JUST TESTING IMEEM: DAYTON FUNK ASIDE

I think I'd post to this blog more if embedding MP3s weren't virtually a thing of the past. Maybe iMeem could change that. For instance, if I wanted to share the results of a playlist I created from Dayton funk bands and needed to share, say, the awesome Lakeside track "Fantastic Voyage," which later provided the foundation for a Coolio hit, would that work? Let's see:

Fantastic Voyage (2006 Digital Remaster) - Lakeside

Hmm... Apparently yes.

NEWS FROM HOME

I like to check in on my hometown paper The Dayton Daily News from time to time. But I rarely find anything as amusing/disgusting as this headline:

"Bath In Sink Costs Xenia Burger King Employee His Job"

But wait, how did they know? Was their proof? Oh yes. He posted this video to his MySpace page:

"It's my birthday, and I'm taking a bath," he says. But the best line comes from the videographer, trying to coax an older, less easily amused co-worker to come look: "You can't see his penis or nothin'."

Or maybe the best quote belongs to the health commissioner who spoke to the paper. "They had already discarded about $10,000 worth of equipment and completely sterilized the sink twice," he said. "We just hope no one else follows through with (a behavior) similarly bizarre."

ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES: MIAMI VALLEY STYLE
"Maybe even a sandwich platter"

This is primarily going to be of interest to my fellow Daytonians. It's a tour of the Dayton Swim Club, a North Dixie Dr. institution that I've driven past many times without realizing that, well, it wasn't a swim club. Let's take a tour!

I think I'd love this clip anyway. The host is just so dang jovial as he shows off all the low-budget benefits of joining the Swim Club. Soda machines! A video game! A mechanical horse with a vibrator glued onto it! Amazing.
