Weird dreams last night. One involved a portal to another time and/or place that I found behind a painting in an antiques store. Very Malkovichesque. Another involved a dry hump in Domino's Pizza. Very strange--I don't even like Domino's.
1. "We're old friends of Debbie's. I used to romp with her." Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Dr. Gonzo says it when he and Raoul Duke are trying to get into Debbie Reynolds's show.
8. "Who's there?" "It's the mad rapist." River's Edge. It's when Layne (Crispin Glover) is tapping on Clarissa's bedroom window. He actually just wants some money, of course.

Rodeo in Salem gets unexpected song rendition
A man purportedly from Kazakhstan launched into a diatribe instead of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

No one knows for sure who he was, that Middle Eastern man in an American flag shirt and a cowboy hat who was supposed to sing the national anthem at a rodeo Friday night in the Salem Civic Center.
But he sure shook up this town before leaving in a hurry.
Introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan, he was said to be an immigrant touring America. A film crew was with him, doing some sort of documentary. And he wanted to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" to show his appreciation, the announcer told the crowd.
Speaking in broken English, the mysterious man first told the decidedly pro-American crowd - it was a rodeo, of all things, in Salem, of all places - that he supported the war on terrorism.
"I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards," he said, according to Brett Sharp of Star Country WSLC, who was also on stage that night as a media sponsor of the rodeo.
An uneasy murmur ran through the crowd.
"And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq," he continued, according to Robynn Jaymes, who co-hosts a morning radio show with Sharp and was also among the stunned observers.
The crowd's reaction was loud enough for John Saunders, the civic center's assistant director, to hear from the front office. "It was a restless kind of booing," Saunders said.
Then the man took off his hat and sang what he said was his native national anthem. He then told the crowd to be seated, put his hat back on, and launched into a butchered version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" that ended with the words "your home in the grave," Sharp said.

Jan. 12th, 2005 11:03 pmI was just thinking about southwest Virginia, and I remembered something I haven't thought about in a loooooooong time. When I was a manager at the Radford BK, I had this tie that my mom bought me as a joke, and I wore it quite a bit just to see what reactions I'd get. It had a U.S. flag motif, and right in the middle of it was this big-ass fucking motorcycle. Not once did I ever have anyone laugh at my tie, but many times I had someone say, "Right on, brother," and ask to shake my hand. And that was in 1995 or so. If I wore that tie today in southwest Virginia, I'd probably get marriage proposals.
