...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
TBinSTL chose the latest category: Anal Bum Covers. Here's how it works, I'll describe the album cover, you name the artist.
Since TBinSTL didn't indicate what dollar amount he chose, I'll make it $100. Please don't forget to name your dollar amount when you have control of the board.
Here's the clue:
Who is The Velvet Underground?

remember the instructions "peel slowly and see"? I loved the 60's
Posted by: jimi on Jul. 7, 2006*Bzzzzzzzzzzz* Who is the Velvet Underground?
I'll take "shoes shoes shoes" for $500.

Skippy is the correct answer, we musn't forget the sumptuous Ms. Nico who's vocal styling on "I'll be Your Mirror" suggested a life of enviable and incomparable misery. A ravaged beauty if ever there was one. Not that Lou has managed getting into his sixties without looking quite the worse for wear. (Name drop now....) He and I were having Pizza last spring on the LES (sitting at different tables unknown to each other) and he looks pretty beat up as does his always inventive wife Laurie Anderson.

(*Too scared to touch his buzzer/shocker thing, didn't know the answer anyway*)
No! No! No! The correct question is:
What is The Velvet Underground and Nico.
Posted by: Tuning Spork on Jul. 7, 2006Oh, wait.
Here's how it works, I'll describe the album cover, you name the artist.
Ooops. I guess Mike did get it. Curses!
Skippystalin is correct. I was wondering if you'd join us Skippy. I wonder if you sniffed out the Jessica Alba video and thought you'd stay for the game.
Skippy has control of the board. You may now either name a new category or stick with the existing ones. Don't forget your dollar amount.
Posted by: annika on Jul. 7, 2006I thought responding before leaving early for work, eastern time zone advantage, and absurd recollection of something I clearly shouldn't have remembered combined to assure me control of the board. As it were: NICO, nada, nil.
Nice work Skipster, let the game continue!
Posted by: Mike C. on Jul. 7, 2006Bogus! My answer would have passed muster with the judges!
If you're nitpicking, the correctest answer would be (after hitting the signalling device), "Who are The Velvet Underground and Nico."
And Strawman is, as usual, incorrect. Nico's vocal stylings on anything she sings suggest either she was strung out on heroin (again) or that she couldn't sing. Or both.

Posted by: skippystalin on Jul. 7, 2006Victor,
I don't know why you wouldn't agree that "incomprable misery" might be synonymous with being strung out on herion. I don't get the "wrong" of this equation unless you, during the halcyon days of your youth and drug abuse, thought yourself a happy fellow.
Posted by: Strawman on Jul. 8, 2006Geez, Strawman, I'm beginning to think you wouldn't recognize joking if you tripped over it.
Posted by: Victor on Jul. 8, 2006Victor,
Geez, VIc, I didn't know any of this was ever not humorous. But if you thought I was too sensitive I apologize.
