Does the RIAA know this is going on?
That ad is the full page, inside cover ad of The Pitch this week. Think it will last?

A Morning Giggle

This one made me giggle, so I thought I’d share:
Two Nations
Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London.
One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat.
Just before takeoff, an American sat down in the aisle seat.
After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, “I need to get up and get a coke.”
“Don’t get up,” said the American, “I’m in the aisle seat.
I’ll get it for you.” As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the American’s shoe and spat in it.
When he returned with the coke, the other Arab said, “That looks good, I’d really like one, too.” Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up his other shoe and spat in it.
When the American returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
Why does it have to be this way?” he asked.
“How long must this go on?
This fighting between our nations?
This hatred?
This animosity?
This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes.”
Kurt Vonnegut and Other Things…

I’ve been reading Kurt Vonnegut recently, and it has me off balance. When I say reading and recently, I should add that I am almost done the second book by him that I have read. It is called “Timequake”. The first I read was “Breakfast of Champions”. The reason that I am off balance is because Kurt (can I call him Kurt?) is writing in first person about events that have aparently happened to him. He tells of his history, his family, his brother who aparently exists given the picture of him on the back cover, his children and so on. He also tells of this being the year 2010. As far as I know, it is not yet the year 2010.
I checked.
I’m really getting a kick out of these books because they are original. I have not read anything like this before. There are not many authors that I have read that I can say that about, and I’ve read enough to know.
So if you have not read Kurt’s work I’d definitly recommend it. I think it’s fun to read and I am still not sure if he’s serious or not. Don’t write and tell me if he is or isn’t though, because I want to find out for myself. I’m hoping that I do, because if not I am probably not smart enough to know and I don’t deserve to find out.
That may seem a little harsh, but if you had had the kind of last Thursday I had you would be a little down in the self esteem department too, but that’s a story for a never time.
Nightmares

Okay, you know what a cicada is right? Huge, monster demon bug that makes that NOISE all night? Sonja, my dog, just comes running into the house after being outside to pee and I hear that NOISE go running past me, through the dining room and right into my bedroom. That horrible demon screaching noise. My dog has this huge, satanic bug in her mouth and she turns around with it screaming and BITES DOWN.
The screaming stops.
She drops it on the floor. It’s easily 3 inches long.
My dog, who licks my face when she’s happy to see me, looks right into my eyes for a moment. She bends down, picks up this spawn from hell and starts to chew. She finishes every last bite, goes and has a drink of water and lays down.
Look, everyone has their thing. Some people are afraid of mice. I love mice. They can play in my hair if they want to. Some are afraid of dogs. I love dogs. I’ll go up to any dog and it’s my buddy in 10 seconds. I don’t do bugs. Any bugs. I hate bugs. I might never sleep again.
If that isn’t enough to convince you, take a look at this incredible picture Scott took of a bug getting ready to totally kick his ass.
Endangered species my ass.
