The View From Kalamazoo

I wonder if Bri would get me a late Valentine’s Day gift…? Nah…

All of my luddite friends will find this short video very, very amusing. My
techie friends will be spitting coffee and rolling on the floor.

Did I already post about this?

Not that anyone asked.

But how you not love the lyrics to What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?

What do you do with a B.A. in English,

What is my life going to be?

Four years of college and plenty of knowledge,

Have earned me this useless degree.

I can’t pay the bills yet,

‘Cause I have no skills yet,

The world is a big scary place.

But somehow I can’t shake,

The feeling I might make,

A difference,
To the human race.

Puppets, a la Muppets as the writers and puppeteers are ex-Sesame Street people. I was a Sesame Street kid (one, one peanut butter sandwich, ah ah ah!), I loved Fraggle Rock and Dark Crystal and just about anything Henson did – so this odd tribute, and snarky lyrics, are riiight up my alley.
