Somewhere deep in the swamps of the malaria-infested jungles of a country whose name I shan’t divulge dwelled the man I had travelled across great distances in both time and space to find.
It was Bob’s Grandpa, and I had come to kill him.
But that’s another story so here is this week’s Weird Crap.
Actually, speaking of weird, I just recently saw Weird Al. Here is the Present I mean. I’ve never gone back and seen him in the Past. But I must at some point because as soon as he saw me he sent security chasing after me. I had to disguise myself to get away. Fortunately there were hundreds of other guys running around wearing Hawaiian shirts. Anyway, it was a great concert. More than a concert actually—it was a travelling stage show. I would say without a doubt that Weird Al is now the hardest working man in show business. If you are weird, and if you are reading this right now there’s really no question about it, then I highly recommend going to see him if you ever get the chance. And he didn’t pay me to say that either. But he may have threatened me. Either way, I’m not saying. So without further ado we now return you to your regularly scheduled Weird Crap.
Still More Future History
In The Future, after the success of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, convicted criminals started routinely running for political office as a way of avoiding prison. Of course to stay out of jail they had to win their elections, and to win their elections they had to spend lots of money, the net effect being that poor people usually went to jail while the wealthy were very often able to avoid it.
Actually now that I think about it nothing really changed all that much.
