American, idle

Things seen on the Chicago El, going to church yesterday morning no less: A sticker that said "Virgin: On Sale, $16.99". Presumably for Virgin Records, but everything's funnier out of context.

Monday means new theme!

Drumroll please...
Weird Al!

No, not the parodies, even though those are nice. This week, we're going to peer into the wonderful world of Weird Al interviewing celebs... sorta.

Like, Weird Al interviewing Madonna.


On to the news:

First it was Joe Camel...
(... Now it's Tom and Jerry)

Grandmother tells off Simon Cowell
(I love old people.)

Chicken is a bridesmaid
(Well, then again, we though about having my little brother's dog as our ring bearer...)

Maybe the steroids in baseball problem is worse than we had thought
(To put it in perspective, there are few Major League players who are that big.)


Bright, shiny objects:

I told you the motivational poster maker was dangerous
(Tip of the cap to friend Steve for the link)

Carefully, now
(I love Engrish.com!)


Fun Fact of the Day:

Los Angeles’ full name is “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula.”


And finally:

Well now, below, you will find my VMA preview... Try not to spend too much time there...
