    After 21 years, I finally decided to give him back his snorkel.

      @@progamerz6510 I did.
      He thanked me, but he also said I didn't look anything like the person he described. I told him that was 21 years ago, and the Flock of Seagulls thing went out of style years ago. He also said about me only having one nostril, and I said it was the result of an operation gone wrong. I reminded him that he was the doctor who performed that operation, (I think you know what that's a reference to.) and that I took his snorkel as revenge for what he did to my nose. And I had another operation to have that problem fixed.

      I've heard hermaphrodite has a negative connotation nowadays. I've never seen anyone actually get offended by it though. At best, it's people getting offended for some hypothetical person the word might offend

    How Weird Al varies his voice at a concert, it is so effective. On the less important lines, he gives a lower volume, bass voice to avoid losing his breath. He saves his bigger voice for more important lines.

  • @unrellated

    Something's not right. When Al shout's the guitarist's name just before the solo, that's supposed to be a cue that he wants Jim to play something silly instead of the actual solo.

    1. I said to my mom
    I said, "Hey, mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut?"
    And my dear, sweet mother
    She just looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train
    And she leaned right down next to me
    And she said, "It's good for you!"
    Then she added "Which would you have, that or kale?!"
    Then she tied me to a chair in front of the TV, and made me watch Cats
    2. But then one fateful night, Zelda said to me
    She said, "Sweetie pumpkin? Do you wanna join the Columbia Record Club?"
    I didn't really have much to say, mainly because I still had those weasels on my face. Even as I speak, they're still chewing on me. COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE GET THESE THINGS OFF ME??!!
    3. Weird Al: Anyway, um, um, where was I? Kinda lost my train of thought
    Me: You were talking about your part-time job at The Sizzler.
    Weird Al: Oh, yeah. While I was working there, I was writing songs for my album, "Even Worse" and the soundtrack for my movie "UHF". My boss fired me after he heard my parody of R.E.M.'s song Stand, because he thought spam was evil, like trigonometry and prime numbers. So then, in addition to making music, I became a grammar teacher, and opened up a store that sold stickers for signs that have what I call "word crimes". That inspired me to record a song for my last album. Why isn't any of this on Wikipedia? Most of the stuff they mentioned is about my career in music, and movies. It really pisses me off, because I feel like it's important info that everybody should know about. I guess I'll be "white and nerdy", and edit my article.
