As a child of the seventies in Atlanta I watched all of the older syndicated on what was to be later called TBS including the Andy Griffith show as well as the offshoots and all of the other sitcoms.

I have said before that the World Wide Web is a glorious place. Where else could you find something as cool as the edited footage from the Andy Griffith show set to the tune of Peaches – Fuck the Pain Away. Sooner or later I am going to be in Washington and I am going to have to buy the Zero Boss a beer. Thanks for turning me on to the link at 5AM this morning which is when I came across it.

My brother came to visit this weekend and left me a copy of his new book to review. I have just started it and will post a full review later once I have finished it, but I have made it into the second chapter (which I had previously read an excerpt from) but I will tell you that right in the first it grabs you and wants you to keep on reading. I had to force myself to put it down as I have to go in to work in a few minutes to surprise some folks with a mid-shift drawer change.

If you are adventurous enough to go ahead and get it or have already heard the podcasts, head on over and purchase Republic: A Novel of America’s Future at Amazon.

…not really but that is the title for the inestimable Elisson’s new book! woohoo. It is a collection of 100 of his 100 word stories. If you have had a chance to read them over at hos site you know exactly what I am talking about.

Shorts in a Wad: One Hundred 100-Word Stories is the title and it’s also the link to where you can purchase it on Amazon…go check it out.
