Metallica - Eye of the Beholder

I'd definitely buy a Villa tour shirt, like what rock bands have. A crest on the front, and on the back something like

PREPARED

Audioslave - Gasoline

If you want a cheap, pretty good image editor, you can't go wrong with The GIMP... I haven't used it on anything but X11-based Unix systems, though.

Army of Anyone - Goodbye

Jimmy Buffett & Herman Wouk - Intro / The Legend of Norman Paperman

Kinja was the name of the island when it was British. The actual name was King George III Island, but the islanders shortened that to Kinja.

Now the name in the maps and the guidebooks is Amerigo, but everybody who lives there still calls it Kinja.

The United States acquired the island peaceably in 1940 as part of the shuffling of old destroyers and Caribbean real estate that went on between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill. The details of the transaction were and are vague to the inhabitants. The West Indian is not exactly hostile to change, but he's not much inclined to believe in it.

Meantime, in a fashion, Amerigo is getting Americanized. The inflow of cash was making everyone more prosperous. Most Kinjans go along cheerily with this explosion of American energy in the Caribbean. To them, it seems a new, harmless, and apparently endless Carnival.

"The Army has carried the American democratic ideal to its logical conclusion. Not only do they prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, creed, or color, but also on the basis of ability."

World Soccer Daily for me...

Billy Joel - Honesty

Soundgarden - Room a Thousand Years Wide

Off-topic, I know, but I'm curious as to what Randy's position is on the closure of NFL Europe/Europa?

Stone Temple Pilots - MC5

Rush - Superconductor just ended and Corrosion of Conformity - Born Again for the Last Time just started.

I don't see where the grammatical flame that is required for an invocation of Skitt's Law is. The grammatical error "there be" is parodic of the whole "here be dragons" meme.

If you're generalizing Skitt's Law into something akin to something about those who live in glass houses, I'm not slamming Usenet (indeed, the trolls and flamefests are Usenet's greatest social feature relative to web-based fora such as VT.

Audioslave - Light My Way

(spent last night at the Rush concert in Mansfield, Mass.: 9 tracks from the new album, and a couple of tracks that haven't been played since the early '80s, plus an about-80% all-new drum solo from Neil; the only downside was that some idiot spilled his beer on my tourbook )

They've missed off The People's Republic Of Usenet.

Usenet is near the IRC Isles, a shadowy area of the sea (since each newsgroup would probably be viewed as its own island on the map. There be dragons, trolls, and flamefests.

Basically each state was renamed to the country with the closest total GDP.

Also amusing is the Stockholm Metro map with stops translated into English:

Megadeth - Breadline

Jimmy Buffett - Who Are We Trying to Fool

Eric Johnson - Righteous

Soundgarden - Rusty Cage

Johnny Cash's version is better...
