Well, I Hope They Finish Recording it So I Can Get My Co-Writing Royalties! I'm responsible for the worst line there, and in fact one of the worst lines ever -- Well, I'm so hot for you, and you're hace fria....

Anyway, these are my friends and they now dress up like monsters.

And in this episode, Mummy goes mustache:

What's funny -- to me -- is that I've been in the recording studio with three of these guys, and that's more or less how they talk. "Cherry on top," etc.

New Reason Online Column From Me -- "Barry U.S. Bonds: A few irregularities to ponder as the feds finally haul the home run king to court": Yes, I'm still beating that dead horse('s ass). The lead, sans links:

The thing to realize about the BALCO steroids scandal, which lurches into its most headline-grabbing phase yet today when baseball home run king Barry Bonds is arraigned on five counts of perjury and obstruction in a San Francisco courtroom, is that the federal government's underlying criminal case has been closed for more than 28 months.

The results of this publicity blitz are 100% predictable -- Barry Lamar Bonds will be declared guilty with prejudice in the court of public opinion long before his case ever reaches a verdict. Meanwhile, Major League Baseball will continue toughening its testing and punishment standards for banned substances, and Congress will continue adding penalties to the illegal distribution of legal substances. It may not be justice, but from the federal government's point of view it will be Mission Accomplished.
