Take one of the more irritating things about modern Christmas, add in probably the best Marilyn Manson song, and somehow…this happens. Not sure how well it works as a song, but I laughed my ass off listening to it, so that’s good enough for me.

Help Earl And Kelly Harrison
I just saw this and wanted to link to it. I used to listen to Earl Harrison review technology on ACB Radio’s Main Menu years ago. I also ran into him at a GDB convention once. I was on a mailing list with his wife some time ago. Now I just read that he is …
The Dumbest Smart Laundry System Ever
Ten years ago, I wrote this frustrating rundown of trying to refill my laundry card. That was 10 years ago! And the sad thing is very little has changed. We have made some improvements, but the system still has some pretty big flaws in it, and the flaws are brain-snappingly stupid. Back in November, for …
Royalty-Free, I’ll Sing A Song, Rickety-Tickety-Tin
Back when I was at university, I discovered Tom Lehrer. I can’t remember if it was because of the song “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” or the Dectalk version, but I decided I was going to learn everything I could about him. I went down a great big Tom Lehrer rabbit hole. I bought albums. …

ECards Are Still A Thing!
I think with this story, I’m about to sound like someone who just crawled out from under a very large rock, or a person who acts older than their actual age. Oh well, here goes, in the hopes that it might help someone else. I have said before that I hate picking out greeting cards …

Welcome to our new lockdown, Ontario. Because of this occasion, I updated an old Christmas favourite with words for the present circumstances.

Take your Christmas online, there’s a million …

An Appropriate Song for This Christmas
I have mentioned Mom’s favourite Roger Whittaker Christmas album before in the context of making fun of the stupid song on it. But there’s another song that’s on that album that’s been going through my head ever since it became apparent that we were staying here for Christmas. Christmas is here again. Stand up and …
Your Pickle Is…Yodelling?
A couple of years ago, I bought Brad one of these Yodelling Pickles at the Christkindl market. I got it because I thought the idea was freaking hilarious and I hoped he’d get a kick out of it. I’m glad I didn’t buy it for the tradition of it because I would have been a …
It’s Christmas Time (Let’s Just Survive)
This came out last year before all of this shit started happening, but I have to say, “It’s Christmastime (Let’s Just Survive)” is right up there on the list of contenders for the 2020st song title award. It’s a pretty good and funny tune, too. But it does have me wondering. This year those of …
A Funny Christmas Songs Playlist? Yes Please!
Steve and I have wanted to subscribe to The Funny Music Project for years, and I finally did it. The first newsletter I received included a link to a funny Christmas songs Spotify playlist. Awesome! Some of these songs I recognize, and others I am very curious about. I was going to try and build …
