Ways to put off working Monday, suggestion 3
So we’re just going to come right out and say this: we like Weird Al.
You can judge us all you want, but the guy is funny smart. Corny? Yes. Over the top? Yes. But to those of us growing up in middle-class white-bread suburbia in the 80s (*cough*Redmond*cough*), the guy was like our Aristophanes.
We still remember sitting around listening to the VINYL version of “Weird Al In 3D” on our bedroom floor, while playing with our Masters of the Universe action figures. Weird Al was a staple of our budding comedy-foundation. Today, we proudly out ourselves as Weird Al fans.
Enjoy wasting time with this clever parody of Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues (complete with man and rabbi talking in the corner):

Weird Al was signing autograph’s at Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of animation. I had him sign my “Smells like Nirvana” CD. My friend Pat had him sign a picture of Pat’s fat cat. Weird Al commented that having him sign a picture of a cat “was really weird” which I suppose was meant to be a compliment.
It’s hard to bargle nawdle zouss.

I LOVE Smells like Nirvana. Polka Your Eyes Out. I still sing that in the shower.

You can do me in the morning.
You can do me in the night.
You can do me when you wanna do me
