My OCD

I love this piece by Rhett and Link.
It shows their skill in comedy sketches and the songs
that go with it, not bad at all.
Their chemistry is also a sight to behold.
Childhood friends from what I understand, and it shows.
The visuals in this one are to die for.
I wonder how long it took to arrange the bowl of alphabet
soup you see below…

Roman Numerals

The Frantics with a pretty funny look at change.
And I don’t mean the loose stuff in your pockets.
We have been teetering on the brink of finalizing
the Metric System in this country for years now.
We are the LAST industrialized nation to do so.
Not bragging, embarrassed is the mind set.
The weird thing is most of the professional folks
in America already use it…scientists, teachers,
engineers, and even drug dealers have been on
that ship for quite a long time.
It’s a political ploy, playing to the common folk.
What makes it even sillier is they claim that OUR
system needn’t be tied to another countries
standard “when ours will do just fine!”.
FYI, the 12″ measurement we call a foot is actually
taken from the actual length of the King of England’s
foot as measured way back when.
Nothing foreign needed, indeed…

Hate Crimes

Ahmed Ahmed was one of the first of the Axis of Evil
Comedy Tour comedians, coming out in the first wave
back in 2005.
They were offspring of parents that were born in the
middle east, some Palestinian others Arab, all as
funny as you can get.
Ahmed was my favorite, very good material and a
great stage presence sold me.
This is a good set…
