Today marks the very last time I come home reeking of onions, olives, cheese, and grease. Yes folks, I am done making pizzas for the lovely community of Missoula, MT. No more will I have to answer a phone and say, "Thanks for calling Pizza Hut, this is Stu, how can I help you?" I'm done, gone and outta there. Many a Thursday through Monday night, from 5 until 9 or 10 pm, I busted my rump to make sure the pizza ship was sailing smoothly. Alas, my time there is over.

Here's my "make-up assignment" for missing the past couple of days. Just to be warned, there is a bit o' language not suitable for those who choose it not to be. The music is just too good to be overlooked. Also, it's the best song I heard at work today. Song of the Day #2 for 3/22/2011: "The W.A.N.D" by the Flaming Lips.
I'm sorry about the lack of posts the past couple of days. I would tell you why, but excuses are like sphincters, everybody's got one and they all stink.

Groovin' song for a groovulous Friday in which I and, seemingly, the weather have begun anew. After digging in my treasure trove of music, I bring you the Song of the Day for 3/18/2011: "Love" by Country Joe and the Fish. There is about 2:20 worth of silence at the end, just as a heads up...
Yes, they're Irish. My guess is that they were probably drunk while they were filming this too, and no, it is not a veiled stereotyping of everyone who is Irish on a day like today. Just watch and you'll see what I mean. The Song of the Day for 3/17/2011: "Streams of Whiskey" by the Pogues.

The song of the Day for 3/15/2011: "Sugarfoot" by Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears (on the album Tell 'Em What Your Name Is).
PIE|3.14...Yeah, it's nuts. For something that sounds as nutty (in a very good way, mind you) as pecan pie is and as mathematical as pi itself, I give you the Song of the Day for 3/14/2011: "Ted Zancha" by Maps & Atlases. Enjoy
I had to. This would be the most hilarious way to die. Maybe it's just some subconscious twisted thing I have. I don't know. In any case, It's a classic.
