I'll have some serious respect for him when the Chipmunks cover the best
anti-drug song of all time, "Because I Got High" by Afroman. And it should
include the original lyrics too!

Blessed be,
Baha

OMG, and you're still sane? :P


Sez who? ;o)


Ooops, I'm sorry!

I want Hip Hop Chipmunks. I want to hear Alvin saying (squeaking?)
"Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care!"

Several years ago, Walgreen's was selling this horrible toy, a bear
(or *something*) that did the Macarena. And it sang that obnoxious
Macarena song really fast, in a high voice not unlike The Three
Chipmunks**. The store had put one of them out, right next to the
cash registers, and customers waiting in line could press a button
on it to start it up, which they did incessantly just during the
short time I was waiting in line. I swear, if I was working behind
the counter, I would have shot that thing!


This reminds me of a Christmas ornament that I once saw for sale. It
was an artificial wreath that would play Christmas carols whenever a
motion sensor detected someone walking by. Rather than simply having
a small speaker, as most such musical devices do, it had a set of
small tubular chimes, with a magnet that would ring each chime as its
note was needed.

Unfortunately, the designer had decided to economize on the number of
chimes, so it didn't have the full range of notes. If you think of a
piano keyboard, it had the white keys but not the black keys. As a
result, every melody it played contained sour notes. Plus, being on
display in a store, close to Christmas time, the motion sensor kept
it playing constantly.

I commented on it to the cashier as I was checking out. She rolled
her eyes, and said, "I'll be so glad when Christmas is over!"

Baha my dear, my karmic debt is so heavy that I can afford to indulge
myself from time to time without increasing it much in proportion.
You have snow already in Buffalo?? We're having a cold snap here in
LA too. We actually had to close the front door overnight to keep the
place from getting too chilly. We needed the air conditioner last
week though.
