Please Dough Nut Eat This

A slab of beef, bacon and egg wedged between two Krispy Kreme donuts? I think I'm going to hurl right now.

Call for Plays... Sort Of

Catclaw Theatre is making a renewed call for play script submissions, but JSH pretty much lays down the law about what they don't want to see - which is a lot!

Saudi Arabian Superclock

"The four faces of the Mecca Clock are illuminated by 2 million LED lights. "In the name of Allah". The Mecca Clock will display, of course, Arabia Standard Time (three hours ahead of GMT). The clock faces are 151 feet in diameter, which dwarfs the face of Big Ben (23 feet in diameter) considerably. The Big Ben clock was installed in 1859 to replace the Palace of Westminster's which had been destroyed by fire in 1834."

Louie Louie Louie Louie Louie Louie Louie Louie Louie

"I once heard Jack Endino refer to Billy Childish derogatorily as "that Louie Louie guy", and I understood then that battle lines were drawn, perhaps billions of years ago, between we who are Louie Louie guys and those who don't have the Louie gene. Jack, there's something that you lack."
