Ukulele Weeps
Check out this guy perform While My Guitar Gently Weeps...on a Ukelele.
Never drive faster
than your guardian angel can fly.
What?
This afternoon, just before 5pm, I was sitting in a dental chair with a
whole bevy of tools and cotton wads jammed in my mouth. Staring at the
ceiling, a catchy 80s pop tune starts to play quietly in the background.
My dentist is busily cramming or jaming or clamping or scraping on
something or another. When he begins to softly mutter the words to the
song in perfect unison; like it's the Lords Prayer.
I think to myself, "Dang, what is this tune? How come I don't recognize
it?"
Unable to speak, I'm forced to resign myself to ignorance on this one. I
can't say a word with my mouth full of all this crap. And if I try, my
dentist will think I need suction or another injection.
When, out of the blue--without even a blink from me--he blurts out,
mostly to himself:
He used to be a great singer, now he's a pedophile.Aha! Now I know. It must be a Michael Jackson song. Thu, 03 Jun 2004
Less than 10 minutes ago I heard a tune by Eyvind Kang on KFJC that I also heard last night on the same netcast. It spurred my curiosity--and since I couldn't remember how to spell his first name, I entered the following query in Google.
Low and behold. The current KFJC playlist pops up as hit #1. Wow! That was fast! I called the studio and Anthony confirmed he just keyed in his playlist.
You go, Google.

Bachelor Trick #642
Have you ever discovered that a couple dropplets of water on a dry
baguette and 15 seconds in the microwave can make it wonderfully
delicious again without forcing another trip to the dentist?
Well... the same technique works perfectly for cigars.
That extra overpriced stogey you forgot about--if it ain't too far
gone--needs only a couple of seconds in the 'wave and that tiny bit of
moisture deep in the fill tobacco will leap directly into the wrap. Thus
preventing it from crumbling into a hopeless bitter mess.
Pride
Corporations are not proud. Governments are not proud. People are proud.
