I won't have foreseen the next post I'll make

But if you will have looked at the time of the post, or these file photos, that might will give some insight on how it will might have happened.

NOT JUST LAUREN'S!!!!!!!

Today is someone else's birthday. Who could it be?

Maybe Giorgio Moroder, composer of such soundtracks as "Cat People"?


Or Natrone Means, running back for the San Diego Gringos and Jacksonville Jews?


Or Joan Chen, who played Josie Packard on "Twin Peaks"? Me-OOOW!!!!


Or everyone's favorite Cougar, Carol Burnett?


Maybe it's T-Boz (pictured on right) from TLC?


Oh, wait, could it be martial arts thespian Jet Li?


Perhaps we will just have to wait and see....I'm sure the birthday boy (named Eric) will reveal himself.

More Birthday

There's another birthday today. Laurenz is thurtee. Here's a picture of her, but it's from like two years ago. Her hair is a little different now. And she's not as sleepy now.

I Don't Remember Posting the Post Below

But the time of the post might have something to do with that.

I don't remember posting the below post

But if you look at the time of the post, that might give some insight on how it might have happened.

I don't know how to make shit "clickable", [EDITOR: but I do,] so here's something you [EDITOR: no longer] have to cut and paste. But it's worth it. What a tragic story...

A birthday card in pictures

Tropic of Food's birthday celebration for our own "El Guapo" consists of many digitallly encoded celebrations. Take a look:

This woman is an exotic dancer who will jump out of a cake made of spice drops:


A listening party for the upcoming "Teenage Horses" release will occur, followed by a similarly themed video:


Matt Kalb will debut his new opera (which he stars in, see below) called "David Nahm used to drive me up the wall when we lived in the same house and he would also be condescending sometimes about the Soundgarden lyrics that I had taped to the wall, but now I love him like a full-length mink coat":


And finally, Dick Broadhead, President of Duke University (seen here with AP's A&R man, Senator Richard Luger of Indiana), will issue a vague statement commenting on the severity of this birthday and the culture that produces such events:


Oh, by the way, it's 4/20, man.

Finally a real birthday...

Today marks the 32nd birthday* of the man we call the brain stem of the nervous system, the Jaguar of guitars and automobiles, the robotic fish of non sequitur. I think there's one other one, too. Indeed, a happy day.

*He's 31 years old but that means there have been 32 birthdays. See, you have a birthday when you're born which makes you zero. Duh, that's where we get the term birthday. You people make me sick. Screw everybody.

It's Another Affiliate's Birthday!

Sorry it's on the late side of on time, old pal. But it's still 4/19 somewhere, like here, in the Eastern Time Zone.

Headline Writers of the World Unite!

I just was rocking some Google News and found the following headlines:

Why the Chinese love Seattle

Meat-eating mega-dinosaur species found in Argentina Not alive, right?

Gay families flock to Egg Roll
Maybe this has something to do with the first one.

Happy Birthday, Affiliate!

This dude is not in Audubon Park. This dude was my roommate in college. When my family met him, they found him so charming that they moved to his hometown within three months. Today he is 31 years old. Are you? Take our quiz and find out!

The Cantwell of the Baskervilles

...bronze coins and dates was showering the platform, that people in the whooping crowd, elbowing each other aside, were climbing on to shoulders to see a miracle with their own eyes--a man already in the arms of death and torn from their grasp! They watched the legionaries as they untied his bonds, involuntarily causing him searing pain in his swollen arms, watched as grimacing and complaining he nevertheless smiled an insane, senseless smile. Pilate knew that the escort was now marching the three bound prisoners to the side steps of the platform to lead them off on the road westward, out of the city, towards Mount Golgotha. Only when he stood beneath and behind the platform did Pilate open his eyes, knowing that he was now safe--he could no longer see the convicted men. As the roar of the crowd began to die down the separate, piercing voices of the heralds could be heard repeating, one in Aramaic, the others in Greek, the announcement that the Procurator had just made from the platform....

Beware the dangers of jamming...

The unholy marriage of the Beatles and Cirque du Soleil is in the works.

"The project was initially the idea of George Harrison two years before his death from cancer in 2001. He met Guy Laliberte, the founder of Cirque, at a party and, after an impromptu rock jam, they became friends. Harrison then saw the Cirque show "O", and became excited about a joint stage production."

Hating Babies..

There's a nice intereview with Neko Case, who plays the Cradle tomorrow and Thursday, over at Pitchfork. I wouldn't have put it up here, except that a)nobody has put anything up here for a few days and b) when discussing Celine Dion's baby book, it sounds like something David(or Ben) would say: "You know that's the grossest thing I've ever seen. That was so nasty I almost had to hate some babies for that. But babies came back and said, "I'm not responsible for this, they made me do it." So I decided that I still love babies. "
