This is a journalist/This is a corporate shill (the voicemail of Ringo)


August 2011

"Man, America's credit rating took a real hit this weekend. On Friday night, the U.S. actually lost its AAA status. Or as Joe Biden put it, 'What happens if I get a flat tire?'" –Jimmy Fallon

"China has told us our days of squandering borrowed money are over. So maybe we shouldn’t tell them we just spent $76 million going to the Smurf movie." –Conan O'Brien

"Standard & Poor’s has lowered our credit rating to AA, which means no one will lend us money or go to 2nd base with us." –Conan O'Brien

"The economy’s so bad Angelina Jolie is now adopting kids from America. My Facebook friends are now eating their Farmville animals. Piers Morgan can only afford to hack into the voicemail of Ringo." –Conan O'Brien

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

Please don't touch the harpsichord (Abraham Lincoln had a secretary named Ringo)


I don't like to complain but lately it seems whenever I have a dinner party I have to keep saying the five same words over and over again to my guests. “Please don't touch the harpsichord.” --David Letterman 8/26/1988
A stage costume worn once by Elvis Presley sold a couple of days ago in London for $48,000. The guy who bought it said he was going to donate it to his son's Little League field to be used as a tarp. --David Letterman 8/26/1988

Top Ten Revelations in Albert Goldman's Upcoming Biography of Ringo Starr
10. Only Beatle to portray himself in Beatlemania
9. Used to give John and Paul token songs to sing so they wouldn't feel left out
8. Had a secretary named Lincoln, while Lincoln had a secretary named Ringo
7. For a while actually believed Paul was dead
6. Served in Indiana National Guard during Vietnam War
5. Suggested Hey Hey We're the Monkees as the Beatles theme song
4. On their honeymoon he and wife Barbara Bach held a bed-in to promote Seagram's wine coolers
3. Made a fortune selling cheesy Ginsu knife sets on TV. Oh, I’m sorry. That’s a revelation about Ronco, not Ringo
2. Advised Paul that “Hey Dude” just didn’t sound right
1.  Vocal on “Octopus's Garden” played backwards sounds like “Thank God these other guys are so talented”

The Beatles - I'm a Loser







I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
