  • Serenity
  • Cowboy Bebop: Knockn' on Heaven's Door

    • TV

  • Cowboy Bebop

    • Strange Ideas

  • Cool names I'd use for a band
  • "The Dead Kernel Engineers"
  • "Wacky Disney Hyjinks"
  • "Lads from Largos" (Band t-shirts would simply have "419" written on them!)

  • My Cousin Didn't Get Hired!: A Steve Martin/John Candy movie about adventures in trying to get a job in today's market. Steve Martin playes the employee who is trying to get his cousin played by John Candy a job. It's much more funny if you know that I work for an employee assessment firm, and I've a DVD on my desk with that title. Of course the DVD is a rather droll talk about hiring practices rather than a madcap romp!
