Looks like we've reached that point in the evening where we listen to one or more Guided By Voices songs that are probably about drinking.

I recently revived an old Gmail account that Google helpfully threatened to delete for inactivity.

I'm thinking of getting a restraining order against Bath and Body Works now.

[Mike DeLong @mkdlng]

Don't worry. He's listening to Pye Corner Audio.

Still wonder whatever happened to saki from rec.arts.beatles.

@RiverTamYDN @chuckulls Not if it's a debit card and he died intestate.
