Eye Crutches

That phrase needed to be preserved for all time.

The bassetball game tonight starts at 9:21 pm. Too bad. Sleep wins again. Sleep has done pretty well in my bracket this year. Way to go Sleep.

Kraftwerk's website is scary. I'm not paying $50 to zee 'zem, not even for all zee Dancentrums en Stuttgart. This is a far better Kraftwerk site.

Norm Chad's column gets posted here every week, why stop now?

Malkmus on June 4th.

Go Orioles and Phillies.

A Ted Leo Poster from the Ottobar I'm thinking of buying.

Kraftwerk may be the greatest band ever, just for their distinctly German blend of frightening futurism with oddball, sincere goofiness. No one beats them for taking themselves, apparently, too seriously, then singing "fun, fun, fun auf der Autobahn." $50 is like 7 burritos, or a couple beers at a baseball game.

Sleep is a perennial contender. Sleep was on top of its game last night.

Notable tidbit from the Washington Post: The vinyl yellow strip that marks the home run line on the outfield wall at RFK has not arrived; yesterday, it was yellow tape from Home Depot.

As Sports Guys serving the greater DC/Balt/Phila area I think it is important to point out the 5 funniest things about the Nationals game:

1) I thought the hands on the clock were some poorly placed bats, sullying the Nationals logo.

2) Mayor Anthony Williams throws like a girl.

3) The field was covered with garbage, leading to hilarious trash tornados.

4) After showing some young (and I mean young) girls on the Jumbotron, the PA Announcer pointed out "Aren't they pretty.".....to everyone in attendance.

5) Gentleman in authentic 1988 Redskins gear asked me, "Boy, where is your coat and your hat!?!?"

Etc: Much talk of baseball coaches, horseplay, getting in some good cuts, probably some Terrmell Sludge. Also, me saying rather loudly to the morons waiting outside the Metro, "Hey, meet me at the Metro." I wish I was in the Pink FBI.

The blog patrol counter is gone, or rather, the broken .jpg that has been showing up in its place for the past couple weeks is gone.

I dunno what happened there, I've been meaning to delete that. Our interweb is broken. I think when I waved my hand around the computer, it caused interference. I'm pretty much giving up.

The Ted Leo poster is nice, but I don't like the color. Then again, you have a green Iggy Pop on your wall.

The 5 funny things post is evidence that our blog is more and more analogous to a middle/high school yearbook. Soon we'll be writing "Remember the water fountain?! AB and GK, forever!!! Summer in Avalon... the jetty... prom with Steve Holt." It'll be great. On the other hand, those things are notable.

Also notable, the wind. It deserves a name, like in European countries when they say "Don't count on leaving the house for three months, that's when the Mistral comes through." The Merrlund Mistral. As regular as el Nino.
