...furious pounding of a Moroccan bendir drum. But call it world music at your peril; Mighty Rearranger is a million miles away from Paul Simon's reverential take on African sounds. "The whole coffee-table aspect of listening to world music is bulls__t," the singer says with a laugh. "We've created a new hybrid, where instead of visiting the music with respect, we steal it and hit it with big hammers until it's a new mélange of rock and world rhythm." Plant doesn't just want to smash the boundaries of musical genre; he also...
...guys lines a single to left, starting a potential rally, but I am too consumed in my musings to react. I picture Toronto manager Cito Gaston celebrating the title, and my quest back in time continues. I laugh out loud as I recall the 1993 All-Star game at Camden Yards, when Gaston, the American League manager, warmed up beloved Oriole Mike Mussina in the bullpen but then neglected to use him in the game. The next day, Baltimore fans were seen wearing tee-shirts that said “Cito Sucks,” clearly a precursor to more...
...easy for Katsuhiko Machida, the president of Sharp Corp., to look back and laugh now, given that he's running Japan's hottest electronics company.

The appearance of a refugee from “The Oresteia” at the end is a delightful non-sequitur that gets laughs for its sheer randomness, as does the argument that breaks out over who is the main character. In fact, Wan portrays Wanda with a similar flair, acting in an affected way that bears very little relation to any sort of reality, but is over-the-top enough to steal any scene she?...
...that as a house we are “dirty, dirty, people who refuse to shower and are looking to spread [our] rashes among the Harvard student body.” Clearly, the writers of this editorial decided to Dial® up their rhetoric to Gain® a laugh at our expense. To this attempt at humor, we make no objections—Mather wholeheartedly supports humor in all of its guises and certainly expects it from magazines such as the Lampoon, Swift, and Satire V. We gladly add The Crimson to this list, as we especially Cheer-ed?...
