George Clinton, Sheila E. go country?

November 6th, 2008, under , , , ,

Billboard mentions that George Clinton and Sheila E. are taking part in Gone Country, a show where celebrities are to come up with a country song in two weeks. It will certainly be interesting to see what Mr Clinton will come up with.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, your next stop is to get hold of the Parliament album Mothership Connection.

And Sheila E., of course, has a Prince connection. If none of this rings a bell, your next film to watch is Sign “☮” the Times.

Why no cat food made of mice

November 5th, 2008, under , ,

As I am eating my dinner, I wonder… If a cat’s natural food source is mice and other small rodents, why can’t I buy cat food made of rats and mice in the way I can buy cat food made of chicken and fish?

Because we humans are not comfortable buying anything made of small rodents?

Don’t touch anything on Monday morning

A word of advice from Mike Suffredini, NASA’s space station program manager:

“If anybody found a piece of anything on the ground Monday morning, I would hope they wouldn’t get too close to it.”

Sounds like a good advice to me. Stay away from everything.

Actually, it’s because it’ll rain trash today.

An extra fish to eat

For some reason, I proceeded to read today’s Dilbert by not processing the panels in a left-to-right top-to-bottom sequence, but instead top-to-bottom left-to-right.

Once I reached the end of the strip I thought that Adams’s punch line was somewhat weaker than usual (and they haven’t been that strong to begin with in the past… let’s see… ten years?). The funny thing, though, was that it sort of makes sense, and I think that the transition from panel 5 to 6 (or 3 to 7, as in the original) is some of Adams’s best writing.

Go ahead, try it. The first panel starts “Where are”, the second “I’m not going to eat it.”, and the third one “I’m going to microwave it”. You should be able to figure out the rest.
