It's all rigged


What else can POSSIBLY explain the Cubs winning? Or Bob Dylan being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature? Or Barry holding a fantastically contorted standing pose? Methinks McDonald Duck just might be up to something. If paranoid delusion is the specific something, that is.

Yippee Ki Yay . . .

 

Seeing that Bob Dylan just won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his lyrics, I thought it would be appropriate to nominate some of the great song lyrics from the band Boys Don't Cry magnum opus: "I wanna be a Cowboy."
 
Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.
 
I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called.... T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.
 
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
 
Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes
 
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
 
Looking like a hero,
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath
Or not.
 
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
 
My name is Ted,
And one day I'll be dead yo yo

Peek-a-boo! I'm torturing you!



Poor Krista, we love her so much we always put her in the most uncomfortable positions! Just one slight adjustment in the pose after her poor arm went completely numb! We welcomed new guild member Ken tonight (another American Academy of Art Alumnus) with Gogo Bordello, Florence and the Machine and Modest Mouse! Exclamation points all around! Cubs Win!

60 million people can't be wrong!


That's how many human beings world wide are watching the League of Legends tournament as we speak. Try and gather 0.001% of those individuals for a reading of Baudelaire or a wee bit of Shakespeare or maybe a symposium on socio-political inequity in urban planning policy, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, we could start thinking about trying to make the world a better place. Or let's just keep on watching other people play video games. I mean that's cool,whatever, I loves me my games - even though clicking a mouse hardly makes me an "athlete." I'm just sayin'. Courtney sharked it out as Jinx btw. PAUL LIVES! GIAN LUCA TOO!
