  • Song Lib - I'm Yours | with special guest Clayton Riptide

    Ever done Mad Libs? Fun right? I thought I'd give it a shot with a song. I got ahold of my good pal Clayton Riptide and had him select the song and fill in the blanks. I then put it together into a glorious collision of weirdness and Jason Mraz.

  • Song - I Love You, Adeline

    A song from a daddy to his little girl whom he hasn't yet met.

    LYRICS:

    My finger in a tiny fist

    Sleepy face I can't resist

    You're the answer to a thousand whispered prayers

    At last I'm finally holding you

    There's nothing that I wouldn't do

    Just to let you know your daddy's always there

    I'm so pleased to meet

    So excited to finally greet you

    You're a brand new world

    All wrapped up in a little girl

    I love you Adeline

    Pixie dust and painted wings

    Nerf guns, games, and grassy jeans

    I wonder what will occupy your mind

    All I ask is take it slow

    Love Jesus as you learn and grow

    He will help us teach you to be good and kind

    I'm so pleased to meet

    So excited to finally greet you

    What a joy for me

    To get to know the girl you'll be

    I love you Adeline

    Welcome to our world precious baby girl

    Our lives are sweetened by your presence, Adeline

    For now it's good enough for me

    To breathe you and watch you dream

    Right now is where I want to spend my time

    Your mom and I, and your brothers too

    All thank God for the gift of you

    Our precious baby girl, Adeline

    I'm so pleased to meet

    So excited to finally greet you

    You're a brand new world

    All wrapped up in a little girl

    I love you Adeline

  • Jump Toastiota - Marvin K Mooney

    Common Tater comments on Marvin K Mooney by Dr. Seuss and offers some additional ways for Marvin to take his leave. Ways that just make more sense. Or do they? Not for me to judge.

  • PSA Guy - Carbon Rant

    A couple things are apparent here:

    1. Never trust an idiot with an idea and a microphone
    2. Driving with the windows down is a terrible time to record
    3. Regardless, Lincoln Cyphers (the PSA guy), is plenty entertaining. Listen to his important public service announcement concerning carbon and his plan for getting rid of it.

    4. To the Kids - Be the One

      You can't control other people. You can control you. You can choose to be the one who is different, who is better. Be the one.

    5. Song - the Omelet Song

      I put a call out on Facebook for a song topic. I received two immediate replies: omelets and shoelaces.

      45 minutes later I'd penned this masterpiece. I had no idea it was to have such a possible message. Who knew?


      LYRICS:

      Start with eggs 

      I'll use three A bit of ham and a mess of cheese 

      Throw in a pan turn up the heat 

      Holy crap it resembles me

      It starts as a mess not nice to see 

      But as it cooks it’s consistency 

      Begins to firm ceasing to be 

      So wishy-washy and ugly 

      A yellow cloud light and fluffy 

      Has filled the pan with aromas a plenty 

      Ham and cheese a feast of kings 

      What glory a little fire brings 

      Onto a plate then to the table 

      But we’re not done with this silly fable 

      Catch the point if you’re able 

      What once was fluid now is stable 

      Much like eggs we can break and yet 

      That’s when we’re most valuable 

      Are you starting to get the point 

      You’ll find it I bet 

      If you’re broken by life there’s no need to fret 

      You’re perfectly poised to become 

      a Delicious and nutritious and satisfying omelet


      Tie your shoes

    6. Afraid Meniscus
      Went to the doctor. I'm fat. Tennis elbow doesn't necessarily have anything to do with tennis. My meniscus may be afraid of carrying me around. Arm wrestling. Racing. Hernias and diverticulitis.
