I just had to add this one!

“…my cousin’s wife’s stepsister’s sister-n-law saw a picture of me while visiting from TN and gave it to…”

I don’t even know how to begin describing this one. Lets just say it was literal - a chain of how someone came to notice someone else.

BBQ on the 1’s and 2’s

So today Bud decided he wanted to BBQ. One of the contractors bought two cute little webber grills yesterday. Add charcoal and spice + meat… instant BBQ of course.

Bud actually did a good job of seasoning the meat, although the first set of steaks were a bit raw - still very tasty. The second set - about 30oz - Perfect!

Check out the pictures of the ‘event’ in the gallery. We had some Lightnin’ Hopkins singing the blues in the background and I was partaking in a stogie and a near beer.

Good times. Think I need a nap!

(you thought I said Pornographic! I know it!)
Fox Reports:

“Last week, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry said global sales of digital music generated revenues of US$1.1 billion (euro911 million) for record companies last year, almost triple the 2004 figure, with single-song downloads making up most of the sales.”

Now, I am no economist - of course - nor am I a stats major, but this makes me feel like digital music is actually very profitable for the recording industry, regardless of pirating… Not condoning pirating, just saying: people were not up in arms when tapes were being dubbed.

If they really want to stop people from stealing it’s simple. Put all music on cartridges (like old Atari games; create a device that plays music on cartridges. Done. Then folks will have to literally SHARE music like they did Contra!

Oh, wait, then people would just make rom’s of them… and we are back at square one. *Sigh*
