Fish Fingers and Custard

While we are enjoying a leisurely breakfast (toast and sharp cheddar omelets), and TEA is still waking up, I am taking the time before we begin our day to introduce him to the most wonderful of television experiences...




Yes, I am starting him off with the 11th Doctor so that he can start watching when the show returns in the fall.

Yes, TEA is watching Doctor Who.

His first comment was, "He is kind of crazy, isn't he?"

I do so hope that he enjoys it as much as I do. More to the point, I hope that doing this to him at such a young age is not going to influence him the way that I was influenced when my uncle introduced me to Tom Baker's Doctor when I was eight.

Why do I love this song?

And why do I know it?

I saw a commercial for the album during The Daily Show or a rerun of The Big Bang Theory (after the Mets disappointing loss) and I was able to recognize that I had heard the song but no clue where it was from.

Then I watched the video, which is interesting, but...still very odd.

So, folks, what is this song used for?

You cannot defend your liberalism whilst shopping at Target

See, the problem is that too many people who are happy to whine about rights like this, and the whole reproductive issue, are happy to go to Target because Target makes them feel good.  It has been years since I have purchased anything there, but there are people in my life who are "so liberal" that make it a weekly shopping excursion.  

"Clearly, Target is failing with its have-it-both-ways approach. The novelty products it is attempting to hold up as tokens of support are nice gestures, I guess, but the financial contributions Target is making to groups and candidates fighting hard (and winning) against same-sex marriage and discrimination laws can't be canceled out by a rainbow on a T-shirt."

I like one song a lot more than the other, and you can guess which is which, and I thought the video was odd until it came completely together at the end.

I am often confused by people on the street with Moby. I have used this to my advantage though. You see, that was me dating Natalie Portman.




Anyway, yes, we all look alike. I get it.
