| The Doorbell Has Been Drinking: Week II |
[Dec. 4th, 2009|09:25 am] |
It's that holiday time of the year - but as we all know, most holiday songs are total shit.
TDHBD provides an alternative to the standard holiday fare by offering some non-traditional and original songs to review and add to your holiday library. Some of these tracks are rare, some are personal favorites, and still others ... ummm ... unique. To conserve bandwidth, I'll be rotating these out from time to time, if you've missed one, drop me a line. Here are some of my personal favorites from last year:

| Investigating Sesame Street's role in the financial collapse |
[Oct. 21st, 2009|07:40 am] |
Sesame Street got the jump on the "good vampire" trend — heck, maybe they started it — prepping a generation for the Twilight novels by selling the idea that the Street's numerically obsessed Transylvanian vampire, The Count ("one batty-batty, two batty-batty"), though slightly odd, was basically loveable. But The Count and his friends also have to answer for helping precipitate last year's financial earthquake, the epicentre of which occurred in New York about one year ago today. Yes, those Sesame creatures promoted a dangerous misapprehension drummed into future Wall Street wide boys sucking their thumbs and staring into their TV sets

| Rhyming slang for cash machine |
[Aug. 25th, 2009|07:07 am] |
Ananova: Rhyming slang for cash machine
A cash machine operator has introduced Cockney rhyming slang to a number of its ATMs. People wanting cash out of Bank Machine's ATMs in East London can choose to have their instruction given to them in rhyming slang, reports BBC online. Customers will be asked to enter their Huckleberry Finn, rather than their Pin, and will have to select how much sausage and mash or cash they want. The company plan to trial the rhyming slang in five cash machines for three months. Ron Delnevo, managing director of Bank Machine, said: "We wanted to introduce something fun and of local interest to our London machines. "Whilst we expect some residents will visit the machine to just have a look, most will be genuinely pleased as this is the first time a financial services provider will have recognised the Cockney language in such a manner."

HIGH MOON VOL. 1 TP
Written by David Gallaher
Art and cover by Steve Ellis
The first winner of Zuda Comics’ monthly online competition, HIGH MOON is a horror adventure of cowboys and werewolves in the Old West. HIGH MOON begins with a gruff bounty hunter, Matthew Macgregor, investigating a series of strange happenings in the dusty town of Blest, Texas. While Macgregor seeks to uncover the town's dark secrets, he tries desperately to keep his own hidden.
The horrors of Blest ripple out to the mountainous town of Ragged Rock, Oklahoma, where another detective investigates a series of murders following a bizarre train robbery. Uncovering an age-old vendetta, this mysterious lawman is forced to do battle with a steam-driven monstrosity.
Macgregor's tale concludes as a young woman's dire call for assistance leads him through the Black Hills of South Dakota and into devastating battle between two warring factions. Macgregor must face down the United States government - only to discover a secret ritual that spells the destruction of the American frontier.
Advance-solicited; on sale October 7 • 192 pg, 8.375” x 6”, FC, $14.99 US

Out of allergy meds early this, so I drank a beer to put me back to sleep.
It's on of those 'make due with what you have' cures.
What do you use when you are out of medications? |
