5/29 A game we can all play!!!

Okay, seriously, this game is awesome. This blog is awesome as well, with extra points for the fucking vicious critique of Bright Eyes ("a bratty and ludicrously self-lacerating singer-songwriter who has inspired sex dreams involving cunnilingus and weeping amongst countless artsy teenage girls... the kind of guy who writes yelpy folk songs about why everyone should hate him so that everyone will like him.)

But the game goes thusly: combine band names for points. That's it. Humor counts extra, as does upping the ante by combining various genres. Examples:

L.L. Cool Jay-Z.Z. Top
Taj MaHall and Oates
Fountains of Wayne Newton
R. Kelly Clarkson
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Boy George Michael Jackson Browne v. Board of Education (best ever!)

My cursory additions:

Blink 182 Live Crew
Creedence Everclearwater Revival
Sorry About Dresden Dolls
Spring Heel Jacks Mannequin
Elton Johnny Cash Money Millionaires (yes! extra points for me!)

Get on this, people, I want to see some comments! 100 points to the winner, and oral sex in the venue of their choice (step it up, ladies!!)

Went for the worst run ever today, and finally got a heater for my room, and read Thomas Shapcott and finished my box of wine. Quiet day on the homefront, full of music and avoidance of anything that reeks of effort (except the run).

Drink Count: 4

Happy Birthday, Alex!


Oh yeah, almost forgot...

Crazy Falwell quote #6. "Nothing will motivate conservative evangelical Christians to vote Republican in the 2008 presidential election more than a Democratic nominee named Hillary Rodham Clinton - not even a run by the devil himself ..." (this one might actually be true, albeit crazy)
