An already built-in Bob name! Cool! If you'd like the same ceremony as I did for LisaBob to make it an official Bob name, let me know! I have my golden spatula at the ready! Heck, I'm even wearing spatula earrings right now. *it's true!*

My dear friend and fellow al-gal and WOWAY member kaffy just got back from Minnesota, where she not only visited the Twine Ball, but also the Spam Museum! Apparently, this Spam Museum opened in 2002. They have a video presentation during which Al's Spam song is played! I'll let kaffy tell you more. I sure hope she posts pics in the Big Photo topic. I'm just excited because I'm getting a postcard from the Twine Ball Museum! Yay!

hehe, so far, I did get a postcard from the Spam museum. Thanks, Kaffy! I'm assuming my Twineball postcard will come in the mail today. Yay!

I discovered some minor errors in the lyrics for Taco Grande over at alsongs, *this happened while playing Al lyric hangman* so I sent an email stating what they were. I got a response thanking me for the corrections. They haven't been made yet, but I'm assuming that will happen soon.

In case you're curious, in the first line, it says:

Yo quero chimichangas y chile colorado. The second word is misspelled. It should be quiero.

The other error is a few lines down. At alsongs, it reads:

las flautas y tamale siempre muy bueno

the fourth word should be plural: tamales.

Anyway, I thought it was nice to get a thank you.

*waves to Erin* Thanks, Erin!

Psst, Happy Steve: The same errors are on your site as well. I couldn't find a contact email.

Shouldn't "bueno" be plural also? I.e., "buenos?" Or is that Al's (or Cheech Marin's) mistake?

yes please

on another note, i got the WAY Anthology a while back and i was just reading the bio thing at the beginning, and near the end it says that BHD was Al's 10th studio album. But isn't it his 9th, followed by RWS and PH to make 11?

Yes, Bad Hair Day is album 9.

There's a secret ALbum we don't know about!

I just looked it up, and yes, it should have been buenos. Cheech didn't say that line, anyway. Al did. Besides, if Al had said buenos, it wouldn't sound as good later when he said y el chile relleno. Remember, Al said his Spanish wasn't very good. I'll cut him a break here.

Yeah, it's Me, Myself and I - Al's introspective album which had its demo tapes destroyed. Clearly, Al isn't ready to let go and still counts it as a released album.

Yeah, at the time BHD was being released, there was some slight miscounting or misclassification that allowed it to be promoted as Al's tenth album. I'm not quite sure which other project had been counted as being an "album" ("Peter and the Wolf" maybe?), but by the time the marketing machine had begun for RWS everything was corrected and seemingly only the normal full-length comedic studio albums were being counted.

So in the end, Al had two albums in a row being touted as his "tenth."
