Freddy Mercury *was* the single greatest thing to ever happen to this world.

Oh, that’s beautiful.

I was just listening to the Flash Gordon theme the other day… the second best thing to happen to the world. Fantastic.

I love Queen. And I love wondering if any of the muy macho types pumping their fists to “We Will Rock You” realize their rocking with the biggest queen since Bowie in his prime?

Freddie is definitely the best thing that ever happened. He was born to be that, couldn’t have been any other way. Thankfully. If you haven’t listened to Golden Boy (it’s on YouTube), you MUST!! again and again. At full volume + some.

Ok, yes, yes, Freddie Mercury is awesome. I agree wholeheartedly, but my point was really all about THE HIGHLANDER.

Right?

Oh, fer fuck’s sake… Just realized I typed “their” instead of “they’re” in my comment. I should be decapitated.

It’s early Justin. I should’ve caught it. I usually edit typos for people I like.

I was hoping it was about the highlander. Great movie. In fact, I need to watch it again. Tonight. While drunk.

Oh, no wait. you did it right. That’s the right their.

9 kiala { 03.21.08 at 11:28 am }

Yes, Chris, you should. You should also, more importantly, watch the series and then write some fan fiction.

Ok, I’ve totally lost touch with reality now.

Finally.. something I can “get in on the conversation” with!

I used to live in an apartment building on High St. in Eugene called “The Highlander.” I would tell people “It is on the corner of 13th and High.. it is yellow and called the Highland. You can’t miss it, there can be only one.”

Only a few people got that joke.

11 Robert { 03.21.08 at 11:35 am }

Shit. It is yellow and called “The Highlander” is what I meant.

I CALLED IN SICK TO WORK TODAY! WHOOOO

That may be the most pure expression of ROCK (all caps means business) I have ever witnessed. Also possibly the best pairing of a band and a movie in history.

Just awesome.

I’m glad it made you wonder, too.

I really did mean “they’re,” as in “…realize they are rocking…” Not the possessive “their.”

Freddie fans should lend an ear to this fellow:

No, he’s not the second coming Freddie. But he’s definitely got something, and Queen’s Brian May seems to like him.

Wait. Whaat? OMG! That was fantastic. Thank you, Kiala.

Is it sad I laughed outloud to robert’s highlander joke? I think I need to stop reading this. Its keeping me from fitting in with people I don’t care about. And that’s what really matters. That and the wine in my hand.

I think Im drunk commenting. Yikes, blog faux pas, the worst kind.

Freddie Mercury’s mustache vs. Chuck Norris’s beard. After that video, I’m leaning towards Freddie.

And is it “Freddy” or “Freddie”?
