A 7 second delay. Or a competent call screener.

Beat Your Ass Season Pass: Holiday Treat
By Adam F on Tuesday, December 5th, 2006
Attention anyone who pre-ordered "I Am Not…." and partook in our Beat Your Ass Season Pass pre-order scheme. As a holiday treat, we asked the band to record a live song during their recent tour of Europe so that we could make it available exclusively for the Season Pass holders (man, that's a run-on). And, like the dudes they are…they obliged. So, log in to the still running strong Season Pass web site, download and enjoy the liveness of Mr. Tough live from Brussels! PS: This ain't the last thing we're doing neither.
What’s In A Name?
By Gerard on Monday, December 4th, 2006
Throughly putting other desperate attempts at wacky band names to shame, Rockblogger extraordinaire Jim Hoffman of Vinyl Mine has a bunch of spam-inspired selections to choose from. One of 'em, Bulge, has most certainly been used before — a Pete Frame family tree would reveal connections to GG Allin, Boston's Psycho and 7-time Grammy Award winners Cancerous Growth (above). That's the thing about real life — it's still capable of being more fucked up than spam.
‘Tis The Season….

…to traumatize the innocent and generate web traffic for a coupon shopper local newspaper. Apologies to Terry Zwigoff.
Kenny gets grief
By Ruairi on Monday, December 4th, 2006
The Late Late Show is an Irish institution (like the Magdalene Asylums) which was presented first by Irish broadcasting legend and brave-name-haver Gay Byrne, then latterly by Pat Kenny, the presenter being harassed in this here clip. Of course, the Irish stereotype of the literate drunk irks me somewhat, but I can't help but applaud this heckler. He's hammered, and he still manages to articulate in a concise manner what most right-thinking Irishers think of Pat Kenny.
An Open Letter To Our Alien Overlords
By Gerard on Friday, December 1st, 2006
Dear Captors-to be,
Well, I guess it was just a matter of time. You've been monitoring our movements via the World Web Interweb and once you caught wind of the Hinder/Eddie Money hookup, there were no remaining questions about humanity's inability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, shit and shinola.
Though I wish it had never come to this, I pledge to do my very best in polishing your spacecraft, sweeping the streets and burying my fellow humans.
Your humble servant,
Gerard
