Their Plane Took Off From DCA...

iPod touch is synched up (thanks to Costco for slightly discounted iTunes giftcards so I could get Primitive Radio Gods' one hit wonder, referenced above, as well as the Chemical Brothers' "Get Yourself High," which I'm listening to now) and we're off to the airport early early tomorrow morning to go to the chilly French-speaking northlands. Sadly, despite reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, I do not expect to find armored bears who speak in the voice of Sir Ian McKellen.

This is tangentially relevant, because lobster was used in the chocolate battle of Iron Chef that Sherbs posted about "oh so long ago" (like two days, but ten posts ago - we're getting to be Instapundit or something). The lobster was vinegared and on some veggies in a white chocolate sauce, and other than the plating, it looked and sounded really yucky. Bobby Flay, whom my sister would kidnap and marry if he wasn't A) not Jewish and B) already married, did not make that dish, and that is why he won.

Anyway, these days, more than occasionally, the web music video "Lobster Sticks to Magnet" gets stuck in my head while I'm on the subway. I am way more ashamed of that than "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" (remember being in college in 2000 and showing this to EVERYONE in the dorm? If not, click the link and gaze upon this work, and despair) as the latter is actually kind of catchy, whereas a pseudo-metal song claiming that rabbits are ferrous is not.

The only way I can get either out of my head is to sing Daler Mehndi's "Tunak Tunak Tun" to myself. I gotta get more exposure to bhangra.
