Wild Tangents
Marc talks about life in Nashville, life as a Catholic and life as a geek.

In the last episode of Lost (aired 10/11/06), Sawyer offered Kate whaat he called a “fish biscuit”. Now everyone is calling it a “fish biscuit”. But I wonder. Is that it really? I mean we don’t call what’s to the right a “bone biscuit” do we? So why call it a “fish biscuit”, just because it’s shaped like a fish? I think we should just call it a “bear biscuit”. So like others in the past, I want to make sure we call things what they’re supposed to be called. Please call it a “polar-bear biscuit”. Don’t make me come over there. Don’t make me turn this into a crusade!

I was reading this the other day. Steven talks about some record he had that he played over and over again in his youth (in the 80’s). For some reason it reminded me of Doctor in Distress, which was an ill conceived effort to save the BBC programe (isn’t that they way those people spell it?) “Doctor Who” while was on hiatus and was possibly to be canceled in 1985. Even though this song was recorded, the show did come back. It wouldn’t be canceled for another four years. This song however seems to live on. I remember it well too. I had a copy of the single. I have tried to forget it and hadn’t thought about it until reading Steven’s post. Well, I can’t keep it myself. I feel I must inflict it on all you reading this. So without delay, here is “Doctor in Distress”.

Yes, it’s a bloody video. I tried to find an MP3, but all I found was this, which doesn’t seem to be there anymore. Besides, the video “enhances” the experience anyway.  Enjoy!

Not only has a government agency admitted to finding aliens in Roswell, they’ve put out a press release on it…

To the left right (the other left) you’ll see a neat little thing I created over at the Seal Generator.

The Seal Generator a neat little web app that allows you create a seal for any occasion, organization or other entity. It has plenty of features including color pickers for all the colors in your seal, pop-up windows for choosing the emblem (in my case a seal, go figure) and boarder and multiple fonts for the text.

They also have an area at the bottom where you can order stickers and magnets with your seal on them. It’s pretty cool. Go check it out.

I love this one….

I also like the Vonage commercials, especially the one with the  guy in the lobster suit getting stuck in the revolving door.

I do not like any of the Burger King commercials though.  I’m especially creeped out by the Burger King dude (if I ever wake up with him in my bed, I’ll be checking myself in into an institution).  The “big bucking chicken” and the “maybe I do want to be a french fry” chicken don’t really help either. Yup, I’m afraid I’ve had my last Whopper.
