In no world would I ever claim to be as talented as Elton John, but watching him make a song out of some guy’s oven manual reminded me of singing the words out of one of Carin’s university textbooks while one of our friends played along on his guitar. Fun times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oio83_iHIwg

I Demand A Vaccination! One To Protect Us From People Like Kenneth Copeland!
If you need more Kenneth Copeland screaming at COVID set to music in your life, here he is as a short piano tune. Works pretty well.
Alexa, Send The Time Machine To 1988
Wow, 80s Alexa has come along way since the last time we checked in on her. This Amazon thing might make a few bucks one day. I feel like I’ve said this before with these videos, but that electronic voice is hideous. Yes, I’m aware that this is intentional. It just sticks out to me …
Bullet With Butterfly Wings Remixed Into Something Straight Out Of The 1980s
It doesn’t take much to make me laugh. Sometimes all you’ve got to do is replace all of the regular music from “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” with some ridiculous 80s sounding thing and you’re all done. I didn’t even need the visuals, which sound like they’re rather fun. The Muppet-like animals playing along, the animated …

All My Favorite Songs
Just heard this song for the first time and I can already tell it’s going to be stuck in my head for like a month, so figured I might as well put you all in the same boat. It’s a very simple song, but I like those. And the lyrics sound a bit like me …

Old Person Does Sad, Old Person Thing
Fully immunized woman dies from COVID-19 in Kitchener long-term care home This headline, as well as some of the handling of the story itself, are kind of garbage. I’ll explain why in a second, but before I say anything else I want to make it clear that every COVID linked death matters and I’m in …
Mix And Mash
I vote that we change mix and match to this when it comes to the practice of doling out the AstraZeneca Moderna/Pfizer combo for COVID vaccines, because holy hell was I ever flattened by mine. I very much wanted my buddy to be right, but the victory goes handily to the nurse, I’m afraid. Before …
I Am Fully Vaccinated For Some Reason
I’m extremely happy to have it done, but I’m also equally confused and annoyed that it happened. I have no idea how it is that I, a fella, have both of my doses while Carin, who not only got her first one nearly a month ahead of me but who more importantly did so because …
Good Morning, Class. Welcome To Today’s Lesson, Entitled Please Don’t Murder The Vulnerable
Unvaccinated Ontario long-term care workers will have to participate in educational program I have mixed feelings about this. Surely it’s going to convince some of the people on the fence to climb over to the right side of it, but there’s just as much chance of it being resented by those whose minds are already …
