I got into Chisel after discovering Ted Leo back in 2002, so I never got to see them live. I have the Nothing New EP, 8 A.M. All Day, and Set You Free, and love them all.

Sometimes the

Wilco?

Your brother will be just as married if the weather sucks as he will be if it doesn't. I know it'll be hard to convince your mother of that, but after all, it's about the two people getting married, not the ceremony itself.

Revoke his invitation. Is it OK if Kirk Herbstreit ruins it?

Thanks for adopting a shelter animal! I don't have any good name suggestions -- I just wanted to say that.

I was with you until that part.

Give the RA a chance. Some of the best weed I bought in college came from my RA.

Hell yes. That was the bucket that got you all the good loot in the Grand Prize Game.

Enjoy it, twobobs. Study hard, but don't forget to have some serious fun. I'd kill to be your age again, entering college. Shit ... that was twenty years ago...

Fixed it for you. A friend of mine came up with this one, and I've always loved it -- some of the older Chicago-area folks may recognize it right away: Bucket Number Six

Awesome. Ted's good people.

A good beer should never be served ice cold. Ice cold is for the Budweisers and Coors of the world. Now, if we were talking about Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, served at the proper temperature -- then no, there would be nothing better than that.

Hey wheelco, you need to give people the league ID#, not the name.

Yeah, seems like a reasonable compromise ... but I hope the teacher continues his fight to get that stupid law struck down.

The snakes are just trying to get in and see the show.

The Shitty Beatles

I can't believe you said that. I quit the fucking board.

That's probably the question that caused Owen to lose his train of thought.

He should really see a doctor about that grotesquely oversized melon.

I just grabbed the Ogg Vorbis files ... sound quality is decent but a bit thin -- pretty darn good for an audience recording, though.

Yeah, I'd love to get in on that as well. I saw TL/RX when they played Detroit a year or two ago and they pretty much blew the roof off the dump. I don't usually go see bands a second time -- it has to be someone amazing like, say, Wilco -- but I definitely plan to go see them again on a future tour. Leo is a fantastic guitarist. Next time I see him, I plan to get down front and watch his fretwork a bit more closely.

What do George W. Bush, Ann Coulter, and 49ers head coach Mike Nolan have in common?

I won't dispute that, though there are a couple of other important things that should be noted... "Tuesday's Gone" > "Freebird" Led Zeppelin > Lynyrd Skynyrd
