The penguin did it.

Tell me about it. I had a litter of mice up inside the wall of one of my bedrooms. I could hear them thumping around but couldn't figure out how to get rid of all of them at the same time. Then the mother got eaten by an owl or something, and after 2-3 days the litter died. And it stunk - I mean a sickly-sweet, eye-watering miasma that turned that whole room into the Amityville Horror. I've dealt with a dead mouse in the wall before - give it a few days and it will dry out. I don't know how many dead mice were in that wall but they had the collective putrifying power of an adult opossum. After a week or so, I was this close to cutting a hole in the wall and scooping them out myself. Good times... 1. If you put out traps or poison, put it along the walls. Mice tend to hug the walls when they travel (don't like being exposed on all sides). 2. If you put out a trap - and the next day the trap has been sprung, and moved a considerable distance - you need a bigger trap. True story. 3. Seal up any holes leading into the house and get rid of anything that mice might want to hide in, under or around. Time to take those old newspapers to the recycling center. 4. Get a cat. They're wired to hunt and almost always get their mouse, unless the mouse is Speedy Gonzalez or a baby kangaroo.

I've heard some of the local (ATL) on-air talent speculating that the two of them may have known each other from before. Duluth isn't one of the better places to run to if you're on the lam - although it is a good place to run away from if you're a runaway bug-eyed bride.

Or "Play Giant Steps!"

Meth - is there anything it can't do?

"Sorry about that, chief." I've heard and used that one often...

And Sanborn was playing Julius Hemphill songs on a Tim Berne release, Diminutive Mysteries (Mostly Hemphill).

That must have been the bowl of peenuts...

Neil Diode, as featured on the soundtrack to Jonathan Livingstone Semiconducter.

Tony Little Cheer down, dude... ... and lose the mullet.

Matthew Lesko aka Riddler-Lite Don't know if he's legit or not - just know that he's annoying.

Oh yeah - that brings back memories...

I'm mostly about Cthulhu these days...

It's a little bit country, a little bit rock'n'roll.

Michael Jackson to record song to benefit victims of Katrina. In related news, Katrina and the Waves will record a song to benefit the victims of Michael Jackson. /Thanks, I'll be here all week. Try the veal. //Not my joke - stole it from Fark.

It changes back and forth between Jackson Pollack's Fathom Five and this:

I have two: the one I use to scrape ice off of my windshield, and the one I use to scrape dogshit off of my shoe. The dogshit one sounds the same before or after.

Here's a picture of Mr. Pink failing class...

Make yourself a card that identifies you as someone with Tourette Syndrome. Then you can bark your way through his set with impunity.

Too bad they couldn't get some commentary from Denis Leary and Bob Newhart - they might have had some interesting takes on it.

Right after I saw the movie, I sent this message to a friend of mine: You could scale Mount Everest... You could be pulled out of the crowd during the 9th inning of Game 7 of the World Series to pinch-hit a grand slam... You could singlehandedly doodle a cure for cancer while writing the rough draft of your speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize for curing baldness and obesity... But you can't say you've really lived until you've heard the Smothers Brothers tell "The Aristocrats". Sarah Silverman's take on it was one of the funniest deadpan things I've ever heard. Good God, she has such a foul mouth. And seeing Andy Ritcher telling the most offensive joke in the world to his daughter was really touching.

I got my copy from CD Baby about 3 weeks ago.

Another vote for Tenderly - takes all the awards for composition, arrangement, and performance.
