Today, my neighbor informed me that her lawn sprinkler sprays water in a square pattern, so it is the best for getting into corners. Then there’s Dan Haggerty’s Smiling Jesus painting, which is just absolutely… Well, I’m just short the words to descibe it. What the sprinkler thing has to do with Smilin’ Jesus, I don’t know, but they’re two things I learned about today that I thought were worth sharing with you. |

For those of us who grew up in the 1970’s, Charles Nelson Reilly and Nipsey Russell were very familiar faces on television, especially to those of us who skipped school and stayed home to catch Matchgame and To Tell The Truth in the afternoon… I apparently hadn’t thought much of them in recent years, as I didn’t know they are both dead.
You would think I would have payed enough attention to have heard that Nipsey Russell had gone to meet his maker, as we have a rubber chew toy named after him… I guess I had more important things going on around that time in 2005. Hrmph.
I’ve been meaning to look up Klonopin recently after hearing reference made to it… Also known outside the US as Rivotril, it seems to be a heavy downer prescribed for everything from Epilepsy to Restless Leg Disorder to Schizophrenia. Common side effects include impaired motor function, dizziness and amnesia. Woot! Party drug!
I’ve also been listening to Air America during the day lately, and they constantly run this ID bumper featuring Fischerspooner which is annoying as all hell. I don’t know anything about these guys, but in that bumper they sound like a couple of weenies. Kind of like the guys in the Alltel Wireless commercials who portray the competing cell phone carriers, but emo’d out and full of caffeine, trying to kick some 10-year-old’s ass for his lunch money. I give them the benefit of the doubt, though, and link to them… But they should consider re-recording their Air America thing, lest they impress folks who are unfamiliar with them as a whiney emo shoegazer mallpunk band…
Speaking of Alltel, how in the hell can they say in good conscience that they are “America’s largest network” and not even offer service in Austin?
Perhaps this should have been a new Pet Peeve post…
