Instead of a most/least favorite song list, I asked people to tell me the worst song by their favorite band. The results were pretty good. I’ll post them in this thread, starting with Adam & the Ants “Ant Rap”.

We’ve got a new sign for the front window. Lots of signs out there that say “All are welcome here”, but let’s be honest, there are some who are not welcome. We are not interested in having a debate about semantics.

There’s a young raccoon on our back porch and I feel like it has an outdated raccoon guide book. “Sorry to bother you, but my book says there’s cat food here?” “Not anymore. That cat died around 10 years ago.” “Oh… I guess I’ll be going then.”

Listerine used to have an entire ad campaign that was just “Yeah it tastes like crap, burns your mouth a bit, and makes your eyes water… but it *works* so suck it up”.
