Get your Pimp Name! How to be a true PIMP!
Apparently, my "pimp name" is Reverend Doctor Christopher Rockefeller. Looks like it's time to engrave some new business cards!
Although violence against women is, y'know, wrong.

Play Infocom Adventures Online
Bored? Visit this page to play any number of old Infocom games. Takes me back to the days I was a subscriber to Enter magazine.
(I had that issue, BTW. How do I remember that?)

THE DIANA-MORRISSEY PHENOMENON
Did Morrissey fortell the death of Princess Diana in his music? Perhaps. My dog Maggie seems to think so. But then again, she'll drink from the toilet if you let her.

The Day Jobs
This is somewhat old news, but deserves a mention. Guthrie's was THE place for my crowd in the late high school-early college days. Some of my friends actually went there for their prom dinner, bringing along a tablecloth and candle for the perfect ambiance. The restaurant's formula (chicken fingers and strangely addictive sauce) was adopted and improved by Zaxby's. The food quality had indeed gone noticeably south the last time I dropped by. Along with the late-90s closing of The Spaghetti Store (where Jen and I went on our first date eleven years ago Friday), Athens has lost two more mediocre but memorable eateries.

Letter at Murder Threatens Dutch Official
Theo van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam on Tuesday. His attacker was a Dutch Moroccan who wore traditional Islamic clothing. After shooting van Gogh, he stabbed him repeatedly, slit his throat with a butcher knife, and left a note containing verses from the Qur'an on the body. Said Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende: "Nothing is known about the motive" of the killer.

So, the Pixies played at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on Wednesday, and we were there.
We enjoyed the show, although it wasn't a life-altering event. They are older, and so am I. It's hard to compare this show to the first one I saw at the Georgia Theatre in Athens in November 1991. At that show, I had failed to buy a ticket before it sold out, and had to secure entry by wrangling a job (through a friend) unloading the equipment truck and working security at the Theatre for the Pixies. Of course, I wasn't getting paid, so as soon as they hit the stage I melted into the crowd. I recall staring up at a screeching Black Francis and getting caught in a seething wave of moshing humanity, propelling me directly to the front of the stage. Trompe le Monde had been released just the month before, but everyone there knew all the words and sang along heartily. I was eighteen and the Pixies were Gods.
And so Wednesday's show- certainly enjoyable, in a generic sense. I sat in my comfortable chair in a balcony seat and looked down at the former Gods, now mortal. They played the songs we all know and love. We cheered and applauded at the appropriate times. But overall, I was left with the feeling of watching a jukebox.
Approximate setlist(the order might be off, but I believe these are the songs that were played):
1. Here Comes Your Man
2. Winterlong
3. Bone Machine
4. Subbacultcha
5. Dead
6. Cactus
7. I Bleed
8. Number Thirteen Baby
9. Head On
10. Crackity Jones
11. Debaser
12. Umass
13. Levitate Me
14. Gouge Away
15. Broken Face
16. Something Against You
18. Tame
19. Caribou
20. Hey
21. Monkey Gone To Heaven
22. Velouria
23. Mr Grieves
24. Nimrods Son
25. Holiday Song
26. Vamos
27. Where Is My Mind
28. Wave Of Mutilation
29. Gigantic

The 8500 calorie manwich!
I've seen some sandwiches in my day... but none to match this "affront to God".

ESPN.com - MLB - Pitcher shot, OK; cheerleader boots to thank?
Lesson: if you're going to get shot, you might as well wear a cheerleader's outfit. It can't hurt, right?

Even with the advent of the electronic information age, it has become more and more apparent to me that possessing the ability to communicate clearly is one of the most vital....things.
Being able to speak well is one of the most important....
uhhhh....hmmmm.
I think you know what I'm trying to say.
I mean let's face it, some people have a way with words, other people....
uhhhh....
Oh, "not have way", I guess.
(Thanks, Steve.)

MSNBC - 'Hardball with Chris Matthews' for Sept. 1
That was some great live television: Miller v. Matthews. If you didn't catch it, read the above transcript(a bit down from the top). Zell was in rare form. Anytime a national political figure all but challenges a television personality to a duel, you have got to call it "must see tv".
