(I do remember you in prayer.)<br /><br />I'm almost embarrassed to admit I was in 'CHiPs'. But every job meant another wild night out on the town with my buddies. So, I took what I could get. (I even did 'Hill Street Blues' and 'Happy Days' - *CRINGE!* - but I like to think, and hope, I would have turned down 'T.J. Hooker' had it ever been offered me. Ha!-Ha!)<br /><br />Sorry I'm so late is responding to your comment and vote, but I was out of town, house-hunting, for the last two days. I'm already a day late with my BOTB Results post, and I'm not even sure I'll get it published tonight, either. DOH!! That's just not like me to be anything less than "punctual". <br /><br /><b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">~ Stephen</a></b><br />DogGtor of Alcohology & <br />King of Inebriation NationStephen T.

I'm gratified to hear ...Greetings, DOC MacSIS! <br />I'm gratified to hear that the Battle forced you to listen a second time. I always like it when one takes their BOTB bote seriously enough to listen and listen again. I also do that whenever I'm not completely sure. However, granted, there are times when one listen is... <i>more</i> than enough. (It usually takes me no-time flat to recognize when something is way outside my musical wheelhouse.)<br /><br />I can't give you a Beatles 45. Would something by The Monkees suffice?<br /><br />And I too wish you a (as Van-The-Man would sing...) <b>"fantabulous"</b> 2019. Honestly, I no longer expect any years to be good for the country in our lifetime. But our personal lives can still have some good years overall, I believe.<br /><br />Grunge on, Sister!<br /><br /><b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">~ Stephen</a></b><br />DogGtor of Alcohology & <br />King of Inebriation NationStephen T.

'Lookwell' is, IMO, the...McBruhthuh DogG ~<br /><br />'Lookwell' is, IMO, the greatest pilot that was never actually made into a TV series. Damn, that stuffs was SO FUNNY! And Adam West (with the self-deprecating humor) was so perfect in it! He even made the comment that 'Bannigan' almost went into a fourth season. Is it mere coincidence that 'Batman' also nearly went into a fourth season? I don't... THINK SO!<br /><br /><i>>>... The Landers Sisters in "Jugs and Suds" who solved crimes by posing as stewardesses, waitresses, ranch hands, and librarians.</i><br /><br />THAT is phuqin' hilarious!!!<br /><br />In one episode, I think they even posed as nightclub dancers, but it was only just a dream sequence. It didn't really happen.<br /><br />Yeah, fo' sho', 'The Rockford Files' was definitely cool. And also had one of the all-time best theme songs. (Well, in TV shows, instrumental themes also count as "songs".)<br /><br /><i>>>... Edwin had 4 Billy "White Shoes" Johnson cards. $20 street value. Gave 3 to the lunch lady who then gave him free lunches for a semester - with chocolate milk!</i><br /><br />Edwin was a smart kid. He knew how to turn a deficit into an asset, and probably went on to be the CEO of some movie production company. Either that or the major supplier for the homeboys in the state pen. What's the difference, really?<br /><br />I'm proud to say I never once, in my whole life, watched a full episode of 'Charlie's Prostitutes'. However, I openly acknowledge that the poster of Farrah Fawcett-Majors (you know the one I mean - red swimsuit, and the turkey's done) is one of the most significant images from the 1970s. Anyone who can't conjure up that image in their mind, based on my simple description, obviously don't know doo-doo about the 1970s!<br /><br />Oh, yeah, Bruhthuh DogG, I remember when I was doing 'Bad Cop, Bad Cop'. Man, those were really my 'Good Ol' Days'! <br /><br />I think my favorite episode was the one where the Captain said to me: "McCarthy, I swear, if next time, you don't punch the suspect 6 times in the face during the interrogation, I am taking you OFF the case!"<br /><br />Of course, the director later turned that wonderful scene into a damned "dream sequence", so it hardly even really counted. Damned directors! I still hate their guts!!<br /><br /><b><a href="http://xtremelyun-pcandunrepentant.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">~ Stephen</a></b><br />DogGtor of Alcohology & <br />King of Inebriation NationStephen T.

