I love Weird Al.
Do you have something you’d like to share? A link? A joke? Some words of wisdom? A topic to discuss? It’s our nightly Open Thread, and you have the floor.
It’s a shame we’ll have to lose all the laughs and humor that Richard Pryor gave to the world, because he used the word “honkey” and that other n-word that he and I can’t speak.
Redd Foxx? Gone.
Steve Martin used the “h”-word, too, so cancel him.
Eddie Murphy? Funny guy, but Buckwheat and the white power symbol . . . . He’s gone, too.
Inside the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the first of many pins that will secure the right-hand motor segment – one of five segments that make up one of two solid rocket boosters for the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) – to the rocket’s right-hand aft skirt is inserted on June 24, 2020. Once the aft segments are mated to the two aft skirts, they will be moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking on the mobile launcher. Manufactured by Northrop Grumman in Utah, the twin boosters provide more than 75 percent of the total SLS thrust at launch. Under the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and the next man on the Moon by 2024. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will test the Orion spacecraft and SLS as an integrated system ahead of crewed flights to the Moon.
“I can do this with one hand behind my back! Are we using feet or meters?”
“Feet.”
“Take a knee, honkey!”
The American flag is not to be used as a . . .
Union Guy #1: “What?”
Union Guy #2: “What time is it?”
Union Guy #3: “What?”
“Are you even looking where you’re cutting?”
[To the tune of “Monster Mash”]

It escaped from the lab late one night
So goodbye, Isis, there’s a new thing in sight
The death toll began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
Covid and mask, they donned a demonstrative mask
Demonstrative mask, it’s such a simple task
Demonstrative mask, every Karen will ask
Demonstrative mask, “Where is your demonstrative mask?”
From that laboratory out in the Far East
To your master bedroom (and you can’t call a priest)
You should stay in . . . for your own protection
And give your vote to my election
They donned the mask, they donned the demonstrative mask
Demonstrative mask, such a symbolic task
Demonstrative mask, every Karen will ask
Demonstrative mask, where’s your demonstrative mask?

The zombies were having fun, and the Dem party had a two-for-one
The guests included Creepy Biden and his questionable son
♫ ♫
The streets were chaos, all protections denied
But that’s OK as they’re on the left’s side
No social distance test during social unrest
We have a vocal group, so screw the rest
They put on masks, so they could grab and smash
And grab some cash, because it makes them brash
It’s quite a stash, they turned the city to trash
It’s just a mask, but why are cops so rash?
Out from his basement Biden’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by, you know, the thing
He opened an eyelid and shook his fist
And said “There’s never been a plague like this!”
He wore the mask, a symbolic mask
He wore the mask, to in that lamelight bask
Demonstrative mask, why dangling from the ear, you may ask?
Demonstrative mask, empty like Nancy’s flask
Now everything’s cool, masks are part of the land
Demonstrative masks at every lemonade stand
For you, the healthy, this mask was meant to
Make you feel like you’re diseased, maybe deceased too
So wear a mask, wear a demonstrative mask
Demonstrative mask, it’s such a simple task
Demonstrative mask, every Karen will ask
Demonstrative mask, where is your demonstrative mask?
Mask good!
Easy, Eager, for the imperious ploy
Mask good! Grrr!

It appears they finally caught Epstein’s procuress, Ghislaine Maxwell.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that she is being held by the SDNY. You know, the guys who were protecting Jeffrey Epstein, who did not kill himself.
So today’s question is simple.
What is the over/under on the number of days before she commits suicide?
The Book is open.
