Yeah, uhh, the ides of march is great if you're just getting into ides, I guess. I celebrate better, less commercialized ides, though. You've probably never heard of them. ...
On today's date in 1977 astronomers discovered a faint but distinct ring around Uranus, which is a true sentence I want you to savor. ...
The military and political history of the cruise missile, a weapon and a tool of foreign policy that became an irresistible temptation to a string of American presidents eager to "show resolve" and blow stuff up without putting American lives at direct risk. This one's worth your $2.

I saw Pantera thrice, never on purpose. However, much restecp to Dimebag and his band. All three times, they fucking tore shit up. I never became a big fan, but that dude knew how to let it all out. Unfortunately, so did some nutjob who gave irony a bad name by destroying a creator of art that the shit for brains apparently loved (perhaps a bit too much, but hey, all the great ones go young, yeah?). I thunk I heard the guys in Pantera talk once about how they wouldn't keep doing it forever, with some comment about a bunch of sixty year-olds trying to kick it like that. Tragic how people get what they wish for sometimes, really…
