I love the language in some of the RV sales ads. Read this out loud, but put on your Tom Waits voice when you do it:

[Editor's note: If you want to check out the cool Tom Waits song that inspired this post, step right up and check it out here. I hope this works. I'm experimenting with a feature on Vox, a nifto site that, I think, will allow me to upload music to be shared by M&M readers. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks, Mark]

I don't know what the problem is but I didn't get anything. I got you your site Mark, but no music.

Mark said...

Hmm. Ok, thanks Freda, I'll see if I can figure out the problem. I may have some setting wrong.

Anyone else?

hey -- got the site and the tune! What's the story on vox and uploading music? all the rights stuff, etc?

P.S I like how RV Porn now has its own lable

Mark said...

Kay, not sure of the legal crossed T's and dotted I's, but I think they have some deal worked out that makes it ok because the music is streamed, not downloaded.

I discovered it through Undercover Black Man, one of my favorite blogs, which I'll post more about on another day.

Also Kay, you inspired me to make sauce tonight. I'm running out to the store right now and then I'm cooking up some Grandma Matassa special. Grazie.
