That was the nickname the schoolyard bullies gave Lisa Simpson while she was diguised as a boy, in > last night's brilliant episode. I didn't see The Simpsons last night (I rarely see any TV these days, mainly due to work hours and my living situation), but I have to wonder: why "Toilet?" It brings to mind the wonderful kids' books by Louis Sachar: "Hole," and "Small Steps." The kids in those books have nicknames like X-Ray and Armpit. Any correlation?

So I got to see it first, neener neener neener... Anyway, it's very cool stuff, and thanks to Kate for the effort. I love how Joni's lyric writing was at such an advanced stage even then. Notice the rhyming schemes, they are not the standard you would expect, then again when has Joni done what was expected? Thanks, Kate!!! Bob NP: Bright Eyes, "First Day Of My Life" - ------------------------------------------- Two purely text things for you guys; you're welcome to use them for the site Les, as far as I'm concerned: In the high school memorabilia section were a couple of report cards. For Grade VIII, Joni's report card had gone home and been signed three times by Mrs. W.A. Anderson, her mom. One teacher left this written comment: "Joan is very artistic and doles some very fine work on notes. However there is a tendency to put too much time on drawings and neglect the less artistic, although very important, subjects." Also in the high school section was this poem, which was typed up and under glass: "Sub-Marine Symphony The Lobster's Ball One calm and pleasant evening, At the bottom of the sea, A Lobster called a meeting, And asked us all to tea. He cleared his throat and spoke, "Dear friends, This is a perfect night, To throw a ball, Invite you all! Well, don't you feel I'm right?" We all agreed and thanked him, Then hurried home to change. Since mermaids don't wear clothing, Our hair we did arrange. I tied mine up with creeping vines, And donned a shell necklace, Then shined my scales, And filed my nails, And prettied up my face. And when we were all readied, And mounted on our steeds, (Sea horses, wildly spirited, All garbed in bugle beads) We hurried to the Lobster's Ball, And as we all drew near, A strain of music reached our ears, So beautiful to hear. And when we reached our rendezvous, (The mermaid girls and me), We found it was a fiddler crab, Who played "Farewell to Thee." And later when the stars came out, (Starfish I meant to say) We dined on herbs and seaweed wine, And danced the night away. So after when we had to leave The gaiety and fun, I felt it was an awful shame, But it was nearly one. So as we slowly rode t'ward home, (I wasn't tired at all) I thought about the time I had, At the Lobster's lovely Ball! Joan Anderson, Grade VII" Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The Celtic program played something vaguely Celtic from the new Springsteen disc. Then the old-timey program played various versions of "John Henry", then played the Boss's new version. On Monday morning, the Music Director noted how surprising it was to get a roots record from an unexpected artist from Asbury Park. I just smiled. It's cool to play new music at home before you hear it on the radio.
