…and if you like decent radio where the hosts don’t scream at you and tell you you’re stupid if you’re a Democrat / Republican, please give to WABE, Atlanta’s Public radio station. It’s a totally awesome listening experience, and I gave a buck a day – $365. I’ve been doing the same thing for 3 years (I listened for free for 4 years.) Am I allowed to solicit funds here for anyone but Obama? Hmmmm…

I guess this can be an open thread!

Some more games that might make me buy a Nintendo (a few via commenters in an earlier thread):

Wii Polo
Mario Curling
Wii Bearbaiting
Wii Pottery
Wii Breakdancing
Wii Interpretive Dance
Leisure Suit Wii

Me, I’m going to enjoy the great spring weather. Chat about whatever until I get back.

There’s something indescribably meta about promoting this game on a blog. Don’t you wish that it came with a multiplayer mode? Oh wait, it does.

Discuss.

I am drinking a bottle of Pinot Evil right now, and for the first time in a long time when having a new wine, I am underwhelmed. It has a pleasant look and aroma, but it just finishes poorly. Kind of vinegary, and not the kind of fullness I usually expect from a good pinot noir.

Oh, well. If I have two more glasses I won’t care anyway.

On second thought, I will just cork it and give it to my friend who has a tongue and palate seemingly made of boot leather. The Two Oceans Sauvignon Blanc is ready to be uncorked. I will get back to you.

Jackpot! Light, refreshing, with a delightful citrus taste and aroma. This is a refreshing, sit on the deck and enjoy on a cool spring afternoon kind of wine. I see more of this in my future.

If you read this story, it is not even remotely funny, but it does have the most terrifying headline ever:

Lynchings in Congo as penis theft panic hits capital

Lynchings AND penis theft? That can’t be good for tourism.

Consider this an open thread.

BTW- The Day After is currently showing on the SciFi channel. I have not seen that movie since I was 12-13 years old. I remember another movie that terrified me when I was a kid was Gray Lady Down- there was a scene where they had to close off a hatch and drown a sailor. Still remember that.

*** Update #2 ***

I had forgotten Dorfman was in The Day After…
