Mr. Chester says, "it's rhymed since before the '30's". >:-{)>

Chester Cheetah would have done anything to get his first gig.

>> ^qualm:

Two years ago you downvoted my sift of two otters fucking on the dock by my place.

Tiger? That was Chester Cheetah if ever I've seen him. It ain't easy being cheesy, especially on stage, surrounded by modern dancers.

Looked like there were lasers tho.

I want to tell you about the most wonderful place in the world: Doggie heaven.
In doggie heaven, there are mountains of bones, and you can't turn around
without sniffing another dog's butt!

Bart: Is there a doggie hell?
Homer: Well... Of course, there couldn't be a heaven if there weren't a hell.
Bart: Who's in there?
Homer: Oh, uh... Hitler's dog... and that dog Nixon had, what's his name,
um, Chester...
Lisa: [annoyed] Checkers.
Homer: Yeah! One of the Lassies is in there, too. The mean one!
The one that mauled Jimmy!

Some other fact about Les Paul (aside from inventing "The Log"):

- Invented multi-track recording
- broke his right arm in an auto accident and had it set so that he could continue to play guitar


Check out the album (that's right, I said ALBUM) Chester and Lester, Guitar Monsters - fantastic stuff!

I'm not sure which side to take on this, but regardless, this post is disingenuous.

"Increasing the probability that you will harm someone by an outrageously insane degree" is virtually equivalent to "harming someone" as far as the law is concerned.


And as far as the law is concerned if you disturb the peace, you go to jail.

No one would know about Chester's naughty little habbits if the law wasn't looking for people like him. His actions have no effect on what happened to little kids, direct or indirect. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure it's on a level a little more subtle than "industry." Upskirt guy? If no one knew, then no harm done, right?

In this moron's argument, the drunk guy or the speeder haven't harmed anyone, so they're good peaceful people.

So the only reason you should go to jail is if you damage someone's property or if you harm someone?
According to this prick, Chester jerking off to kiddie porn he downloaded shouldn't go to jail.

Whoever produced the child porn engaged in "harming someone" to say the least, and consumers of this product are the reason the industry exists, so it's not a large logical leap to conclude that Chester falls under the definition of "harming someone".

The guy the takes pictures up girl's skirts shouldn't go to jail.

This is pretty clear-cut. Emotional harm is harm.

The the guy going 130 down the freeway shouldn't go to jail. The guy driving recklessly drunk down the road shouldn't go to jail.

These are getting less and less defensible. "Increasing the probability that you will harm someone by an outrageously insane degree" is virtually equivalent to "harming someone" as far as the law is concerned.


well said,
i really dont know why this would be a touchy subject.
disagree with is methods,but he has a right.
eh..maybe im wrong..

@ enoch:

People need to work to make money to eat and live, you know. Don't take it out on the lowly cashiers. Take it out on the policy makers. Go to a fucking town hall meeting.

Motherfucker, if you break the law, you go to jail. All those "peaceful" people you're whining about broke one law or another. if you don't want to go to jail for disturbing the peace, don't be a pompous ass like this and disturb the fucking peace.

Fine. Don't pay taxes. But you're not allowed to send your kid to school. You're not allowed to drive down the road or walk on the sidewalk. If your house burns down, you're not allowed to have the fire department come to help. If your kid falls out of a tree and impales himself on a fence post, you're not allowed to call paramedics. If someone is breaking into your house, you're not allowed to call the police.

What the fuck do you think taxes are for, dick?

I'm ashamed to say that, that dog pisses longer than I do. I tip my hat to you Chester, you're more of a man than I.

BTW, loved your cameo in http://www.videosift.com/video/Super-Bowl-s-Cheetos-Chester-the-Cheetah

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor#Trivia, it's been used in;

The "Lucia Sextet" (Chi mi frena in tal momento?) was recorded in 1908 by Enrico Caruso, Marcella Sembrich, Antonio Scotti, Marcel Journet, Barbara Severina, and Francesco Daddi, (Victor single-sided 70036) and released at the price of $7.00, earning it the title of "The Seven-Dollar Sextet". The film The Great Caruso incorporates a scene featuring a performance of this sextet.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody is best known to some from its use by the American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges in their short films Micro-Phonies and Squareheads of the Round Table, sung in the latter with the lyrics "Oh, Elaine, can you come out tonight...." But the melody is used most dramatically in Howard Hawks' gangster classic "Scarface": Tony Camonte (Paul Muni) whistles "Chi mi frena?" in the film's opening sequence, as he guns down a ganglord boss he has been assigned to protect.

It has also been used in Warner Brothers cartoons: Long-Haired Hare, sung by the opera singer (Bugs Bunny's antagonist); Book Revue, sung by the wolf antagonist; and in Back Alley Oproar, sung by a choir full of Sylvesters, the cat.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody also figures in two scenes from the 2006 film The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese. In one scene, Jack Nicholson's character is shown at a performance of "Lucia di Lammermoor", and the music on the soundtrack is from the sextet. Later in the film, Nicholson's cell phone ringtone is the sextet melody.

The Sextet is also featured during a scene from the 1986 comedy film, The Money Pit.

In the children's book "The Cricket in Times Square," Chester Cricket chirps the tenor part to the "Lucia Sextet" as the encore to his farewell concert, literally stopping traffic in the process.

An aria from the "mad scene," "Il dolce suono" (from the 3rd Act), was re-popularized when it was featured in the film The Fifth Element in a performance by the alien diva Plavalaguna (voiced by Albanian soprano Inva Mula-Tchako and played onscreen by French actress Maïwenn Le Besco). A loose remake of this film version of the song was covered by Russian pop singer Vitas.

The "mad scene" was also used in the first episode of the anime series Gankutsuou (in place of L'Italiana in Algeri which was the opera used in that scene in The Count of Monte Cristo).

The "mad scene" aria, as sung by Inva Mula-Tchako, was used in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent involving the murder of a young violinist by her opera singer mother (who performs the song right after the murder).

The "mad scene" was released as a music video by Russian male soprano Vitas in 2006.

Among other selections from the opera, the "mad scene", "Verranno a te sull'aure", and "Che facesti?" feature prominently in the 1983 Paul Cox film Man of Flowers, especially "Verranno a te sull'aure," which accompanies a striptease in the film's opening scene.

The opera is mentioned in the novels The Count of Monte Cristo, Madame Bovary and Where Angels Fear to Tread and was reputedly one of Tolstoy's favorites.

"Regnava nel silenzio" accompanies the scene in Beetlejuice in which Lydia (Winona Ryder) composes a suicide note.

A portion of the opera is also used in a key scene of the film The Fifth Element, written and directed by Luc Besson.

I'm glad I got to experience that moment with my best friend and a few hundred other people :-)

In reply to this comment by alizarin:
Wiki summary:
As Obama and Chief Justice John G. Roberts recited the Oath of office, Obama interrupted Roberts as he administered the oath. Roberts then incorrectly recited the Oath of office, stating, "that I will execute the Office of President to the United States faithfully" (rather than "that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States"). Obama began to recite, and paused, whereby Roberts attempted to correct his mistake.[23] Several constitutional lawyers have said that Obama should retake the oath as soon as possible, as Calvin Coolidge and Chester A. Arthur did under similar circumstances.[24]

I'm sure he redid it already in private.

I watched the inauguration in a packed theater in my home town and it was an incredible experience for someone who's lost faith in his fellow Americans over the past 8 years.
