DEBRIS.COMgood for a laugh, or possibly an aneurysm

Stuck in the car last night, temporarily weary of hearing Octavarium (which incidentially is so good I haven’t taken the tape out of the car’s stereo since I put it in there), I channel-surfed through the FM spectrum to the first show I could pick up that wasn’t completely inane, although not by much as it turns out: “Gray Area” with Chris Daniel and Brad Giese on Free FM.

They were reading through Lindsay Lohan’s condolences to the Altman family following the death of filmmaker Robert Altman. She made a fractured mess of English grammar; she’s in desperate need of an editor, if not 8-12 years of grade-school education. My favorite line is her powerful closer, issued in all caps: “BE ADEQUITE.”

But the funniest part of the broadcast came when one of the hosts commented on Lohan’s “sense of eloquency.” That was either bitingly sarcastic or an astonishingly bad time for barbarism. Either way, I laughed aloud.

And then I queued up Octavarium again.
