I'd Like to Buy a Vowel

Years ago when many of us worked at Western Images, there was the daily occurrence of trying to figure out where to get a group of compositors, animators, schedulers and producers to come to agreement on a lunch destination. If memory serves me correctly, one of the CG guys wrote a "Random Lunch Generator" script that ran on the CG computer network, and eliminated the guesswork for us. Now anyone and his brother can create said generator. Just add zip code. I added "beer" instead of "lunch", and found that it works WAY better.


Here are some TNSC-endorsed products for better living.

Duty Now for the Future

I was doing a little music video research recently and came across this "soundie" for "The Texas Strip". Word on the street is that it was the inspiration for the music video that got me into the industry - Devo's "Whip It".

DEVO founder, and some time TNSC attendee Gerald V. Casale claims that they had never seen it before now.

Thank you Oddball Films for making that connectio .

That reminds me, co-worker Blade Ladish (and DEVO neighbor) recently got a new tattoo that was featured on the band's website:






























"So drink some big beers and go crazy tonight
They're all dressed up and they'll be gettin' it tonight
Big swingers in double knits tonight
Big babies gonna get in a fight."

Boom!!

For all of you "kids" out there - before the iPod™, before the Walkman™, portable high-fidelity music roamed the earth in the form of the "Boombox". This retrospective is comprehensive as all get out!!

As a TNSC "Public Service Announcement", here's a quick refresher on how to tie a bowtie. NSFW? Not really. Better than the alternatives.

























"Quietly here I'll sleep.
I won't even make a peep.
You won't even know I'm here.
Just letting you know that we're out of beer.

Couch surfin!"

190th

I'm not sure what's funnier the emails themselves or the commentary.

In the "best of both worlds" category, I can now apparently drink beer from both a can AND a bottle! I love America.

But wait!! There's more!! We'll throw in this Beer Can House!!!
























"Baby boom or "X",
I don`t know what I am,
All I need to know is when it`s time to slam.
Threw a little party cause it just felt right,
It lasted ten years and it`s goin` on tonight."

Eye Oh Ewe

Like the California Government, I'm issuing IOU's myself. Cocktail IOU's. Redeem them tonight in person.

Until then, I just want to thank Lee Lee the Musical Bee for helping a fella out by submitting not one, but two Linkeys for this week.

With him being musical, and all, the first is all about Sax and Violins. John Coltrane, eat your heart out.

And for the "Handyman Appreciation Society", please enjoy There, I Fixed It! Holy fuck, that's funny.

Thanks, Lee!!!

My right arm reaches out for her love only
But my left still embraces a life of sin."
