Workin' on the Chain Gang...

Thought I'd post a new logo I just slapped together.

It's for the Food Services Team at the Weekend To End Breast Cancer.

This year they're calling themselves The Chain Gang.

Here it is on their aprons:

Here's another I did for them last year:

Lots of fun to work on and all for a good cause.

In keeping with the prison theme, check out this foot-stompin' slab of wax from Mr. Tom Waits. (Or "The Gravelly-Voiced Fucker" as my good friend Paully might say.)

Now some might be turned off by the production values on this number. And by "some" I mean the entire female spectrum of the species.

The instrumentation seems to consist mainly of pounding drums, a honking saxophone, handclaps, and some boozed-up lunatic banging on a steel pipe.

It's invigorating stuff, perfect with your early morning coffee or as a late-night pick-me-up.

Gets the old blood flowing! Crank it up and jump around the living room spilling beer on the priceless antiques!

But, production values aside, the real prize here is in the lyrics.

It's the story of a convict bragging about how he can bust out of any prison using nothing but a fishbone:

"Make one side dull, and then the other side sharp,

And on Saturday night I'll be in Central Park."

Followed by his gleeful announcement that:

"They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight."

Absolute genius from the fertile mind of Mr. Waits.
