Just doo it.

Four-Hour-Marathon.  The dishwasher won’t flush or wipe, and Rory’s has all the details.  Thanks, Rory!  Rory turns off the EQ in his Winamp player 11 songs into the show, and dramatically improves the listening experience.  Thanks, Rory!  Rory enlists Scatman Crothers to sneak in the weekly N-word.  Thanks, Scatman!
