The Llama has gills, and a beak, for heartlessly ratting out starving people to the authorities.

Kenji isn’t exactly a pro. I mean, I guess he is in the sense that he makes a living playing it, really he’s a professional streamer who plays magic at a high level, but (unless he qualified in the last year or so - i’ve been tuned out a bit), he hasn’t been on the pro tour.

A friend of mine (who went to an all-girls catholic elementary in LA) called it “Yellow Duck, Yellow Duck, White Duck”.

Hold that thought. I think knitting is stupid so I’m going to go to a knitting website and let all the people there know that. That certainly doesn’t seem like a total waste of my and their time at all. See ya.

Bummer. I was down in Mountain View and we had a great look.

I can help your mom with a late night filler...

By all reports they were going to cut him if he exercised his option.

If you’d like a similar experience in the US, check out the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo (CA coast roughly halfway between SF and LA): http://www.madonnainn.com/features.php

I’m meh on his music, but I like his willingness to parody himself.

My 5-year-old sold can recite a number of Epic Rap Battles of History from memory, because i am a terrible parent...

Yeah, my 5-year-old son uses eenie meanie miney moe quite a bit, and now knowing it’s origin I have to say it makes me slightly cringe, but it’s not like any of the kids at his school (and frankly 99% of the adults) have any idea about that.

Geez, and I’m hoping some serious retroactive side-eye at the teachers and parents who were teaching and listening to this without comment.

And as soon as you show me an incidence where an American songwriter took advantage of an oppressed and uneducated Scottish or German songwriter with little or no compensation, we can have that conversation.

What would be awesome is if they put a plaque there basically describing this, like pointing out explicitly how this statue shows how white people frequently profited from stealing music and were venerated for it. I mean, i don’t think that will ever happen (other than in a guerrilla sort of way), but it would be kind…

Eww. So does that mean you would lie awake at night and start to hear Michael Bolton blaring out of your parents bedroom and then years later you put that together.

Sure, but it is *gloriously* stupid.

I think it was called “The Bus that Couldn’t Slow Down”

If it was a 30 yarder, sure, but I had a college friend who was a very serious high school soccer player and had offers at smaller schools (and his sisters were in fact on the women’s national team) and he could barely hit a 40 yarder, maybe with weeks (or more) of prep he could get to 50, but I don’t think you can…

Feels like we should had “Kick a 50 yard field goal from a tee” to this list.
