They are usually just called Black Bottoms... my mom made them all the time when I was a kid. They are delicious!

I just realized that the Space Quest Sierra games that I played when I was younger were ... ahem... inspired by the H2G2 series. There is one in which you steal a time machine and fly around to different times. I seem to remember another one with lots of bureaucrats, but I can't remember the storyline.

For some reason this reminds me of the current commercial for the tax preparers where the wife asks the husband to ask the box for advice. I always think "Man, she's being a (not nice person)...".

Yeah, I was just listening to Regina Spektor right before hearing this song - they are very similar and you'd probably like her too.

Good band!

Anybody else notice that if you tell the site that you're in the US, you get an $11.99 album price, but that if you tell the site you are in Europe, you get an 11.99 euros album price? I haven't actually tried to buy anything, but that seems like a pretty unfair price difference for Euro-based countries.

Does this thing use batteries or does it always need to be plugged in to the wall? I can't quite tell.
