You know the 2004 Rock Hall ceremony performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" that you've seen a million times but never gets old? This is like the Bizarro World version of that.

Somehow Halloween is one week away. Make sure you're stocked up, if that's your thing.

We would like to wish a very happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. zooomx.2.
Well, I wish it wasn't at the hands of the `Stros, but I'll take the sweep all the same.
Hope you all have your costumes ready.
