Heavy Metal Sunday needs to get this up before Sunset.

Tonight marks Yom Kippur, the climax of the High Holy Days. Not being religious, I enjoy learning about religions and I like the idea of a day set aside for forgiving others so that your God can forgive you. Puts the burden where it is supposed to be, in my opinion, on the worshiper.

But anyway, to mark the Day of Atonement, we present Disgorge, a happy little Death Metal band from San Diego, Ca. Active since 1992, the band has survived multiple line-up changes, the death of bassist Ben Marlin in 2008, and changing tastes in metal.

So enjoy Atonement of their 1998 debut album, Cranial Impalement. (I could not make these names up if I tried.)

Next week, we mark the passing of Monty Python's best actor with his last gig.. in a most unusual place. Up the Irons!

Uncle Douglas is a dork.

We went to see Kylie play soccer yesterday, and I never remembered to take out my camera. Watching four year olds play soccer is cute. Or it would have been except for the fact that the team we were facing in this "just for fun, no score kept, let's introduce the concept of team sports" league were all bigger than our team, and obviously had been practicing on the side. Some of the parents were openly wondering about the age of a couple of the opponents, as they towered over everyone else and were far more advanced in terms of coordination and skills. Had we been keeping score, the game would have been called for mercy early.

But I have to heap praise on Kylie. Time after time when the other kids would wilt, or refuse to take the field, she'd get up and go out again. She waqsn't the best player out there, but she got out there and did her best over and over again. That's what makes a winner, and we're all very proud of her.

GO SMASHING TIGERS!!!!!

It's still Sunday.

I half consider saving this for the Heavy Metal Turkey at Thanksgiving, but it's too funny to pass up. ( Cut to save friend's pages. )
