You, like me, may never have realized how many voices on The Simpsons are done by two guys. Everyone knows Homer’s voice (done by Dan Castellaneta), but did you know he also does Grandpa Simpson, Crusty the Clown, Mayor Quimby and Groundskeeper Willy? Or that the Mr. Burns and Smithers are done by the same guy (Harry Shearer), amongst various others? Check out this clip from Conan O’Brien.

As you may know, I have another site called Beer League Hockey that I run with my “purse friend”, Glen. (I can explain his name another time… ;-)) Anyhow, he’s going out of town, to Bulgaria, in fact, so he enlisted his six year-old daughter to write an article for the site in his absence. She wrote a story called The Beer That Played Hockey.

Check out this video of the Umbilical Brothers, a pair of performers from Australia. The video clip has two acts, the first one performed on Jay Leno, and the second on David Letterman. Both are very different, and quite amazing.

I believe Tom Bihn is an American label for laptop and carry-all bags.