What's up with that?!<br /><br />No, there ain't no connection between Harvelle's and Tampico Tilly's... except for "Santa Monica". I remember Tampico Tilly's - I can actually see their sign in my mind - but I can't recall where it was. I want to say Pico Boulevard, but that could be very wrong.<br /><br />But, no, Harvelle's was always Harvelle's. In fact, I'd bet Pa had done some drinkin' in Harvelle's before we were even born. Or at least, not long after.<br /><br />Do you remember a small bar kind of hidden away just one door south of J.C. Penney's on the Third Street Promenade? Pa told me that one time he found himself sitting next to and drinking with Lee Marvin in that bar.<br /><br />What happened to The Zone? They disappeared because they didn't know the right people. 80% of it is "Who You Know" (or, for females, "Who You're Willing To Do"). 15% of it is "Lucky Breaks". The measly final 5% is talent.<br /><br />Apparently The Zone didn't know the right people and didn't get a lucky break. Because the talent part of it is utterly obvious!!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by with your 2-cent gavel.<br /><br />Incidentally, tonight, while watching 'The Twilight Zone', I made one of the greatest busts of my entire Busting career.

Both groups appeal to me, so I needed an extra listen.<br /><br />Someone in your comments mentioned that day thought Theory sounded a bit grungy and I can agree...for some reason it's really much more pleasing to me this evening, in spite of the fact that I like both groups...grunge must be the bait on the hook. Who saw that coming? Quick, someone give me a Beatles 45...cleanse me.<br /><br />My bote-vote goes to Theory!<br /><br />Best wishes, blessings for 2019, and yada yada yada!

The Landers Sisters in "...S Man on the screen!<br /><br />The Landers Sisters in "Jugs and Suds" who solved crimes by posing as stewardesses, waitresses, ranch hands, and librarians.<br /> <br />If grade school kids ran Time magazine with man of the year.. Fonzie a half-hearted choice, vacillating. Did you see last night?? Baretta stuck a guy's head in the toilet!! Instant legend. <br /><br />The Rockford Files was pretty cool/pretty chill. <br /><br />Awesome link, watched it twice, may be the best show I've seen. (So smart no wonder it didn't last on the tee-vee). With Adam West playing "Adam West" and nobody says, "You're Adam West." And of course, the confusion over the "cliche' - nuance! of cop shows... and a Shakespeare statue with palm trees in the background.<br /><br />I never saw a whole episode of Barnaby Jones except the one with Miss Roister in a cameo when she took off her glasses and unfurled her hair. "Little boy, how'd you like me to teach you to be a man. You can tell me": <br />"His name's Edwin. He hit the lottery in those plastic wrapped football cards that were three packs of cards in one package. He never ate the gum... that doesn't have anything to do with anything. (Whispers) Edwin had 4 Billy "White Shoes" Johnson cards. $20 street value. Gave 3 to the lunch lady who then gave him free lunches for a semester - with chocolate milk! Meanwhile I'm lugging around a Bonanza lunch box each day with a dime to get regular milk. <br />Miss Roister was so popular she demanded more money. "This show is more important than you are sugar tits. Oh really? We've got Joyce DeWitt and Susan Anton on speed dial!" <br /><br />Charlie's Angels. Three ladies at each scene of the crime. Charlie was never there, man. Charlie was never at the scene of the crime. And his instructions were oblique - he never told them what to do! Charlie. Wasn't. There! <br /><br />That's you in the photo! Just before you two's in the pilot of Bad Cop, Bad Cop. McCarthy says almost mumbles realistically, "Danto will shine the light on you and punch you 5 times in the face. I'll give you a cigarette and only punch you 4 times in the face." <br />With the fat black captain: "You're not out of control enough McCarthy - you should have punched him 6 times. The mayor supports me fully on this case. The case is complex. You can crash a few cars and beat people up without reading Miranda rights to solve it. You can kill guys and we'll never move you to a desk to do paperwork. I agree with you, you don't need a vacation! You've got up to 6 months or more to solve this case!" <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117229416864032647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043167264059951487.post-56706290554108636922019-01-05T10:29:47.881-08:002019-01-05T10:29:47.881-08:00Al Bondigas here.

