Life Imitates Art

mrkamikaze's band, The Flying Fish Sailors, has a fun song they wrote 10-15 years ago, called "Haul, U-Haul, Haul". It's a Sea Shanty about the perils of moving yourself. The denouement is that the van's brakes fail while being pursued by the police and the van crashes into the river, floating away and adding to the milage charge.

via his weblog, it turns out not to be so absurd after all...



U-Haul chase ends in Brays Bayou

I'm sure the song is quite the comfort to the jailed submarine commander. Jay posted the song over there in MP3 format, so be sure to go there and listen to it. You'll laugh, you'll cry. It's better than Cats.

A sharp stick in the eye is better then Cats.

True. Intentionally set the bar pretty low.

I'm reminded of Andy Ihnatko's comment MS word 5.1 for mac (paraphrased):

While I have repeatedly said that I would rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick rather than use MS Word 5.0, there are improvements in MS Word 5.1. Now I would have to ask to see the sharp stick.
