An odd way to write a joke....

During Conan's monologue the other night, he made a joke about Wii Fit (the punch line was: "When you turn it on, it says, 'Go outside, fat ass.'"). Anyway, the set up went like:

Conan: How many of you play the Nintendo Wii?
Audience: (applause)
Conan: Well, the people that make the Nintendo Wii have just released something called Wii Fit....

Immediately, I was like, "the people that make the Nintendo Wii"? You mean Nintendo?

Nitpicky, sure, but I thought it was a pretty clumsy sentence.

The end.

The Dogway Melody is, without hyperbole, the greatest thing in the history of Western civilization.

I couldn't have written it better if I'd written it myself...

Which wouldn't have been better, even if I'd written it.

"Phone sex is the dumbest thing in the world. It's not sex. It's like calling a restaurant and asking them to describe their food. That’s not the same thing as eating. No guy wants to sit on the phone for 2 hours and talk dirty to a girl. We don’t like talking to girls on the phone to begin with. That shit is boring. I hate to be the one to break this to you ladies, but if your boyfriend spends two hours on the phone with you describing an evening of erotic delights, your boyfriend is unquestionably queer."

It's the caffeine, the nicotine, the miligrams of tar...

Atmosphere and Binary Star (for free) at the Union Terrace is still one of the best shows I've seen. Over the last few years, though, I've been less and less into Atmosphere. I pretty much swore them off after Sevens Travels.

Their new album,
When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold is out now (faring pretty mediocre-ly; The Onion likes it, no surprise, The Village Voice doesn't - "...the barista-strum acoustic rap of "Guarantees" aims for Elliott Smith and ends up with Uncle Kracker" is a fantastic zinger) and regardless of my general complacency regarding their music, I'm happy for those dudes that their record debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200.

So way to go, guys.
