There is much craziness at Remix Central, given the Arrival of the Parental Units tomorrow. They're making their annual pilgrimage from the high desert to the urban sprawl that is Los Angeles for my mom's birthday, so I've had to prepare for their arrival (including leaving extremely detailed instructions on how to use the TiVo so Dad won't start just pushing buttons and erase everything). There will be Much Disapproval of the Way Keith is Living His Life™ and Much Instruction As to How to Do As They Say and Not as They Do™ over the next few days, so if anyone in the greater L.A. area hears screaming coming intermittently from the Westside, that'll be me. Speaking of Los Angeles, I have to ask -- how freakin' stupid do people have to be for this to be put in stores? Yes, in case you can't read the label in the pop-up, it says "fat free water" in two places -- once in standard print and then again in stylized script. I always thought that people were smart enough about the nutritional content of water -- in that it had none -- so they always ridiculed the fact that they actually had to print a label with all the zeroes on it for regular bottled water. As Lewis Black says in his most recent standup special, "That implies that there's water out there with chunks of fat in it, and I gotta find that because that's the tasty water." So, amidst the wailing and gnashing of teeth scheduled for the next few days, I offer you these musical gems. Right-click and save as, or I'll take out my pent-up rage from not screaming back at my parents on you.
