Arrah from Arrah and the Ferns has provided the music for a Portuguese movie called Azeitona which, based on the trailer, seems to be some sort of hearwarming coming-of-age drama. And it also has some of the hottest Portuguese men I’ve ever seen.

You can listen to some of the music on their MySpace page.

It’s an epidemic.

The same thing happened to my friend Eric Hotasiansluts.

D: Mhmm.

K: Does he play football?

D: Mhmm.

K: See, I know things.

There was a fire at the propane factory in Toronto.

Frankly, I think what he says there is funnier than much of what he’s written.

An excerpt:

Would you ever like someone to call you Dave?

Daves are different from Davids. David Letterman doesn’t care if people call him Dave or David but he’s the only one that I know of like that. I don’t like to write either when I sign books, though. Recently, instead of signing my name, I’ve been drawing little things in people’s books. You know, just little mementos. Like, I’ve been drawing these old-timey signs and on them I write “Abortions: three dollars.” And I just think I’m hilarious. Sometimes I’ll draw a little knot in the sign to make it look even more quaint. I don’t know why that makes me so happy. This woman, she introduced herself by saying she was very liberal, but she just didn’t want the abortion sign in the front jacket of her new book. So, I asked her, ‘what if I changed it to thirteen dollars [for an abortion]?’ Again, I have no idea why that makes me so happy. I used to draw Abe Lincoln with a bubble coming out of his mouth that says “friendship is a cancer” or an owl saying “I like black people.” This is what happens when you’ve been signing books for nine hours.

No one seems to be amused and it just seems to be an opportunity for all the negative things people have to say about the site to come to the surface.  I can’t say I’d be terribly sad to see it happen.
