Mad Avenue Blues: American Pie

I love a good parody.
Even one that's over nine minutes long.
There are 19 stanzas making up L McDuff's spoof-song, and every one's dead on.
Vocalist Kevin Osbourne's work is up to the task, he doesn't get in the way of the lyric.

McDuff says he wrote his lyrics and produced the vid in just one day.

Wow.

Released in early June, the tunes been viewed 121,000 times.(performed by vocalist Kevin Osbourne)

So bye, bye those big upfront buys.
Pitched my client who was pliant
But the pitch didn't fly.....

World of Warcraft: Deldodin's Blog

Drippings

I poisoned my first dagger the other day.

Nature-based damage, with a one-in-five chance of inflicting it.

Everywhere I stood, I dripped.

From my dagger belt.

For the hour or so it took to run its course.

Glow in the dark green stuff.

A fashion statement, if you ask me.

Innkeepers weren't too happy though.

I was dripping on their rugs.

They asked me to leave.

So I did.

Went outside.

Stood around and watched the guys weeding in the gardens out back for a bit.

I took a particular interest in the rain barrels they were using.

Geez.

I tried really hard not to drip.

Really.

Nick Cobbing Captures Dutchman Gert on Ice

Here it is July already.

And naturally I'm thinking of glaciers.

Well, no.

But it's a great lead-in, dontcha think?

Dutchman Gert owns the Noorderlicht, a century-old schooner.

Captain and ship sail the waters of the Arctic Circle.

Off Greenland.

Where there's, y'know, ice.

Terrifyingly large blocks of it, floating in the water.

Nick Cobbing has created a masterful collection of photographs depicting Gert's sailing those waters.

Take the longer journey, the one called Long Gallery.

Well worth your time.
