Submitted for your approval: Nineties-est popular music group
*****To clarify: By referring to this Canadian quintet as the "nineties-est" band of all time, I mean to say that the group in question is the best example I know of a band that could have been successful only during that X-treme, grungy, Ok Soda-guzzling, microbrew-fetishizing, indie, flannel, cynical-yet-strangely-earnest, Starbucks-scented period. So, who am I talking about?
Well, these guys (and gal):
This song hit #4 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1994. #4! No way these folks could ever have been remotely successful during any other decade. The only band that rivals the Dummies (that's what I call 'em) for ninetiesness is, perhaps, The Presidents of the United States of America, but, y'know, I think they were far less precious and twee in that particular 90's kind of way. The Presidents were just straight-ahead funny, plus they rocked. Plus, apparently, they're touring and recording again. so they've still got actual fans. So, no, it's gotta be the Dummies.
By the way, I still really like The Ghosts That Haunt Me. Don't judge me.

Things about which I could really not care any less...
Here, in no particular order of emphasis or importance, are some things about which I care not even a tiny little bit:
+Transformers 2 in general and Megan Fox in particular.
+Neither John nor Kate, though I am concerned about the plus eight.
+So You Think You Can Dance Your Ass Off With The Stars.
+Whether or not America has talent.
+Who has won, and who will yet win, any iteration of American Idol.

The Devil is married?
We had a bit of a sun shower earlier this afternoon, and as I drove home in it, wondering all the while whether I should turn on my headlamps (I finally did), I was reminded of what I was taught it means when rain falls under a shining sun.
Of course, I found this notion of a married Satan dubious at best, though I considered more reasonable the idea that, were he married, he would make a very poor husband.
I still totally believe that thunder is God bowling, though.

I believe these truths to be self evident...
*Though Marvin Gaye's version rightly is considered a classic, Gladys Knight and the Pips take on I Heard it Through the Grapevine is hotter, funkier, and a lot more fun.
*If you refer to yourself as a genius, you probably are not.
*Real estate business cards are generally train wrecks of design. Cluttered, cramped, difficult to read and hard to look at. (Too much stuff is the problem, really. All that is required is name, title, contact information, maybe a small, tasteful logo.
*Jesus doesn't want you to spend $4 million, taken from money donated in his name, to build a massive, 9000 square foot house (with 2000 square foot screened porch) overlooking lake Keowee. Well, not unless you plan to house Bosnian orphans and South African AIDS babies in your obscenely huge lake-front mansion. Because, hey, guess what, Jesus wants you to help people with that money, not use it to erect an enormous, disgusting monument to your ego.
