Why couldn't they just put gum in the locks?
My truck got broken into today. Nothing was stolen, and some nice people from the office down the road chased the culprit off.
What could they have stolen?
- a pair of jeans, a coat, and a hoodie
- lots of tapes (Shakespeare, My Butt by the Lowest of the Low, Dream Into Action by Howard Jones, and Beelzebubba by the Dead Milkmen were the cream of the crop).
- a hydraulic jack
- napkins...LOTS of napkins
- fifty-odd cents in change
- assorted fast food garbage
What did they steal?
- nothing
- nada
- zip
- zero
- zilch
However, I'm going to be out two hundred and eighty bucks - four days before Christmas, mind you - and that's the really crappy part. As Randall said to Dante, "A bunch of savages in this town!"

RIP Richard Pryor
This guy was funny. Being only nine years old at the time, I was unable to convince my parents I should be allowed to see "Stir Crazy" when it came out. I did eventually get to see it, and it was a great movie. As was "The Toy," and who could forget him as "The Wiz," or the guy who sold Gonzo the balloons in "The Muppet Movie," or the guy who skied off the roof in "Superman III"?
I think my favourite though has to be "Brewster's Millions," because it had not only Richard Pryor, but also John Candy and a baseball theme. And, as a quick IMDB search also points out, Jerry Orbach.
If you're into stand up comedy, which I spent a lot of time listeing to as a kid, check out "Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip."

As It Happens rules
Well, I left it up for longer than I had planned, and the winner was As It Happens. The Current caught up in the end and made a race of it, but it seems like a final score of 8 to 6 has made As It Happens the clear and cut winner. Congratulations are in order!
But they're both good shows, so keep listening to them both!
Congratulations also go to The Lone Banana, who knew where the African Anteater ritual came from.
