Smells Like Rockin Robin

I've been a big fan of Mark Vidler (No relation to the East Aurora retail family) and Go Home Productions for more years than I can remember. I'm still in awe of his Sex Pistols - Madonna mashups.

MIchael Jackson's Rockin Robin and Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit mashed up. How does he come up with the combinations? If you are anything like me, you won't be able to listen to either song in quite the same way after seeing this.

Goodbye Bass Pro; Hello, IKEA

I say now that Bass Pro is officially gone (and I don't believe that they were actually going to be here anyway) the Powers That Be should try to get an IKEA to replace it.

21st voter

I just voted in the School Board election. I was the 21st voter at my local polling place for two election districts combined.

I heard that turnout was low. But I had no idea it i was this low.

Still more monkeys than people

I found this by accident on the google web. The Costa Verde hotel has a "house" that is made out of the fuselage of a 727.

The little boy in me says "golly gee, it's swell!"

It's Snowing in Iceland

It's snowing in Stykkisholmur, Iceland right now. It's not snowing in Buffalo, USA.

And I say that the latter is a good thing.

e:peep sighting

This afternoon I had the pleasure of running into (e:mrmike) at our local Wegmans. It was a nice reminder that the online community extends into meat space.

Too Drunk To . . .

Once upon there was a band called the Dead Kennedys. The first single I bought of theirs was "Too Drunk to Fuck." This is an acapella cover of the song by Camille who at one point in her life was in the bossa nova punk cover band Nouvelle Vague. Technically, I think this is an acapella cover of the Nouvelle Vague cover of the Dead Kennedys original.

A Pleasant Surprise

Recently the Lovely Lettuce posted about our neighbors. and not seeing the nicer side of them. Well today, I did.

The previous administrations of our house left us with evergreen shrubs and landscape timber in our front yard. I got rid of the shrubs a couple of weeks ago. And today's project was getting the landscape timber into the backyard so I could decide what to do with them.

The previous admin's used round telephone pole like timbers. As I was struggling with a timber pretty much as tall as me, our neighbor (the male part of the couple Lettuce wrote about) came out and asked me if I needed help. This was a very pleasant surprise.

By that time, I was covered in dirt so I asked him "Are you sure you want to? You'll get dirty" He said that he didn't mind if he did.

So he helped me carry one from the front to the back. And in the middle of carrying the second large timber, my bad shoulder popped. We got it to the backyard. And I told him I would deal with it some other day. I didn't want him to do all my heavy lifting.

I thanked him for helping. He said it was just a small thing. I said to me it was more than just a small thing and that I really appreciated it.

Given everything that has happened, it was a very pleasant surprise that he would take the time and effort to help me.
