So he was nearly impaled before being nearly beheaded? That’s just cruel, man.

I’m going to lie down on a pillow made of down to protest the fact that I have to go to work tomorrow morning…

This new guy, Bob Parks, I like him. He reminds me of why I liked BB to begin with. Combing teh internets for unlikely stuff, without judgement or self-interest.

From wikipedia:

A famous resident of Winona was J. R. Watkins, the man who invented the “money back guarantee” in 1868.

In 1947 the Edstrom brothers (Harold and Everett), along with fellow musician Roger Busdicker, founded the Hal Leonard Corporation, currently the largest publisher of sheet music in the world.
