The cartoons were crap. I remember them all too well. Cracked was always crap. I read... 2 issues. I had to read a second issue, because I couldn't believe how bad the first was.

They meant to call the band ASLAN, but by the time they spotted the mistake, the cover art had already gone to the printer. ...and here's a post (and recipe link) for Chocolate stout cake. bsky.app/profile/nita...

In theatre, then? The master print and all known distribution copies have been lost for donkeys. I've only seen the pirate video, which-due to poor video syncing-is entirely unwatchable.

"Fishy, Fishy"? Is the restaurant entirely Python themed, or do they at least have an autographed photo of Danny John-Jules over the bar? "I'm gonna get you, little fishy."

Oh, my. I've only seen him once, in '99 at DC's 9:30 Club; solo, with just a couple of instruments. What a difference 23 years makes: full band, and having the time of his life!

Thank you. As a minister ordained by the Church of the Subgenius, I do try to keep track of other cults - if only to see if they're good for a laugh. This one...has possibilities. "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" - J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs.

Declining, but not gone. In our lifetimes, the fabled Northwest Passage has become reality, and practical for shipping. There is still ice to shove out of the way, though, and the US does need a few modern ice-breakers. Unfortunately, this administration is surely going to pooch the deal.
