Celebrity Barrels!

Andy Samberg prominently uses the tc-54 (or American equivalent) in a digital short. The barrel gets its 15 minutes!

A Barrel-Less Society!

And I'm not just talking about the post-less 2006!

Imagine a land without barrels... and no hard hats and safety boots either!

Its true! Serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, to balance the distribution of barrels throughout the world, I resolve to post more TC-54s on this site in 2007.... STAY TUNED!

Bronte Barrels!

BRONTE! Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The English Barrel

Now, I ain't no English major, so if I mis-used the term "metaphor" in my blog-description, Morisette style, let me know! Okay, I didn't use "like" or "as" so its not a simile... is it an analogy??? A personification perhaps?? This is supposedly simple Grade 8 English people!!! It's been awhile...

I'll just go back to crunching numbers and preparing technical memoranda.
