Today in Eagles History

[Freypower]

Can I just state the latest one about Glenn's proposed 'homage to Detroit' album, is a classic.

It is weird because I was listening to Prince's Sexy MF yesterday....

Soda, these are great. But so far, I think the prize goes to Glenn's 'homage to Detroit'

All day long, I was wondering if anyone was going to say anything or just "let it ride". I love how each event got increasingly far-fetched as the day went on. Great job again, Soda!

1989: Joe Walsh invents the internet

This came up today in my google alerts. I thought I really had something till I saw the URL ~ LOL

[TimothyBFan]

I know what you mean- The Timmy one about him stealing the hotel keys came up on my alerts today also. Too funny!!!

[Troubadour]

These were brilliant, Soda! Thanks for the laugh.

I particularly love the butter sculpture one (cute!) and "Take It Easy, Mutha F*****!"
