Doomed like salt! Why I'm not studying is beyond me 2005-06-04 21:12:55 ET I was so ashmed of myself lastnight, I ot drunk at a party and me and my pal Ned couldn't remember more than a few lines of any of the shanties we used to know so well. I did make up for it by brealing up a fight between two huge guys, aperently the argument was over a piece of cake. Garrison Keillor and Ira Glass provided today's entertainment. I just sat in the kitchen and listened to the radio most of the day then listened to more of “This American Life” and “The Prairie Home Companion” online. It's so great that they have all the old programs archived on their websites. Jump to page: [Previous] 1 « 57 58 59 60 61 [Next] Back to gonzophysicist's page
