No, that's not an earth ball balanced on Chad's head; that's the ball Chad just kicked, headed straight for my camera.
The next one comes with a mini contest attached:
The first thing I thought when I saw this pic was, "This totally looks like some Gen-X, Indy Rock album cover." Liz, Chad, and Erin agreed. So here's the contest: Come up with the best band name and album title to go with this album cover (extra points for including an entire playlist). Xtina will pay the winner 50 bucks from her tip money. Xtina's so generous.

Not sure if this already posted, but...
An excellent start to the contest - SpSp and Craig have raised the bar. I'm gonna have trouble choosing the person Xtina's gonna shell out the dough to.
P.S. Welcome to my blog, Craig. Thanks for posting a comment. I'll check out your blog too. Tell us about you. What are you studying?

I think the AV should win for her numchucks, bowhunting, computer hacking and Photoshopping skills.

now whether I would affix that moniker to the Drevlow and Chad is another story...
Way to raise the bar, AV! Well done (even if the picture that inspired this contest was no where to be seen in your cover art).
Okay folks, last call for submissions for the contest. Voting will begin soon.
Oh, come on. "Eating Out With Your Mom." Think about it. It's witty...and filthy.

I will take the $50 in small unmarked bills... ones actually so I can spend it more easily at Mettlers...
I love purple balls. Thought I was the only one. I feel strangely safe now.
ah-HEM, Matt, if you look in Olson's blog, those pics are also deemed angsty (pseudo-) indie-rock worthy.
I vote we all win... and raid Olson's tips while she's gone! Let's see, 17 people, times fifty buck a head... ooh, this will be fun!

Yeah, this one would go straight to number one. We're lookin' at a Platinum album.
Bevin - I agree. We all win.
Here's how nerdy things got over the course of this contest: The other night Chad typed me a track list of the mix he would make from these albums. Tonight, I talked to Sween and she told me she was making a "best of" list.
Now all we need is a band to form and write some lyrics and we'll be set. I'll play the gamba.
My Mix CD So Far:
1) Allegorically Speaking
2) Discovering You Were Right
3) Ass Poetica
4) Wipe
5) Polish Me With My Own Hand
6) Daddy-O of the Patty-O
7) Where Is Gustav?
8) crying about it helps
9) Grinding On
10) Aspic Love
11) Scents Between Your Scars
12) Robotrippin' With Grandma
13) Einstein's Genital Wig
14) why won't claire danes write back
15) Jane Goodall Would Have Said Yes
16) Kung Fu Wedding
17) Match This Modern
18) Introfuction [that's right. I put it at the end. this mix is OUT OF CONTROL.]
Hidden Track on Chad's Mix:
"Papercut Ninjas"
I see this turning into a subcontest with song lyrics. Pick your fav. and write the lyrics? I see Epleptic Slide more as an instrumental techno, no lyrics.
This may be a new comment record, Matty Boy. My comment here makes 31.
Nicely done.
X is back from Nye, and would like to point out that a grand total of THREE of her titles made it onto Chad's ultimate playlist.
Three, bitches. Who's the poet now?
Congrats to me! I win. Gimme my money back.
Well, considering that Chad is double secretly in love with you, it really comes as no surprise.
I honestly thought that "National Association of Tax Professionals" or "Downer Syndrome" would make it, but alas and/or alack.
Oh, and here's a lyric from "Einstein's Genital Wig", if it gets me extra points:
"I aced calculus
But I'm barely passing trig
Looks like I'm really gonna need
Einstein's genital wig"
