link Kellogg warns: Brace for an Eggo shortage Issues at two facilities means freezers could be bare until next summer updated 4:24 p.m. ET, Wed., Nov . 18, 2009 ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA - Dear Kellogg: Leggo my Eggo! Kellogg Co. says there will be a nationwide shortage of its popular Eggo frozen waffles until next summer because of interruptions in production at two of the four plants that make them. The company's Atlanta plant was shut down for an undisclosed period by a September storm that dumped historic amounts of rain in the area. Meanwhile, several production lines at its -

The rest of the garbage you wrote is complete bullshit but this one is the tops. Youre a wannabe. Wannabe considered cool on the internet. Define psychedelic music for me. Its quite obvious from your persona youve never done any. It might do you some good. Can we just ban this guy already? Jesus. -
You might want to search this forum for a discussion of this subject. It's been addressed at least twice, if I recall correctly.

I'm with you on the helicopter thing. One dude was goin' places, the other was already coasting on fumes at the time, and has only continued to do so since that night. If one of them had to go... -

QFT. If he produced it, I probably don't want to listen to it. I hate that trademark Lynne sound. Cloud Nine and Full Moon Fever are both great albums ... but in my opinion, they would have been far greater albums without Lynne's heavy hand. -
NPR, Salon.com, MSNBC.com, Freep.com (Detroit Free Press), AnnArbor.com (formerly the Ann Arbor News), PBS (NewsHour), BBC.co.uk, and other websites as necessary (I click around a lot to follow stories). I also endure far more of the local TV news than I should. I don't know why I bother ... everyone, and I mean everyone, on all of the local stations, is a moron. They're more interested in hyping that night's prime-time network shows than providing their viewers any actual news.

Well, you could. It's currently sold out. What a disturbingly awesome idea.

As long as it results in Rita no longer being on the show, I'm all for it.

What's to be gained by having Rita get it on with the neighbor? The writers evidently don't realize how much we already hate her.

I'd be listening if I could ... I'll have to catch this later via archive.

Oh, so they must be playing "You Never Know"?

This could be interesting. The Michigan football program failed to file the required logs of practice time for the 2008-09 season. Any of them. Maybe Rodriguez will be taken down by this. Maybe not. Strictly from a football/results perspective, I still think it's too early to judge his success, or lack thereof -- next year is the first one that should really matter in that respect. But if he's responsible for major violations ... well, that's a whole different matter, especially for a program that likes to tout its "clean" reputation. If the investigation finds violations, I will not defen

I have tried, but I just can't get into any of the following bands: Radiohead (post-OK Computer) Arcade Fire, or pretty much anyone else who's come out of Montreal in the last decade White Stripes Decemberists The Postal Service Death Cab For Cutie Shins Bon Iver Neutral Milk Hotel My Morning Jacket Modest Mouse Bright Eyes Tenacious D Kings of Leon ...and I'm underwhelmed by, but don't mind listening to, the Avett Brothers and the Flaming Lips. -
I love that the CD that comes with the Being There vinyl combines the whole album onto one disc.

Not a big fan of Rollins' (quasi-)musical pursuits, but his spoken-word stuff is great. -

D'oh! Some of the others I mentioned weren't American either -- Jesus & Mary Chain, Echo, Woodentops, Housemartins, Church, Godfathers. And The Nils were Canadian. -

Crosby's my favorite out of CSN. I can't stand Nash. And the dude can sing. He still sounds as good today as he did 40+ years ago. -

I'd say it was Best Buy that ran all the good stores out of business -- there were Best Buys everywhere, but Towers tended to exist only in major metropolitan areas. Since their peak, Best Buy (and Borders) have drastically cut back on the number of CDs they stock, so they suck major ass now too. Maybe that provides an opening for a seriously good CD store. Or maybe everyone's too hooked on downloading now to make such a store viable.
