RCRD LBL
RCRD LBL makes me wish I hadn't once been fired for streaming audio from MySpace all day. Man, that could have been a sweet gig, but you know, Icarus and all that.

They're the perfect answer to the statements 'I'm hot' or 'I'm thirsty' or 'I'm a diabetic, I need more sugar.' In a perfect world they would sell them at restaurants and bars. Beer, wine, OJ, Slurpee.

Still quoting Anchorman? Rove McManus on a Sunday is the only comedy you see? Perhaps it excites you that Rove now occasionally says ‘shit'? If you are answering an embarrassed yes to these questions then you need some comedy schooling. Let's also put it out there that seeing Dylan Moran twice for the cost of a squillion dollars doesn't necessarily make you a comedy fan.
