Dumb question: Is it "sealing" wax or "ceiling" wax?  I'd have no use for either.

I first thought it was the latter, but I think its the former. As in sealing canned fruit..

I believe it's the former; there's no such thing as "ceiling wax" is there?

But there is such a thing as sealing wax?  Wax would seem a lousy sealant.

"YS" isn't one of my favorite Beatles (yay) songs.  But hey, without it, we'd never have gotten its sequel, "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."

Before the advent of lick & stick adhesives on envelopes, the only way to assure that a document had been unopened between sender and recipient was for the sender to use his seal on a blob of hot wax (and for the recipient to recognize the seal of course).

Seal in this sense was a noun long before it became a verb.

In the off chance that this is not a 10-way tie I have to go with "Happy Jack" in the sand on the Isle on Man.

We got the leaves on the ground today after a night of high wind advisories (anyone else woken up mulitple times overnight by the howling?), but not the haziness.  High coastal winds for 12 hrs mean crystal blue skies.  Great day for a kite!

Wow - this garage-punk hate screed is NTM.  Weird and unsettling.

I have this CD, I'll have to make some copies.  Truly remarkable breakthrough stuff.  A full decade ahead of its time.  See below, (courtesy of Richie Unterberger at Allmusic.com):

One of the strangest stories in rock history, the Monks were formed in the early '60s by American G.I.s stationed in Germany. After their discharge, the group stayed on in Germany as the Torquays, a fairly standard beat band. After changing their name to the Monks in the mid-'60s, they also changed their music, attitude, and appearance radically. Gone were standard oldie covers, replaced by furious, minimalist original material that anticipated the blunt, harsh commentary of the punk era. Their insistent rhythms recalled martial beats and polkas as much as garage rock, and the weirdness quotient was heightened by electric banjo, berserk organ runs, and occasional bursts of feedback guitar. To prove that they meant business, the Monks shaved the top of their heads and performed their songs — crude diatribes about the Vietnam war, dehumanized society, and love/hate affairs with girls — in actual monks' clothing.

This was pretty strong stuff for 1966 Germany, and their shocking repertoire and attire were received with more confusion than hostility or warm praise. Well known in Germany as a live act, their sole album and several singles didn't take off in a big way and were never released in the U.S., it was rumored, because the lyrical content was deemed too shocking. They disbanded in confusion around 1967, but their album — one of the most oddball constructions in all of rock — gained a cult following among collectors, and has ironically made them much more popular and influential on an international level than they were during their lifetime. Bassist Eddie Shaw's 1994 autobiography, Black Monk Time, is a fascinating narrative of the Monks' stranger-than-fiction story.
