Can you just give us back the skull and we'll go on with our lives?

hepkitten laid this little bit of hell on me.

I think it's great that we live in a place where bureaucrats can steal your skull.

Looks like Irish Dan had it backwards

..and the_idiot_heart had it right. My intensive search of the interweb shows that Bushmills is the Irish Protestant Whiskey and Jameson is the Irish Catholic Whiskey, at least historically. Bushmills being in County Antrim, etc.

I hope Dan doesn't go back to the Old Sod and make that mistake. Maybe they'd excuse him as American, but probably not.

Also note that one company owns all of it now, and that they just move the stuff around, making it all MOOT.

(moot moot)

As a nondenominational Protestant from California let me just say that I enjoy whiskey and whisky, whether from Ireland, Scotland, or Kentucky. glug.

Karaoke Nation

While driving to work, I heard on the radio a band that was obviously trying to be Radiohead. I'm not sure who they were, but they had all the signs of an imitator band: a similar sound, similar chord progressions, me-too vocal technique. It started me off thinking about something that has been bugging the back of my brain a lot about art, and influence.

Portal to Hell slowly swings open. For those of you who missed it before.

Edit: listen through the lame-ass freeform radio dj talk at the beginning. It's worth it.

thanks again hepkitten
