awesome japanese pitch!

OK. This is great. Imagine being the batter here. Now all the dude needs is a pitch with two follow-throughs. That way, he can REALLY keep them off balance.

But what is the umpire smoking that he thinks it's a strike?! It's like three feet outside!

and america gives us clay aiken?!

This is from the UK version of American Idol - or America's Got Talent - or whatever...

My point is - why do we have to listen to insipid covers of No Doubt songs while they get this guy? I'm not a big opera fan, but I was tearing up on this one. If I ever adopt another child, I'm going to rename him after this guy. Little "Fat Guy from Britain with Bad Teeth and Incredible Voice Griffin"

Here is a clip from Al Jazeera of a woman telling of an Islamic cleric. WOW!

how about playing 2 saxes at once?

This is a great group. Angie and I saw them at Sunset Station a couple years back. Here's the rundown:

Bela Fleck on jazz banjo (that's right - I said jazz banjo!)
Victor Wooten on bass (a monster)
Futureman on an instrument he invented - sort of a drum-guitar-synth
And my favorite - Jeff Coffin on the sax...ERRRR saxes!
