North Piddle (and elsewhere)
Interesting story from NYT about towns with unusual names in the UK. (London? Who came up with that one?) The US has it’s share of odd names, too, but we’ll reserve those for a future post.

Saturday Matinee: Planet Drum, Sirens, Spelling Bee Champ, Wright
Here’s Micky Hart’s Planet Drum from a few years back. (I have one of the Planet Drum CDs that I play at full blast from my porch on Halloween. I love the way it echoes around the neighborhood, even if Mrs. Strutts hates it. When she’d complain, I’d switch to Tom Wait’s “Bone Machine.” She doesn’t complain about Planet Drum anymore.)
The Sirens from “O Brother Where Art Thou” sang a song both pretty and dangerous. Great movie.
Spelling Bee pro. Great recovery.

Steven Wright… well, you know what they say. C’mon. You know.
The Dawn of Efficiency
And boy was Dawn efficient. According to her husband, she was a regular filament-winding prodigy.

Poog?
Sometimes when we look for something new to post, we crank up the google mo-sheen and type in gibberish just to see what pops. So we typed in “poog” because it sounds funny. No explanation for it other than it appears on this mysterious site.
China Reverse-Engineers Chelsea Clinton
Beijing, China (Strutts New Services) – On Thursday, the People’s Republic of China revealed that they have perfected an audio-animatronic version of Ex-President Clinton’s daughter Chelsea.
On conditions of anonymity, Chelsea Clinton responded, “Eeew. That’s not me. That’s like my Mom, you dork. Like ‘DUH.'”
The robot giggles incoherently, serves tea, and pets the servants when directed, exactly like her mama does, but without the head butts.
The animatron correctly responds to up to ten questions with pre-programmed responses. These responses include, “I don’t remember,” “I don’t recall,” “Are you serious?” and “GTF out of this office.”
[ERRATA: Strutts News Services neglected to verify the accuracy of information provided by unrelated sources while composing this post. The Robot in the photo is neither Chelsea Clinton, nor Hillary Clinton, but a random slutbot. The creator, Mr. Wang Wenrong only intends to build a Hillarybot. The editors of Strutts News Services regret the error.]
