I want to see a “Forged in Fire” and “Iron Chef” crossover event. The bladesmiths forge a pair of Chef Knives. Chef Morimoto and Chef Bobby Flay pick the winner. Then, they cook a meal for the Forged in Fire judges.

Solar Eclipse Panic

Remember how, during previous solar eclipses, there were internet and cell phone outages, food shortages, and traffic jams?

Yeah – I don’t either…

We had a total eclipse in #yeahThatGreenville in August of 2017. Hotels and airplane flights were booked to capacity, but no one panicked.

Partial Solar Eclipse

Greenvillians can view a partial solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024. It begins at 1:50 pm, the maximum is at 3:09 pm, and it ends at 4:24 pm. Remember to wear eclipse-viewing glasses to avoid damaging your eyes!

War Pigs Message

With everything that’s going on in Ukraine and the potential of US troop involvement in the conflict, we need to revisit some old war protest songs. One of the best war protest songs from the Viet Name ers is “War Pigs.” The message behind Black Sabbath’s iconic song is multifaceted and powerful. Let’s delve into its layers.

First, it is an Anti-War Protest. “War Pigs” was originally intended as a protest song during the Vietnam War era. The lyrics equate war with evil, portraying it as a destructive force that harms humanity. Geezer Butler, the band’s bassist and lyricist, explained that the song’s opening lines compare military leaders to necromancers gathering for black masses. This analogy emphasizes the sinister nature of war. The song condemns war’s impact on soldiers and civilians alike, highlighting the senseless violence and destruction.

War Pigs is Social Commentary. The lyrics point fingers at politicians who initiate wars but leave the actual fighting to the poor and disenfranchised. “Why should they go out to fight? / They leave that role to the poor.” The song criticizes the exploitation of vulnerable individuals for the benefit of those in power.

War Pigs has Apocalyptic Imagery. The haunting imagery of bodies burning and the relentless war machine turning reflects the grim reality of conflict. “Death and hatred to mankind / Poisoning their brainwashed minds” underscores the devastating impact of war on humanity.

The song concludes with a vision of judgment day. “Now in darkness, world stops turning / Ashes where the bodies burning / No more war pigs have the power / Hand of God has struck the hour.” The war pigs, once powerful, are left crawling and begging for mercy as Satan laughs. This final scene symbolizes the ultimate reckoning for those who perpetuate war.

“War Pigs” is a timeless anti-war anthem that denounces violence, questions authority, and calls for peace. Its impact extends far beyond its heavy riffs and menacing sound, resonating with generations of listeners. 🤘🎵

Who is Stacy’s Mom?

According to a Reddit post, the songs “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield, “Jenny” by Tommy Tutone, and “Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne are all about the same woman. The theory goes that Jessie’s Girl is about a guy who is in love with his best friend’s girlfriend and wants to be with her. Jenny is about a woman whose phone number is written on a bathroom wall, and again a man who wants to be with her. Finally, Stacy’s Mom is about a kid who is lusting after a girl’s mom. The theory suggests that Jessie eventually won over the woman, and they got married and had a daughter named Stacy. In the music video for “Stacy’s Mom,” Stacy gets into a car with her mom, and the license plate of the car says “I 💙 Rick.”

So, to answer your question, the theory is that Stacy’s Mom is Jessie’s Girl, and her name is Jenny. However, it’s important to note that this is just a fan theory and not an official statement from any of the artists involved.

Is your mustache frozen?

You may think it’s cold where you are, but is it “my mustache is frozen, and I look like a Walrus” cold.

Cowboy and a Gentlemen

This was one of my grandpa’s favorite jokes. Not sure how many times I heard it:

A woman tries getting on a bus but realizes her skirt is too tight. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the bus’s first step.

Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. She tried to take the step, only to discover she couldn’t.

With a little smile to the driver, she again reached behind to unzip a little more and was unable to take the step again. After becoming quite frustrated and embarrassed, she once again attempted to unzip her skirt more to allow more legroom to get on the bus’s first step.

About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus.

She went ballistic and turned to the would-be Samaritan and yelled, “How dare you touch my body! I don’t even know who you are!”

The Texan smiled and drawled, “Well, ma’am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we were friends.” 🤣
