  • From the Kaz 45 Box!

    Can't Buy Me Love was a smash hit for The Fab Four back in '64, but if you flip the record over it reveals a wonderful hidden treasure:  Beatle John singing (and playing a stabbing lead guitar) on the hard rockin' You Can't Do That.

    DIRECTIONS:  PLAY LOUD

    sin

    says
    they took the ride
    unhooked the seatbelt
    disabled the airbags
    drove through familiar strange terrain
    exceeded the limit
    and
    crashed
    but it's no accident
    says
    sin

    Don't get me wrong.  I love everything Obama is doing, but I'm not so sure that Take a Gitmo Detainee to Work Day is such a great idea.

    I just read the Time Magazine cover story on Twitter and now I fully understand why Twitter is important.

    Twitter is important because like uh...well because it...uh...

  • AN OPEN LETTER OF APOLOGY TO A RACCOON

    Uh...hello Rocky. I hope you're reading this.

    Remember when I said there was nothing cute about you? Remember how I said I hated the hours you keep and your eating habits? Well I think I spoke too soon.

    Two nights have passed without your jarring prehistoric growly noises and I didn't realize how much I have come to love those noises. I know I said a lot of bad things about you which caused you to leave my back yard, but I just didn't think things through.

    Rocky! Please come back! I forgive you! I can't stand the silence! I miss the rattling of recycling bins and the unearthly screams. God I miss the screams. They were ultimately comforting, but you never realize things like that until they're gone.

    So, I know I was mean, and said a lot of stuff but it was probably just the booze and medication talking. You see, we humans have very complex lives and sometimes (most of the time) we say things we don't exactly mean, only to suffer the consequences later.

    Rocky, if you come back, I'll make sure not to completely empty the soup cans before I put them out. And maybe I'll even buy some sardines! You love sardines I bet! So...like...uh...what do you think?

    Rocky. Really.  Don't make me beg. I long to once again hear your insane growly noises at 2am.

    I miss you is what I'm saying.

  • AN OPEN LETTER TO A RACCOON

      Hey listen you, "Rocky" or whatever the heck your name is. There's nothing cute about you. I don't like the hours you keep or your eating habits. You are not someone I would ever consider a friend. So why did you pick my backyard to chill out? Huh?

    The last FIVE NIGHTS in a row, you thought it would be really cool to make ridiculous and uncalled-for prehistoric growly noises under my window at 3:30 AM. And why were you making these stupid sounds? Over a little sliver of left over soup in a can in the recycling bin. Well, listen up, "Rocky." As of right now, you are ON NOTICE.

    And not for nuthin' but don't forget that we live in New Jersey and there are several ways that you can mysteriously disappear. Trust me. No one will miss you and your cute little growly noises.

    Consider this a friendly warning.
