Stuck in Our Heads - Vol. 17 - August 2008
I know my default routine in this space has been to just paste in the text of whatever nonsense I sent out with the collector e-mail. For those of you who got the collector e-mail, you will recall that it was a rather lengthy e-mail soliloquy, in several installments, tracing my steps through the process of surrendering my Georgia driver's license and registering both me and my car in Our Nation's Capital. It can best be summed up thusly:
1 - When I took my car to get inspected, it failed.
2 - I got my brakes checked out, and they were fine.
3 - When I took my car to get reinspected, it passed.
4 - The DMV wasn't all that bad.
There was some chatter about martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, but I can only milk that for so long. In reality, I suppose if I'm not going to use the already-written material, I should come up with some new material to put here, but I've put off posting this month's playlist entirely too long already.
Besides, while I was making coffee this morning, I shit my pants on a gamble and loss. That has made me a little gunshy about deviating too far from the straightforward for the rest of the day.
I would, however, be remiss in my responsibility if I didn't mention that we have added this month one more designee to the 4F4 pantheon. Justin Timberlake rounds out the first triad by joining The Beatles and Tom Waits. Congratulations to JT and the ubiquitous Clear Channel Communications.
