HEY, NOW -- YOU'RE AN ...

I went to my son's play tonight and, at one point, I had to use the restroom.

There I am, standing over the midget urinal, when I look down and notice one of those plastic "screens" in there. What's that thing for? Sneeze guard? I dunno ... it seems like it's specially engineered to splash the maximum amount of urine back onto my pants. Sometimes they have those big, pink mints inside them and then it makes sense -- they're big, pink mint holders. But not this time, this was just like a blue, plastic doily.

Anyway, there's a logo on this thing: it reads, "ALL-STAR."

Man, it takes some special kind of self-delusion to market a urinal doily and call it the "ALL-STAR" and not "THE PISS-SPLASHER 5000" or something like that.

"THE ALL-STAR."

Really?

So, I'm wondering ... how's that gotta' make somebody like Reggie Jackson feel?

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE!

… with the sound of Roiling.

That's right -- Dino and Joe edited the footage we shot about a year ago for the short "Roiling Hills" video. You can find versions to watch online or dowload to your iPod/iTunes in the VIDEO OF THE WEEK slot in the top right hand corner of THIS PAGE.
