I usually try not to yuck other people’s yums but I’ll take this opportunity to rage against this horrible cloying faux-earnest song that is yet believed to be universally beloved.

If you try to play this shit at my funeral, I will haunt your ass.

Do not listen to this man. Take up the ukulele. It's fun and the community is nearly unrivaled in its earnest support of anyone who picks up four strings for fun.

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

Canned corn beef hash. Fry it up and pile it high on a buttered English muffin, and it is a god-tier breakfast item. Few agree with me on this. I was rereading Chandler's The Little Sister last night, and way back in 1949, Philip Marlowe was complaining that canned hash is disgusting.
