Don't Forget Me If I Go
Congratulations to Mrs. Katrina Kincaid for correctly naming "Backwards Down the Number Line" by the one, the only, Phish as the Tuesday Song of the Day.
I realize that this blog offers only a limited platform to put forth my viewpoints and opinions on subjects far and wide, but hopefully those of you who read this will heed my words and pass them along to your loved ones.
For the love of all that is good and holy, please, please, please stop making the "Hitler goes off on (insert team here)" video with footage from the movie Downfall. You all know the clips I'm talking about here, don't you?
Of course it's funny, but it's much like constantly eating pecan pie. Sure, it's good for the first few days. Okay, okay. It's good for the first few weeks.....but after a while, the enjoyment begins to fade. After that 53rd slice of pecan pie, or after the video of Hitler, the curling fan, screaming about how Finland came in third in last year's Curling World Championships, you realize that you need something new.
So, for the sake of all mankind, please do what you can to give these videos a mercy killing. Friends don't let friends make Hitler videos.

- Hitler the Dallas fan goes off on the Cowboys after Romo (literally) throws away another game.
- Hitler, the Texas A&M grad. spews vitriol over the Aggies losing to Baylor at Kyle Field.
- Hitler, the USC season-ticket holder, chastises his fellow Trojan backers for calling for the ouster of Pete Carroll after losing to U-Dub last Saturday.

Yeah, I liked those for a little while, until I saw one last year about 'Dolf being pissed that UT got left out of the Big XII championship game. Then it was like 'wait, so Hitler's supposed to be a Longhorn fan, and I'm supposed to think that's funny?' Nope, I'm out.

In Maryland, they pronounce it "pee-can." That's somehow not as appetizing as "p'cahn."
You're like an Oldies station: you go off the air for a few weeks, but you don't seem to lose any following. Well played, President Scott.
There wasn't *really* one with Hitler as a curling fan... was there?
Just checking.
Lance,
Your comment is pure gold if only because you refer to Hitler as 'Dolf. That surely would have broken the tension in the bunker as the Russians approached in '45.
Nina,
Congrats. Your recognition is forthcoming.
Masten,
That pronunciation of pecan is unsettling if only for how it looks when written. I wouldn't want to eat something that phonetically looked like "pee-can". Isn't that a toilet?
TCN,
No, the Hitler as a curling fan video is only a figment of my imagination. It could happen, though. Thanks for stopping by the blog, though.
