Songs With "Near" In The Title

Because I myself am the living embodiment of randomness, occasionally – hmm, better make that often – I feel compelled to post random things like this: a collection of completely unrelated songs whose only similarity is that they have the word "near" in the title. All things being equal, a later post today will include a collection of songs all bearing the word "far" in the title. No reason, just being random – as per usual. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Weird Pictures Of Famous People From Albuquerque

Bad) is looking slightly homeless here.
"Brother, can you spare a crime?"

Alisa Valdes (author of The Dirty Girls' Social 
Club)  is on the fence about whether she 
should  let you onto her property. You look
 like a shady character, if you ask her.

Al Unser, Jr. (racecar driver) wants to see what happens
 when you chant his name three times in succession. 

Arian Foster (NFL player) bets he could have
stayed on longer than 8 seconds if he hadn't
 eaten that last pulled pork BBQ sandwich.

Bill Daily (from TV's I Dream Of Jeannie
and The Bob Newhart Show) is fully
prepared to bust out your subwoofers with
his mad bass-playing skills. Yeah, boyee!

Demi Lovato (actress/singer) – she's the one on the right, by the way –
loves getting smoochie from hideous-looking monsters. Except for that
time she dated one of the Jonas Brothers. She made an exception then.

Don Alvarado (assistant director/production manager
of classic films such as The Treasure Of The Sierra
Madre, East Of Eden, and Rebel Without A Cause)
– that's Don on the right – wasn't really
"differently abled," he just liked to make fun of
people who were. At least he did in this picture.

French Stewart (TV's 3rd Rock From The Sun)
likes to hang out with his imaginary friend.
He calls him Paco, and feeds him Cheez Whiz.

Madolyn Smith Osborne (Funny Farm, Urban 
Cowboy) likes to eat as obnoxiously as 
possible. She's hoping that it gets her noticed
 so that maybe someday she'll actually 
have  a career in films again. Maybe.

Powers movies and countless other hit 
comedies)  likes puppies, long walks on
 the beach, and staring down at you 
from the upper level of the shopping mall.

Neil Patrick Harris (TV's How I Met 
Your Mother) thinks he's matador-able
 in  this crazy get-up. Personally, 
I think that's just a load of bull.

to teach a kid to play the game of golf again, not in a million years, no
matter how much you pay him. Not even if you say "pretty please!"

Child actor Seth Adkins (Titanic, Bad News Bears)
 is not going down without a fight. He has all his grown-up
 teeth now, and he's not afraid to bite his way out
 of this or any other life-threatening situation.

Weird Baseball Cards

 If he doesn't catch any fly balls with that 

monstrosity, Mickey deserves to be tarred 

and feathered and sent of out town on a rail.

Gino wasn't very good at swinging the bat, 

but he loved to pretend like he was a slugger.

 Oscar loves his bat. I mean, really LOVES it. Creepy!

 Back in the day, baseball players didn't get paid

ridiculous salaries like they do these days. So

owning simple things – like tweezers or razors,

for example – were a luxury that not everyone 

could afford. Case in point: Wally here.

I've heard of 'roid rage, but even for José 

Canseco, this is more than a bit ridiculous. 

 Jay keeps cool and dry in rainy weather 

with his one-of-a-kind beer-can umbrella hat.

 As it turns out, Oscar didn't do so well at the

plate. But his hair hit 17 homeruns all by itself.

If anyone ever looked like a Stubby

 Clapp, this guy certainly did!

 You too can win Rookie Of The Year 

by working out with a dinky little barbell 

like the one Mike here is lifting. And if 

you call in the next five minutes, we'll 

double your order! That's right, you get

two barbells for the price of one! Just pay 

separate shipping and handling. CALL NOW!

 Have you hugged your 

dugout today? Rex has!

"I'm hoping that if I wear this 

thing long enough, someone will 

swing by and bring me tacos."

 "Can you hear me now? Good. Look,

I need to get off this ginormous cell

phone now. They're taking my picture

for the baseball card. Yes, I'll remember:

Bread, eggs, and Blueberry Pop Tarts.

Okay, love you too, honey. Bye."

"Why couldn't they take the picture

after my haircut? I mean, is that too

much to ask, guys? I reckon it is."

 "I like big snakes, and I cannot lie..."

"Hey, Sailor."
