So why do you lunge out at me?

I had a dream last night that Beth and I were watching some Simpsons episode where it was revealed that Principal Skinner had a grandchild (hey, after that ninth season business about Armin Tamzarian, that might not be as unlikely as it really should be), but something went wrong with the cable, and some other channel (one of the major networks, I think) started broadcasting on the channel that had been FOX. That's kind of a run-on sentence, isn't it?

Happy birthday to John Conant Flansburgh, the self-proclaimed lower half of They Might Be Giants. I guess he's 44 now. Isn't that a little too old to be a rock musician? {g}

It is also Orson Welles' birthday. I think the plan was for Flans and Orson to do a fight to the death for the rights to claim the birthday, but they ended up just deciding to join forces for the power of rock.

Then they both realized Orson was already dead, and had a good cry. It was sad, but cathartic.

I believe I heard that TMBG originally wanted to use Orson Welles for their mascot, but they were afraid of being sued, so they used William Allen White instead.

And don't forget that Mrs. Pell's Fish Sticks are even better when you're dead!
