From the “The Evil Empire Is Up To Their Old Tricks Again!” Dept:

That AT&T would unilaterally raise their prices because they can in a realm where "competition" is a complete joke is hardly a surprise. But the way they did it and the conspicuous lack of meaningful notice falls square into the realm of "deceptive trade practices". Now if only we had a Federal Trade Commission that actually cared enough to enforce the law...

It's not often that one of the songs in theme of the night provides the title but here's one that absolutely does do just that! :)

Tonight's theme features the King of Pop and not even a delayed start and lack of the Zamboni before the first game was going to stop us! :)

One of the quickest themes to come together but make no mistake, this is no mellow mix but you're going to be feeling just fine knowing it's 4:20 somewhere, man! :)

Just when you thought you'd found the biggest dingleberry amongst the door-to-door irritants, along comes one whose technique truly beggars belief. But I'll at least admit that I was impressed he was willing to use the word "nincompoop" in the 21st Century... ;)

What else could we possibly do to kick off the 13th season of Ironclad but honour the most amazing story in the news this week. And no, it's not all of the silliness in the Middle East... :)

From the “I Think I’ve Figured Out Who The HOA Management Company’s Accountant Is…” Dept:

There's a reason why the relationship between me and the HOA's pet management company works best when I don't have to deal with them other than firing off an annual check in their general direction once a year and then hoping they'll leave me the hell alone to live in peace. Sadly, their dodgy accounting ensured this would not be one of those years... :(

Éirinn go Brách! Were that my luck as good as the Irish as the speakers being off at the rink rather buggered the set on St Patrick's Day. But no worries, the set went off without a hitch on the Friday following... :)

Eric Clapton leaves The Yardbirds on this date in 1965 over creative differences. I think it's safe to say he's done all right since then... :)

Boston may be a rather dirty word to diehard fans of the Carolina Hurricanes (former Hartford Whalers who were stuck between the Tri-State area and Boston!) but in the world of music, there are very few rock bands that could ever match their talent.

The HOA's management company seems to love trying to assess bogus late fees as part of their reign of terror. Perhaps they might consider being far less evil and condescending and just do the job we pay a princely sum for them to do...correctly!
