What is your dream road trip? Where would you start? Where would you end up? What stops would you make along the way? It can be short or long, whatever interests you!

Pretty sure my husband is going to divorce me if I keep lying to hotel reception whenever they ask why we're in town but what IF he was actually there to try out for Magic Mike on Ice?

I turn 55 (😭) this Monday, meaning that this is now my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!!!

So I expect all of you to double your efforts on cat and dog pics as well as fart jokes. (some of you have been slacking in that department.)

Let's go!

(AP) — A video posted to Donald Trump’s account on his social media network Monday included references to a “unified Reich” among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November. https://apnews.com/article/31002afb91b642c0314223d19e51f427

I've recently finished Silverlight, John le Carré's last (?) novel, published posthumously. Quite liked it, much like most of his writing.

It prompted me to revisit some of his earlier work, and come to find the Ricky Tarr character started the entire mole hunt that constituted the action in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Which gets me to the point of wondering what screen names mean. To me, to you, to friends, to strangers.

This isn't by way of asking anyone else who responds to dox themselves necessarily, but I am somewhat curious.

Is your screen name self-explanatory or patently obvious? Does it have any meaning to you or anyone else? Is it pulled out of a hat?

@RickiTarr , have you read much of John le Carré?

Lots of live versions available too.

Apparently the rhythm (yes, it's 5/4) indicates the letters M and I in Morse code.

PS--was that Lori Singer making a brief appearance in the Juicy Fruit ad?

Great power pop. This is off the original recording. There's a video from the Roxy that has Sheryl Crow playing keyboard. (Whole story there)

Air a Danser, Penguin Cafe Orchestra

They're more well known for Music For a Found Harmonium, featured in I think Napoleon Dynamite?

We drove to downtown LA to see them in the 80s. They were completely unprepared for an enthusiastic American audience, and ended up with two encores of Music For a Found Harmonium.

I just realized why I hate sitting under a man-made covering in hot sun and prefer sitting under a tree. It is so much cooler under a tree!!

NIN, where to begin? Everything is distilled rage, but Starfuckers, Inc. has a great video. Can you ID the blonde in the back of the car (an object of TR's anger from what I understand)? Adults only!

Not usually a shill for commercial things, but I just noticed Criterion (the film channel) is offering 25% off their annual sub, think it ends tomorrow. (My wife loves old films so this ought to be a good gift)
