I certainly hope someone was fired for that blunder!

Well, don't leave us hanging! Did it?

I was unaware of this album. My response to the title was "there is no possible way this article will be as interesting as what I'm imagining right now."

I ran in to a guy from high school who'd lost 3 fingers in an accident at work, so was now on permanent disability. He referred to the finger-loss as "really lucking out."

I love Nick Cave's line about anytime he hears a song on the radio that he just hates he has to keep listening until it's over so he can find out it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers

That picture is Yojimbo, not Seven Samurai. I know, I'm nitpicking. It's bugging me.
