"Use All The Crayons!" ... New Stuff
The people have spoken and they’re declaring the “Use All The Crayons!” podcast is a hit. Wouldn’t it be a welcome revelation if the perfect format for my stuff fially came along. I’m indebted to my friends at Headspace Media in Latrobe for tech support and the cogent advice that I think is making each episode better than the previous. Please do check it out and share with friends.
And, as always, I could use your support. As every little bit helps, you can only imagine how grateful we are for big bits. So thanks to these supporters ToddEd, HowardWo, GlennHa, CherylWo, Bill/Ardi, MattStr, KirkBa, PeteGe, and all-time top donor MichaelBu
I can’t recommend this any higher. It’s the 14th annual Sgt. Peppercorn’s Marathon. I attended last year and was blown away by what to me is the greatest live music event I’ve ever attended. Beginning at 11 am on Saturday, a talented and maniacal group of Columbus musicians play in order every Beatles sing ever recorded (and dozens from Beatles solo stuff). It lasts 13 hours and is just exhilarating. Anything this fun has to involve Quinn Fallon and of course it does. Live stream it here for a requested donation of $25
Happy New Year!
Today’s theme is … New Stuff
• How about this for a new rule? The only time you're allowed to show me pictures on your phone is when the pictures are of me and were taken in 1987 when for one week I looked sort of like this … (imagine a picture of Fabio)
• Watching far right conservatives argue with far left liberals about the direction of the country is like watching the Old Testament argue with the New Testament about the direction of the Bible.
• Amazing new shampoo promises to re-grow hair on bald heads. What happens when you pour some on your palms?
• I think solar plexus is some exciting new kind of renewable energy, but something in my gut tells me I'm wrong.
• Although it's bound to upset traditionalists, isn't it time we start referring to the 2K-old "New Testament" as the "Not-So-New Testament?”
• New prisons are the only structures that require occupants break in before they can break out.
• Because I can never remember which is which, I propose we rename Vermont “6” and New Hampshire “9.”
• I’m in a crusade to get national OBGYN organizations to start calling postpartum depression by a fun new name: "Stork Raving Mad!”
Randoms …
• It says a lot about our cultural confusions that caffeine free is as popular an option as free caffeine.
• When I hear someone described as being "as honest as the day is long," I wonder if compliment holds the same currency above Arctic Circle.
• When people ask why I consider myself visionary, I say I can envision a day when all our nipples are rectangular.
• Any boss who, frankly, doesn’t give a damn why today you’re late for work is a Clock Gable.
• It just dawned on me: there'll probably never be another picture of me taken without my shirt on. You're welcome.
