Four strips in four days the rest of the workweek, squad. Thanks for understanding my no-show on Friday, let's get down to business.

Good work, Sox, flopping around to a series loss to the Mets. At least most of my kids aren't Mets fa - oh, wait. Oh well, from a big weekend of baseball, there's this sweet picture of the Zen master Ichiro, also. Fun with the Silo, second paragraph of this article, the rich are revolting! (Like, in a revolutionary sense, not, God, do the rich suck. They're actually pretty cool in this one instance.)

Basically only because I like the phrase "Last night, a DJ saved my life."

You're Army. STFU.

Pour a 40 for Jay Bennett. I never had any of his solo stuff, but I'm pretty sure Wilco's second half would never have happened without him.

These are some awesome neon signs. We need more neon signs and less HD displays.

2.0 bought this new workout game for the Wii last week, EA Fitness or somesuch, and I have to say, for half of the exercises involving a resistance band that offers as much resistance as the 2007 Irish o-line (hey-ooooo!) and the other half involving jumping around like an asshole, it really gets the sweat up. The in-game music is absolutely brutal, so I recommend having your iPod handy, and maybe getting a better resistance band, but my ass is hurting in places where I didn't know I had muscles. Jump lunges? What the hell?

I didn't want to post this yesterday, since I'd advertised that there would be no strip, and I like Memorial Day and want to make sure it gets its (belated) due here on Five Bucks. There was an awesome article in the Times about Donna Reed keeping letters from GIs in WWII that actually included a slide show of the letters. That's just cool. The first one in the slideshow was written by a dude who didn't make it to the end of the war. He was KIA in Italy in early '44.

Times Square - traffic free! Wow.
