“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
I’ve been doing puns for a while now and it seems that a lot of other people like them too. I just can’t figure out the reason. I mean the jokes themselves are, to say the least, sometimes contrived and quite bad. Yet people groan, grimace and laugh and come back for more – me included, I’m just not sure why.
If you think you have the answer do let me know.
Meantime enjoy this week’s selection.

Again….groan… 😀
Loved the Monkees song though!
I’m glad you are a believer!
LOL!!!
I didn’t exactly say that. 😀
That’s OK Alex because here’s a chance to get out of town.
I have three questions, guys.
1- Is there Shiner in Clarksville?
2 – Does the short guy ever do more than just stand there shaking things and looking adorable?
3- Will Daydream Believer be posted thus allowing a full-fledged Monkees hi-jacking of FASAB’s comment section?
Just in case Clarksville is dry, take your own.
Aaaaarrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhh! The Myans were right!
LOL!!!
If so…it’s one of the few things they were right about 😉
Many groans … is there hope for the well running dry? Oh —- but I did laugh at the nudist colony one.
I’m you saw the point of that one at least 😉
This has gotten completely out of control, and it’s ALL Frank’s fault!
It’s good that these guys were always serious.
Then again, it’s important to always listen.
Frank, you’re going completely ape :()
Not yet
LOLOLOL
I guess there’s only one thing left to say
And just wait until Erickson sees all this!
Well, I WAS gonna make a bunch of Monkees jokes, but just like a skinned banana, they have no appeal. I did try to start a Monkees fan club one time, but I blew it.
Oh, and for Alex – the little guy does more than just stand there and look cute. He also builds school storage. Surely you’ve heard of Davy Jones’ lockers! 😯
Not sure if I should admit this or not, but I actually know of the song “Guitarzan”. Among many others. I always loved weird songs like that, including Spike Jones. Boy, I better get out my good suit, I’m dating myself! 😀
🙂 Do you know the ebay song too?
I am TERRIFIED to even ask this, but … eBay song?
It’s great!!!!!!!!
Enjoy!
Is that an original song, or did he poach something? I do love some of those background shots – I’ve been in a LOT of antique/miscellany/permanent garage sale stores that look like that 3-high of “tchotskis”! And I WANT that Farrah poster! WOW! 😀
And yes, I used to hang out quite a bit on eBay, and was quite the sniper. Weirdest thing? Hmm – probably the WW2 British Airborne radio, with both the antenna and handset cords chopped off. (I had plans for it – but then real life intervened.) Or maybe the WW2 era test kit to check that your field phones and switchboards work. That thing weighs a good 80 pounds! Ya know, my local UPS guy quit right after he delivered that. Wonder if he had to take time off for hernia surgery….. 😉
I think he just added his lyrics to an existing tune – but what it is I don.t know. His thing is parodies of known songs.

Oh trust me, I’ve followed Weird Al for years – just not lately, due to monetary reasons. I’ll dig a little – if I feel like it tomorrow. Gotta get a post ready, just in case the Mayans prove to be wrong! The Mayans WRONG? NAW!!! 😀 )
YOU make puns popular!
Awe no, I git the blame fer everything round here 😦
I just knew somebody would come up with Daydream Believer and beat me to it. Love that Davey Jones dance.
Yes, we had a lot of Monkee business today, good songs though.
You know of course I sang the last line of the Monkees pun – my first favorite band!
There was a lot of love for the Monkees. Not bad for a band that was only put together for the tv program.
Here’s another one
or here’s the whole lot
