Why, I did not know that!

• The original House of Blues, which is in Cambridge, has been sold and will close on September 14th. The announcement went up on HOB's web site on August 29th. Jim's Big Ego was supposed to have an album release party on Saturday, but that got axed. If you read HOB's web site, you'd think the Northeast was being eliminated from the Earth. "We have been in the Boston area for ten years, and we will continue to have a very strong presence there," said Dolf Berle, the Chief Operating Officer of HOB Club Venues. His office is in Los Angeles, a city famed for as much blues as Boston. By the way, there is no future location yet. Why would you sell prime real estate in Harvard "More Expensive Than Necessary" Square unless you're really losing money?
• Warren Zevon died of lung cancer on Sunday. I didn't know until yesterday. Play it all night long...
• It can be a real pain in the hoonglies to back up files. Be sure to perform such tasks monthly, preferably with a CD burner.
• Fighting a war no one wants is like a drug addiction. Just another $87 billion and we'll get the oil monkey off our back. We swear. Really. Oh, and we had to hock your children's future but we promise we'll put the money back. Where's that SUV with only a driver's seat?
• Morningstar Farms has become responsible for nearly 33% of my breakfasts.
• Sometimes a customer will say something that makes you question your sanity. For example, "Since you can't come out until Saturday the 13th but I move in on the Twelfth, how about Thursday the Eleventh?"
• Once Voice over Internet Protocol can handle incoming calls and 911, the Baby Bells will go under. This is why two of them own cellular companies.
• the West Lynn Creamery uses very durable milk crates. Yaffa blocks just aren't beefy enough. The kosher-joke conclusion is implicit, as it shall remain because I just don't need to get yelled at.
