and if i had a mouthful of coffee it would be all over the screen.

do you think he should join the "best in show" shih tzu's in recreating classic
hollywood?

can i join the bass conspiracy?  i'm not sure how much ass i can put back into it
(though one my computer generated "prison bitch" names is indeed "juicy ass".
another variation that came up was "nipple nibbler".   not bad i guess) but i can
certainly hold down the rhythm whilst other members fly off into fretboard gymnastics
i'm certainly not capable of.

any rip at the magic people also wins my heart.  did the dwarves have half-formed
mustaches and big t-shirts with whales and wolves on them?  were they armed with
wooden swords and a girl in a medieval dress?  if you're gonna do it, you might as
well do it right.

i've heard wildly mixed opinions on the anne sofie encounter myself.  it's still not
in my hands.  what to do, what to do......

buy david byrne's new one in the meantime i guess, complete with lenticular cover and
bonus tracks.  (a borders exclusive!  woo woo!)

(rumor has it there's some light at the end of the tunnel though, steve.  until then,
go play GH!! and remember....he could always be *sting*)

and now i guess some productivity should at least be faked, so off i go
