-i never got to play the 3rd-best collegiate golf course in the country

-big d and the kids like to say the f-word a lot

-kings

-dan and teresa’s response to the first jack

-the pizza that almost broke up the band

-yard sales, auto shops, and exotic tanning parlors

-the men of “open till midnight”

-the northern family, and their beautiful motel

-crystal cockayne (and her future husband)

-beirut/beer pong (and steve, my CHBB)

-signing someone’s guitar

-psycho matt and the rest of the seven-hour crew

-the four capitals that start with the same letter as the states they capitalize

yup.

Sorry, no crotchless

Fun show the other night with Ban Vanai and The Good Flame. The former had some truly headmelting spacerock, and the latter was (and is) the most offensive band in all of Christendom. Performance art of the highest magnitude, and God bless them for doing it, but my attorney has advised me to never actually go on record as endorsing them, so I’m going to have to leave it at that.

Although they are f-ing geniuses. And even though they’re based out of Portland, they’ve somehow managed to get locked in mortal verbal combat with a number of Australians and some of the biggest names in right wing political blogging.

Truly, the most well-hung men in North America.

this week, the GOP and the LLC continue their mutually exclusive marches down the footpaths of destiny.

GOP: moderate Republicans like Arnold Schwarzenneger and Rudolph Giuliani will try to convince undecided voters that George W. Bush is the best man for the job.

LLC: Dave and I will try to convince college students that, although the critics say otherwise, a vote for SWLLC is not a wasted vote. Also, we’ll smile at coeds and drink some beer.

new york, here we come.
