Do people that constantly talk out their asses have an unfair advantage in the world of ventriloquism?

Congratulations, Hawaii! You win at *Crazy!!* for today.

Fuck corporatist swine and the consumer sheep that exploit their fellow men to save a few cents on milk. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2013/11/18/2960371/walmart-food-drive/

The world would like to thank Toronto for a little levity just when it needs it most.

From Larry Grogan I got Leon Russell.
Favorite Song: Probably the original Rita Coolidge vocal version of Superstar which he wrote with Delaney & Bonnie
What can you say? I could start rattling off the "Wrecking Crew" sessions he played on but I'm more inclined to muse that "Leon Russell and the Shelter People" was one of the first albums I ever owned and that I need to revisit it...and that recently came across this quote from him: "I also didn’t get the Grateful Dead.

Like and I'll give you an artist.

Incoming.

A defunct European satellite the size of a small pickup truck is set to crash down to earth sometime between Sunday morning and Monday evening. Experts aren’t sure when exactly the satellite will fall and where precisely it will land.

Just picked up my first pair of prescription eyeglasses. So far, progressive lenses seem like the worst of all options all rolled into one. I know, I know...give them two weeks. Meh.
