David Cross is part of a star studded ensemble known has the North American Halloween Prevention Initiative. They've just released a benefit record satiring the horrible "Do They Know It's Christmas" benefit song you might remember from the 80s. Who are the stars you ask? Folks like Beck, Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Roky Erickson (13th Floor Elevators), Arcade Fire, Postal Service. The list goes on. I just picked this up at my local record store for $5 on Vice Records and all the proceeds go to UNICEF. Not to mention the song is absolutely brilliant! David has a pretty big part, granted it's kind of a speaking role. Later he sings and it borders on the work he did with 3 x 1 - 1. Link. (http://www.vice-recordings.com/halloween/)

Enjoy!

Mine was more eloquent and didn't completely rip off the source. :)

No not really. You just insulted TGS and last time nobody stuck up for her she got mad, so i thought I would say somehting. I have no real problem with you.

I couldn't have possibly insulted that person because none of what they wrote was their own (except that very bit at the end). As for your reasons to why you made an attack on me simply to "stand up" for someone else, well I don't think I'll ever understand.

Tempe. It sucks. Good thing I wasn't born here or I'd be even more lame. Tempe that is, not AZ in general.

Take it from me a guy who has mouth sores. I know the value of a mouth without sores.

I was born in Tempe, then moved to New York.
Were you born in New York?
Because if so, this would be wierd.

I think the best way to explain these "jokes" is when someone get's bored and they don't have anything better to post so they decide to start trouble. At least that's what it seems like from "killing time at work".
