Hot-headed shooter wanted more chili sauce
BY ERIKA BERAS

A Wendy's restaurant manager almost lost his life to a disgruntled customer early Tuesday morning.
The cause?
Chili sauce. The shooter wanted more.
According to Miami-Dade police, just after midnight, a man was going through the Wendy's drive-through at 18181 NW 27th Ave. As he picked up his meal, he told the attendant he wanted extra chili sauce.
When he didn't get his sauce right away, he began arguing with the attendant.
Then, when he did get his sauce, he wanted more.
The attendant told him restaurant policy prohibits a customer getting more than three packets.
The customer insisted on 10.
The female attendant complied, but the customer continued arguing.
The attendant asked the customer to pull up so the manager could come out and speak with him.
''The manager came out to inform him of company policy, and he shot at him several times,'' said Mary Walters, a Miami-Dade police spokeswoman.
The manager was struck in the left arm. He was taken to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital and is expected to recover.
The customer fled in a brown four-door vehicle with a female passenger.
That's thrilling news.
Even moreso since I'll be moving to Miami in a couple of months.
I guess I should cross off that particular street address from my list of places to live.

Maybe they could get some VW engineers to help people figure out how to get the bonus track off of the new cd.
Time to unpimp ze audio!

I bought the Echo based on its fuel efficiency

Sigh...such a shame that Tweedy would sell himself and the band out artistically and appear on the nightly news. On NBC, even!
Bruce Springsteen would never have done this. Neither would Neil Young.

So is there no way to get 'One True Vine' except through that promo disc?
If so, that sucks, because none of the stores here have it.

I was just watching the Indy 500 parade on ESPN2, and guess which marching band was in the parade?
That's right...Belleville. Maroon and Silver.

Apologies to non-LCD Soundsystem fans - 2 tracks from them also.
Cheers!
Mighty kind of you! Enjoyed it.

So have you ever rewritten a song? How many swigs of whiskey did you take afterwards?
In my early songwriting days, I wrote what I thought was a pretty nice ballad.
Turned out I'd re-written "Patience" by Guns n Roses. And I'm not sure how, because I never listened to GnR until after I started writing songs.
-
Well, those were...different.

I've got the original and I really enjoy it. For someone like me who just does home recording and doesn't know a drummer, it's quite a useful tool.
I was wondering if anyone had bought any of the expansion packs. If so, how are they? Same general quality as what came with the original program?

So does this mean "Company in my Back" gets used for the Beetle?

I see what you did there!

Is BBC2 streamed on the web? My cable provider doesn't provide it.
I miss DirecTV.

It's less cool to hate the giant corporation called "Volkswagen" than it is to hate the giant corporation called "Starbucks."
Exactly. Hey, even Stereolab sold a song to VW. And if it's good enough for a bunch of French socialists, it's good enough for me.

I like "mistakes" on songs.
I read that the Mama & Papas song, "I Saw Her Again Last Night", had a recording mess-up that was left on because Paul McCartney offered up the advice that it sounded better with the 'mistake'. It's at the part near the end where the singer says, "I saw her.....I saw her again last night...."
He wasn't supposed to sing "I saw her" twice....but somehow that weird break makes the song.
Good example. Another famous one is "Louie Louie", with the false start on "See Jamaica moon above".

First reviews comparing SBS to a the best recored the Eagles never released and now a Starbucks display?!?!... Hurt the band's pocket book no, hurt our future live concert experience, yes!
I hate arena concerts!
There's gonna be a HEARTACHE TONIGHT!
a HEARTACHE TONIGHT!
I know...
ugh. must go shower now.

A lot of people do things to project a certain image. Like... if you hang out at Starbucks, you'd probably listen to Wilco or whatever they have on the shelf because Starbucks is "your thing"
Like kids who hang out at Hot Topic and wear body jewelery and Him t-shirts...
I'm not saying everyone's like this, but a lot pf people my age are sort of malleable and are pressed into molds formed by places like Starbucks and Hot Topic.
(Also, I do like coffee, and I have been known to browse through Hot Topic, so don't get defensive, I'm really not trying to put anyone down)
I know what you mean. I'm probably the same age as you, actually.
I hate coffee. Hot Topic I can deal with.

Paul's new album will be at starbucks.
Now there's a shocker.

I'm sure being in Starbucks has some kind of positive impact on sales.
I just wonder what kind of person decides to add a $13.99 CD to their $4.00 coffee order?
Perhaps I'm old school, but I normally don't plan on adding to my musical library when I go into a food/beverage locale.

I second everything redshift said, and add the following:
Under no circumstances bring any children with you.
Don't plan on being anywhere for several hours after the race.
Wear sunglasses...not so much for the eye protection, but more to avoid having to make eye contact with the locals.

You Are My Face and Side With The Seeds are the two I keep going back to right now.
Nothing really disappoints me, per se...it always takes about 6 months (or longer) for me to start digging the softer songs.
Favorite Jeff vocals?

I can't decide between:
Your phone won't ever ring
in the middle of the night
and if it ever does
I can assure you it won't be me
or
Cheer up, honey I hope you can
There is something wrong with me
The first one, with the voice cracking on "ever does", always makes me shiver.
The second one just hits me like a ton of bricks...there's hardly any dynamic range in the way he sings it, but there's so much emotion behind it at the same time.
