Who’d a thunk I’d ever be working a job that would require a whole weekend of math with numerators and denominators and all that
kind of thing? Not me, obviously, but here it is Sunday night and so I have a
safety tip for all my fellow brothers and sisters in the Union of United
English Majors.
Yes, we’re a mighty union but let’s face it, we’re not real
good at math, so take a tip from a cop who does. Now listen up. I forget what the deal is on a
Mac, but on a PC, the calculator has both a C and CE key. The difference is,
the C key clears out the whole long string of stuff you’ve been calculating and
just screwed up. The CE key on the other hand, just
clears out THE LAST ENTRY (CE = Clear Entry) so if you just screw up that one last
thing you don’t have to delete the whole mess and start all over again. If you
get that safety tip straight before you start into a big long math thing, it can save you
some cursing later.
Hey you know how just one more musician comes on stage to join
David Byrne after each song in the film Stop Making Sense, and how when Chris
Frantz bounds on to join David & Tina to play I forget what, he stands up
behind his drums and gives the crowd a happy military salute? So is that a rock drummer thing?
Because here you’ll see Martin Chambers stand up and give an identical salute
after a really amazing, really good driving time on the kit.
Oh and tell me, Andy, are you locked in the punch?

That would be "Heaven," starting with only David and Tina on stage, and then the drum riser gets rolled in - wish I had one of those!
That's it! Thanks Charlie -- I could not think of it but how could that be, when the band in heaven plays my favorite song -- they play it all night long?
