My apologies to Bloomington
To the Hoosiers at last night's Centro-matic show, I should explain: Will was rambling about "magic pudding" cause I put him up to it, not because he was intoxicated/crazy. Don't get me wrong, he was most likely intoxicated and crazy, but that has nothing to do with the several seemingly random and/or convoluted "magic pudding" references.

Thanks, Will! Hopefully I can work out some sort of Jell-o sponsorship for the band.

Italian Insurance company will pay over your dead body.
I don't want to upset any local Italians, but man, your justice system sucks: "A man given six months to live by his doctors has been told by an Italian court to come back in 14 months to hear the outcome of his demand for insurance damages."

"That's sad, but it'd make an hilariously zany Roberto Benigni movie."

In other international news, apparently the US has asked the Irish Republican Army to kindly disband and go about its merry way. I think it was all over for Ireland once we started using Sunday, Bloody Sunday as a theme song for NFL football.
