Denizens, here’s something you likely didn’t know about me:  One of my favorite music genres is techno.
The alternative rock station in these parts, KDGE/102.1, used to have a show every Saturday night called Edge Club 102.1 (they may still run it, I dunno).  Five hours of non-stop techno mix hosted by a guy by the name of DJ Merritt.  Hardly know anything about him personally, and I’m guessing his politics probably  don’t line up with mine – but he spins good techno mixes.
One of the fellow mixers to whom he might give a listen is our very own Denizen & LC GodandStarCraft.  This guy has spun a few tracks of rave & techno of his own – some of which you can hear for yourself at this web site, if your tastes run that way.
Four stars.  SpatsBob says “check it out”.
Fellow Denizen and semi-regular contributor Lady Heather regales us with this tale of two books:
Students were assigned to read 2 books, “Titanic” & “My Life” by Bill Clinton. One smart ass student turned in the following book report, with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories:
Titanic: $29.99 Clinton: $29.99
Titanic: Over 3 hours to read Clinton: Over 3 hours to read
Titanic: The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.
Clinton: The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.
Titanic: Jack is a starving artist. Clinton: Bill is a bullshit artist.
Titanic: In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar. Clinton: Ditto for Bill.
Titanic: During ordeal, Rose’s dress gets ruined. Clinton: Ditto for Monica.
Titanic: Jack teaches Rose to spit. Clinton: Let’s not go there.
Titanic: Rose gets to keep her jewelry. Clinton: Monica’s forced to return her gifts.
Titanic: Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life. Clinton: Clinton doesn’t remember Jack.
Titanic: Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen. Clinton: Monica…ooh, let’s not go there, either.
Titanic: Jack surrenders to an icy death. Clinton: Bill goes home to Hilary…basically the same thing.
His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report.
Mheh.