Man, there were so many establishments that we genteel folk used to patronize, they all kind of blend together on that side of Santa Monica. Anyway, I liked both songs well enough. but I guess I gotta make a rulin' here. The voice of that lead singer from the Zone really had it together and tight man. What ever happened to them?

May it be Healthy, Happy, and overflowing with Mojitos. <br /><br />'Margarita Day' is a tradition that my Pa started back in 1986. For some inexplicable reason, I forgot to drink a Margarita on New Year's Day in 1994. That is the ONLY year in which I forgot to uphold the tradition. So that's how I came up with the slogan <b>"Margarita Day - a tradition since 1986, except for 1994"</b>, which tickles my oddball sense o' humor.<br /><br />And speaking of funny, yeah, that Harvelle's story IS pretty funny. And true, too! All the drinkers were just so casual about the whole thing. Pointed fingers but no wasted words.<br /><br />As a self-proclaimed "Rock Chick", your vote really surprised me. I thought for sure you'd go for the funky hard rockers. But BOTB always has been full of surprises and likely always will be.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by with $0.02 for the collection plate, and I hope you and yourn have a tremendous 2019. <br /><br />~ D-FensDogG @ <b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T.

I can vividly picture the scene from your Harvelle's story. That's hilarious! ☺ On to the battle: 'Santa Monica' gets lots of airplay on Canadian radio and I've always liked it. 'Do The Thing' is new to me. It has a fun vibe and sounds like it should be part of a movie soundtrack. Still, I find the mellow vocals and arrangement of the first one more appealing.

I choose life over death.<br /><br />It was mere coincidence that I happened to have a Harvelle's story to go along with The Zone's reference to Harvelle's. Had The Zone referenced 'Redneck Billy Bob's Three Sheets To The Wind Saloon' instead of Harvelle's, I wouldn't have had a story to go along with it. (Of course, I could have always concocted a fictional story and passed it off as true. I mean, if Mark Twain could get away with that stuffs then why can't I?)<br /><br />It's pretty dern rare that one finds me speaking optimistically about the near future. (The distant future I am always optimistic about, because I have read The Book and know about the happy ending.) The near future is usually cause for concern, but I feel that *Something* or *Someone* is telling me that my personal near future is going to be a nice upgrade from the present. I'll sure be grateful if that turns out to be correct.<br /><br />And speaking of near futures, dIEDRE, I hope yours is wonderful, too!

That being said, I’m glad I’d had coffee before I listened to the departed. Just a bit too morose. On the other hand, the Zone was a perfect fit for your Harvelle’s story! Did you secretly want them to win? It’s the Zone for me! Hopefully, they’re just rowdy enough to run these dreary clouds out of town 😉<br />Hey, speaking of ‘out of town’, I like the optimism I hear in your plans for the sooner than later future!<br />Happy times to you!<br />diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043167264059951487.post-57976635024490492272019-01-02T22:18:44.068-08:002019-01-02T22:18:44.068-08:00JULIO ~

"as a nosy person, it would have taken everything in my power not to Kilroy was here over the dumpster out back immediately after, just to see if he made the catch."</i><br /><br />I'm impressed that you know about "Kilroy was here". That graffiti was popular back in... well, way back. Off the top of my head, I wanna say it was a WWII era thing.<br /><br />But, no, none of us left the bar. The First Rule O' Da Saloon is that you never, ever walk away from your drink. Well, I mean, not unless you have a little card like [Link> <b><a href="https://i.imgur.com/rwSLdI6.jpg" rel="nofollow">THIS ONE</a></b> to place over the top of your glass.<br /><br />I have done as you asked and given your bote to The Zone. Now maybe you could do something for me? Could you help me find a lovely woman named [Link> <b><a href="https://i.imgur.com/gjjBekB.jpg" rel="nofollow">PAM</a></b> whom I could settle down with and share my cowboy hat collection with until death do us part? <br /><br />~ D-FensDogG @ <b><a href="http://xtremelyun-pcandunrepentant.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ferret-Faced Fascist Friends</a></b>Stephen T.

