Jesus Christ: In the Name of the Gun
This comic is surprisingly awesome. It is more than a little like The New Adventures of Sigmund Freud. "Give it up." "Whooo."
This is genius. The race itself was pretty entertaining, but the announcers were utterly despicable. As someone commented, "Somewhere, a strip club is missing its MC."
Soapbox Race in Dolores Park, a partial transcript

That is one giant football racin' down the street Stu. Yes it is Jay. The question is this Stu, are they gonna hit the jump? Are they gonna make it to the jump. Can they get there? To the jump. It's all about the jump. Well the track is pretty straight. Everyone makes it to the jump. But I don't know. I don't know. It's gonna be insane. Here they come. Heading for the jump. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. WHOA!!! No way! Major air! Red Bull style air. Takin' it up a notch. Wow Stu. That jump is about 1 foot higher than the rest of the street. Team College Game Day went about 6 inches before those front wheels hit the ground. IN-SANE AIR!

Please enjoy jwz mixtape 053. It's not about vampires. Just-post-realtime nanoreview
"Say Hi To Your Mom" (WHO ARE AWESOME) (even though the sound kinda sucked) have taught me that all songs can be partitioned as follows: "This is a song." And: "This is a song about vampires."

I can't decide if "Jukebox the Ghost" sound more like Queen or Styx, but they sure do love showtunes.

yer mom. tonight.
I have just been informed that Say Hi To Your Mom are playing tonight at Bottom of the Hill!
(Thus continuing my trend of being moderately well informed of new music, but crappily informed of when said musicians are playing locally. Oh internets, why must you fail me so.)

Why are so many of the birds around here missing all of their toes? I guess they don't really need them much; they seem to hobble around just as well without them. But still. Where do the toes go?
Is there some Clive-Barkerian bird horror collecting great heaping baskets of lizardy toes? Do birds chirp legends about this scissorman to their eggs?
If you cut off one of my toes (and I didn't have opposable thumbs to do something about it) wouldn't I bleed out?
