Dear #ukulele players. Anyone got any tips of playing barre chords? I’ve been struggling with b flat for weeks and can’t get it right, and it seems half the songs I want to play have them.
Any help is appreciated.

What do kids today call Groucho glasses?

I think George is a little warm.

Brilliant!

Happy Canada Day everyone! It’s a good day to be north of the 49th parallel.

Jesus Christ @citynewstoronto.bsky.social did it again. Twice they said he caved. Twice they are doing segments about it. This is Fox News bullshit!
How the hell dare you!

@citynewstoronto.bsky.social
You allowing someone on your news to say Carney caved is insulting and disgusting. The bias of this segment was obscene and below you. I used to believe you were better than this, that I could trust you not to do this kind of crap. Guess I was wrong.

I started collecting comics right as the 80’s Secret Wars began. Jim shooter was the writer, and he immediately became a favourite of a teenaged me. I met him once, and he was nice and answered my questions. I’m sorry to learn of his passing and my sympathies go out to his family and friends.

It looks like you have a little room there, you should buy more Star Wars stuff.

Hi everyone. Meet George. He’s nine weeks old and her mere existence drives his new older sister up the wall.

Now that “Night Court” is over, it’s time to give John Larroquette a show where he is a book store owner who solves murders.
Hollywood, get on it!

Dr. Demento Announces Retirement After 55-Year Radio Career Radio personality Barret "Dr. Demento" Hansen announced his retirement this week, ending a 55-year career devoted to comedy and novelty music when his show

I used to listen to Dr. Demento in the 80’s on Chum FM. First the good doctor, then the comedy show, then the old time radio drama show. That was a great was to spend a Sunday night. He was a part of my teenage years and I’ll never forget how great the show was.

If Sha-na-na were founded today, they would be singing the music of the 1990’s. And I, for one, would love to hear a doo-wop version of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” or “Wannabe.”

Love the Gameboy. I have fantastic memories playing it and it’s still my favourite console. Super Mario Land 2 is the best.

You knew when you saw Peter David’s name it was going to be well written and entertaining. He was a legend.

I have to admit, going by 1980’s entertainment, I thought pens leaking in my shirt pocket and leaving a huge and embarrassing stain would be a bigger problem than it turned out to be.

I don’t think any of us could see how Cheech Marin’s parody song “Born in East L.A.” could come true. Yet here we are.

I think TV detective shows peaked in the 1980’s with “Riptide.” They operated out of a houseboat, used a speedboat, helicopter, sports car, a 4 wheeled drive car, and a robot. Add plenty of manly chest hair and you’ve got a winner.

I have a joke that I’ve held for over 40 years, since I was in middle school. I always thought that, if I ever write a murder mystery book or play, I would use it because it makes me laugh.
I’m writing a comedic murder mystery play and used it today. It feels good. Like an itch has been scratched.

I think a Canadian national song contest, like Eurovision, would be a cool idea. I’d like to see what my country’s songwriters, singers and bands could come up with. We already have amazing musical artists here, so why not?

The new Pope is from Chicago, so his papacy will be driven by yes/and scenarios.

The people picked a Pope. Provost popular. Pledges peace for the population.

And the most amazing thing I’d seen in my six year old life. When the Death Star blew up I felt like I did it. I love that movie, and all of the media that came after. I’m a lifelong fan, and I don’t consider a moment of that wasted.
Happy Star Wars Day everybody!

I remember seeing Star Wars in the theatre for the first time. Dad took me. I had my Luke Skywalker action figure, because the stores were all out of Darth Vader. I hadn’t seen the movie yet, but I needed an action figure to see it. The movie was astounding, exciting, amazing, frightening, ⬇️

Yep. Got a bunch of figures and the voice thing. Bumped into a guy I knew from high school. He bought one of each thing and told me people called him “The Star Wars Guy” now.
Weird THAT is what I remember most from that day.

Why is there never enough ketchup for the grilled cheese? No matter how much ketchup
I put on the plate for my grilled cheese, there’s never enough. Either the bread absorbs a lot of ketchup or some sort of ketchup black hole opens up.
Is there some sort of scientific paper on this phenomena?

I forgot to look up to see if I could see Betelgeuse last night. I don’t know much about supernovas so can someone tell me did I miss my chance or is this going to go on for awhile?

You know they’re close to choosing a new Pope when Ewan McGregor jumps from an exploding helicopter.
It’s tradition.

Still the best Ninja Turtles movie.
