Honestly, folks, Fridays do not get any better than this. The sheer thrill of rolling out the front door & drawing awed stares at the bus stop in the morning is worth the price of admission & then some.
Pete & Carson are back, & they’re ringin’ the bell. When they step up to the mic, all the fly girls yell. Will that song be stuck in your head now? Definitely, & for that I am sorry. For the record, they will also do the Kid N’ Play dance upon request, provided that you will throw nickels at them in return. It’s more entertaining than watching a very small monkey in a fez clash two miniature cymbals together, & both rides will cost you the same.
Pete’s tieing the room together with a Lebowski-rug-esque, Fresno Comfort Inn carpet pattern print that’s stranger than the Alps. For the record, it has NOT been peed on (& he’s sorry he even had to note that, but these are the pitfalls of Lebowski rug references). It’s a nice interpretation of a Persian rug, though it was obviously created by someone who has never been to that little exotic corner of the world. Said someone did, however, stay at a Comfort Inn last night (so you know s/he know’s what s/he’s talking about).
Meanwhile, to the right (follow the dual pointer-fingers), Carson is cruisin’ for a bruisin in a Darjeeling Limited-edition Moroccan spice rack hipster explosion. In this day & age of World-Music-As-Hipster-Street-Cred, he’s one upped the proverbial Vampire Weekend “Paul Simon Hard-On” ante & is steering the ship more into Qawwali territory. If Nusrat Fateh Ali-Khan were still alive, he’d sign Carson up as the opening act of his next world tour based upon the merits of that tie alone. Carson would be required neither to sing nor play music, but simply to stand front & center & weather the storm of thrown flowers & undergarments.

It was a close call today (seeing as the pattern & structure of the two respective ties are so similar), but Carson was ultimately declared the victor.
Nice work, gentlemen. Nice work.
