WWJD

14 Dec

I know it’s a little old now, but it cracked me up when I first read it in Harper’s. I tracked it down on the web here, and I excerpt the beginning below: You’ve all seen the “W.W.J.D.” bracelets and T-shirts that remind teens and adults alike about a good rule of thumb for living [...]

Here’s a little game where you view sixty album covers with names and titles removed, and you have to guess the artist and album. It’s actually really tough.

Yet another reason
