And before that...

I declare today Hoover day!

Happy Hoover day!

I think all that hot snakes and les savy fav and subsequent drive like jehu listening just sort of naturally led me to recall that Hoover existed (that, and i was making a mix tape for a 13 year old budding punklet who I felt needed to learn some things about some stuff) and let me tell ya: BOY OH BOY DID THEY EXIST. With a vengeance.

Hey speaking of Hoover, one time at Toys R Us I found these 12-inch "Leaders of the World" dolls and it was a series of four and it was George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams (I think) and.. Herbert Hoover. The logical four leaders of the world that first pop into your head when you think to yourself "I'm going to make a Leaders of the World Inaction Figure series and it's going to be a massive hit with the kids. No wait! I'm a fucking lunatic! It won't be a massive hit with the kids at all! But the lamer uptighter grandmothers will buy em so shit, why not?"

The Herbert Hoover doll comes in an ill-fitting grey suit with some rill RILL bad stitching and a tie and he has a kind of pained expression on his face. I haven't yet taken him out of the box, but make no mistake, the FIRST thing I thought when i got that bad boy home was "Naked Herbert Hoover, bathtub. Right now."

I bought the store out, there were only 4 left. I gave them away. One to bob massey, one to david wilson, one to thos, and one on top of my bookshelf next to the Menagerie Des Tards.

Hey speaking of linking to shit on my site, someone from Gernamy wrote to me and let me know that McDonald's has resurrected the McChink campaign. That shit NEVER GETS OLD!

Am I on vacation yet?
