OK, right, let's lighten up a little, if we can
Per this very good advice from John M. Ford (Damaris, I hear you laughing, STOP IT! :) )
Jim Macdonald explains how Folksongs Are Your Friends:
I have four children, two daughters and two sons. Naturally, I worry about their moral upbringing. As everyone knows who's paying attention, "Just say no" doesn't work. Instead, I made sure they were constantly exposed to the traditional folksongs and legends of Great Britain. Nothing's more certain to give you a strong sense of the negative consequences of immoral or imprudent behavior.
I have also decided to compile a list of extremely trivial things to be pissed off about. Feel free to join in and add your own, but remember, they must be TOTALLY trivial and without importance. To wit:
The current spate of Captain Crunch commercials I see on the TV channels Mike tends to watch. It took me a while, but I eventually realized what made these so much more annoying than others of the same ilk.
That's not Captain Crunch's voice.
At least, it is not the voice they started with pretty near 40 years ago. And that somehow bugs me way more than it ought.
More later, I still need to go de-glass that window.
