Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.  –  SiegedSec

Since I’ve featured a number of Batman-related videos lately (both here and in my “Video of the Day” feature on Twitter & BlueSky), I figured I’d share this one, performed by Burt Ward but written and produced by none other than Frank Zappa.  The links above it were provided by IncarcerNation (x2); Radley Balko; Phoenix Calida; Franklin Harris and Gustavo Turner; and IncarcerNation again, in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!

A person is not more dangerous…based on the amount of bong water that person possesses.  –  Minnesota Supreme Court

This week’s video is only 44 seconds long, but as it’s one of my favorite moments from ’60s television, it was too good to pass up.  The links above it were provided by Franklin Harris, Mike Siegel, Phoenix Calida, Nun Ya, IncarcerNation (x2), and Franklin Harris again, in that order.

I recently heard this song for the first time in many years, and it reminded me that I rather liked Springsteen in the days when I jokingly referred to him as “Bruce Mumblesing”.  The links above it were provided by Nun Ya, Radley Balko, Jesse Walker (x2), Franklin Harris, IncarcerNation, and Violet Blue, in that order.

We’re not in Afghanistan or Gaza.  –  Bevis Schock

Even though I don’t do April Fools hoaxes any more, I still like a good parody, and I recently came across this one by Amy Winfrey, mocking her own hilarious Making Fiends series (if you’ve never seen it, you should remedy that today).  The links above the video were provided by Scott Greenfield, Walter Olson,  C.J. Ciaramella, The Onion, Mike Masnick, and IncarcerNation (x2), in that order.

Diary #695

Last week, I received a package from Amazon containing several birthday presents from my wishlist; they were sent by one of my especially-generous gentlemen, who never misses the opportunity to send me gifts at holidays or just because he saw something on the list which tickled him.  I’ve been wanting to see the pictured one for a while because it’s the movie which inspired the creation of Batman’s arch-nemesis, The Joker.  It’s not really a horror movie per se, but the one of the other two gifts, the definitely-a-horror-movie Vampyr, had a less-than-striking box, and the other, Vince Guaraldi’s soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas, isn’t seasonal.  So if you’ve sometimes wondered how I choose which gift to illustrate when there are several, now you know.  And if you want one of your gifts to adorn next week’s diary column, there are still three good seasonal choices on my wishlist and almost a week for Amazon to get them here!
