Current mood:  pugnacious
A Note From the Band:
For the past two weeks, due to circumstances beyond our control, this blog was commandeered by a horde of advanced single-celled organisms known to us only as "The Xlshxk!". Doggedly determined to make known their fiendish scheme to wipe out all life on earth, they overlooked the minor detail that their race has no fingers. They apologetically returned the blog to our apt care, going about their business of (now secretly) wiping out all life on earth. So, sorry about that.

Well, it's good to be back.
I guess I would be remiss to just go on about life, not mentioning the obvious, huge, newsworthy occurrences of recent weeks. And I'm okay with that.
Beat.
Oh, fine. Yes, we have a new top dog in town, and things are definitely going to be shaken up around here. New leadership is in place and remember, whatever may come, it will only be as good as the people following.
I know we shouldn't vote based solely on what personal gains are promised us, no matter how delicious, but on what is in the best interest of the people as a whole. That said, I am not ashamed to say that I waited in line, cast my vote, and was quite pleasantly surprised to receive a bacon cheeseburger after casting my ballot. This new policy of paying to vote might be of questionable constitutionality, but I am not one to upset the apple cart. Also, the volunteers at the polls were a little rude and disgruntled, and I will be sure to mention this at the next City Council meeting.
But as a side note, I was thrilled to learn of the new vote verification system. Paper printouts, what a great idea! My only complaint with the new system would be a general lack of publicity and voter interest. Of the several friends I spoke to, I was horrified to find that no one had voted, nor had they even heard of the election! In fact, the notion has entered my mind that I might be the only one who actually voted. After the debacle that was the last Wendy's manager, have we not learned our lesson? Do we as a people think that just any Joe Schmoe should be at the helm of the third most popular local fast food burger-driven restaurant with a female mascot? This is a disgrace to our political process. And is it so much to ask for mediocre food that is fast and hot? I think not. That's why I wrote myself in.*
HOUSEKEEPINGThe Business
Nothing fancy to report here (at least not yet), but there may be some very cool news here pretty soon. Trust me, if anything goes down, you will be the first to know. Well, not the first, I guess. That wouldn't make sense. If you were the first, how could I be telling you? You'd have to be the second at best. And if you had the strange ability to know events about us before we do, I would certainly think you are wasting your time reading blogs on MySpace. But I digress.
Please come and be nice to us at Jammin' Java this Saturday (Nov. 22) and at IOTA the following Saturday (Nov. 29). Also, I hear they will be electing a new sound technician. So come on out and make your voice heard!

JFFThe Puzzle: Round 1
P I R A T E S H I P
Hint: Floating through life with a stern hook on its face.
Author's Note: The trick here was the use of "stern". Besides its obvious meaning, the stern is also the rear part of a ship. This is how the clues will be hidden in the puzzles. Normally, a second (and possibly third) clue will be added later, if no one can figure it out. Everybody good? Now let's try it for real.
JFFThe Puzzle: Round 2
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hint: The volume of DJ flyers dropped in the station bugged me.
If you don't want to (read "can't") solve the JFF, feel free to comment us in prose, or just say hello. It's good for our fragile psyche.
* Any staunch patriots offended by this tomfoolery, please note this was not a mockery of Wendy's, only the election process.
