Q: What should you do if you’re attacked by a gang of clowns?
A: Go for the juggler.
I attended a birthday party last night. A pretty nice time actually. The womenfolk (Filipinas) did their thing, including videoke. Us guys gave them space and drank our beers together off to the side.
I’ll cop to having the courage of a few beers under my belt and taking the microphone to inflict pain and suffering on the attendees via my rendition of the Bee Gees classic I Started A Joke. Fun times.
I walked home from the other side of town after the party and it was pretty dicey. No idea the back streets got so dark at night. I made it home safely, but next time I’ll trike it for sure.
Jessa is on her way over to spend the day with me today. We’ll see how that goes. I’ve felt myself pulling away from her lately, but I want to be sure it’s about a lack of compatibility rather than fear on my part.
Here’s some stuff I found funny:
Fun and games! Stay tuned.
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying
But I didn’t see that the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said
Till I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said
‘Till I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me
Trust me, the Bee Gees sounded better than I did last night.
No video of you and your singing? Well… maybe the world just isn’t ready for that yet.
I saw that Harry Potter meme a while back. Hilarious!
re: “I Started a Joke”
The song’s history is as sad as the song’s tone. See here.
From Wikipedia:
Barry laughed, “There was a lot of psychedelia [in the late 60s,] and the idea [was] that[,] if you wrote something, even if it sounded ridiculous, somebody would find the meaning for it, and that was the truth.” Robin Gibb told The Mail on Sunday on 1 November 2009 about “I Started a Joke”: “This is a very spiritual song. The listeners have to interpret it themselves[;] trying to explain it would detract from the song”.
re: grammar
In English, we have to, too, and two
How would you write – “There are three (to, too, two)’s in the English language.”
Kev, I think the video of my performance was blocked as offensive content. I’m not sure why that song became my go-to in the norebangs, I guess I just like trying to try and imitate that Gibb voice. It was touching to read that Robin’s son played that song for his father right after he died.
Brian, interesting question. Gave me a headache contemplating the answer. Best I’ve got is that there are 3 words that sound like 2 in English.
Why do clowns always vote for centrist parties?
They believe in big tent politics.
