Grab Bag O' Thoughts

[mr_bad_example]

• Milwaukee, Wisconsin's own The Gothsicles are playing this Saturday night as part of the MarsCon festivities. Do check them out, won't you?
  
  
• Right around the top of Hour Three of this afternoon's meeting, I began to feel a more-profound-than-usual sense of regret at not having gone to barber college when I had the chance.
  
  
• It hasn't been the same since they moved to New York, but occasionally, The Onion can still hit one out of the park.
  
  
• While we're on the subject, this week's AV Club Interview is with Jim Gaffigan. He's one of my favorite standup comics at the moment.
  
  
• Would it be unseemly for a nearly-34-year-old, nearly-24-stone man to try to learn to skateboard?

Gaah. I likes me some Gothsicles, but I'll be thrice-damned before I show up for a MarsCon anything.

Thanks for the pimpage, yo! We'll be playing lots of different stuff from the last time you saw us. And we (should) have a demo CD with two new songs and a new version of an old favorite!

You can always go to barber school. SRSLY.

I dunno about the skateboarding thing, though. I think you have the balance/grace. I think the bike thing is more awesome, though.

You could start by learning to snowboard first. Hey, John Kerry did it and he's a LOT older than you!
(plus, the falls would be a little softer, and all the ski resorts offer snowboard lessons.)
