finally a BOS I can get behind: PsychFurs.

This was a very solid album, but the PF's suffer from a syndrome with me:  the I-love-one-of-your-songs-SO-much, how-come-you've-never-done-anything-else-like-it syndrome.

I could probably populate an entire 10@10 with this theme.

No, Tegan & Sara are actual identical twins (& lesbians to boot!), these two are merely sisters.

Hint:  Mike prefers their earlier work.

What the heck are you talking about?!  

I don't know what I'm talking about, that's the point!

Everytime I go to Starbucks (not all that often, usually if one is inside a Safeway), I mostly get a double Americano (whichever vocab word they use for that), and the attendant always asks me, "Do you want room?"  At least it sounds like 'room', but that patently makes no sense at all, so I guess they must spell it 'reum'.  Or maybe 'rheum'.  But that sounds like a disease, right?

HELP ME OUT HERE!!

LOL to infinity! Aw, dude. You poor guy. They ARE saying "room". As in "do you want room for cream?"

This Starbucks you go to might want to instruct the staff to be a wee more specific next time.

ha!!! now i know what the hell he's talking about! ha!
i don't order coffee that often, but i am always thrown by the "room" question, too. it akes me a second to figure out they're omitting the "for cream" part.

I fgured it was rum and that the guy had a REALLY thick accent...

There's a woman by BART in the morning giving away SF Examiners and her accent makes "free Examiner" sound like "freak seminaire".

Ha Ha!!  I love it when the joke is on me!  I haven't asked for cream since 1982, so I lack the concept.  Me & my active imagination supposed that this was some sort of non-alcoholic additive that would make it taste like brandy/rum in your coffee.  Ha!

"Hold my coat & tie apart"...mshray needs a tambourine now.

[Gazoo]

"George" Dukakis?

[mshray]

Ha Ha!!  I love it when the joke is on me!

unless, that is, if it is in front of my parents, in which case I'll hear about it, ad infinitum, at every extended family get-to-gether until i die.

I'd say Ann and Nancy Wilson, but it doesn't really look like them.

That rum/rheum/room thing is a scream.

[mshray]

"George" Dukakis?

I'm on the phone & I got ring, but Annalisa's not picking up.  Presumably caller #1 had the answer.

[Beej]

Aw, I wasn't laughing AT you, Mshray.

Amen to that.
