Classic Weird Al

Lyrics aren’t as sweet as Yoda, but for UHF fans, this is  a classic:

Speaking of Weird Al and Yoda, here is a live version. Where the F is he playing? Six Flags in Des Moines? sad.

3:30 to 4:45 is very strange, though i like the nod to Zappa (doing a nod to Jerry Lewis in the original) - if you don’t know the album Just Another Band From LA, you will have no idea what the heck that means, and you are probably a better person for it…disgustingly obscure. and I can’t believe this post has become this long, it was originally just a novelty post about Weird Al…

My Favorite Site of the Day

In case someone hasn’t emailed you the link already, I thoroughly enjoyed perusing “This is why you’re fat” … a site whose name and layout is self explanatory.
Some of my favorite bits from the site:
Domino’s 3 Cheese Mac n Cheese Bread Bowl

mmm.  Geez, that really does look like the picture Domino’s uses in its ads…

Doesn’t it???

k, but sadly, I’d probably still eat it.

…more:  In n’ Out french Fries, Animal Style:

and oh yes, Doughnut fries:

Who Says Martinez Isn’t Fun?

Ok, so in case you aren’t sure where Martinez, California is (odds are that most San Franciscans have heard of it but can’t tell you exactly in which direction it lies), it is located about an hour north-east of San Francisco

Anyhoo - here’s a nifty little account of a recent goings-on in that fair city to the east…doesn’t it sound awesome?  …er, at least exciting?  frog hunting? meth?  yikes!

"(05-28) 14:07 PDT MARTINEZ --
A Tracy man was convicted of voluntary manslaughter Wednesday for
fatally shooting his friend after a frog-hunting trip in Brentwood
during which both men were high on methamphetamine."

And what the heck is in the water in Tracy?  seems like a lot of wack-job news articles are coming out of that city…

For the lax fans out there…a good video compilation of one of the most amazing come from behind wins in the game’s history:

Oh Qrap! San Francisco Public Officials’ Salaries

…from 2007!

Wait, wait, wait.  Our fair city’s budget is deep in the red …to the point where they are putting parking meters all along Golden Gate Park.

I don’t know who you blame for the city’s budget crisis….maybe you blame the Board of Supervisors for being inept, or maybe you blame mayor Gavin Newsom for not being in town, and not paying attention to the city, while he spends so much time cavorting around the state country campaigning for Governorship and twittering or maybe you blame Muni for not, uh, well for being Muni.

hey, speaking of Muni, did you know that the head of Muni, in 2007 earned $325,452???

check it out: from the Business Insider, a partial list of what some of our budget-challenged city’s public officials made TWO years ago:

And by the way, what exactly is a “special nurse” and how do i become one of them?  for $350k a year, that must be a very special nurse.

The only one that sorta seems ok is Johnny Lo, who makes made $250k … but only because he has a sweet sounding title of BATTALION CHIEF of the the Fire Department.
