UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY DEPARTMENT
There's a talk show in the mornings on C-SPAN that takes live calls. In what is probably a subtle marketing ploy, but at the same time is probably a good demographic checker, the phone numbers are posted on the screen for where to call:
Republicans: 1-202-737-0001
Democrats: 1-202-737-0002
Typical. Then underneath that:
Independents: 202-628-0205
That's right! We independent voters get a phone number that's not only TOTALLY DIFFERENT but also hard to remember!
Because we're independent. And we LIKE it that way.
This got me to wondering: what if they started separating for other groups?
Old People Set In their ways: 202-PE7-0003
Dadaists: 202-Giraffe quaffing beer on a life raft
Teenage Girls: Like 202 Like 7 and then there's like a 3 and then like another 7 which is so cool because there's like TWO sevens! etc. etc.
------
I closed the Phoenix folk festival yesterday. Had a good time playing for about 20 folks who hung out to see me.
Good to hear some of the people who come from as far away as Vermont to play this thing every year.

Tom, I think you have the Dadaists confused with the Surrealists.
A Dadaist phone number would be eeb bo ba fu mo mo poo.
