Today is Black Friday, the day when the Christmas shopping frenzy kicks into high gear and when merchants hope to pad their balance sheets. It is also Impacted Intestine Friday, when ol’ Mr. Turkey works his slow and painful way through the duodenum.
She Who Must Be Obeyed, the Mistress, and Gilad will no doubt be working to help the American economy in its recovery process, while I go out and smack the Little White Pill around the golf course. To those who deride the game of golf, saying that it is not exercise, I say “Nonsense.” It is too exercise. An exercise in frustration.
Meanwhile, the iPod d’Elisson awaits, with its Random Musical Spewage. Let’s listen...

- I’m So Tired - The Beatles
- Tande M Tande - Boukman Eksperyans
- Woe-Is-uh-Me-Bop - Captain Beefheart
- Tea for the Tillerman - Cat Stevens
- The Mikado, Act II: There Is Beauty in the Bellow of the Blast - D’Oyly Carte Opera Company
KATISHA: There is beauty in the bellow of the blast,
There is grandeur in the growling of the gale,
There is eloquent outpouring
When the lion is a-roaring,
And the tiger is a-lashing of his tail!
KO-KO: Yes, I like to see a tiger
From the Congo or the Niger,
And especially when lashing of his tail!
KATISHA: Volcanoes have a splendor that is grim,
And earthquakes only terrify the dolts,
But to him who’s scientific
There’s nothing that’s terrific
In the falling of a flight of thunderbolts!
KO-KO: Yes, in spite of all my meekness,
If I have a little weakness,
It’s a passion for a flight of thunderbolts!
BOTH: If that is so,
Sing derry down derry!
It’s evident, very,
Our tastes are one.
Away we’ll go,
And merrily marry,
Nor tardily tarry
Till day is done!
KO-KO: There is beauty in extreme old age -
Do you fancy you are elderly enough?
Information I’m requesting
On a subject interesting:
Is a maiden all the better when she’s tough?
KATISHA: Throughout this wide dominion
It’s the general opinion
That she’ll last a good deal longer when she’s tough.
KO-KO: Are you old enough to marry, do you think?
Won’t you wait till you are eighty in the shade?
There’s a fascination frantic
In a ruin that’s romantic;
Do you think you are sufficiently decayed?
KATISHA: To the matter that you mention
I have given some attention,
And I think I am sufficiently decayed.
BOTH: If that is so,
Sing derry down derry!
It’s evident, very,
Our tastes are one!
Away we’ll go,
And merrily marry,
Nor tardily tarry
Till day is done! - Stag-o-Lee - Professor Longhair
- Bumblebee - Leo Kottke
- Boys - The Beatles
- Thunder Child - Jeff Wayne
- Suzanne - Randy Newman
