Owl in a Box
Exactly what it sounds like. (Via Mimi Smartypants' new website.)
I would much rather have an eblo about owls than about politicians, but owls don't have nuclear weapons. (If I'm wrong about this, please tell me and I'll switch subjects immediately.)

Wow, two music posts within 15 mins! How did we pull that off? The birthday paradox without the birthday! Only at ATR.
That's pretty, and she's pretty too. Much better than nukes.
