R.I.P Jay Bennett

Earlier this week former multi-insturmentalist of the band Wilco passed away. Jay was a huge contributor to many Wilco albums including Being There, Summerteeth, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, as well as their Mermaid Avenue collaborations with Billy Bragg. His presence in the band was greatly noticed and deeply appreciated by fans. A perfectionist and a true lost soul Jay will be missed. The following is a video of Jay and Jeff Tweedy performing a raw version of "Cars cant escape" The video shows the wonderful dynamic that these two very talented musicians shared and also reflects the mood of the moment. R.I.P Jay.

Sports Savior

Just when you thought sports were going down the tubes when no one would let Oil Can Boyd try a comeback, Clay Zavada goes and redeems all of sports with this killer freaking 'stache. Here's hoping for a long, storied career for Mr. Zavada



Rollie Fingers, you're on notice.

Happiness

Sometimes I wonder about what on earth makes me the happiest. What out there brings more joy to me than anything else. Freshly baked cookies, oreo blizzards with extra oreo, the love of a good woman, the scene in Airplane when Joey visits the cockpit.



But it isn't any of those things. What really brings me consistent unconditional joy is wolf shirts. A good wolf shirt with the requisite wolf, moon and lightning, with or without an indian chief's shadowy face and/or soaring eagle in the sky, brings me about as much pure happiness a man can feel.

I think you may share this with me as well, although you may not want to admit it. But when we're in a truck stop late at night, deciding whether to buy that Billboard Hits 1985 CD, and we pass by that rack of beautiful screened wolf shirts, we all flirt with them a little, walking by a little slower, letting our gaze linger as we stroll past, not wanting others to see our desire.

Which is why I just spent a large portion of time reading the reviews of other wolf shirt lovers out there at this page. Amazon Wolf Shirt. The reviews are excellent, and the "Customers Who Viewed this Item Also Viewed" section is stellar as well.

Love your wolf shirt:

The world's hardest riddle

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?

97% of Harvard graduates can not figure this riddle out, but 84% of kindergarten students were able to figure this out in 6 minutes or less. Can you guess the correct answer?

NOTHING TO SAY IN RAINY MAY.

How do I put this?

As I was drifting off to sleep to my television program of choice: Frasier (something about his voice just soothes me into unconsciousness)...I heard another glorious sound. It may come as a shock to some, but there is a show called Reba on (another shocker) Lifetime Television for women. The show stars Reba McEntire...and the best part is, she sings her own theme song! Are you even allowed to do that? Isn't that sort of like wearing the t-shirt of the band you're in? It got me thinking about other shows where the star sings their own theme song but all I could come up with was Walker, Texas Ranger, staring the impeccable acting and vocal stylings of Chuck Norris. Now I'm curious...what other actors think they're the only ones who can do the job right? Reba McEntire and Chuck Norris can't be the only ones, right?
