• Palin is bringing sexy back 13.09.08

  First, a word on extremism.
  John Cleese makes some very relevant points about extremism in the party political broadcast he did in 1987 for the SDP/Liberal Alliance (who got slaughtered in the election and went on to become the Liberal Democrats)

  As an extremist, “You can be as nasty as you like and yet feel your behavior [...]

• Don’t Let’s Start 11.09.08

  Can’t sleep. Somewhere nearby is a smoke detector that needs a new battery.
  This is unrelated but I thought I would share it anyway. As you know, I’m a big fan of TMBG so here’s a classic from They Might Be Giants (with lyrics to sing along with)

  Don’t, don’t, don’t let’s start

• In Search Of… 04.04.08

  This morning, the following quote was overheard. “oh, he’s here, but probably in search of a bagel”. Now that only sounds strange until you realize our office provides donuts and bagels on Fridays. Which will also start to include fruit and yogurt it seems, but that’s another story.
  So from that simple phrase, “in [...]

• Meg Ryan is hot? 12.03.08

  Email spam is fun. OK, maybe more die-a-thousand-deaths-you-spamming-pigs but it can be funny.
  I’ve never been much for porn. As a youth, I saw a few “art films” (wink wink) and even though I was understandably aroused, I never felt satisfied. As I got older, I began to see how degrading (to [...]

  Some of my other posts about Intelligent Design include Dilbert and Intelligent Design and this one where someone argues against a creator, Heartless Goo

• Wookin’ Pa Nub 05.02.08

  It’s Super Tuesday and it looks like the canidates are “Wookin’ Pa Nub” all over California. We vote by mail so it’s too late to woo our votes but I’ll be glad when it’s over. Even worse is the fact that my condo’s rec center is a polling location so I can expect [...]

• No song from American idol 23.01.08

  American Idol featured a song by one of my favorite artists. They Might Be Giants No! lyrics.

  No is no
  No is always no

• Nougatocity 15.11.07

  When I first saw this word on the wrapper of my Snickers bar I thought it said naughty, then I realized I was wrong and thought it said nougaty, which didn’t sound much better. In fact, it sounded something Tweeky would say - nougaty, nougaty.

  But upon further inspection I see that it actually says [...]

• TMBG - With the Dark 07.11.07

  More They Might Be Giants fun - With the Dark music video
  I’ve been a fan of these guys since I first heard them back in 1990 with the release of their album Flood. They’re not your typical rock band (as you can see) but I enjoy their quirky style of music, lyrics and antics. [...]

• Sharkwater 04.11.07

  I am officially jealous. There’s a new movie out that sounds awesome and I so wish it had been me who made this film. Of course, If I had made it, it wouldn’t be worth watching. So I guess the world makes sense again.

  Bob Newhart "Psychologist" MadTV | Funny Jokes at JibJab

  I don’t recommend the counseling method seen in the video - yet in some ways, that’s how we counsel others. Instead, we need to have a gospel-oriented approach.
  Recently, I finished reading How People Change by Timothy S. Lane and Paul D. Tripp. This book is [...]

• shark infested beaches 24.09.07

  Saw an ad online for a certain search engine that was titled “top 10 shark infested beaches” which got me to thinking…
  Beaches don’t typically have problems with sharks - it’s the waters that are infested. Then again…
  References to “land sharks” appear in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sailing chanties, referring to merchants who cheated sailors. Indeed, [...]

• Student tasered for being a menace to society 18.09.07

  As you can see from the above video, the student in question was beginning to harass Sen. Kerry. For whatever reason, the campus police decided to remove the student (heckler?) from the venue. Now we can debate the validity of this decision but at the moment the student began resisting, he became a [...]

  You can thank Honestyrain (and Imperfect Symmetry) for this one. Now if I can just find the lyrics, I can start practicing now.

• Shadow Government 15.09.07

  They Might Be Giants have never shied from unique visuals and concepts. Hell, they invented dial-a-song and took inspiration from Williamsburg when it was still dangerous. In that vein, the uncompromising John and John duo teamed with ColourMovie for their animated new video, ‘The Shadow Government,’ off their latest album, The Else - Spinner

• Miss Teen contestant meltsdown 29.08.07

  Now this may not be your cup of tea and quite frankly, I’ve been impressed by other musicians more, but I think what this young lady lacks in “exceptional” skill (and she does have skills) she more than makes up for in personality. She kind of reminds me of the pizza girl from October [...]
