- Clint Mansell – The Last Man – Sorrow can only describe this song. Too bad the film from whence it came was terrible.
- Daft Punk – Around the World / Hard Better Faster Stronger – This live remix recording is an instant party. Play. Dance.
- Adam Freeland – Mind Killer – “I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer.” – Frank Herbert’s Dune
- Depeche Mode – Enjoy the Silence – All I ever wanted was here in my arms, an awesome electric synth.
- Clint Mansell – Death is the Road to Awe – From sorrow to everlasting love, we come full circle. Too bad the film from whence it came was terrible.

Christmas Card Rejects
Spreading the Joy III: Joy Harder
The reviews from last year’s card, pictured above, made it clear that it was a mega-hit!
I didn’t think Ken was that silly. – Grandma
What is this crap? – L.K.
You never sent me a card. – J.C.
41 cents postage due. Why bother? – P.H.
The Ultra Limited Edition Ken and Kaela Kristmas Kard (of Epic Win) is coming soon. This year’s card promises to be even cheaper than last. Get your addresses in so we can fill your mailbox with more junk!
Leave addresses in the comments or send an email to kenfager/at/gmail.com In the subject field of your email type “HOLIDAY CARD” so I don’t miss anybody.
Random Confessional
Forgive me Flying Spaghetti Monster for I have sinned. Below is a list of things I may or may not have done.
- Sending paper plates as postcards through the mail.
- Recommending with a straight face “Plan B” to a friend in full knowledge that it isn’t meant to be taken by men.
- Calling the Stewart Hall call box demanding nachos.
- Filling out magazine subscription cards with the names of friends and loved ones.
- Sending credit card offers back filled with stale crackers and Skittles.
- Demanding a new bag of M&M’s because the last one was “full of 3’s and W’s instead of M’s.”
- Claiming that not taking insulin and having high blood sugars is a safe way to lose weight.
- Screaming in Taco Bell that the employee with the “G-Money” tattoo on his neck is “rollin’ in Hamiltons.”
- Asserting that German is “the true language of love.”
- Asserting shortly thereafter that the French language comes exclusively from “Canada – America’s Hat.”
I encourage you to share your confessions, real or fabricated, in fellowship with me. You may post under a pseudonym if you so desire.
A Time to Celebrate
Yesterday I asked my “better nine-tenths” if she would marry me.
Kaela said yes.
Now is a time to celebrate. The woman I love is going to marry me. I could not be any happier. This means that she will be promoted from girlfriend to fiance.
This also means I have a girfriend position available. Please submit your resume and interviews will commence shortly. (For legal reasons I must disclose that Kaela will be screening all applicants. I doubt she will find a qualified candidate.)
Congratulations and/or objections may be left by clicking on the “comments” link. Yay!
Remember, Remember
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
the gunpowder, treason, and plot,
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.

50 Down, 50 To Go
Since absolutely nothing else of significance is happing in America today, let us take a moment and congratulate my dad. Wayne Fager turns 50 years old on this fine day. Did you know that…:
- …the Roman numeral L stands for 50?
- …Paul Simon wrote a song with 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover?
- …Hawaii was the 50th US state?
- …1100102 is binary for 50?
- …the 50th element is tin?
- …50 is a Harshad number?
