Anna in Edina should get the "email of the day" award!
Thanks for playing Talking Heads! I just dumped most of a (large - like 27 oz large) container of yogurt on the carpeted floor in our office break room. Not how I wanted to start my day: cleaning up a big nasty mess from the carpet, and losing some really yummy yogurt to boot. Dang it. A little David Byrne and co. really helps turn the day around.
Thanks for the email, Anna!
Chris Fantz and Tina Weymouth were married on this day in 1977! Someone should tell The Heads about The Heads!!
