No update from Siobhan lately, so you know what that mean...

Eve and TC say yes, but Grace, Sam and Miguel say no; later they change their minds. The tabloid reporter prints out the issue where they will reveal Ethan's true parents!

One Year Ago
The set list from Six-One-Six, circa 1990.

Two Years Ago
Lots of presents for Momo.

Both of these entries contain Super Bowl references. Just an observation.

Random Sonya quote:

"I'd go see Kid Rock if he had the midget with him, but the midget's dead."

I also heard some Hungarian folk music on WTUL the other day. Who knew they even had folk music in Hungary?

You know what it sounds like? I'll tell you. If you've ever seen Dumb and Dumber you'll remember the scene where Jim Carrey asks dude if he wants to hear the most annoying sound in the world. Then he screeches for like fifteen seconds or so.

This is Hungarian folk music. The pitch of the screech does change occasionally, though.

After five minutes I was singing along to a Hungarian folk song I had never heard!

Radio: "Eeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaehhhhhhhhhiiiiioooooooooo...."

Me: "....aaaahhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooo...."

Radio: "....oooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhheeeeeeeeee...."

Me: "....iiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhh....."

A duet of the retards, if you will.

Oh, and that "wallet full of blood" line I quoted the other day? You know who recites that? Lee Marvin. Lee Marvin! How did some noisy Canadian indie band get Lee Marvin to come in the studio and lay down a track with them? That would be like Ernest Borgnine coming in and writing a guest entry here!

Siobhan wrote and told me that the dentists aggressively pursue her wisdom teeth as well. And, apparently, her wisdom teeth are even deeper and less troublesome than mine. One is down in her leg, somewhere.

So this leads me to my theory: dentists are actually an alien race whose massive spaceship crashed here centuries ago. Their spaceship is buried deep beneath Mount Petit Jean in northwestern Arkansas, but that's beside the point. Anyway, these aliens found that the only substance on earth that would...I don't know, power their ship's hyperdrive, I guess, is in the wisdom teeth of humans. Since they had dental technology and we didn't they set about estabilshing themselves as a whole new profession - and we have yet to guess their sinister purpose!

And no they've got to get off the planet soon, because there's a big intergalactic hootenanny going on soon that they don't want to miss. So they're really leaning on folks for those wisdom teeth.

I think it makes sense.

Going to Memphis for the weekend - Sonya needs a haircut, I need to get my car inspected. No doubt I'll have entertaining stories when I get back.

I made the Boogie Down 5 CD last night, and if Napster cooperates this evening we'll also have The Big Hair CD to listen to on the drive through Mississippi. Fun.
