McG's friday follies

I cranked the new Exodus album, "Tempo of the Damned," on the way into work at 3:15 a.m. That kept me awake as did Bad Religion's "Suffer," once I got into work.

Now I'm rocking out to the Riverboat Gamblers' "Something to Crow About," which is a great record.

Henry Rollins' 2.13.61 label has released the 1979 compilation, "30 seconds over D.C." which I ordered this morning, along with the Muffs' new CD, "Really Really Happy."

Here's an update on what happened to bugmenot.com.

Explosive diarrhea incident at Old Navy (with pictures)

I almost had the same thing happen to me, except

-I don't have Crohn's Disease
-I wasn't at Old Navy
-fortunately, I made it to the bathroom in time

Cowtown easily has the most disgusting public bathroom on the planet I've ever used.

If you're lucky, you'll only have to go number one. They have one of those old-style urinals which looks much like a tub that you just stand in front next to some hillbilly and do your thing.

The only other place I've seen one of these is Rex's in West Chester, PA.

If you're at Cowtown and need to do number two, good luck. There's always at least one cockroach or big crawling bug roaming around on the floor and trying to crawl up your leg.

Ironically, war is still considered tasteful along Americans.
