Welcome to the new geneation of mix tape making.

I have a tape player in my car because, for whatever reason, it is okay to have a car that old, but not a computer that old.

Now that I have a new computer, I am burninating CDs right and left.

Unfortunately, I cannot listen to the CDs I have burninated in my car, and the car is one place where one ought to have good tunes. Even more so than like, a party, because if you are at a party, chances are so are your friends and maybe some liquor. But if your friends accompanied you everywhere you drove, you probably would get sick of them, and if you have access to alcohol while driving, I would probably get sick of you, because only assholes drink and drive.

So, yeah, in order to have good music for my car, I have to burninate a CD and yhen copy it onto a tape. Which is worth it, kind of.

I decided the next time I entreated folks to sign my guestbook, it would have to do with The Golden Girls, because Gus and I have a long-standing debate over who is more attractive: Bea Arthur or Rue McClanahan.

I have ranked the Girls as follows, #1 being most attractive:

1. Betty White

2. Bea Arthur

3. Estelle Getty

4. Rue McClanahan

Gus feels that Bea and Rue (man, those are the best fucking names) should be switched, thereby making Rue the second most attractive and Bea the least attractive of the four.

What do you think?
