A good song by XTC

This was in a 12-inch LP I have around the house somewhere. When I got it, I played it over and over and over.
Note the train-ish rhythm and the lyrics that kinda of match up.
I can't understand why they didn't record this one and put on an album somewhere.

This about says it all

It was a perfect game

As a Cleveland Indians fan, i certainly did not want to see my team be the victim of a perfect game by Detroit's Armando Galarraga, however, the blown call that ended the game moments ago makes a great case for instant replay.
Jason Donald did not reach the first base before Galarraga's foot touched the bag. It was not a hit.
I wish there was some way to MLB to review that call and give Galarraga the perfect game he deserves.
Donald probably appreciates the extra hit, though ...
I wish I could find a photo of the blown call. If I find one, I'll post it later.

Another word I hate

How often is it that someone starts the answer to your question with the word, "basically," and proceeds to give you a complex, detail-laden description of what they want to tell you?

A phrase I hate

Lots of people like to fall back on saying, "At this time ..."
As in "At this time, we will all move to the bleachers for a musical number by Joan Jett."
You don't need it. Ever.
The meaning is always the same as if you didn't add "at this time."
