You should update your blog more. Just because you have a life does not exempt you from your responsibility to entertain those of us who don't.

By the way, did you know that in the 1970s William & Mary had a football mascot that was a complete ripoff of Chief Wahoo? Go Tribe (different tribe).

Also, those are MY lyrics to "Lemon" and you know it. At least the first two lines are. Not the mustard part.

Am I louder than Tim Arledge???

I'm sorry, but I'm terribly bored.

If you like Paul McCartney, check out the Bee Gees songs "Idea," it's quite good, not that it actually sounds like Paul McCartney, but a McCartney fan might be open to the pre-disco Bee Gees. Or not.
