Fussing and Fighting, My Friend

If you're friends with a couple and they get into a fight when you're around, I think it's the same feeling as when you were a kid and you'd be at a friend's house when their parents yelled at them.

Irish People Eat

I have gone down a youtube hole and have not yet reached the bottom. I'm leaving this hear as a witness. If I never come out, tell the world my story.

The particular hole I've gone down is the "Facts." channel which is a series of "Irish People Eat ___" videos. It's somewhat cheap, it's pretty clickbaity, but I don't care because I enjoy it so much. Why do I enjoy it so much? I think I know but it's a long story...





Editor's Note: Philly Cheesesteak is the clear winner.



It's not all fun and games though. Certain videos like this one, you get the sense that the videos are more misinformation than education. I've been eating salt water taffy for all my life and have never even HEARD of Maple flavor. Perhaps it's a logistics problem where they can only get what they can get. The soda one is similarly frustrating. Again, maybe it's a problem of selection.

So what happens when I run out of videos? I already have a backup plan lined up...

Conan - Dudez-A-Plenti

An amazing classic, perhaps my favorite thing Conan's ever done.... Conan forms his own late 90s boy band a la "Making the Band", Dudez A-Plenti.

There's a version on youtube that's excellent quality but it's a cut up/edited version which - in my opinion - is like taking a hacksaw to the Mona Lisa.

This is the full version on vimeo. The quality is real rough but it's the original.



And of course there's the followup piece where they make their first music video. Such an underrated, under-known classic:

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

Things are slow on the comedy front. Thought I'd post a song.

The internet has solved so many problems in life but once in a while you'll run into a question that can't be searched - an ungoogleable problem. I ran into one recently. I had a song in my head, I knew it was from the 80s, I knew the melody and one of the synth sounds but I didn't know the artist, the title, a single lyric or what it was about.

After much searching, I've found it. It's "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson. It's great.
