...Pink Flamingos, which describes the denizens of a bar in terms that suggest a watering hole in the African veldt. As guitar and piano skitter above a buttery bass line, Jones sings, ''Look at them -- poking like flightless birds/. . .the spirit cannot wait to fly like the pink flamingo.'' . Wild animals, with their quality of being both savage and pure, are a recurring motif. On the run from predators imagined or real, Jones' protagonists seek refuge in solitude or sex. On Tigers, men are portrayed as unpredictable beasts that can never be entirely tamed -- or trusted. ''Playing with tigers,'' Jones...
...gross-out radio act, like his book, is all about saying the unsayable -- at least, within the limits of what the FCC will allow a station to broadcast and still keep its license. Beavis and Butt-Head, with their geeky irresponsibility and maddening Neanderthal laugh, are adolescent ids running wild, doing everything parents tell you not to -- picking their noses, torturing pets, playing with matches.

And if ugly had a poster boy, it would be Mitch (''Wild Thing'') Williams, the reliever who has destroyed nearly as many games as he has saved but is the beneficiary of something like divine luck. Infernal, for the Braves. They won 104 games this season, a franchise record. They have solid management, savvy hitters and an awesomely polished quartet of young starting...
...Budweiser is made by a different country, I don't drink Budweiser anymore. I'll go back to Wild Turkey.' JORDAN MOORE, 21-year-old resident of St. Louis, Mo., on the $52 billion sale of iconic American brewery Anheuser-Busch to InBev NV of Belgium. Wild Turkey is owned by French company Pernod Ricard...
