Hey, Peter, Where You Going with That Denture Cream?

During the necessary, autumnal Type O Negative fest in my living room Saturday past, The Stripes and I had many leftover thoughts about the possible horrors that could have turned Peter Steele from an incredibly tall and sexy frontman:



into this sad, angry guy who, let's face it kids, sounds like my Uncle Lou without his dentures in. Okay, that's a lie. I don't have an Uncle Lou, at least not that I know of, but seriously, is Mr. Steele in need of a denture refitting?

The video evidence for my claim does not allow embedding, but you can view it here:

Where's Pete's Dentures???

Peter Steele's always had a very deep voice and a thick Brooklyn accent, but wow! What a difference fifteen years and a couple months in jail will do to a guy. But we adore him anyway. He speaks his mind musically, which is all the ever really mattered to fans in the first place, but seriously... he obviously needs a hug!

Destination Truth or Dare

Now, this is a game I'd play without having to think twice. I wouldn't even need a six pack of Sam Addams Oktoberfest, unless we were going to play Destination Spin the Bottle...

So, my Destination Dare was to scare up a picture of Josh Gates as a Zombie in Photo Shop. Now I'm no photo shop wizard, but I'm pretty pleased with the end result... well, not pleased. I mean I'd seriously run from Zombie Josh, but I still think it's zombieriffic. Ladies and gentleman:

Photobucket

And now, and open letter to Josh Gates:

Dear Mr. Josh Gates,
Please avoid the condiments next time you're in Haiti. *wink*
Sincerely
Ms. Beans

Now it's your turn... Destination Truth... or Destination Dare? *muahahahaha* (What? It's Halloween, I can laugh like that if I want).

Beans on the Voice of Steve G.

Swirly-eyed is actually a very good description of Steve G's special voice. I think the only adjective I might add to that description is "Tango-addressed" Swirly-eyed voice. Greenstripes and I established during one of our incredibly serious afternoon sessions that the Tango-addressed swirly-eyed voice of Steve must be Steve Gonsalves teacher mode. Instructional...swirly...I often ask myself, "Does Steve talk to Tango like that off-camera?"

We've been watching Ghost Hunters for years. We clung tight through the tense transition of tech-manager power from Brian F$#@ING Harnois to Steve "Spider Fear" Gonsalves, and I have to say that before Dave Tango came into the picture, there was no swirly-eyed voice to be heard. EVER! Does Tango bring out the swirly voice in Steve? Inquiring minds want to know.

Beans, out!

NOTE: No Steve Gonsalves's were harmed during the inquiry into Steve's voice.

Steve and Tango at their finest:

The voice of Steve

Some who know me might think that title to mean the voice of the mighty little green striped man who is often dancing in my head......but alas! tis not thee. This time. ahem. I would like to start out by telling readers that from this moment forward, I shall be referring to the Steve of Steve and Tango as "Steve of Steve and Tango". Actually, that might get a little tedious for my fingers to punch out everytime I make a reference. So, maybe I'll call him Steve G. just for the sake of argument. Another thing I will be clarifying from the very beginning is the voice of Steve G. that I like to call "the swirly eye voice". I know that voices and eyes are typically not connected, but if you have seen Steve G. in action, you will know exactly what I mean by the swirly eye voice. My bff, co-pilot through the land of thick and thin, the one and only true missus of the Beans, might have another term for it but since she was so kind as to include the voice of Steve in our intro, I thought I might take a moment to introduce my own terminology.

Forewarning: I often neglect to punctuate, capitalise, and spell correctly

Let the screaming commence!!!!
