    Tube Travesty

    I suppose they might work just fine on the Space Lab’s front porch, but then again, I don’t think room acoustics are all that good in a complete vacuum.

              Dougie, could you elaborate on that? You mean they would sound really good for that microsecond before they blow up right?

              Without a vacuum that's what would likely happen, though I'd have to try it to be sure.

                        I wonder what kind of 'fun' chemicals that guy was exposed to cleaning the 'silver' from inside the tube glass.

                        Brilliant idea. LOL

                                      Both John Holmes and Paul Wu celebrate today as their origination date.

                                      As far as a freshness date, I'd say both could be fresh with Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson, or Lindsey Lohan perhaps, maybe Eva from Housewives, or even Angelina Jolie when she's single again. (We all know her...

                                      Stars Ben Chaplin as John, Nicole Kidman as Nadia, and is directed by Jez Butterworth.

                                      Rated: R for sexuality and language. There's some minor violence, too.

The pen was no big deal, but it was a nice gesture. This past Wednesday was my birthday and I received two unexpected packages from...
