band of the century

So check it out, I'm like the Don King of the music industry. I've put together the most formidible band in human history, come to beat your ears into sorry submission.

Yes, it is Marvin Skuggs and his Muppephone, Jim Henson and his Banjo, and RUN DMC with the ghost of Jam Master J.

PARENTS, PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN'S FRAGILE EARS, FOR THEY ARE ABOUT TO BE OWNED.

Stupid SkyMall Product of the Week:

Now isn't this precious! Now your little dog can enjoy what has, up until now, been the exclusive priviledge of larger, more capable animals. Finally, Mr. Tigglesworth can give a hearty 'PWN3D!!!!!' to the other pets in the house that can climb or jump. This means you, kitty -- your days are officially numbered.

Also, doesn't this little fellow just look pleased-as-pie? What a good boy!!!!! Who's a good boy????

ladies and gentlemen, prepare to have your minds blown!

Behold, McRorie Tait. The world's greatest one-man band. By clicking on his photo, you will be treated to a quicktime montage that will shatter your puny brains into teeny-tiny shards that will then fall all over the floor and get swept up by a janitor and thrown out with the trash.

McRorie has two MIDI synthesizers, and pads all over his chest and feet -- all patched through an FM box on his back that transmits the data to his rack synths. He sings and 'plays guitar' through his microphone, and oh jeez just go watch the thing already.

It's especially fantastic watching him take a very young celine dion directly to SCHOOL.

Stupid SkyMall Product of the Week:

The man who has everything probably doesn't have THESE! Yes, a pair of sunglasses that only see golf balls. That's right. Only golf balls. They don't see anything else.

I hope this starts a trend: sunglasses that only see certain things. I'll seed a few million-seller ideas: Trains, Lamborghinis, Raccoons, Cheapskates, Grifters, Swedes, and Blockbuster Videos.

Happy Holidays

TO ALL OF YOU.

(well, all three or four of you who actually look at this, anyway)

Interesting things are afoot, but I can't speak of them just yet.
