Rock Out With Your C*ck Out

Metal Mania III

That's right, this week the metal mayhem begins.  I can't wait to see all the crazy costumes and band names that you all created.  I've heard rumors or cod pieces, spiked leather dog collars, and mullet wigs.  Personally, I’ll be sporting leather pants, so I hope that it’s not 90 degrees with 90% humidity.  Even if it is, my ass simply looks too good in them to not wear them.    

In addition to your feather boas and Aerosmith-inspired unitards, each of you should come up with your fictitious band name.  Use these classics as inspiration:  Dokken, Guar, Danger Kitty (a fake one), Faster Pussycat, Warrant, Ratt, LA Guns, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Moterhead, Stryper, Poison, Motley Crue, Fat Guy Trio, King Cobra, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Slaughter, Clay Aiken, Spinal Tap, and Skid Row.    If you can't come up with your own name, try combining parts of 2 of the above bands.  For example, Quiet Tap or Twisted Poison.

Action Item:

Let me know whether you will be at Thursday’s 7:15 game against the #1 team, My Left Foot.

Scouting Report:

Another team of bunters.  I can arrange for no Munters, but the chicks will bunt.  They are usually guy-heavy and tend to take it a bit too seriously.  They still laugh and have fun, but trust me, they relish that they are the #1 squad.  So let’s glam it up and show them that being goofy is more fun than scoring.  Runs, that is. 

Captain’s Tip of the Day:

–         You know the deal by now.  Kick the ball on the ground. 

–         The right and left fielder backs up throws to 1^st and 3^rd, respectively. 

–         Remember that playing 2^nd base means that you actually stand in between 1^st base and 2^nd base

–         Work out substitutions with someone of the same sex between innings. 

Libations:Action Item 2:  Who’s bringing the cups & booze?  Hopefully you worked this out last week.    

Heaven isn't too far away,
Closer to it every day. (oh-oh)
No matter what your friends might say…
We'll find a way (Whoa, yeah, babe)

–Heaven,  Warrant

A little something about Warrant…

Warrant was formed in Los Angeles by guitarist Erik Turner in July 1984.  In January 1988 Warrant signed a contract with Columbia Records, and in April they began recording their debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. It was a significant success, spawning 3 hits: the #2 power ballads "Heaven" and "Sometimes She Cries", and the rock anthem "Down Boys".Shortly following the release of the album, Warrant toured with Paul Stanley, Queensrÿche, Cinderella, Poison, Mötley Crüe and Kingdom Come. Kingdom Come members Rick Steier and James Kottak would later join Warrant.The band's second record, the Cherry Pie, was released in March 1990, and featured guest appearances by Poison's C.C. DeVille, Danger Danger's Bruno Ravel and Steve West, and Fiona. The album, which spawned the hits "Cherry Pie", "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "I Saw Red", reached the Top Ten in the United States, and went on to sell 3 million copies. The record's title track, only included on the album as a result of record company pressure, received strong exposure on MTV and became the band's most successful single.The release of "Cherry Pie" was followed by a tour with the band Poison.

And then grunge hit…
