Del Rivers
WU Reader Frank Stamm kindly introduces us to the music of Del Rivers. Mr. Stamm further enlightens us:
A cover story was done on Del in Rochester’s alternative newspaper City
News in 2001 that said of him “the list of musicians he's worked with
reads like a who's-who of Rochester garage rock: Cousin Al, Insiders,
Fadeaways, It's My Party, Fertility Rite Brothers, McFadden's Parachute,
Fugitives, Earthlings.” Del has been backed back by some of Rochester’s
best musicians, and has turned out a list of singles over the years that
place him at the head of the pack: “Second in Line”, “Soul Chaser”,
“She Walks Like a Robot”.
After taking a detour for a few years into comedy and acting, he has found
a new band that matches his musical sensibilities, Fudge Club. They have
released three music videos now: “Duesenberg (All The Way)”, the
controversial “Ape Farmers”, and now the new single, “Wacky Bushy
Pine-ackles”.
It’s never too late to jump on the Del bandwagon! Del Rivers will field
all questions at [email protected] He will answer questions about
his new work, old work, or his problems with women.
Thanks, Frank! I think.....

Does Size Matter?
You really can get statistics on anything on the internet. Even a list and map of average penis sizes the world over. The list is by country with measurements given in centimeters and inches both. Important research.

BACON JAM
Yes, you read that correctly, bacon jam, and you can send away for it too! Skillet sells this gastronomic delight online and it their restaurants.

SWAT Team Responds to Buriito Outrage
What do you do when the price of a burrito goes up? If you order seven and can't take the price increase, the next thought is to threaten the Taco Bell with a gun -- an air gun. Here's a picture of the SWAT team responding to the burrito outrage:
Here's the link for the story in San Antonio, with a cryptic "who shot out the police car window" speculation.

The suspect's BB gun hadn't been fired.
But tear gas got him out.
I know the economy is bad, but a three hour standoff over $3.50?
