Oh...

So at this Spoon concert a couple of months ago, lead singer Britt Daniel yelled "Hotpocket!" at the end of an unrelated line in one of his songs ("The Way We Get By").

I posted this information the day after the concert on a messageboard and heard back that he had yelled it at different times in different songs in different cities. Somewhat amusing and baffling.

Just this morning I saw a reply to my thread:

In Austin, when Britt did his solo show at Emo's, he introduced Hot
Pockets as his sound guy.

The power of the collective on the Internet. Wow.

Now if I could only use the Internet for things other than gathering rock trivia... that would be fantastic.

Edited for TV.

I want to see all of my favorite movies edited for TV. I want to start a website documenting all of the changes made to allow movies to be aired on television.

I was flipping through the stations today when I caught Kill Bill I on Spike. It was right after she had taken out Black Mamba and when she was talking to the daughter in the kitchen. I had to watch to see what changed.

In addition to heavy cuts, some of the funny things replaced:

*The sheriff at the wedding chapel after the shooting: "Son Number One -- this ... tall ... drink ... of water ain't dead yet."

*At the hospital right after the Bride wakes up from a coma: "My name is Buck, and I'm here to ... party." "Your name is Buck, right? And you're here to PARTY!"

*Immediately following, digital changes to shots to show Buck's key chain and car decal to read "Party Wagon." The Bride is disturbed by the name of this "Party Wagon."

Etc.
