Actually, Manhole Explosion was the brief-lived supergroup featuring former members of Mannheim Steamroller and Hole. They did a heartwarming rendition of "Lucy in the Sky with Goatse." I'm not afraid to admit that it made me weep brown tears down there.

Wait you mean you don't blog from your mama's basement like Sarah Palin said?

I thought they closed Manhole Explosion down when they built the new stadium. What is this all about? And has anyone seen my riding crop?

I wonder if this is related to the work that was being done last night at the 12+O and 11+O intersections. There was some serious manhole action going, and not in the sexy way that monkeyrotica described. To answer your question, smprk, someo people are seriously traveling. Some are humorously traveling. But that's not the point. The point is that my employer waited until after close of business yesterday to let us know via e-mail that we could leave a few hours early today, so I didn't find out until this morning, when my travel plans were already finalized.

And here I was thinking that with all the cops and emergency vehicles blocking off P, somebody had gotten shot at Kelsey Gardens again.

The trick to avoiding terrifying manhole mishaps is to relax, breathe deep, use lots of lube, and GO SLOW. Poppers help, too.

Didn't Manhole Explosion open for the Weather Girls?

Hmm. That still doesn't explain the Samsung Omnia ad f'ing up the site when viewed via Firefox 3.3.

That's funny, usually the manhole explosions come the day AFTER... ah, never mind.

It's all fun and games poking at the Morlocks when they're caged. But as soon as they escape their cage and come after you, suddenly it's not so funny anymore, is it?
