Special Offer for Clock Members
When I first heard of Kurt Vile, I totally dismissed him as a poseur based on his name, a cutesy play on the name of the German composer. Later I discovered it was his birth name. I then felt sorry for him and decided to give him a chance. You can too. For a free download of his latest album go to www.matadorrecords.com/mp3promotion.php

The Kill Team
The Kill Team: How U.S. Soldiers in Afghanistan Murdered Innocent Civilians
Early last year, after six hard months soldiering in Afghanistan, a group of American infantrymen reached a momentous decision: It was finally time to kill a haji.
Among the men of Bravo Company, the notion of killing an Afghan civilian had been the subject of countless conversations, during lunchtime chats and late-night bull sessions. For weeks, they had weighed the ethics of bagging "savages" and debated the probability of getting caught. Some of them agonized over the idea; others were gung-ho from the start. But not long after the New Year, as winter descended on the arid plains of Kandahar Province, they agreed to stop talking and actually pull the trigger...

Hitler Meets Christ
A Netflix member review:
I had to look up "People's Elbow". From urbandictionary.com :
You're welcome!
.
If this movie were food, it would be that left over meatloaf your mom made because your girlfriend was coming over but then she broke up with you and you hated meatloaf for like...a week. Then you were really hungry and you looked in the cupboard, only to find a poptart, an OOOPS All Berries! Capn'crunch, and half a box of Jello, which made you wonder, hmmm what's in the fridge. Then you see the meatloaf and you're like oh man that looks awesome cause I love meatloaf. But then you eat it and half way through you realize you'd rather take a People's Elbow to the dick then be forced to eat another bite of that God forsaken meatloaf
I had to look up "People's Elbow". From urbandictionary.com :
the people's elbow was one of the signature moves of the rock. first he would look at the croud. then pull off his elbow pad in slow motion and throw it into the crowd. then he would run left,bounce off the ropes then over the guy on the ground, bounce off the ropes again. then he would kick his right leg up and drop his elbow ont the man's heart.
You're welcome!

Sacrebleu!
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Steamboat Springs restaurateur Marco Pauvert, 55, has been scheduled for two separate trials in the two accusations of indecent exposure leveled against him.
Pauvert [or is it Pervert?] was arrested Aug. 25 after a woman accused him of exposing himself to her in his downtown Steamboat Springs restaurant, The Epicurian. Since that time, another woman went to police and reported a similar incident that allegedly took place in July.
In both cases, the women allege Pauvert emerged from a rest room fully naked while they were at the restaurant.
In an e-mail, Pauvert's attorney, Jeffery Weeden, suggested ulterior motives for the accusations against Pauvert.
"Sadly, there has also been a past history of animosity by certain members of this community towards him and his French ancestry," Weeden wrote.

"Sleeper" House
The Sculptured House, as featured in the 1973 Woody Allen sci-fi comedy Sleeper (and visible on the drive from Denver to Aspen), was sold at foreclosure auction for $1,529,401, $1 more than its mortgage loan holder bid for the home. (Orgasmatron not included.)

Opportunity!
From The Denver Post:
BOULDER — And then there was one. A single black cat — whiskers, ears and fur singed, and nose and paw pads badly burned — is the only domestic animal displaced when wildfire raced through the foothills last week that has not been reunited with its people.
Nicknamed "Sizzle" by veterinary caregivers looking after him, the jet-black kitty with pale green eyes was found hiding under a rock along Post Boy Road on Sugarloaf Mountain. He was taken by Boulder County Animal Control officers to Alpenglow Veterinary Specialty Emergency Center in Boulder on Saturday, where he was put on oxygen for two days to help him recover from smoke inhalation.
He is the only one of the 115 or so dogs and cats displaced by the Fourmile Canyon fire who has not been claimed. Rescued animals were sheltered by the Longmont and Boulder humane societies and at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. "Everyone else that we know of has someone to go home to," said Sara Spensieri, animal control specialist with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. "Everyone that is, except Sizzle."

Meet Badger!
No, not that one; I'm referring to the newest member of Feral Boy's clan:
Though her name may smack of Wisconsin, and her paws scream "Michigan," she's a full-blooded Coloradan. Saved from the local shelter, she's thirteen-weeks old and 2 1/2 lbs. Stop by and visit her soon, as Little Bear seems committed to the idea of killing and eating her.

Louie
Louis C.K. is one of the funniest comics working today. He starred in the disappointing HBO series "Lucky Louie" several years ago, but I recently saw two early episodes of his excellent new FX series, "Louie," a composite of snippets from his comedy routines mixed with semi-autobiographical vignettes from his life, and I love it. It is alternately poignant and very funny. Check it out at 11pm Eastern Time (followed by the previous week's episode), plus repeats on Sunday. Or, check it out online: Louie

ZombieFit
From June's WIRED: Are you truly prepared to survive a rampage of the undead? Because it’s not just a matter of stockpiling MREs and shotgun ammo; you need to train for some serious fight-and-flight situations. That’s the idea behind ZombieFit, an exercise class in St. Charles, Illinois. To prepare for Z-Day, students do cardio, lift weights, and practice parkour maneuvers in a foam rubber mock-up of an urban environment. “It’s about being quick and efficient with your movements,” explains instructor Jesse Randall. “If the zombies come, you’re going to need to conserve your energy.” If? I think he means when.
Feral Boy will give the following reporter the benefit of the doubt and assume she already suffers from a zombie-inflicted closed-head injury:
