This Just In: Dave Matthews Band Continues to Release Shit

This comes as no surprise really, but in this case we're literally talking about "shit." The band's tour bus dumped the entire contents of its septic system (a full 800 pounds of human waste) while crossing a grated river bridge near Chicago. Unfortunately, the sum total of the DMB's creative output came raining down on a boatload of architecture enthusiasts in the middle of their river tour. Needless to say, this Great Moment In Busdriver History has resulted in at least one lawsuit. Think twice the next time you consider drinking bottled water from Illinois; The Dave Matthews Band has shoved enough shit down our throats as it is.

How to transition from such a lovely tale? Okay, new topic: Just a passing annoyance, but is anyone else having an adverse reaction to all the "Back To School" advertising crowding the airwaves? In tandem with the dreaded approach of the fall season premieres (except The OC, which can't return fast enough), it's as if the television is taunting us with the imminent demise of summer. Just the phrase "back to school" is enough to send shivvers up the spine of anyone who doesn't have kids. For parents it probably has the opposite effect. They can't wait to have the little fuckers out of the house. For the rest of us, it's just a reminder that it'll be freezing cold and dark at 4:30 p.m. before we know it. Jesus, who wants a drink?
