I love Weird Al.
Two of the musicians that appeared on this song? Members of Reel Big Fish. If you haven’t heard of Reel Big Fish, you weren’t paying attention at this time last night.
Anyway, do you have something you’d like to share? A link? A joke? Some words of wisdom? A topic to discuss? It’s Friday Night Open Thread.
What’s on your mind?
That’s Joe Biden on the right. He usually has that look.
(To the tune of Olivia Newton-John singing “Hopelessly Devoted” from Grease)

Yours is not the first pledge broken;
You guys are not the first to lie:
You’re not the first, you know
Just know, it’s getting overused …
You treat us just like fools who are willin’
To sit around and vote for you
But, Biden, can’t you see?
There’s nothing else at this university
To do.
Hopelessly we’re voting for you.
♫
But, now,
There’s nothing to decide
Since you pushed Bernie aside
You’re out of your head,
Hopelessly I’m voting for you.
Hopelessly demented like you.
Hopelessly we’re voting for you.
♫
My head is saying: “He’s a fool, forget him!”
My heart is saying: “Don’t!”
and
“Joe, let go!”
Hold on to the end –
… No pun intended, dude.
Hopelessly I voted for you.
♫
[Repeat — as many times as the voting precinct will let you]

For a change, some positive news from the world of medicine: one less thing to be terrified of.
Of course, it wouldn’t have been discovered in a command-and-control economy…
Like Patching a Flat Tire: New Fix Heals Herniated Discs
Cornell University / March 11, 2020 / Phys.orgA new two-step technique to repair herniated discs uses hyaluronic acid gel to re-inflate the disc and collagen gel to seal the hole, essentially repairing ruptured discs like you’d repair a flat tire.
After a rupture, a jelly-like material leaks out of a herniated disc, causing inflammation and pain.
The injury is usually treated one of two ways: a surgeon sews up the hole, leaving the disc deflated; or the disc is refilled with a replacement material, which doesn’t prevent repeat leakages. Each approach on its own isn’t always effective.
A collaboration led by Cornell University professor Lawrence Bonassar combined these two methods into a new two-step technique that results in a “patched” disc that maintains mechanical function and won’t collapse or deteriorate.

Straight Line of the Day: Colorado just voted to replace Columbus Day with ‘Cabrini Day.’ Other holiday changes…
Colorado Passes Bill for Cabrini Day To Replace Columbus Day
UPI | March 10, 2020Colorado lawmakers passed a bill Tuesday to replace Columbus Day with a new state holiday honoring Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini on the first Monday in October. . . . It now needs the governor’s signature to become law, and he is not expected to oppose it.
I haven’t told Walrus yet. I wanted you to know first. He’ll find out soon enough. But we got a thank you from Catwoman.
Maybe.
Probably not.
But, we like the idea so we’re gonna say it’s legit.
Here’s what happened. We got an email via one of our contact forms that purported to be from Julie Newmar. Here, lemme show you.
Yes, that is a note from someone who claims to be Julie Newmar saying she loves our posts. Why would she say that? Well, she blew away the competition in the post by Walrus asking who was the best Catwoman. Julie Newmar (who I voted for) got 46% of the vote. Michelle Pfeiffer and the late Eartha Kitt tied for second with 12% each.
Now, I’m not showing you the IP address that was attached to the message. But I did do a location lookup, and it came back to Los Angeles, where Miss Newmar lives.
I’m also not showing the email address that was submitted… Well, I’m showing you part of it, just not the domain. But it’s an Internet Service Provider that you’d recognize.
Yes, anyone could get whatever username the ISP would allow, but with the large ISP, it leans towards legit.
I still don’t think it is legit. I think it’s a gag, but they did a good job on it.
But if it’s not, I’m quite jealous of Walrus getting a note from Julie Newmar.
I never get emails from Catwoman. The Cat Lady from the Simpsons won’t even have anything to do with me.
