M. Giant's Velcrometer Throwing stuff at the internet to see what sticks |

Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Humpblog (11/24/04) I'm ambivalent. I get to see my name on movie theater marquees this week. And yet, it's for a film that by most accounts is total shite. I'm just glad that M. Tiny is too young to understand. And also too young to free me up to actually go and see it. * * * Hey, have you heard of this band called Keane? You’ll never guess what I heard about them. I heard they don’t have guitars. Have you heard that? * * * Trash and I are both overdue for haircuts and I don’t know when either of us is going to have a chance to get one. I’m trying to convince her to just let me buzz my entire head with my old beard-trimmer, but she’s not going for it so far. Any suggestions as to how to win her over are welcome. Aside from offering to let her do the same thing, of course. Tried it. Didn’t work. * * * Speaking of bands that don’t have things, I once heard Chris Isaak tell a story on VH-1 or something about how he went to audition for a band and they didn’t have a bass player. “No bass player?” he said. “What kind of rinky-dink outfit is this?” The band members explained that the lack of a bass player was intentional. Part of the concept. The bass would be provided by the keyboards. Chris Isaak says he left the audition in disgust, and never heard of that band again until they hit the charts as the Doors. I’m pretty sure Chris Isaak was making that story up. * * * Big plans for Thanksgiving? Not us. We have small plans, thanks to a small human. Since M. Tiny’s official due date is still several days off, his immune system isn’t up for big gatherings. So there’ll be a very small gathering at my parents' house, and another very small gathering at Trash’s sister’s house. Poor kid's never been around more than five or six people at one time. He's going to think that's all the people there are. "I must have met everyone by now, right? Is that everyone? Okay, then." * * * Today's best search phrase: "Show me a food web and what is going to hapen to it if we remove a pests." No. No, I don't believe I will. Good day to you, sir. posted by M.

Keane is evidently the coolest thing around, and who cares about guitars, anyway? M.Tiny will (too soon) educate M.Giant and Trash about current events, pop culture and how old (and uninformed) you really are...they grow up so fast!!!
