Housemartins
My broomball team in college was named the Housemartins. Since we were the honors dorm, I wanted Smart People on Ice.

To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Which Lambchop?
Nixon. It was the one you recommended, so I figured I'd give it a go. And it rawks.

Joe: Milos! "I try hard to be good workerman, but refigemator so messy. So, so messy."
The sorrowful, weight-of-the-world way in which Dave reads that comment from the complaint box still cracks me up.
(Also, we had our VP of digital media on speakerphone the other day, and since we have broken all the conference phones, we had a regular phone with a speaker on it that didn't reach the conference table and had to go on a chair. Then they started making jokes about him pulling his chair up to the table. It took everything I had not to say "I'm not actually *in* the box, Dave.")

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Not work safe, and really, really odd.

That *is* tempting, Jon. Do you know who's playing?
I got Oasis' What's the Story Morning Glory last night, because I've had "Don't Look Back in Anger" going through my head for weeks. It is ... very Oasis-y.
(And it is most unfair that the Oasis songs I like are split between two albums, so I had to pick. I'm gonna pout about that for a while.)

Milos! "I try hard to be good workerman, but refigemator so messy. So, so messy."
D'oh! I really wanted to include "Complaint Box" in the list but I couldn't think of any musical references, but now it dawns on me (which is to say smacks me upside the head)... Shaft! "I thought we'd all enjoy that." D'oh! -- there's also, "'I have doobie in my funk,' which I assume is some sort of reference to the Parliament Funkadelic song, 'Chocolate City.'" My mind is mush.

For those of you who can't check it out, two people whose organization, or maybe their motto (I don't feel like checking), is "Fuck for Trees," did just that onstage at a concert. Apparently they've done it, and not just in a manner of speaking, in other public venues. Doing it in public is in fact their m.o. The story Gandalfe linked to has pics from the show. The, ahem, moneyquote: "'The goal is to take over the entire commercial porn industry and transfer all the money to protection of the environment,' Ellingsen explained."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"'The goal is to take over the entire commercial porn industry and transfer all the money to protection of the environment,' Ellingsen explained."
I think the word "explained" really should be in quotes here.
A banner was raised on stage informing the audience that the couple was having sex to save the rainforest.
This makes Lennon and Yoko's "Bed-in for Peace" look sensible.

Strawberry disappointment.
Well, it's all about wood isn't it?
