8-bit Rockers


At the gym where the kids do gymnastics every weekend, there's a old magazine exchange. I ran across a WIRED magazine and they had an article on "artists" who create cover songs apparently to fool people into downloading/buying them from the iTunes store accidentally on purpose. Anyway, just a two paragraph info blurb, but the article's header image was this waycool graphic of musicians and bands turned into 8-bit pixel versions.

I can only get 35 out of the 43. Try see if you can name them....

Dinner Conversation, Part the Second

Dad is in the kitchen prepping dinner (spaghetti in this case) and the rest of the family are tasked with setting the table.

Lily: Jake, I'm sitting there.

Jake: I AM!

L: You sit there and I'll sit here....

J: I want to sit by dad.

L: Me too....

J: It should be boy girl boy girl

L: It should be biggest to smallest...

J: You should sit at the head of the table...

L: No, dad should....

J: OK. Then I'll sit at....THE PENIS OF THE TABLE !

At this point "table setting" ceases and a discussion of what different section of a table should be called ensues:

butt
nose
bottom
penis (again)
face
ear
etc....
