That crashing bull picture is totally priceless! Shit!

i will be there weekend of 18th and 19th... Hey, bring down a sixer of Night Watch from Maritime Pacific and DFA will see you at the Grasslands, word up.

Let's hope it's a vodka tonic with a lime wedge!

what's with this new intimacy you and Dr. Flash seem to have? RobJob, DFA liked you better before you finally cracked and checked into rehab. Maybe it was the substances keeping your more irritating tendencies in check, maybe your fanciful detours into pondering life's more abstract facets just brought out the better elements of your personality. In any case, your unintoxicated persona has all the appeal of a proctological exam with burlap gloves.

Dude, it's actually obvious to anyone who pays attention that Trask is just a bullshitter looking to crack wise and not take himself or anything else too seriously. The more seriously you take Trask's antics, the less seriously he's going to take you, resulting in some seriously unserious antics being dumped on you in quantity. Could be a lesson in there somewhere ...

"Get your bravery from a six pack Get your bravery from a half-pint Drink your whiskey, drink your grain Bottoms up and you don't feel pain GO OUT AND FIGHT, FIGHT GO OUT AND FIGHT, FIGHT GO OUT AND FIGHT, FIGHT GO OUT AND FIGHT, BOTTLED VIOLENCE!"

Whaddayou reckon the cameraman was thinking right at that moment?

Word to the Dru; lame-ass ravedancesexscene was over-long and uber-pointless. More sunglasses, black trench coats, and kung-fu gunfights in slowfuckingmotion, please. BLAOW!

Mostly "surgery cured it," with the caveat that it's still a little painful and doesn't like to be yarded on too hard, presumably 'cause of scar tissue, and DFA would guess probably the sutures in there, too. ... hey, that feels pretty good. And one, and two, and three, keep it going now, uh!

Does this piss-poor trip report of Dru's golden opportunity qualify as "yellow journalism"?

What's so depressing about red meat, raw porn, and hard liquor? Sounds like a reasonably fulfilling and well-focused existence.

Trask, Trask, Trask ... how many times does DFA need to tell you? Organizer, not sympathizer, and red, red, RED!

Oh, what do YOU know about it, pal?

Way to turn things around to the bright and positive side, Trask! A true beacon of uplifting energy, you are!

"WE LIVE OUR LIVES ANOTHER WAY NEVER REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY THE KIND OF FRIEND WHO DOESN'T FADE AWAY WE ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS" Rock on, SP; rock right the fuck on.

This coming from a guy with a Loony Toons avatar. Comment is unwarranted and unnecessary.

True! And how the head-spinningly beautiful Mrs. DFA gives said ladies the fits! Sending hard and looking fine, ooh, yes!

Don't forget the red star and the green fist, and we might pull through in pretty good shape while the money whores vainly try to patch their wounds with worthless stock certificates.

Erik, your hopelessly static worldview has caused you to fall perilously behind the leading, bleeding, cutting, slicing, dicing edge of modern society, rendering all you see blurry and incomprehensible, and in this case, hopelessly upside-down. Please refer to THIS LINK RIGHT HERE for an update on Dr. Flash Amazing's latest action in the leading charge of relevancy and social impact, sure to have the hipsters and sycophants gurgling in their martinis as they grope for words to describe the pure, unfettered progress in which they find themselves drowning, thanks to no one but DFA. Fuckin' A, brother; it's on now.

"A firesale on your future your life is their game wouldn't you like to play Here we go, congress one, progress zero You think your leaders are thinking about reform They'd sooner sit and watch our cities burn like Nero Makes you wonder what the FUCK you're voting for! For a change, who the fuck are you kidding, me? What we need is some good old fashioned anarchy You bring the torch and I'll bring the kerosene We'll strike a match and BURN THIS FUCKER DOWN! BURN THIS FUCKER DOWN! BURN THIS FUCKER DOWN! BURN THIS FUCKER DOOOOOOWWWN! BURN THIS FUCKER DOWN!" "Hey, profiteers with your rows of lovely homes and your shiny cars ... have you heard the news? Your blood is not gold you are replacement parts your trivial job vanishes when the market drops Capitalist, what have you done? What have you done by playing God? One thousand fists on the mansion doors now one thousand hands reach for the throat now the bombs exploded on the front lawn it's in the air ..."

Awesome. That was totally friggin' awesome. And yes, it's OK. Just peachy-keen, fine and dandy. Toodles, frere Canadien.

For God's sake, talk to a damn doctor, preferably an upper extremity specialist before you start throwing weights around or tugging on stuff! While some exercises will help your shoulder, some will exacerbate things. The shoulder being a complex, fragile, and tightly organized joint, it's easy to think the pain is coming from something other than what it's really coming from (see DFA's "rotator cuff" problem that turned out to be a labrum tear a-la Mr. Radon). A little inflammation will go a long way toward making everything worse as tendons that had very little room to maneuver in the first place get fat and have less room to move, and start getting irritated, and more inflamed, etc. Bottom line: diving into "recovery" exercises without properly diagnosing the problem could make things hella worse. Reiterating Mr. Radon's advice: if you don't have a definitive answer as to what is wrong (and your insurance is good!), firmly request an MRI, as this will usually catch what X-Rays will not, and may save you a lot of wasted PT time if what you really need is surgery. (And keep in mind that some things -- like the labrum tear -- will not heal without surgery, and, if left untreated, could lead to your biceps tendon tearing completely loose. If this happens, it's unreparable, and you're fucked. Mull it over.) Hopefully you don't have such a major problem, though. DFA tries to take care of his shoulders with lots of push-ups, and a slew of exercises and stretches he learned from the phys. therapist post surgery, (many of which can be found on the internet and are sorta tough to describe) as well as bouldering at his limit in the gym. Wait a sec, that last one may not be that helpful ... Also, if you're tired of pumping your body full of Advil, Aleve, Vioxx, Mobic, or whatever, try taking Bromelain, which is an enzyme from pineapples. While it's usually used as a digestive aid, it's also a fab anti-inflammatory (do some research on the internet before taking it, as there are things one should know about how it works before taking it), and has also been shown to help your body absorb glucosamine. Bonus! Good luck, hombre!

Did any of those allegations even get proven yet? You'd think if someone had a case, they might, um, you know, take the Governator to court or something.
