Great stuff. Can't wait for them to drop an album.

And my crush on Sara Watkins gets deeper by the day.

Nice knowing you westerners

I'll be in the bunker.

Time to recall all of the maritime navigational charts and write "HERE THERE BE PIRATES" next to Somalia/east coast of Africa. Might have to add "seriously - we're not kidding. Pirates." since ship captains can't seem to understand that these days.

Things I don't give a shit about:

Twilight
True Blood
Vampires in general (emo fucks)
Ford trucks
0% car financing
Fast food
Sarah Palin
The monument to terrible writing that is Heroes
Celebrities
Celebrity opinions
Sarah Palin's celebrity opinions

It's too early for this shit.

Oops, time to go to work.

So Fark.com is having a discussion which begins with "if you could erase five bands from history ...."

I had to think about it. I'm going with:

Blink 182 (ten years later and every new band *still* sounds like these fuckers)
The Bee Gees (obvious reasons)
Guns N Roses (fuck it, I hate 'em)
The Beastie Boys (I know, blasphemous, but their voices and background music grate on me after a while)

I had problems thinking of a fifth. I could go with something simple like "Britney Spears" or "nickelback", but I'm actually leaning towards The Jackson Five right now. Gasp. But Michael Jackson! Thriller! Noooooooes! But goddamn that family is just frightening and I'm willing to lose Thriller to keep them off of my TV for my entire life.

The problem with kids today is no work ethic. Start 'em early:

Haven't laughed so hard in the morning in a long time.

These are not the hammer.
