After his breakthrough "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off", it's been a hard slog for "3-note Joe". The competition for the next Chevy truck commercial is always fierce.
I just now learned something valuable to all humanity.
These dialogue boxes are unbearable. They drive me right smack to the edge. I haven't the patience anymore.
On YouTube, you can scour the front page at the bottom for something that looks like "try something new!" click on it for a page that offers HTML 5, and accept it, if you haven't already.
Now the "settings" button on each YouTube video that looks like a gear presents more options. One is "turn annotations on/off" select off to rid the videos of annoying dialog boxes that uploaders find so cotton-pickin' irresistible, overlaying the content they're presenting with useless annoying distracting obstructing wurdz, absolutely destroying the thing they're presenting, massaging their own egos in some bizarre way that "about" for some reason fails to do.
The enhanced settings options also allow you to speed the video to twice the usual speed.
Now listen, because this is important!
By way of example, this Jerry Springer lookalike speaks unbearably slowly. It cannot be stood, even if what he is saying was interesting. His speaking can make any subject uninteresting. But by speeding to 2X he suddenly becomes a normal person and his dragged out speech becomes miraculously bearable, actually entertaining. Try it, you'll see.
Johh, this is such a beautiful song, I think. My daughter doesn't have a beautiful voice, but a true voice, and once every couple years I get her to sing this for me.

Lem's new banner quote does.
The joke is on me is there is one. fits with levity, leaving room for the impossible, the airbrushed and stories with legs.

Is it true that nobody is shorter than Cameron Diaz?

Thinking that perhaps I ought to make an effort to reconnect to popular culture, I've recently concluded that esquire.com makes me want to puke.

Deborah. Gotta separate the song from the .. ahem .. singer.
There's a website with tips on how to be a successful in the CW business: the first tip is to practice while holding your nose. Honest.
the little sunbonnet girl
linda parker
born in kentucky 1912
but grew up in hamond
indiana
she got expelled from
hammond high
an incorrigibl youth
for being a singer
on radio station wwae
in little saloons an nightclubs
downtown on state street
weekends were jammed
she was discovrd
by wls radio
and toured th usa
with th nationl barn dance
they had her wear
a sunbonnet on stage
strings hanging down
an a little gingham dress
in pictures she held
a banjo
but couldnt realy play
an she wasnt a real hillbilly
but sang soft and sweet
lush melodic old timey
like home
in august 1935
in elkhart indiana
her belly hurt so bad
but she sang and sang
two days later went
to the hospital and died
burst appendix
they said her last song
on the radio was
bury me beneath th willow
maybe jus to sell records
the rest of th troupe
went their separate ways
her real name was genevieve
Maybe it was just to sell records, but burial neath a willow has its plus side for forgotten girls and dogs--at least something weeps.
As for the quote that started the thread, it needed to be honored as this: The joke is on me if there is one.
While I can't tell who the joke was on, genevieve, linda or the listening audience, I'm glad the Concrete dog got it.
