Tropic of Food salutes this guy:



and his betrothed, Magggie, who are tying the proverbial knot this weekend. Our only hope for the ceremony is that the vows are freestyled, much like the groom used to do in the Big House kitchen.

A Donkey Tries to Eat a Woman's Head: The Poetry that is TV Guide's Episode Summaries of America's Funniest Home Videos

A man gets himself into trouble lifting weights; an automatic seat belt nearly strangles a woman; a cheerleader is overrun by a basketball team; a parasailor takes an unwanted detour. Also: clips featuring cats

Clips include people's reactions to e-mail surprises; fishing bloopers; a woman whose wig blows off at an amusement park; and candy-stealing raccoons.

A man gets stuck in a child's toy car; a dog is spooked by a ceramic cat; a man meets with trouble when jumping over a tennis net. Also: a practical joke at a mortuary; a music montage featuring animals.

Clips include a man chased by bees; river-rafters thrown overboard; a dog catching hockey pucks; a flaming birthday cake; a duck running to an ice-cream truck; a little girl shocked by a short haircut; household accidents.

Holiday gaffes include a flaming Christmas dinner and an Easter-egg hunt that's not all it's cracked up to be. Also: practical jokes played on animals; basketball bloopers.

Videos of games people play; tooth-pulling pets; a bull rider who becomes a human lasso; an overheated wedding toast; and a salad that fights back. Also: green beans transform a child into a shrieking beast; and a dentureless woman bares her smile.

A donkey tries to eat a woman's head; an ostrich swallows a wedding ring; a woman is distracted while ironing and burns a shirt. Also: clips featuring hobbies gone wrong; a montage of football follies.

AUDUBON PARK / LE WEEKEND / CRASH

Saturday May 24
The Cave
5 bucks, methinks

For serious, Audubon Park, the band that didn't break up but did get even less professional, will play a show in [your area], thanks to a visit from Mr. DC Nahm. Look, if you thought things were unhinged when we actually practiced sometimes, well then.
Bring: a motorcycle helmet.

Le Weekend also = for serious. Easy as complicated pie. And, yes, you've been good and can have a new song. We're awful close to letting that EP go, so this is a chance to build memories of what your life was like before music got what it was asking for.
Bring: a protractor, but don't forget to decorate it real sexy-like.

And last but not least and also not last since he's probably first, (Mr.) (MC) Crash, broadcasting strong opinions and fresh perspective on the collapse of the housing market.
Bring: The Wealth of Nations and a book of matches.

PLUS EVERYBODY: on the day of the show, from 6-7pm, tune in to WCOM 103.5 on your radio dial (or hit their streaming webcast if you happen to be somewhere other than the WCOM parking lot--that's low power FM remember?) for 'The Hook'. Members of AP and LW will wax chatful and play tracks from past AP releases and preview the forthcoming LW EP. BTW, DFW? NSFW! FCC.

Finally, straight out of the Independent Weekly's preview of the show: "...Things start at 10 p.m." Now that's not just me talking!! That's in the Indy!!

RPB in a nutshell(not literally).
