Hey, you! Yeah, you! You are jealous. Why? Because the management has acquired Pixies tickets! That's right... Monday, December 13, at the not-so-great Hammerstein Ballroom with fellow Beantown geriatrics Mission of Burma. Much excitement. Much trepidation. Deep and meaningful thanks to MTC for sitting through a stressful online presale to get the tix.
While it is not usually necessary to generate more traffic to The Onion, their crack reportage on the long-overdue vindication of The A-Team is what media hacks refer to as "a must-read." In an unrelated piece, they also produced yet another of the, um, tastiest quotes of the year: "If kids today just pop a pill every time they want an erection, how are they going to learn valuable pussy-eating skills?" How indeed.
The management has long been interested in the elusive Jackalope. Even respected cryptozoologists have come to doubt the beast's existence, but the magnificent antlered rabbit got a well-deserved shout-out in a Black Table article about Wyoming. Check out item #4. For more about the Jackalope, you can consult several online resources, including The Museum of Hoaxes and The Jackalope Conspiracy. Despite various reports of Jackalope violence and general viciousness, the management is committed to a more enlightened understanding of our mysterious, bushy-tailed friends. Like other cute but oft-maligned mammals (wolverines, badgers, raccoons, etc.), the Jackalope is simply misunderstood. Please send images and report any sightings to the management.
Two final items. First, the inevitable has finally happened: someone has made a film dramatizing the tragic last days of Kurdt Kobain (a.k.a. Kurt Cobain). Luckily, that someone is Gus Van Sant... so there is hope.
Finally, I recommend this Slate article to anyone who's in the mood for a brief, well-realized consideration of everyday racial politics. Link courtesy of TMFTML.
