Happy Thanksgiving from Weird Al Yankovic!

I am blogging today from a computer in Rock Hill, SC, which might be the new home of the world's largest Wal-Mart............I'd rather watch the last few minutes of the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers football game!

Incidentally, Weird Al Yankovic has a new two-disc greatest hits cd out, and he recently performed on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

And, my friend Chris Knight who has a blog called "The Knight Shift" is claiming that he will deep-fry a kitten every time he hears a Christmas song before Thanksgiving...........does "Father Christmas" by The Kinks count?

"Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic.

We know the pictured food is some sort of fried fish. We don't recommend eating it if you just had triple-bypass heart surgery.

With this entry, our blogathon is now underway, though at the moment I really need to get some effing sleep.

Quote of the Week- Weird Al Yankovic

Since my brother-in-law Matthew Lovell from Boulder, Col., is flying in tonight, I thought I'd add a quote of the week from one of his favorite entertainers, Weird Al Yankovic, who was once known for parodying Michael Jackson hits.

"I'm still a geek on the inside, and that's what counts."

Matt is also found of "Star Trek," so we are featuring a quote from Leonard Nimoy on our sister blog "Politics, Culture and Other Wastes of Time." (see links section)
