oh, brother

Today is my little brother Greg's 32nd birthday, and while I was hoping to do something more substantial to commemorate the event, I woke up this morning feeling -- to borrow a line from Withnail -- "like a pig shat in my head."

Sorry, kid. The 2000-word tribute to D-Man will have to wait until your next birthday. This time around, you'll just have to content yourself with the cutting edge comedy of Flexographic* Captain America. Take it away, Cap!

Poor bastard. He'll never know how much his routine stinks.

On to today's birthday musical selection, featuring a oft-played track from the Weiss siblings' younger days:

Anthrax - I'm the Man (from the I'm the Man EP, 1987) - It was much funnier when I was sixteen, but the same can be said for a lot of things. I still have a great deal of respect for Anthrax, as they were one of the few bands that broke away from the dour self-important posturing and stock musical template of the thrash metal scene back in the day.

*For those readers not up on comics history, Marvel and DC toyed with the flexographic printing process as a potential cost-cutting measure during the mid-1980s, but readers were less than enthusiastic with the extremely garish-looking and error-prone results.
