1824:
Subtitle: what’s in a name, anyway?
I’m sorry I missed this one, a TFG original, about the proposed name of a team headed to Houston? But I’ve got a really simple solution, not 1836, call it 1824. Yeah buddy, that flag.

G’n’R’s new tracks?
More musical notes:
(This should be a little embarrassing, you know, but what the heck, after Guns’n’Roses? How low can I go? Besides, this was what played the afternoon, while I was working.)
Long Train Running Bananarama
Sex Berlin
In a Big Country Big Country
Godzilla Blue Oyster Cult
Subterranean Homesick Blues Bob Dylan
I’ve been everywhere Brian Burns
Working through the B’s? Or would that all be flat?
But seriously folks, if music soothes the soul, I mean, just the partial B-sides? The B-list? What’s it indicate. I fear for my sanity.
Marketing rant:
Jason’s micro-payment idea worked, for a year, so he claims. I’ll admit, from what he revealed, it looks like he made more than me last year. Plus, it looks like he made it close to a comfort zone. Can’t say the same, here.I added a “pop-under” to the free horoscopes. I’ve had zero complaints. I’d like someone to bitch about it, though, just so I could get my sarcasm on. I would, without mercy, mock someone who complained. First off, the script that executes the pop-under is easily blocked by most browsers. Then again, the link leading to the location, clearly marked “free horoscopes,” it’s obvious that something is paying for the bandwidth. Finally, the ad is site-specific.
