Rocky Raccoon . . .

Plugs.
Just a new 8 1/2 By Eleven. Strip 537 in which Leyla reveals she is a bit of a swinger. Also some of you may have noticed I am having a issue with Feedburner, and my feed, I am in process of trying to correct it.\

Also if you ever wanted to be a part of Malach's softball team, or are a just a fan, the new uniform is up and available to purchase, along with other stuff, including Stool Sample Webcomics stuff (some of the stuff is rated PG13 and R, so you will need to register to see it. Speaking of the softball team you may notice were are in second place, one game behind the first place teams, and now 3 games ahead of the next competition (we beat the Outlaws this evening).

You Are Listening Too . . .
A Malach family favorite, Rocky Raccoon by The Beatles off The White Album. One of Dad's faves, my fave, and the kids, The Beatles always throw these kooky fun songs in their albums, especially later in the career. The song was written primarily by McCartney and was written in India. McCartney kind of ad-libbed the song while playing guitar for Lennon and Donovan. They thought is a funny, and developed a whole song about it.

There are claims the song is a parody of a Bob Dylan song, just as Back in the USSR is a parody of a Beach Boys song (never admitted by any of the Beatles). But it is easy to see. They not only slighty mock his singing style, but also his particular arrangements and compositions of the time, included the harmonica. For the Beatles, this is a tribute to the man Dylan. The song is quite simple, about a man named Rocky Raccoon, who goes to shoot a man who stole his woman, but instead gets gunned down. The Old West style honky tonk piano is played by George Martin.

The life of an internet star.
So, I get this phone call today, from a obviously foreign dude (Indian/Pakastani) accent, "Mr. Malach, you are a very famous internet celebrity, and we read your website and notice you are a bit of a alternative fuel guy". "Have you ever heard of Ethanol?'

"Why Yes", says Malach.

"Ahh, I represent a company that has developed a way to produce ethanol from organic garbage, not corn like it usually is"

"Really", I say as I feign interest.

"So, we notice your fame and ask if you would be interested in investing, do you invest?"

"Well yeah, a bit," I say trying to stifle a laugh.

"So can I send you some informaton on our company?" Sure I say, and I give them Dr. Murk's Address and Phone number. HAHAHAH he's dead!

Ahh a life of debauchery and sin.
You got be kidding me.
