Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm northguineahills:

The Dept of Environmental Protection (NYC) thought 1:30am would be a good time to jackhammer outside my window to repair a manhole. They weren't finished until almost 4 am. At least I had a good excuse for insomnia last night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:23pm Mister Dobalina:

This is a very cool sound. THanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:23pm Charlie:

ngh -- that's not insomnia, that's torture
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:24pm Charlie:

heya, mister dobalina. if you're mister bob dobalina, that makes you the third bob here.

I am the one and only Bob Dob, nice to be in the top 3!
Avatar 1:32pm bobdoesthings:

comadreja = weasel.
We have one of those for a governor. No music, though.
Avatar 1:33pm Kurt Gottschalk:

it IS one of the greatest comps of all times, but one of the greatest comp _titles_ is "the unpronouncable beat of sarajevo."
  1:37pm βrian:

That is a great title. Reminds me of when the Onion claimed the U.S. was planning to air-drop vowels into war-torn Serbia.
  1:37pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello fellow Nothing Doers. Nice to hear Deadly Nightshade for the first time in millenniums. Since the backyards been gettin a little brown, I appreciate the help with greening, Charlie.
