Sad day on Welch Ave

Battle's BBQ closed. Read on.

Sad - they had great sauce. "Turkey sandwich on wheat please. Yes, I'd like a pickle. Chips are fine." Great place to people watch on the corner of Campustown, too.

I was a big fan when I lived in Towers AND the summer I sublet the apartment by the baseball field. Better known as 'the apartment where the riot had officially started at.'

Oh. Okay. Yes. I want that too, now.

To finally settle an outstanding question: "808's" are old-school drum machines. Not Area codes, not guitar pedals, etc.

Drum Machines.

Matisyahu - ONE DAY

Goring... not how I want to go out.

Still want to try this, Roscommon?

I saw this photo in an AP news story today. What used to be a simple caption with the photographer's name/location is now this:

Uh-oh

Ever see something and instantly go, "oh, I want THAT"?

Well - G.A.S. has struck again, and already know where the $$ from my current project is going to be going.

I ususually hate Ibanez guitars, but this one looks like something Jack White would play. The bigsby trem is a big selling point.

I know, I know - I don't need any more guitars. And I'm not getting this one. Yet.

Happy Independence Day!

Sarah Palin resigns. What a nice little gift for the holiday. What next? Iran says, "we were just kidding about that election. Not sure why we even had you fill out those ballots. We ended up using them to wipe our asses with our left hand. Sorry about misleading you into thinking you had a say in how your country is run."

Also - N. Korea: You obviously WANT to get into a war, so just effing nuke something already, so we can have an excuse to obliterate your arrogant (and stupid) ass. We see how far you can piss. Its not that far. You are the very short guy trying to walk like a rooster - all puffed up to look bigger than they are. Let us know if you ever want to switch your main export to anything other than "crazy."

"New Shoe Dance!"

I finally got some new kicks. I've been seriously frugal this year on shoes - I've needed to update my tennies for a while now, but just never had any shoes jump out at me.

Here's what I ended up with - Adidas "adi specific" white/royal/red. Men's 11.5

Rorschach Radar

If you were to say, look at this radar frame and see an evil smiley face very clearly - would that make you crazy?

what do YOU see?

Evil Inc.

After an incident several years ago at an Abercrombie & Fitch in Omaha, NE - I haven't been IN or purchashed anything from A&F. That was nearly a decade ago. I have one t shirt received as a gift which I have sharpied out the word "Abercrombie." Its a bad place - superficial, materialistic, racist, and overly perfumed.

So - I'm biased. I hate the place. I don't like the clothes, but I also have a strong dislike for the people who would work and shop there. Which sounds mean, but everyone I know that has ever worked there doesn't like it either, and all 3 of them have a story of bigotry, rasism, or sodomy.

But its hard NOT to hate the place when you hear stories like this.
