1. David Beckham - WTF is up with your arm? A tatoo or 10 is one thing, but IMHO when you ink up the entire limb, now you're just wearing a costume.

2. Aside from the Houston Texans, my two favorite teams are the New England Patriots, and whoever's playing the Miami Dolphins. This is really a two-pronged attack at the 1972 'Fins. I'm tired of them popping the cork when an undefeated team goes down, and the 2007 Dolphins going 0 - 16 would be extra poetic justice.

3. "Enchanted" is great. Amy Adams is the perfect princess. But what's up with Patrick Dempsey? For some reason, celebrity magazines say he's handsome. I don't see it. He certainly wasn't nearly as cool or good-looking as the prince in the "Enchanted". In fact, his character really isn't even likeable. If you ask me, Amy Adams got the short end of the deal.

4. What's up with all these rockers dying off? Some band's guitarist died; then the Quiet Riot singer died. Also, I'm getting tired of Amy Winehouse. And Pete Doherty. Those two fuglies need to disappear. Although I did read the Doherty interview in Rolling Stone and he was funny.

5. Damn, the stock market is really tanking. Good news for me, though! My plan to make $$$$millions looks even better.

6. Hillary Clinton turns me off, in more ways than one.

7. Ever met a guy that won a $100 million lottery? I have. What a nice guy. If you or I couldn't win it, then this is the guy you'd want to win. He was nice before he won it, and he's nice now. I'm glad he won it.

The Quiet Riot singer died? Damn, I'm going to have to check out Wikipedia.

8. Am I the only person in here that WASN'T born in November?

"Quiet Riot" singer found dead in Las Vegas By Dan Whitcomb

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kevin DuBrow, lead singer of the popular U.S. 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been found dead from unknown causes at his home in Las Vegas, authorities said on Monday.

DuBrow, 52, was found dead at about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday, a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner's Office said. She said an autopsy was under way on Monday to determine the cause of death.

"I can't even find the words to say," Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali said on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow."

Quiet Riot, which was founded in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, shot to the top of the Billboard charts with their smash 1983 album "Metal Health." It sold more than 6 million copies and is considered by many to be the first heavy metal record to top the pop charts.

The album's sales were spurred on by the band's monster hit, "Cum on Feel the Noize," featuring DuBrow's powerhouse vocal, and the song's video, which was played in heavy rotation on MTV.

Quiet Riot's follow-up albums did not sell nearly as well and DuBrow was essentially fired from the band amid the ensuing rancor.

DuBrow regrouped Quiet Riot in the 1990s and the band has since played sporadically, last releasing an album in October 2006.

Their "We're Not Gonna Take It" video that played homage to "Animal House" is one of the greatest videos ever.

That's Twisted Sister. Quiet Riot was "Cum on Feel the Noize".

Well I'll be goddamned if the lead singer of Quiet Riot didn't die yesterday. Thanks for the news.

This thread has taken a turn for the sad.

I can't feel the noise.

At least Dee Snider from Twisted Sister is still alive.

When they're done chopping him up,
then I suppose they will know the cause.
Or maybe not.

My bad. I didn't realize "Cum On Feel the Noize" was a cover of the 1973 Slade hit.

Well, I did list 7 other things on my mind.
