor Funkenstein		2007-03-26 03:46:37 PM

dusterrocks

Oh, don't get me wrong, I respect the Zevon. Honestly, I never understood one word he was saying in that song so never made the connection. Frankly, whenever I hear it, I'm usually to juiced to give a damn what he's saying anyhow.

EvilEgg		2007-03-26 03:50:08 PM

HRosebud: At least we know you're finally sleeping ('cause you're dead).

Or he's looking for things to do in Denver.

maj.heath		2007-03-26 03:50:49 PM

Spartan_Manhandler: no no no, those are AIRWOLVES of London. Silly Spartan.

and he's looking for James Taylor!

/slightly obscure?

And I saw JACKSON BROWNE walkin' down the avenue.
And his hair was PERFECT!

/Live version rules!

What a coincidence - I'm drinking Heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin right now!

Doctor Funkenstein,
The song Werewolves Of London is older than you are.
Take it from a guy who bought the LP when it was brand new.
It has been my all-time #1 favorite song ever since.
The ONLY way to listen to that song is with the volume on 11.
Being in the car also helps.
Try that & then come back to us...

NightOwl2255		2007-03-26 03:58:40 PM

The_Sponge /Their pina coladas are okay...but not as good as Duke's.
//But their Mai Tais are farking fantastic.

I was in LA a couple of years ago. I arrived about 4 hours before my wife was schduled to arrive so I was just driving around checking out the sights when I see the sign for Trader Vic's. Other then the song, had never heard of the place. So, I amble in and order a beer (could never bring myself to order a Pina Colada, but if the wife orders one, I'll damn sure drink it) and strike up a conversation with the bar kep. I ask him about the song and he tells me that they serve a ton of pina coladas because of that song. He tells me they make em the same way there as they do at every bar he has worked at, but of course people tell him that Trader Vic's has the BEST pina Coladas.
And of course the song refers to the one in London.

danlpoon		2007-03-26 03:59:26 PM

Werewolves of London is most of the classic rock and roll songs ever.

It's Stairway to Heaven for people who couldn't afford FM radios in 1972.

SpasticSloth		2007-03-26 04:00:29 PM

clone a mammoth already, goddammit

The Envoy		2007-03-26 04:02:39 PM

That is an utterly superb headline. I am so jealous of the submitter for having such a wonderful brain. Many thanks mate, you made my night, going to go annoy the neighbours with a Warren tribute session.
Ah-ooooooooooooo!

Phil Herup		2007-03-26 04:03:37 PM

Werewolves in Korea?!
Send lawyers, guns, and money, IMO.

Turn those speakers up full blast,
play it all night long.

KarmicRetribution		2007-03-26 04:05:05 PM

Korea? Don't they have nuclear arms, and are they in the Middle East?

I'm thinking we should send the Envoy

\My wife also likes "Johnny strikes up the band"
\\and it's "run amok", not "run amuck" There's no mud involved

Keitel and Tarantino are not amused by this thread nor by the Koreans apparent lack of respect for american copyright law. The MPAA has initiated a lawsuit against the Kaweans alleging unauthorized reproduction and duplication without their express written consent punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 fine (USD of course).

/well, that makes two of us now that don't respect american copyright law...
