Is this the only pop single to use the word 'abort'?

I think Inessa gave us these back to back once.

LOL! I was about to post Seals & Crofts, "Unborn Child".

One small step for 10@10... one giant leap for Sting.

I don't think I've heard it, but it slearly needs to be bookended with Brave Combo "I Wanna See A Flying Saucer".

I'm with ya -- I maintain that if the cover had been different, the "Sgt Pepper" comparisons would've been barely heard.

Very nice to hear Tasmin Archer, wonder if we could get a "Satellite" twin spin with the Rickie Lee song?

BOS Simpsons.

Have you guys heard about the 7-11 Kwik-E Mart promotion?  I'm a block away from the one they did in Mtn View.

I'd love to know where the nearest one is to me.  Brilliant idea. Last nite they reran the ep where Marge tries to rehabilitate an ex-con (voiced by Michael Keaton).

Con: "I shot a guy named Apu".

Marge (sympathetically): "Welll... lots of people shoot Apu..."

I think the one in San Jose probably is the closest one to any of us. There are only 11 of them all across the country, and you gotta figure four of them are probably in LA.

Back on-topic: That was a pretty long set. It was after 9:50 when it finished, although I didn't catch the exact time.

I think it's this one.  According to the poster at the store, they only did this in 12 stores worldwide.  

You don't suppose the fact that this is the nearest one to Google HQ had anything to do with it?  Nah, me neither.

It is indeed the only one in the Bay Area -- while only 12 got the complete makeover, all 7-11s are selling select "Kwik-E-Mart" products.

The Simpsons promo campaigns are unfortunately going too far in at least one respect: Time has agreed to do a "10 Questions" feature with Homer.  I'm personally uncomfortable with that blurring of journalism with cross-promotions, unavoidable though it may be in such a highly consolidated industry.
