The Great Escape

Conan O’Brien, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side. Conan O’Brien, headed for the Pacific. Those of us who knew him best talk about him often. I swear the stuff he pulled....sometimes it makes me sad, though, Conan being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

Conan O'Brien in the buff, 1982

Damn straight he was made for late night television. Just look at his boney white ass.

WHAT SORT OF MAN READS PACO CAMINO?

He’s totally rad. Posing with his bodacious half-naked warrior babe and boss fire-breathing dragon Vallejo, this ripped studmuffin shops to the max at Chess King. Occasionally he’ll scope out Merry Go Round while listening to Ratt’s Dancing Undercover cassette on his Walkman, but fer sherr, that's only when he’s desperate for a gnarly studded leather belt to go with black nylon parachute pants. Did I mention the Paco Camino Man has bitchin’ fireproof hair? Well, he does. And it’s awesome.

Football Sunday. Kellen Winslow, 1982

The following handwritten letter was found crumpled up on the snow-covered steps of McKinley Hall:

Dear Lisa,

Hey girl, can you believe it’s the year 2010? Wow, I can still remember the first time I snuck into your room, rifled through your underwear drawer and put your silk panties to my face and deeply breathed them in like some kind of intoxicating aroma of forbidden sapphic desire. Wha? Huh? What was I saying? Oh yeah, I haven’t seen you since that restraining order expired and I’ve been meaning to ask you if it’s a good idea to continue hardcore tanning three times a week and skin-bleaching twice a week. Because like I’m totally getting spotty results. Maybe it’s that macramé one-piece bathing suit I never take off. Oh I don’t know, maybe it’s just my checkered past.

Hey tell that boner dickhead named Fellatio that he can blow me,

Kristin

Song of the Day:

Black Flag, “You’re Not Evil”

Dance Fever, 1981

Denice is a secretary, cosmetologist and a sometime bartender. Jon sells men's clothes, is an actor & impressionist and went to Denmark as a foreign exchange student. Couple #3 dances pretty well, but they'll lose points for the horrendous shower curtain outfits.

WHAT SORT OF MAN READS PACO CAMINO?

With the Heart of a Barracuda and the Soul of the Sea, he’s a Magic Man going Crazy On You Dreamboat Annie. Wearing a Bill Blass wool Donegal tweed balmacaan, a melon orange turtleneck with matching fine linen shirt and perfectly accessorized umbrella, he’s living an endless wet dream. Hooking some Bebe le Strange, The Paco Camino Man whispers to her, “Sing Child and Love Me Like Music, I’ll Be Your Song. We’ll enjoy White Lightning and Wine and see How Deep It Goes.” The Paco Camino Man: Way deep into '70s AOR concept albums and hot rock chicks from Seattle.
