final note.
al can always “piggyback” on the subway deal.
(man am i mean)
I want a torta.
I can’t figure out how to make it display automatically. Does anyone know?
Click “Switch to Advanced Editor” then click the little picture of a picture and paste in the url.
i’m still wiping the tears . haven’t had a good honkin’ bellylaugh like that in a while.
MS Paint fuckin’ rules. [:)]
I finally figured it out. Al looks like Synonamess Botch, from the animated film Twice Upon A Time.
Move the scraggly chin whiskers to the upper lip as a moustache, and presto! Compare:

Here’s a website for Twice Upon A Time, which is an excellent film… see the uncensored version if you get the chance:

al’s looking more and more like jack wild of h.r.puffnstuff fame. as you recall al was endlessly pestered by journalists asking if he WAS the actor in that show.
otherwise,al now looking fairly dickensian–“could i have some more please?”
It’s kinda sad really that his face is one big blob. you can’t tell where his face ends and his head begins. same with his chin/jaw where does his chin and jaw begin and his face end? sad! [:(]
Late,

I think people are reading to much into this. It happens sometimes when you get older. Ask George Lucas.

That’s true and I agree with you, but the thread’s still some funny stuff! This is what Al get’s for all those "I don’t want to keep playing when I’m old and fat"s he used to say in interviews.
there are plenty of people who don’t look half as bad and who’ve done far more damage to their bodies. granted, they now try and take care of themselves.
i remember hearing that barker had to drive al to the methadone clinic in austin more than once. i don’t know if that methadone treatment has had effects on him physically. i just don’t know. i DO know people get addicted to that crap as well.i also know people substitute one addiction for another. look at trent with his body building frenzy.
sometims it’s good. sometimes it’s puzzling or stupid.
Swelling of extemities and weight gain are side effects of methadone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methadone#Adverse_effects, but I don’t know that it’d cause your head to get any bigger. I’d also have to assume that, being on tour, he’s not visiting clinics every day. He may have a prescription.
That’s assuming that he hasn’t weened himself off of the stuff entirely, which is of course the ultimate goal of a methadone program.
yeah,the big head’s gotta be some genetic thing.
met al’s mom once. she was like charo.
“cuchi-cuchi.”(her head didn’t look all that big though, as i recall)
you don’t even need to take methodone anymore… more likely they perscribe something called suboxone… it’s an opiod blocker that also has a small percentage of opiate in it… so in a sense it helps ween you off while giving you just enough of what you want… take any more heroin or whatnot with that and all you get is hardcore withdrawl symptoms and not at all fucked up
When she gets mad at him does she hit him with a chicken or a rolling pin and curse him out in Spanish like Rosie Perez does to Mookie in Do the Right Thing? And does he say “Ma, You know I can’t understand a god damn word yer a-sayin’!!! Speak English fer chrissakes!!!”
That right there is some very funny stuff.
!
The plot thickens…
don’t know who al’s real dad is or was. the last name was adopted from the stepdad.
where’d the racecar driver story come from?i like it. if that was real dad, why the hell didn’t he power boat the entire clan out of “pre-castro cuba”? i still don’t buy any of the stories about when and where as far as al goes. maybe mom had an affair with a cuban coffee (soda) jerk in miami and the legend lives on.
al was not pleased to see good old mom when she showed up at the rockshows and in austin. she lives in boca raton-florida, last i cared.
cashed in the race kitty?
(pass the plantains somebody–quick)
For some reason, that brought Eric Cartman and his mother to mind.
Good stuff.
“But mooooooooom, I wanna totally screw over the Ministry fanbase!”
“Not today, poopykins! There’s hardly anyone in attendance!”
The story I remember was that his step dad was once an auto mechanic for some famous race car driver in the late '60s and not an actual race car driver, but who knows for sure [:/] Isn’t Al’s younger brother a doctor?
