from NPR

a zebra Only 23% of people will be reincarnated as a higher form of life than you. Remain honorable in this life, and you can expect to be rewarded in your next life. nice!

happy birthday!!

the real scariest one!

While driving, you attempt to beat a freight train and drive around the gates. Thanks to a miscalculation on your part, the train collides with your car and crushes your body. Your car (and your lifeless body) continue to be pushed for several hundred feet until the train comes to a stop. ugh!!!

check out the "funny rat" thread - plenty of obscure there!

up!

up!

Diagnostic Overview: Your responses indicate a strong prediliction to drinking, in fact you're probably bombed right now. Get a grip, you dope- put down the bottle and switch to heroin. Studies show it's better for you in the long-run. Return to the clinic immediately for a high-colonic and don't come back till you're straight. People who answer as you did grow up to be successful prostitutes or drug-dealers (or both). Long-Term Prognosis: Deep-seated fantasies about Margaret Thatcher and roto-tilling equipment means you will never be able to pass as a normal member of society. Your disorder often leads to prancing about in the middle of a busy street at midnight in leotards and a cute umbrella. This is good, because being run over by a truck removes oddballs like you from the gene pool. Additional Fears: You're also afraid of hummingbirds, vanilla ice cream, and bathtubs. This is silly- when was the last time bathtubs caused you any harm? spot on!

happy birthday rod!!

Late, Late Show!!

have you asked me yet allen? i have been out of town and have not checked my pm's. oh heck - why keep you in suspense, of course i will let you interview me for the film! um - what kind of film is it again?

i spent some time this weekend listening to both discs again! i am perplexed by both versions of Off Five Dark Six - to my ears they sound completely different - as in 2 distinct compositions. am i far out in left field on this? A1 TAL 2LA - the duet with Malachi Favors - is wonderful! to my ears it feels like a journey down a lazy river! easily my favorite. i also really enjoyed Tahquemenon. this was such a strong number - i'll bet it was a joy to watch!! thanks again chuck!
