I was sad to hear a couple of months ago that Alan Kalter, David Letterman’s announcer for most of his CBS run, had died. I always enjoyed him, as I do a lot of classic announcers. Sadly you don’t hear many voices like those anymore. Digging through some old things just now that I hadn’t …

The Gunfighter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXfltmzRG-g Now I kind of wish every western was like this. In the tradition of classic westerns, a narrator sets up the story of a lone gunslinger who walks into a saloon. However, the people in this saloon can hear the narrator and the narrator may just be a little bit bloodthirsty.
Aaa! It Went To Zero! Yow!
I know this is old news, but the video makes me giggle every time, so I’m putting it up. So there was this whole Squid Game crypto scam where the value just went ker splatto in a matter of seconds. It was everywhere, and they were talking about how to spot the scam, whatever. I …
An Ode To The Poor Hamsters Of The World
We were listening to Dr. Demento, and a song came on that I can’t get out of my head. It’s so evil, but so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEr01yjmzfQ Those little kids shouldn’t be doing those horrible things with such glee! But it made me think about a hamster that we had when I was a kid. Seriously, …
Eat It, Boneless Chicken Wings
I’m glad there are still folks out there who are willing to stand up and take on the big issues. Seriously, what the hell is a boneless chicken wing anyway? It really is just a damn nugget, and most of the time it’s not even a very good one. Thank you for speaking out, Andrew …
Welcome To The 90s, And To Insta-Cart
I don’t know what my favourite part of this video is. The deconstruction of the name “Insta-Cart”, the realization of where babies come from, the delivery windows that sounded a lot like what happened when Carin and I tried to use modern Instacart for the first time last year, the terms and conditions, the fees, …
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 …
This Little Light Of Mine, I’m Gonna Know When It Shines
I just saw this video from someone who just came back from guide dog class at GDB. She’s showing off something new that they sell, called the Audio Beacon Safety Light. Its most important function is to light up at night so that you can be seen. But it has a very cool feature of …

I Totally Agree With This Guy
I’m a member at the Funny Music Project, and every month I get a newsletter full of album and video goodness. This gem was among all the new awesome (uh-oh, should I say awesome anymore?). I wished it had been around when I wrote about yeet because it could have fit perfectly. I think the …
Is It Really?
Mom told me about a video that she found ominous. It was called “The Great Realization”. Am I wrong in thinking of it as honest and maybe a little too optimistic? I hope that, once we get something resembling normal back, that we don’t just go back to the way we used to be. I …
