my guest rant

Whoo hoo -- go check out Monkeyshank today as he posted my guest writer "what irks me" comments -- it's one day only. And while you're there, admire the pretty pictures, get the monkey's unique take on the things you need to know, conspiracy news and more.

Thanks Uncle Monkey! A package of cookies are being shipped to you today (I baked chocolate-peanut butter chip last night).

new definition of hell

So MonkeyShank has a great new column that's basically all about "what irks you". And in the spirit of that, yesterday, I came up with a new definition of hell. It's waiting for a subway train at Columbus Circle, then that same train not moving for several minutes...and being forced to hear a street musician's terrible offkey Chinese violin version of Richard Marx's "Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you."

And then my coworker mentioned, completely coincidentally, hell is "getting stopped in the train listening to your own iPod and realizing that the CD you ripped from your friend has a bad techno version of the same Richard Marx song!"

So what's your definition? Post your comment. Yes, even you, my Maryland buddies, please post a comment. You can do it anonymously :)
