VeggieTales and 90s Rock Bands

I was listening to the radio last week and noticed that a song by Blind Melon was followed by a Smashing Pumpkins tune.  Initially I wondered if the DJ was Larry the Cucumber. Then, after doing a quick mental inventory, I realized that there were a lot of 90s bands that seemed to be inspired by vegetation.  For example:

Gin Blossoms
Cranberries
Savage Garden
Fiona Apple
Guns N Roses
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Soundgarden
The Black Eyed Peas


OK, who can add to the list?  And no, Peaches and Herb is not a 90s band.

Stuff My Son Says - #2

It's wicked cold here in South Dakota (8 below zero as I write this - that's minus 22 Celsius for any Canadians in the crowd).  So last night while tucking Cameron in, I prayed that God would protect people that are outside in the cold.  Cameron felt compelled to be a little more specific.

Me: God, please protect anyone who is outside right now.

Cam: Yeah, like hobos warming their hands over a fire in a garbage can...
