Dear Korn (or Korn's record label's marketing department),
Your new album cannot be called Untitled. If it's called "Untitled", then it's not untitled, it's titled "Untitled," which is a terrible idea. * Now, your album can be self-titled. You could call it Korn. But you already did that, didn't you. Your first album was called Korn.
So, I think we can all agree that you'll need an album title. To help out, I would like to recommend a few album titles for you. Feel free to use any of these you'd like:
Crying
Screaming
Sort of Alternately Screaming and Crying
Our Bass Player Has a Five String Bass to Compensate For His Small Genitals
Our Bass Player Has Bad Posture
Our Singer Dressed Like Jack White Before Dressing Like Jack White Was Cool
Our Singer Looks Like Bob Odenkirk In the "Three Times One Minus One" Sketch
This is the One Where Korn Really Finds Themselves Artistically, Like That One Deftones Album, and If You'd Just Give It a Chance, I Think You'd Really Like It, Honest
Korn Presents . . . Wrestler Theme Songs, Vol 7
Or, you could name the album after one of the songs on the album. My vote is for Bitch, We Got A Problem
Hope this helps!
Love and laughter,
Mrk Shrplz
* Unless you and your friends were really fucking stoned, and you were all, "Aw, dude, what if we called the album "Untitled," cause then it would be titledUntitled! Dude, people would be all like *doooozzh*, we would blow their fucking minds, man!" Actually, I would imagine that this is what actually happened

**SPOILER WARNING!** Tonight's Episode of LOST! **SPOILER WARNING!**
Current mood: Prophetic!
I had a Desmond-style prophetic dream last night about tonight's episode of the hit thriller LOST. Be warned, there's some crazy stuff going down!
Okay, first of all, you know the house, the big old house on LOST, where we all sleep? Okay, on tonight's episode, Tara Reid will notice a hole in the floor of the house's main entrance with light shining from below. Tara Reid and I start banging on the floor, she with some sort of planter, I with a church pew of some sort. The floor falls away to reveal . . . another level! The center of the floor on this basement level is tiled with old wall clocks, the kind my parents used to have, expanding in concentric circles for about 12 feet in every direction. Then, at the front of the room, there's some astroturf.
Tara Reid (who is very serious the whole time and never shows her tits, not even once) and another girl (probably Kate or that other brunette who's married to that prick that loaned Desmond his golf-club) investigate the astroturf. It seems that it leads to a beach, but not the usual beach. It's got very nice white sand (like PCB!) Both Tara Reid and the other girl go swimming face down in the water (without snorkles, very dangerous!) and Tara Reid remarks that she can see "Future History" or possibly "Future Technology".
On the other side of the water (or possibly someplace else) we find a run-down news stand that has lots of interesting books, including some comic books I've never even seen!
Later (and this might be a different prophetic dream, not at all related to LOST, or it might be a prophetic dream about an upcoming flashback about my character on tonight's episode of LOST) I'm in the park by a lake, I think it's Lake Hennepin or some other lake near the Twin Cities, and there are birds flying around. Suddenly a duck flies overhead, and Jereme Frey and my Dad start telling me to shoot the duck! I've never shot a duck before, and it seems strange to do so in a public park, full of people running and playing, but now they've all stopped running and playing and are staring at me, and I do have a shotgun in my hands for some reason, so I go ahead and shoot the duck, figuring I'll miss. But I don't miss, I hit it, and it falls to the ground. I walk over and pick it up. It's solid gray and has no open wounds or blood, but its neck is clearly broken.
Later, I'm back at my home, and I ask where I should put the duck. I'm told that I should just put the duck in the window, that that's what one usually does with ducks. So I go to set it in the window, and now it's an action figure (bigger than a G.I. Joe, but smaller than a Visionary) dressed like some sort of priest, all in black. When I set it in the window, I'm able to stand it up, but then it leans forward, doubled over.
So get ready for tonight's episode of LOST! It's going to be a doozie! Tonight at 9 PM Central Time on ABC, the house that Mickey built!

I love . . . there's no other word for it . . . LOVE the soundtracks to terrible movies from the 1980's. Right now I'm watching Night of the Creeps (on SciFi channel right now! Comcast channel 57 RIGHT NOW!) and there are a thousand little pop songs, each one (presumably) a whole song written just for this terrible movie. I want the original soundtrack album to this movie, but of course that doesn't exist, right? There will never be an album, and no one (barring assholes watching SciFi Channel at 3 am) will ever see the movie, and so these actual songs will never be heard by anyone ever. They are works of art lost under the couch, accidentally thrown away, sold at a garage sale and regretted later. The same goes for the soundtrack for the Terminator and every other C-grade sci fi movie from the 80's. Someone help me! For my birthday (Saturday, October 28th, my 30th, by the by) I would like some soundtracks. Thank you.
Stop it. Everyone stop it. Stop having birthdays right now, because I can't keep up with them. It seems like every day I'm finding out that yesterday was the birthday of someone I love, and I feel like shit for missing them all. So stop it.
Also, Sarah's birthday is Wednesday, and my 30th is coming up on the 28th. I don't usually give much thought to birthdays, but 30th? Damn. Let's do . . . something.
Once again, Talk Like a Pirate Day is upon us, and once again, I've got something to say about it.
First of all, it's "Arrr", or "Yarrr", or possibly "Eeyarrr", but never, ever, is it "ARRRGH!" That's a sound that people in comic books make when they are angry or in pain.
Also, in the interest of full disclosure, I think we should all admit that the only "pirate" we're talking like is Robert Newton from Treasure Island, who was an actor, not a pirate, and even then, we're really only imitating the Sea Captain from the Simpsons imitating Robert Newton.
If you want to talk like a real pirate, you should walk around saying "Hey, buddy, buddy, Wicker Man, Talladega Nights, Snakes on a Plane, DVDs, cheap DVDs, hey buddy", or "Nice Gucci purse for your lady, buy your lady something nice, Louis Vuitton, cheap purse, hey buddy."
Okay, all that being said, here is my favorite pirate joke.
A pirate walks into a bar, and he's got a full size boat's steering wheel sticking out of his groin. Bartender says, "Hey man, you've got a big boat's wheel sticking out of your groin." The pirate says, "Yarrr, I know, it's drivin' me nuts."
