[Comment] Re: Unboundedly Long Songs

[Link fixed, by the way.]

The definition is weird. For instance the list has "Bingo" on it, as well as "Frog when A-Courtin." Not sure how either of those counts as unbounded.

However, I completely agree with "I'm Henry the Eighth I Am." That'll get stuck in your head for days.

Reminds me of a scene from Scrubs where they torture a urologist by making him listen to an acapella group sing "I want my baby back baby back baby back baby I want my baby back baby back baby back bay I want my…"

Urologist says, "When do they say Ribs?"

Dr. Cox, the guy doing the torturing, says "They never say ribs." And walks away.

You can't do an animal twice in Old MacDonald. Given the number of animals, you could go a long time, but there is certainly an upper bound.

So the show is coming up on March 19, so who do they have besides, Ian, Billy Ray, Heather Mills, Laia Ali? Seems like quite a few are missing. Time to wrap it up!

[BlogEntry] Buddhist Blogging

Welll, not really.  More like What a Buddhist monk taught me about blogging.  That's the title of a post by Darren over at ProBlogger.net on the subject of how to handle it when people are dumping hate and anger on your head.  Apparently this is something common in the blog world (he says he gets email about it every week).  I like the advice, it's worth checking out.  I'm tempted to include it here since there's one line that sums it up nicely, but that's not fair to steal his thunder.  Go read his post.

Something interesting to note about Darren's post is how the minute he says that he learned something from a Buddhist monk he feels obliged to say, "Not that I'm changing religions…"  Why does that make me think of the Seinfeld "Not that there's anything wrong with that episode?"  How come learning something from a Buddhist implies that you have to become a Buddhist?  Or that you have to make sure that people don't think that?

Hi Karen,

You might want to check out this page: http://www.nbc.com/Grease/vote/register.shtml

I believe that voting is only live through Sunday nights for a few hours after the show.

I want to vote for number 12 if its not to late to do so. Five of my friends would like to vote for her too.

Will our votes count?

[BlogEntry] Romney is officially in the race

So now it's "official", Mitt Romney is running for president. I think that Massachusetts feels about Romney the same way that New York feels about Giuliani (hint, it's not good).

Luckily, there's an easy way to make sure that Romney never gets anywhere with the Republican party. Every time he has a public appearance, somebody raise their hand and say, "Umm, yeah, weren't you governor in Massachusetts when they decided to legalize gay marriage?"

Done.

Well, now, wait – I called Springer "an underdog to cheer for". I think that also covers O'Hurley and Hamilton as well, although I agree that "elderly" is a more obvious way to put it :).

The actresses? eh. I don't know how you can categorize Monique Coleman, who is brand new to the scene and star of a very popular recent movie, with Tia Carrere, who I don't think I've seen since Wayne's World.

I see on the Wikipedia page, by the way, that they note the same thing I did, although they include a "model" category (for Rachel Hunter and Tia Carerre) and call the Jerry Springer category "debonair old men".
