BoingBoing has a great little dittie about a guy who apparently leaves unrelated feedback for people on eBay that makes little or no sense but is really funny:
Praise: Millenia ago your merchandise roamed free. I didn’t bid then and I won’t now.
Praise: Auctions are tools of the Devil. Raise your reserve before he bids [...]
Apparently Dubya is going to tell the world that “major combat” is over in Iraq. The end of violence and risk for our troops is always a good thing but it got me to thinking about the way this war has been waged. Until the Korean conflict we would “declare” war with articles [...]
My pal Johnny (as referenced in the I Love Meat Sticker Collection bit) has responded to the nod to his heritage in a nice little email I thought I might share:
T-Bone,
I finally got off my dead ass and checked your site out. I enjoyed it
greatly, and your reference to my lineage in the “I [...]
Lucinda Williams’ latest effort entitled “World Without Tears” is an interesting album that many will hail as a great album. The album certainly grows on you but you may not listen to it enough to get to that point. It took five is six attempts for me to listen to the whole album [...]
Matthew Bennett is an artist at the Butterfield Garage in St. Augustine. Not only is the Garage the epicenter of art in St. Augustine but Bennett’s work is stunning! Matt is a fantastic fellow who I met in my parking lot and chatted up for a bit with my wife one afternoon. [...]
Apple announced a new music service that offers $.99 songs, downloads, the ability to share and burn music, and discounted full albums. On the surface, it seems like a rock-solid deal. I would definitely pay a buck to not waste my time searching for a song, hoping my downloads complete, and praying it’s [...]
We saw the Jacksonville Suns beat the Birmingham Barons 2-0 on Sunday. It was a good game with pretty good pitching. The new stadium is really nice and the weather was perfect. The most interesting thing about the day was the food.
When attending a game I rarely expect more than the usual [...]
Todd Snider is in many people’s opinion the second coming of Jimmy Buffett or John Prine. Todd has in fact record for both of those gentlemen but is in his own way a unique treasure and a must for anyone who is a fan of folk, Americana, the Memphis sound, or just plain ol’ [...]
I love Florida so when I write this it is clearly something pointed toward my own shortcomings: Florida drains the ambition from me. I get up every day knowing tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day and as such, accomplishing something will be just as easy tomorrow as it would be today. [...]
Some fans in Illinois are suing Creed for a sub-standard performance–as if that’s not their normal show. Anyway, apparently the dude that wants to be Eddie Vedder so bad appeared “intoxicated” and as such didn’t perform as expected. Further, the band’s manager released a statement to fans telling them they experienced “the most [...]
