Meanderings Of An Overfed Crime Dog
Hey! Did you miss me? Just when you thought you were rid of the ol' Crime Dog, here I am again. It's been a hectic holiday season, and my ass hasn't caught up with my head in a about a week. Usually, my head is so far up my.....well, you get the picture. We're just getting past Christmas here at the ol' Casa de Crime Dog, and now it's time to gear up for the annual New Year's Eve bash already.
I wanted to blog yeterday, but was chained to my desk with double-secure pick-proof locks, and could come up for air only a couple of times. There was definitely some blog fodder from the holidays, as well as yesterday's Arizona Republic Fish-Wrap And Bird Cage Liner (AZRFWBCL). You know you can use that thing to wash your windows and wrap Christmas presents too? We're talking multi-use flexibility here.
Yesterday, the AZRFWBCL reported on gibbons, which are some kind of ape or monkey or some shit, and how they sing to one another when danger approaches. Now, that's cool. I just wonder what they sing? The Police's "Every Breath You Take" comes To mind. Anyway, we welcome your contributions and suggestions along those lines. Just what do gibbons sing to one another?
There was also a story about a jail inmate somewhere who farted too close to another inmate and got his ass kicked for it. The farter was charged with assault. I thought that reprehensible, but TFMCD found it decidedly fair and even-handed. Our good friend the Goat will be doing "life without parole" as a habitual offender before you know it.
Finally, TFMCD gave me one of the coolest Christmas gifts EVER. It's an 80GB iPod that hold more music then I can stuff into it in three lifetimes. I've put 520 songs in there so far, and I barely have a little blue dot on the far left side of that graph telling me how much room I have available. It escapes me how they pull this shit off. Anyway, just for laughs, I ran it through "shuffle" play while writing this, and here, for your edification, and because it's my blog after all, is what it spit out:
1) Piper - Phish
2) In France They Kiss On Main Street - Joni Mitchell
3) Big Rig - Jimmy Buffett
4) You Don't Mess Around With Jim - Jim Croce
5) I Can't See The Ocean - Bob Karwin
6) Recovering The Satellites - Counting Crows
7) Mary - Sarah McLachlan (Is that woman hot or what?)
8) Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On - Jimmy Buffett
9) Cinnamon Road - Shawn Colvin
10) Trip Around The Sun - Jimmy Buffett and Martina McBride