I'm posting it here because I forgot to text it to you.<br /><br /><a href="https://preview.redd.it/a5fk5dg6yflz.png?width=1000&auto=webp&s=408e1445d35cd05d67bc51c5671cbcc8fd56a6b9" rel="nofollow">Magic 8-ball, am I stupid?</a><br /><br />Also, I would have paid good money to have been in that bar when that happened. And as a nosy person, it would have taken everything in my power not to <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZDShYLWfL.jpg" rel="nofollow">Kilroy was here</a> over the dumpster out back immediately after, just to see if he made the catch.<br /><br />As for the battle, this is a good one, and as I think I mentioned before, I have fond memories of TOAD just because I heard their music a lot around the time I was in high school. I wouldn't sit and listen to their music now, but it does bring back nostalgic memories. However, that ain't what this battle is about, and since it's about what I like better, I like The Zone.

I thank you fo......And POOH, that's not all!...<br />I thank you for your visit and I wish you the best of everything in 2019. If that's too ambitious of a wish, then how about... "the next best thing"? :-)<br /><br />If I were the leader of a band, I would definitely write a song titled 'Ting On The Ting'. Ha!<br /><br />As a matter of fact, I did indeed consider Everclear's 'Santa Monica' for this Battle. I decided against using it, however, because I already have plans to use a different Everclear song in BOTB in the not too distant future. And you know as well as I do that one shouldn't overdo Everclear.<br /><br />Beee!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG @ <b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T.

Maybe some future Battles should contain labels at the top of the page saying something like...<br /><br />"Peoples, this BOTB installment includes Hard Rock <i>[*or Punk Rock, or Heavy Metal, or Hard Bop Jazz, or ____*]</i>, so please choose an appropriate time to evaluate this contest."<br /><br />For example, I dig the songs 'Highway Star' by Deep Purple, 'Won't Get Fooled Again' by The Who, and 'Lights Out' by UFO, but I certainly would not be ready to hear them first thing in the morning.<br /><br />I'm with you on the black coffee. In fact, 'Black Coffee' is a song I might use someday in BOTB.<br /><br />Have a lovely day, week, month, and year, my friend!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG @ <b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T.

Happy Margarita Day! Also known as ...And Stephen, <br />Happy Margarita Day! Also known as the day Mike W woke up a sleeping residence challenged man sleeping in front of Top's with a plastic bugle. Good battle agin. My vote goes to the Zone and Do the Thing..not to be confused with the ting on the ting. Did you consider Santa Monica by Everclear? Not that we ever made any good decisions after Everclear. I'm just sayin'. I remember Harvelle's well. I also remember seeing the Zone or an iteration perform live, not sure where though. Alas, I only experienced one Margarita day as I quit Margaritas in July of 86. Happy New Year my friend.<br /><br />Much JW, <br />PoohPooh Lynthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12105973977534065414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043167264059951487.post-6610937974028103132019-01-02T02:41:22.574-08:002019-01-02T02:41:22.574-08:00Stephen,

I'm not sure if the hour of day (it's 5:35am) has anything to do with it or maybe it's the mood I'm in but I preferred <b>Theory Of A Deadman</b> with their more laid back vibes. I don't drink as you know. Never developed a taste or love for alcholic beverages. I count that as a good thing seeing how it can become habit forming and the high calories per drink is crazy. Anywho, the strongest thing for me is black coffee. lol Good first battle of the year!<br /><br />I hope the Lord gives you good health, happiness, and prosperity throughout 2019, my friend!<br /><br />☆¸.•°*”˜˜”*°•.¸☆ ★ ☆¸.•°*”˜˜”*°•.¸☆<br />╔╗╔╦══╦═╦═╦╗╔╗ ★ ★ ★<br />║╚╝║══║═║═║╚╝║ ☆¸.•°*”˜˜”*°•.¸☆<br />║╔╗║╔╗║╔╣╔╩╗╔╝ ★ NEW YEAR ☆<br />╚╝╚╩╝╚╩╝╚╝═╚╝ ♥¥☆★☆★☆¥♥ ★☆ ♥♥♥Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.com
