Don't bother stocking up on pants. You'll be a different size after they deport all the farm workers.

I got a lesson in this a couple of years ago. Got a great deal on Levis, so I bought two pairs and put one away for when the first wore out. Now they are both too big.

Oh, that dog video, LOL! Also enjoyed the explanation of spontaneous human combustion and the modern pink desert oasis.

It's too easy to pick a chart topping song from over 50 years ago and label it the worst ever just because it didn't age well. Muskrat Love definitely excluded there. The key here is to pick a song you absolutely couldn't stand when it first came out despite its success. Kung Fu Fighting and Midnight at the Oasis come to mind.

Maybe so, but I found all these songs annoying when they were new.

Trust me ... as a former DJ, I can attest to the fact that there were some far worse songs out there...

Those songs ! Most of them are great !
So you don't like peanut butter ?
Doesn't mean the other 8,023,435,077 people don't as well.
I was singing the Convoy song just last week ... mind you, I was barrelling through a road block in a massive truck at the time.
Nah, good songs ... 'Billy, Don't be a Hero' - still sing the bits i know.
Everything by Paul Anka is good.
The Morning After, haven't sung that for a while, but still, good.
The Streak is always good for a laugh 'Don't look, Ethel'
Seasons in the Sun has been covered by about 12 other people, 2 of them world famous.
Karen Carpenter's voice is pure heaven (ok, was, still love her)
Afternoon Delight - reminds me of my babies' mother and when we were nearly 20.
And c'mon .. The Peni .. Pina Colada song ... EVERY party I have been to over my past 5 lives has had that song played.
And ... while I can't forget the fiddling, Michael Jackson was a musical genius.
You call these songs bad ?

No wonder you guys elected The Orange Crooked Monster.
