I Need to Get the Sheet Music for This.


Yes if you've ever wanted to play John Cage's orchestral masterpiece 4'33" (4 minutes 33 seconds), now you can buy the sheet music for it online. It's a steal at only $5.95 plus shipping. Click here to order. With comments like .. "Most versatile work in my repetoire" it's a must for any beginning musician.

If you've never heard this master work, then here is a video of the BBC Symphony Orchestra playing it

This is the Definition of Performance Art.

There are two required elements for something to be performance art.

1) Nudity
2) Nonsense

This video is the very definition of performance art.

Someone is giving away hyacinth macaws on craigslist. In the ad they state ...

"these are lovely birds they are well tamed and they also DNA tested interested person get to me via ..."

DNA tested? Yeah lady, it looks like a hyacinth macaw but can you prove it? I'm not taking this bird off your hands without proof.

Hey this parrot is nailed to the perch.

What do you mean pining?

You want to ask me about your office?

I got this e-mail today.

"Schlesinger Associates, a national Marketing Research Firm, is currently organizing a study among men and women in the area regarding health conditions at our mid-town Manhattan offices."

I have no idea what goes on in your mid-town Manhattan offices.

You Can't Resist this Job Applicant. It's Futile.

So I think I'm interviewing a Borg next week. On the resume', the first skills listed are "Excellent technology absorption capability" and "Ability to work effectively in a team environment". You don't hire him, he just assimilates your company.

The Bed to Die For.

I've always thought that the Sleepy's Mattress trademark "For the Rest of Your Life" was a little odd. You could interpret this as ...

1) You'll keep coming back to Sleepy's because we're so good.
2) You'll get a great night's rest from this bed.

Or you could also interpret it as "This is your death bed". Apparently this association was also lost on the Hannah mattress company because they also tried to register the trademark.
