Doing a search on Amazon, I got annoyed that it doesn't let you exclude certain words from the results. (I want chewable vegan vitamins that are NOT gummies!) So I ended up including a few profanities in my ever-lengthening search string.

The results made me laugh.

Yodelling Pickle Musical Toy, Fun for all Ages, Great Gift
"Are you sick and tired of trying to teach your pickles to yodel? Pickles can be so stubborn. At last, the yodeling pickle you've been waiting for. With a mere press of a button (yes, it has a button) this little pickle will yodel its heart out. You'll think you're in the Swiss Alps listening to a yodeling pickle!"


Mugs with witty things written on them:

Mug: "Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice"

(Amazon seems to be telling me, "With a search string like that, you must talk to yourself a lot")

Mug: "i before e. Except after C and also when you heinously seize your feisty foreign neighbor's conceited beige heifer from the ceiling. Weird."

(now I can't even remember any i-before-e words other than retrieve and believe/belief... sieve...)

Mug: "I Shall Purchase a Large Sword | and name it Kindness | and Kill People With Kindness"

This video is so PRETTY!!! It has swords aflame! (best watched full screen)

It has a deep thuddy bass beat like "Bad Guy". I seem to like that sound.

Now I watched the above video again in full screen, while also playing that hypnotic-sounding song by Azam Ali / Niyaz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BwWAHqxcTw) in a different background tab. The video goes great with that song too.. and it even sounds pretty good with both songs playing together.


Speaking of "Bad Guy", Valeria from Georgia linked to this mostly acoustic cover. I wouldn't have even recognized the instrument as a ukelele; it sounds very neat:

Oh heck. Since I'm going overboard with posts this weekend, I may as well post these other videos.

The French version of the above video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs40yxHjTxQ


The video in this next one was intriguing enough for me to watch, even though I don't like the sound of the music:

The person in that video is sort of like me, I belatedly realized about half-way through it. (hair style, body, doing push-ups in the morning, bdsm references, wearing masculine clothes...)

From what I looked up, the artist is genderqueer and goes by "Chris" now instead of Christine, but seems to still use female pronouns. She looks very different to me with short hair, than she does in the first video with long hair.
