[strumming my old guitar]
Me and my VCR
Look at how fine we are
I know that I’ll go far
With my VCR
Beta or VHS
Simply remains the best
Who would have ever guessed
That a VCR would be so…
[prancing madly around the stage to avoid the vaudeville hook]
Happy, and be so…
Hoppy, and be so…

Good morning! Shall we believe things today? Great! I’ll go first: The Great Thing That Sneaks In The Woods. It’s not a god, far from it, but it does like its sacrifices, that’s for dang sure. Has anybody seen Cheryl… and the axe? The Great Thing That Sneaks In The Woods. It does a body good.

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
