This is awesome.
-So is
this. -And
this. (Would make Nicola Six blush.)
(The letters for the 1st and 3rd - I didn't look at those pertaining to the Walsh column - have been really good.)
-Sometime last week, I was hanging out with a regional buyer-and-seller of used and vintage guitar equipment (he's put together some of my favorite Michigan indie+art rock guitar rigs). The nature of his work means he comes across other things, too. (For instance,
this Corvette is his.) For awhile, he was driving a big white van he bought from one of the regional zoos. It had zebras painted on the side (that he had done his best to scrape off). When I asked him why he isn't driving it anymore, he said (without a hint of irony or self-deprecation): "I got rid of it because I drive like an asshole and people kept calling the zoo to complain."
(Which was the funniest thing I've heard in awhile.)
