This is why I love Hockey
My Crapitals came back from a 4-1 deficit to beat the NY Islanders last night 5-4 via a shootout.
My team will not win the Stanley Cup, and will be lucky if they finish 2nd place in their division, but it is nice on occasion to see a win that like one.

BOGUS FLYERS:A snarky prank to be sure.
Just for laughs, let’s all LIE, get hired, and then have massive gay stanic sex origies in their break room using their delicious packets of special Chik Filet BBQ sauce as lube. Who’s in?

Why Not Try Every Possibility?
Listen what happened to New Order (what i like to call “Norder”)….
I Got A New “Busy Box”!
It’s the red version of the Korg Kaossilator. What is different, other than the color, is it’s primary function. The Kaossilator is a Dynamic Phrase Synthesizer (or sound MAKER). The Kaoss Pad (also known as the MiniKP) is a Dynamic Effect Processor (or sound mutilator). So basically, I can make sounds now and then torture them with effects! This provides hours of entertainment and makes what would normally be a repetitive loop a little more exciting with trippy spaced out effects.
Here’s a 5 minute sample song I created. I went through countless different effects tricks on this track so you may have to listen to all of it to hear some of the possibilities. This is only a small fraction of what the combination of these devices can do for someone completely devoid of music performance talent such as myself.

Sad News from Billville
The comedy world has lost one of it’s finest and most under appreciated talent yesterday with the passing of Peter Berman of The Firesign Theatre.
I’ve been a fan since I was 17 and found the group though The Rolling Stone Record Guide, a book which rated FT’s album Forward Into The Past as a 5 star record. I discovered the 5-star rated Brian Eno’s Another Green World through this book as well. At that time in my life I would buy almost any album rated 5 stars.
Once I listened to the complex, multi-layered comedy of the group the first time, I asked myself “what’s so funny about this?” But then I listened again. And again. And again. As the layers revealed themselves to me I found it impossible to not find something funny that I missed on the last listen.
Soon I could recite the 20 minute “The Adventures Of Nick Danger, Third Eye” in all the characters ‘ voices from memory.
I never got to see them live, but their comedy will always make me laugh out loud at the incredible wordplay, references, and mental images of the characters which they mastered over their 40-plus years as a performing troupe.
Peter is the first of the “Four (or Five)Funny Guys” to pass. The chair is now missing a leg that can never be replaced.
I’ll miss you, Pete.
