When In Doubt…

I was listening to TBTL before bed at 2:30 this morning and eating leftover calzone when Luke broke the news that this behavior was bad for me. What? You could have knocked me over with a feather. Mostly because I was very tired and full of ricotta cheese, but why must science always steal our joy?

Since I often use this space to bag on Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion I must compliment him when it’s due. Keillor’s decision to use Nipsey Hussle’s “I Be Killen Um” as the new backing track for Writer’s Almanac is a bold and interesting choice for the legendary nose whistler. It marks a new crossover era of gangsta rap and literature for public radio and I say it’s about time.

The shy bladder people are coming out in force over Rob Lowe’s DirecTV ads. Well, maybe protesting from the safety of the the bathroom stalls in force, which is paruresis for the course. As someone who almost lost a great cellmate to this condition when he was called to what was (for him) a rare drug test, I have some sympathy for the peeing impaired. That said, go back to your room and pee in a Gatorade bottle. We get very few entertaining commercials so I’m backing DirecTV on this one.

Everyone except JoEllen McCawley have a great weekend and GO SEA-YUKS!!
