MollyI & I are off to see Fountains of Wayne at Maxwell's tonight with WT & also BillyToej. While I'm out entertain yourself by contrasting the WSJ Kiddie Korner Editorial Page version of Australian politics in regards to global climate change... and the version put forward by those who know what they're talking about and aren't gleefully destroying the world by prancing about screeching horseshit pseudoscience. Also you should be reading Phila.


I am calling thunderstorms from the heavens, because no one invited me.

You two are precisely the guys I expected would be making the trip down to the city for the Feelies reunion. No knock on Fountains of Wayne(pbut).

When Farah Fawcett got to heaven, and went through the pearly gates, she was greeted by God.
"Wow!" exclaimed the Holy Ghost. "We really enjoyed your work here. Especially Charlie's Angels! I still have a poster in my office of you with that red bikini!"
Farah is a little taken aback. "Thank you, Lord..."
Jehovah goes on, "Well, I have a special reward for you. I'm prepared to grant you one wish. Have anything in mind?"
Not one to act selfish and change God's opinion of her, Farah thinks for a second and decides upon a wish. "I'd like for all the children of the world to be safe and sound forever."
"Done!" exclaims the Heavenly Father. He snaps, and Michael Jackson appears next to Farah.

well it wasn't a bikini, it was a one-piece.
otherwise i would have laffed.
j/k, it was so funny i stole it.
meanwhile, i'll see your fountains of wayne and raise you a story (almost) about 3 doors down.
mrs. skippy and i recently celebrated our 25th anniversary (thanks very much) w/a trip to a resort in taos, new mexico.
the first nite there i read the pamphlet of things to do @ the resort, and found that 3 doors down was playing saturday in the hotel bar.
wow! 3 doors down! they're famous and great! let's go, honey!
ok, said mrs. skippy, tho i couldn't imagine a big group like 3 doors down playing a bar @ this stage in their career.
we show up on saturday and it turns out to be a group named third door down, a bar band from colo. springs.
not bad, but no 3 doors down. rather like going to a fountains of wayne concert only to find it's really mountains of wayne.
if i was any of the guys in 3 doors down i'd sue.
