Fastest Sofa

I just wanted to take this moment to point out that, recently, the land speed record for furniture has been broken. Interestingly, I do not think that there is a land speed record for anything other than furniture. Anyhow, due to the engineering expertise of Marek Turowsk, a modified sofa traveled 92mph.

Add some blinkers, headlights, etc. to make it street-legal … and, well you still wouldn’t be able to make turns. But you’d be driving around in a sofa.

Fountains of Wayne Redux

I bought a car off a couple of ladies way upstate
Took off the Greenpeace sticker and the New Hampshire plates
My friends are saying that I may have made a mistake
But I tell ‘em have a little faith now fellas, just you wait
Puttin’ in the new shocks and the anti-lock brakes
One touch ignition for convenience sake
And when I’m through it’s gonna look and run better than new
So baby don’t make a move
Because I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
You better make way cause I’m coming through
In my late ‘92 baby blue

New Things

Here’s a great quote I saw at Jimmy John’s today:

Never be afraid to try new things. A lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of trained professionals built the Titanic.

And this one’s a doozy. Of course, the title’s a quote from the Illustrious Cameron Moll.

Kaiser Chiefs Quote

There are many things that I would be proud of
If I’d only invented them such as the wheel
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
On these inventions
Surely I could retire
