Bran Van 3000 - Dinking In L.A. (Di Salvio/Larson/Vartzbedian)

Hi, my name is Stereo Mike.

Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades. You can all dial in if you want to answer a couple of questions, namely, what is Todd's favourite cheese. Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort. We'll see about that...

Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautiful day.

Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging, want those three Bran Van tickets man. Waddya think? Todd, you there?

I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes,
When Mike came over with a script surprise.
A Mafioso story with a twist,
A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hitch,
"Get your ass out of bed," he said:
"I'll explain it on the way."

But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.

And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us,
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again.
Flaring out the G-Funk,
Sipping on a juice and gin,
Just me and a friend.
Feeling kinda groovy,
Working on a movie. (Yeah right!)

But we did nothing, absolutely butkis that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?

With my mind on my money and my money on my... Beer, beer!

I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick.

Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's.

Some men there wanted to hurt us,
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss.
We could see them all bitching by the bar,
About the fine line, between the rich and the poor.
Then Mike turned to me and said:
"What do you think we got done son?"

We've got a conclusion, and I guess that's something, so I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.

We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we'll fix it all up.

Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.! ...

So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?

Russians Written by Sting (& Sergei Prokofiev!)

Sting.com discography.albums:

"In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, 'We will bury you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent to put
Words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says 'We will protect you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too"

Популярный канадский блоггер сделал пародию на сайт проекта Seсond Life. Сайт Get a First Life практически полностью имитирует дизайн портала крупнейшей виртуальной игровой вселенной. Отличие от оригинала сводится к тому, что автор блога Даррен Бэйрфут не предлагает играть ни в какие онлайновые игры, а советует просто начать настоящую жизнь, - просто выйти на улицу и оказаться в увлекательной многопользовательской игре совершенно бесплатно. А для создания нужного персонажа автор советует получше покопаться в шкафу для одежды. First Life, - говорится на главной и единственной странице сайта, - это трёхмерный аналоговый мир, где лагов сервера не существует и в помине.

К удивлению Бэйрфута, разработчики "Second Life" отнеслись к его сайту с изрядной долей юмора и не стали требовать его закрытия, рассказывает USA Today. Один из юристов проекта отправил Бэйрфуту шуточное письмо, сообщив, что посмеялись хорошо, и даже готовы выдать ему "лицензию" на продажу маек с логотипом Get A First Life, который является почти точной копией их собственного. Стоит отметить, что в письме содержится строка: "Тем самым Ваше предложение прислать Вам запретительное письмо (cease-and-desist letter) отклонено".

Кстати, автор в своем блоге пишет, что ненависти к Second Life он не испытывает, а вот ажиотаж, наблюдающийся вокруг этого виртуального проекта, считает чрезмерным.
