Me And My Quirky Quarks.

I just finished disc 1 of BSG 2.0.

It should be obvious by now that I'm loving this show. In some ways I'm glad I waited to watch it though. I can sit down and watch it fresh several episodes/seasons in a row.

This evening, I think my BSG viewing will be curtailed. Lost is back on tonight! :-D

What?!?!? People didn't like Aretha Franklin's hat at the Inauguration?

I liked it. I think Aretha is one of the only people who could make the hat work, but she did.

This article is full of lol! The gist...

Scottish Catholics decide that Hokey Pokey is an ancient song writen to mock the movement of catholic priests and that Protestant soccer fans will use the song to mock Catholic soccer fans. Politicans and religous groups get involved over this insidious song.

Finally someone does some research. The song was written by the author of Teddy Bears Picnic in 1943. He was in England and wrote it about how his fellow Canadians danced in a night club.

The further LOL is that the music was based on a a Canadian miners song called Cokey Cokey, about using cocaine.

Reminds me of the La Cucaracha, which I grew up hearing all the time on Looney Tunes, was actually a song sung in the Mexican Army about refusing you march if they didn't have their marijuana.

Gotta love good wholesome songs for kids. ;)

So... Who would win in a fight?
