"A model presents a creation by Venezuelan designer Octavio Vazquez presented during the Caracas Fashion Hall in Caracas, October 26, 2004." Well, that's a feather in your cap. Holy shit, that is a feather in your cap!

Oh, this is scary:

"Toke like an Egyptian...."

Well, it's either that or, via Tony Levin (bassist for Peter Gabriel, '70s Paul Simon, King Crimson, recent Pink Floyd), "Meek and the Inheritors."

Yankees 19, Red Sox 8. Yankees lead ALCS 3-0.

Ride it out, man. Ride it out.

Buckmonster Fuller.
