Today's illustrious band:

The Strepitant Mutes

Brought to you by A Word A Day, www.wordsmith.org, and the guy who kept me on the phone for 20 minutes this morning to impart 5 minutes' worth of information.

Strepitant: Noisy; boisterous. [From Latin strepitantem, present participle of strepitare, from strepere (to make a noise).]

Things are hoppin' here at Media Headquarters this Halloween, so I've got to get back to work. No costume for me today; couldn't think of anything.
