Krazy Karaoke - Noe

One of the podcasts I listen to is Pottercast, which is all about the latest happenings in the Harry Potter world. John Noe is one of the hosts of this show, and he is a really funny guy. This song is about some of the many things that have been brought up by or attributed to him during the many Pottercasts I have listened to. Alas, if you don't listen to this show the song probably won't mean much to you. But if you do, enjoy!

Sung to the tune of "Lola" by The Kinks. Those who are really brave of heart can listen to me sing it by clicking the play button below.

I put in my buds and turn my player on,
'Cause it's Potter time and I've got hear John Noe.
J-o-h-n Noe

He's got lots of theories and jokes to tell,
Makes Melissa groan and Sue laugh as well.
John Noe, J-o-h-n Noe
No-No-No-No Noe

Now he's got the inside scoop with Jo,
They speak every week on the telephone
Oh, John Noe
No-No-No-No Noe

Horcrux times seven equals Horcri
Its just too bad that Jo disagrees
with Noe
John-John-John-John Noe
No-No-No-No Noe

Well he can play DDR all night,
In a Slytherin robe he looks alright.
Now it really doesn't matter which one it is,
It will be the best PotterCast he ever did.

Now he's my favorite burrito boy
'Cause I learned about Chitople joy
from John Noe
John-John-John-John Noe
No-No-No-No Noe
Noe, J-o-h-n Noe
No-No-No-No Noe

I can't wait a day
For the next Pottercast
But when it appears
I know it won't last
Then I will have to wait again

Melissa thinks his theories are all duds
But we all know the truth of Mr. Blood
by John Noe
No-No-No-No Noe

It may not make the book; we'll have to see,
but I bet we'll see it in the next movie
with John Noe
No-No-No-No Noe

Well, Dawlish is his favorite Ministry man,
He'll be a big part of the final plan.
It won't be Harry that saves the day,
But only Dawlish and Luna I say!

Well, I'm not the type just to wait and see
But I know I'll listen in another week for John Noe
No-No-No-No Noe
No-No-No-No Noe

Krazy Karaoke - Mr Lisp Man

I recently acquired a plastic mouth-guard that I wear at night so I won't grind my teeth in my sleep. When I have this on I have an instant lisp, and my daughter has taken to calling me Mr. Lisp Man. One day when she called me that it popped into my head sung to tune of Mr. Sandman.

Those with a strong constitution can hear me singing it, with my mouth-guard in place, by clicking on the play button below.

Mr. Lisp Man,
You thound kinda odd.
Have you been talking like that all along?
Do you have marbleth thtuck in your mouth?
Maybe you should thee a dentitht now?

Lisp Man,
How can it be?
That you can lisp so eloquently
Oh, why do you talk thith way?
Mr. Lisp Man what did you thay?

Mr. Lisp Man, (Yeth?)
Thing us a thong.
We'll thit and lithten the whole day long.
Tell uth about your trip to the theathide,
how you got theathells and a thhark bite bethides.

Lisp Man,
Thit for a thpell.
Let'th hear a thtory; that would be thwell.
Did you alwayth talk thith way?
Mr. Lisp Man what did you thay?

Lisp Man
eathy to thee,
You've got a problem with Ss and Cs.
But you still keep uth from catchin' Zs,
As we figure out what you mean.

Lisp Man,
Thoon you'll be gone.
Back in the drawer after dawn.
Then we'll wait for night to come.
And Lisp Man will be our thong.

Rambling Rant: And the e-mail says...

The stupid things that get passed around via e-mail constantly amaze me. Unnecessary warnings, faulty medical advice, and useless petitions are constantly being passed hither and yon via the medium of e-mail.

I would like the recipients of any of these e-mails to say to themselves, "Do I believe this?" If not, don't send it to twenty other people in a fit of Pavlovian obedience just because it says to at the bottom.

Whenever someone sends me an e-mail I make the assumption that this person believes what they are sending me is true. And if the claims of the e-mail are either too fantastic to be true or have been proven false, then I figure the sender is an idiot.

If the answer to the "Do I believe this?" question is undecided, then do some research. There are several urban legend sites available for checking the most common of this e-mail clutter. I tend to use www.snopes.com, but any will do. If you have any doubt about the claims any e-mail makes, check it out. It usually take me only a minute or two to determine that the Microsoft corporation is not going to pay me $5000 if I forward the e-mail to thirty friends.

If a friend met you on the street and said "I just heard from a guy at work that I can live longer if I stand on each foot for an hour a day", you would say that person is nuts. But if it comes to e-mail, most people send it on because you never know...

Well, I know. And it has to stop. Use your brain, use the web, and stop filling people's minds and e-mail boxes full of information that they do not need or want.

End of rant.
