    Women's Footlocker
    I work a lot of championship cross country races, and this is one the best I've ever seen. I won't editorialize it more than that. The video speaks for itself. Just watch.

    Regan Smith wins at Talladega!!!


    Well, not really. NASCAR said when Stewart forced Smith below the yellow line coming through the tri-oval that Smith made an illegal pass. They gave Stewart the win. NASCAR told Smith after the race that he should have checked up. Yep, that's what they said. Last lap. At Talladega. Going for the win. Shoulda checked up. What a load of crap. Can we please get a cigarette or beer company to come back in and take control of this mess???

    My cousin's big break
    A Nashville producer she's been working with flew her to Indy to sing the National Anthem at the NASCAR race back in July. She's 10.

    the best bassist ever (basstown)

    hello. i am the best bassist who ever played the bass. get it? i love bassin' it up with any other bass players so you can get schooled properly by my bass talents. who i am lookin for is 2-3 other bass players to get together and play the basses for a few hours a week. i am a professional. please no first time bass players. i have a professional attitude and expect the same from you. i have professional gear and am looking for more professional gear. i really wanna do this right. bring over your basses and amps to my house of bass. lets bass until we get sick. i will not stop until someone throws-up. i am serious. lets do this! influences : thunder, trucks, planes, fog horns, old man river, bass (the fish), bass (the instrument), bass (the shoes), bass (the beer). I am an honest man--if you play the bass better than i do, you can have my house and everything in it (i have a dog). i will live outside and build a shrine to give thanks to god for creating such a bassist. i will have service every sunday for those who might want to stop by and give thanks.

    Hell-arious cross country video
    Just a great video montage of the stream crossing at the Midland Counties XC Championships. Any of you who've run championship cross country know that the course only gets worse as the day goes on. Eventually it's just a mud bog by the time the old farts race gets underway. There are some hilarious falls! They only get better as it goes on and the conditions worsen. I think the girl who goes down around the 3:14 mark is the best one.

    He's better for us UNGAWA!
    Heard this on talk radio this morning. It's classic!

    I Think I'm Votin' Black

    Warning: Hillary supporters may not appreciate this.

    Ron Paul!
    I came across this while looking for clips from the campground during the fall race.
    I didn't really know who Ron Paul was. I like his tactics! I could do without the song.

    Three things you don't do in the men's room
    This whole Larry Craig deal has enlightened me to the underground world of airport lavatory romance. Who would've even thought there was a secret code for this? It is coming out in the investigation that apparently there are three things to not do if you don't want to accidentally signal that you're up for some good old fashioned lewd behavior in the men's room:

    1. Tap your foot while sitting on the crapper.
    -- I've probably actually done this before. I'll be more careful from now on.

    2. Reach under the divider and grope towards the person in the next stall.
    -- I pretty much already knew not to do this.

    3. Take your luggage into the stall with you and prop it against the door.
    -- Where the heck else am I supposed to put it??? Those stalls are not that big.

    The Talkmaster hits the Washington radio dial
    Neal Boortz (talk radio show out of Atlanta) is coming to the Washington radio dial in a few weeks. They're canning the Washington Post radio and are putting Neal (and other programming) in it's place. Boortz is going to be on 1500 AM going head to head in the same time slot as Rush Limbaugh (not sure which station Limbaugh's going to be on).

    First Creative Loafing takes over City Paper. Now this. Atlanta is on the march! Good news for this homesick Georgia boy. Maybe Sam Nunn's next!

    I might not have to write him in this time
    Former Sen. Sam Nunn weighs run for White House

    In an hourlong interview, in his small office on Marietta Street on the edge of the Georgia Tech campus, Nunn acknowledged that he is considering a run for the White House next year.

    Boortz bashes Boston Marathon
    God dangit, Boortz! This time you've gone too far! I can put up with most of these talk radio guys on account of I figure they're in it for the money. But this morning he compared running the Boston Marathon in inclement weather to voting for Ted Kennedy...ie. "no common sense".

    Yeah sure, it was cold with heavy rain and wind. I suspect if you've been training through the winter in New England for this, then you've seen a hell of a lot worse. Congratulations to all of those badasses that strapped it on and ran this one today.

    Standard YouTube post


    Just a little ditty I wrote about a man whose woman up and leaves him for another. This was more of an experiment in recording than anything. I recorded this on my IBM T40 craptop using the little internal microphone as input and running Audacity (free recording software) to multitrack it...well double-track it at least. The picture is from a completely unrelated gig with Chuckwagon, but Windows Movie Maker makes you put something in there to accompany the audio track.

    Crazy weather
    No wonder they can't predict what's going to happen in Washington tonight. I don't recall ever seeing a pattern exactly like this one:

    What...a load...of crap
    That was the second worse finish to a NASCAR race I've ever seen.



    But I do have to give a call to Talladega for laying down 2.66 miles
    of nice asphalt. The cars seemed to be able to go anywhere they wanted today.

    It's official. I've been selected to compete in round one at the Rockville store on March 28. I will lay a shovel full of minor pentatonic notes on the Guitar Center weasels in my quest to become "King of the Blues". Another former member of Burnin' Pork Truck is entered as well on the left coast. Imagine the media frenzy if we square off in the finals!!!

    This is what makes the internet great
    Guy out in Calif. lays out a fast mile course through the streets of downtown. At 2 am. he toes the starting line. His friends escort him on bikes and in vehicles, including an SUV full of drunks cheering him on and blasting "Eye Of The Tiger". They film it. He breaks four minutes and posts it on video on Google.
