    I just got the oddest CD box/jewel case ever.

    Just got Bjork's Volta and was immediately aware that the cardboard packaging is the weirdest effing thing I've ever seen. Lying flat, there are two flaps that fold inward to close the box, and then another flap the size of the case flips up to uncover the disc. Inside that flap is a nice insert that unfolds to show all the lyrics (always appreciated) and credits for each tune. While that may not seem too weird, the flops are 'sealed' shut by some sort of decal with Bjork's face on what appears to be some some kind of fruit that represents her body, with big purple feet on the bottom. You actually have to peel the seal away to open the box, and I envisioned it tearing into pieces, but it actually come off in one easy pull, almost like a Post It note, but it's shiny and colorful, and probably a bit stickier. This seal/decal can actually be used over and over as I tried it about a dozen times without fail, but if you don't use it the damn flaps don't stay up! What a bunch of crap! I promptly made a copy for my car and one for my wife, and don't plan on playing the original anytime soon. What a pain in the arse.

    I have one other that may rival it; Califone - It's a Wonderful Life. No seal though, so I guess Volta takes the coveted prize. Anybody else have one to match it???

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.
