Wannabilly Part 4: House on Wheels
August 31st, 2006
In this song, a man tells the story of finding his “House of Wheels” after going through many other trucks and large vehicles. Though it needs to be said for our Texas friends who may be unfamiliar with the slogans, “Chevy, Like a Rock” and “Built Ford Tough”. These are the slogans for the rest of the country.
Those outside of Texas may not know it, but everything is Texas branded down here. The slogans are rewritten “Chevy, Driving Texas” and “Ford is the Best in Texas” (used to be “Ford and Texas go Hand-in-Hand”… not very manly). And on a side note, Dodge is “Bigger in Texas, Better in a Dodge”. Plus there are larger “Texas Edition” trucks down here to with the Texas flag somehow incorporated in to the manufacturer logo.
Anyway. This is a much slower song that the rest. The harmonies aren’t as good as the others, but still a good song.
Best line: “I may be leaving my place of birth, but I’ve never left home”
Enjoy.
You’ve got to be freakin’ kidding me!

A co-worker sent this to me. I’m not even sure what to say.
Armor of God PJs? Yes, the Christian merchandise industry has gone that far.
Wannabilly Part 3: Nasty Old Margaret
August 15th, 2006
Before I even start this post I have to give a disclaimer:
All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental… and kinda sad.
Ok now that that’s out of the way. This is probably my favorite song we did. The chorus is my lyrical contribution in this one. It’s about a persistant woman of unfortunate look and smell who has fallen in love with a man (the singer) who wants nothing to do with her. Its kinda got that “O Brother” feel to the backing vocals.
Enjoy.

KU has a number of fine museums. Many KU students have become very famous art critics due to this fact, including some of our friends. Here is a live critique of a piece of art by one of our friends.
For those of you geeks trapped in Windows
August 8th, 2006
If you work at company that traps you in to using Windows, here’s something that may make life easier. I just ran across a little open source app that saves you from wasting time venturing in to your start menu to launch a program. Enter Launchy…
This little guy is my new best friend. It indexes directories you specify (i.e. Start Menu, Documents, etc) and allows you to just type in a few letters anywhere in the name of the file/program and launch the program or file.
