Madonna was so keen to be parodied by Yankovic in the 80s that she came up with the title Like a Surgeon for Like a Virgin

this is a LIE. we all know ted mosby came up with Like a Surgeon.

Handy is definitely better than the original.

watch/listen to bob, realize it's all palindromes, and try to tell me he isn't a genius in some way.

Genuinely admire him, been a fan since the 80s.

He released 8 videos, we only had posts on what? 2? SMH

[supadupalove]

we had at least three, I think? Tacky, Word Crimes and Foil I definitely remember posts on. but still, ia!!

I'm stunned there wasn't a "First World Problems" post, but maybe it hits too close to home.

I tried to make a post for Handy but it was a Yahoo exclusive at the time and their player wouldn't embed on here. :(
