Fun new game more annoying than your neighbors

Greetings loyal readers, (if there are any of you left), I apologize for my absence lately. I've been working a ton, and not behind a desk so Internet time has been cut back to checking emails once a week. I'm working on it, I promise!!

It's been a summer of music for me... Saw The Paper Chase earlier this summer and more recently Frank Black and The Dead Weather. Both were amazing, but the Frank Black show was absolutely stunning. To be so close to greatness as he humbly played audience requests and talked about his kids, (they like hip-hop!) was awe inspiring. It was a very intimate setting, maybe 100 people. I was so close I could have spit on him, not that I would do something like that. Here's a pic...(and the current wallpaper on my phone)

This summer's musical journey continues when I leave for Lollopalooza in a couple of hours. I'll give a full update of that when I get back. Then I wrap up the season back in Columbus for Modest Mouse at the LC Pavilion on Aug. 23rd.

Now that we're all caught up I wanted to bring your attention to a fun new game I made up a couple of nights ago. I've played it before on random drunken nights, but have decided to make it a regular thing for a few reasons. 1) To help discourage the narcissism of the American public which seems to be out of control lately (said the girl writing her life's story for all to read) and 2) If I don't entertain myself no one else will.

The idea is to let the world know that we don't need to know all about what kind of person is behind the wheel as we drive behind them on the freeway. While this game won't get rid of those annoying 'I vacationed here' ovals or the happy family stick people that are so envogue now a days it will hopefully deter a few people from telling you how much they love dachshunds or that they ahem, 'support', ahem our troops. Here's how you play..

1. Find a car with one of those obnoxious magnets that display what a douche bag the driver is for all to see.

2. Remove said magnet from the douche bag's car alleviating them of their burden. (fig. A)

3. Place the magnet on unsuspecting victim B's car. (fig. B)

4. Laugh and ponder how long it will take douche bag and unsuspecting victim B to notice your handiwork.

Fun, right!! Plus everyone gets to play so no one gets left out. Now go find yourself a Wal-Mart parking lot and wreak some havoc.
