Harmonious Aeolian Bastards

”It was only after a critic for the [London] Times said we put ‘Aeolian cadences’ in ‘It Won’t Be Long’ that the middle classes started listening to us. … To this day, I have no idea what ‘Aeolian cadences’ are. They sound like exotic birds.”

– John Lennon

The critic was referring to another song, and no one knows what Aeolian cadences are, but whatevs. Me likey!

Props to these young Argentinians.

What Did We Get Stuck In Our Rectums This Year?

Certainly my favorite “best of” the year list:

• “PATIENT STATES HE STATES SLIPPED IN THE SHOWER AND LANDED ON A METAL AIR FRESHENER CAN AND IT WENT INTO RECTUM”
• PLASTIC TOY, “ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG”
• MATTRESS FOAM
• TURKEY BASTER
• COAT HANGER, “PATIENT UNSURE HOW IT GOT THERE”
• CIGARETTE LIGHTER
• BAG OF HEROIN
• LIGHT BULB
• CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
• “WAS USING PROSTATE MASSAGER & IT GOT ‘SUCKED IN’”’

I particularly like the light bulb, like that’s where all the good ideas are.

More here. Ear, nose, throat, penis, and vagina included for completeness.
