If only the owner had heeded the warning of the Scottish indie band.

lol, the Waters headline just needs to be read in a slightly different inflection to be hilarious

Again, I'm doing the what now?

the Waters one reminds me of this:

I remember reading something about the origins of the Police that vaguely suggested that they were making a very deliberate and cynical attempt to capitalize on the punk trend but using their superior musicianship, or something.

I mean whatever, those records are good.

I'm not sure that an Onion article is the right comparison, but... yeah.

Oh lord, just came to post that.

Vice President Biden called for jury duty in Del.

(AP) – 1 hour ago

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Joe Biden may be the nation's vice president, but that doesn't mean he can avoid fulfilling his civic duty.

Aides say Biden reported Monday morning for jury duty along with 100 others at the New Castle County courthouse in Delaware after receiving a jury summons.

"I don't consider myself different than any other person," Biden told The News Journal of Wilmington, Del. "This is important ... It is an honor to be a part of the system."

Biden and several Secret Service agents waited with other prospective jurors in the jury assembly room. During a break, staffers and security poured in from a side door to consult with the vice president. Biden said he had to make several calls on a secure telephone during the break, including one to President Barack Obama.

There was no word yet on whether Biden will be chosen to participate in a trial.

"Where you from, honey? Elsmere? Oh yeah, I know a great place over there that serves the best wings… Oh, hold on."

You know what? We saved money. I lost weight. Gained energy. And my girlfriend and I, well, let's just say we had the whoopee time.

Whoopee time is good, but the whoopee time is better.

is it like the cushion?

Depends how much flab has been lost.

It's funnier if you actually picture somebody saying it. The whole thing just reminds me of this:

"We had the whoopee time" is impossible to imagine without some think foreign accent for me.

I think ilx needs a thread about that article alone; it's terrible on so many levels and yet perfect in its own way.
