Roger Clemens and The Roosting Chickens
It’s not like I can come up with a whole lot of reasons why I’m not sad to see Roger Clemens fall so completely, to the point where he might be the first ever major leaguer to actually do time for crimes related to steroid use, but the ones I have feel like plenty.

You stuck my flash drive in your vagina - m4w →
“You stuck my flash drive in your vagina. If you are reading this, you know who you are. I don’t think this is a fad sweeping the city, so this one’s for you.

Alex Chilton, Paul Westerberg & Catching The Tail...
I’ve always had an arms-length relationship with Alex Chilton. Sure, I heard “The Letter” a million times, and the first time I heard “September Gurls” as a kid, I was all, hey, that’s alright, though i was just a kid and didn’t have access to a lot more, especially since there wasn’t a radio station that reliably played them in Toronto in the late...

Notes for the week of 1/4-6
So unbelievably relieved to get through the first week of trivia back from vacation without having to cancel anything.
