A hearty bun composed of sawdust and glue:
Im not sure what he has in mind but the guy behind the site MusicMisfits.com just posted something saying that hes going to be sponsoring a contest of some sort to give away a copy of the new Monkey Power record.
Genetically altered pickles that taste like barbeque sauce:
Iggy Pop is coming through Detroit in August. Hes playing with The Stooges again, for the first time in 30 years. I started my first band, with my friend Dan, in my parents garage because of Iggy and The Stooges (and The Ramones), and Im finding the prospect that I could actually see them play live, even if they are all approaching 60, to be terribly exciting. Ive seen Iggy play before, but I never thought that Id see him on stage with any of the other guys. The last quote I heard from Iggy on the subject of The Stooges was, Those guys couldnt assemble a home aquarium without me. I thought that marked the end of it. But now theres even talk of a new record.
Another genetically altered pickle that tastes like barbeque sauce:
I just wanted to point out that food scientists really are working on making pickles that can essentially kill two birds with one stone, that can both taste like pickles and like some condiment, or condiments, at the same time. They have also, Ive been told, created a pickle that, when sliced, glows bright purple.
A blob of sperm whale blubber:
It turns out that the giant mass of sea meat was not from a giant octopus, as we had all hoped, but from the carcass of a sperm whale. (Thanks to the great Doug Skinner for keeping us current on these developments.)
A bruised piece of venison:
Apparently men are paying up to $10K each to hunt naked women with paint ball guns in the desert outside of Las Vegas. (The women are not allowed to wear any protective equipment.)The end times, they are coming Mark my words.
A funny smelling fistful of lox:
John Stewart talks with Bill Moyers on “Now.” Here’s a transcript. It’s worth reading.
I need to go to bed now, but I want to leave you with one last question: Is Tenent going to take the fallfor Bushie? I guess the real question is, are Americans really that stupid?
Oh, before I go to bed, I wanted to ask if any of you out there know Iggy Pop. If so, please send me an email. Id like to attempt an interview for Crimewave, even though I know it would almost certainly end in my pissing and/or vomiting on myself.
Now I must go upstairs and dream of my hero, and how I might embarrass myself in front of him if given the chance.
