Oldies But Goodies

These are some parodies I wrote in high school. Feel free to laugh at them, or at me. It won't hurt our feelings too much.

We Are Never Ever Getting Eagle Powers

(A parody of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift)

By Daniel Thurston

A Tribute to Nacho Libre

I remember when we fought those guys the first time

Saying "This is it, I've had enough"

'Cause like

He pinned me to the ground and squeezed my neck

And you said you were unconscious. What?

Then you come around again and say

"Nacho, I know who can help you." "Is it God?"

"No way!

I never got around to it, okay?"

I say "Get baptized," "Praise the Lord," and "Felicidades"

Ooh, we wrestled them again last night but

Ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever ever getting eagle powers

We are never ever ever getting eagle powers

You go talk to gypsies, talk to Ramses, talk to me

But we are never ever ever getting eagle powers

Like ever

I'm gonna miss fighting just to lose

And me piledriving some guy in the face

And you hating all the orphans in the world

And I tell them "Wrestling is against the Bible"

Ooh, we wrestle them again tonight but

Ooh, this time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever ever getting eagle powers

We are never ever ever getting eagle powers

You go talk to gypsies, talk to Ramses, talk to me

But we are never ever ever getting eagle powers

I used to think that he was the greatest ever

And I used to say "Ramses forever"

So he calls me up, and he's like, "He knows where to find eagle eggs," and I'm like

I mean this is exhausting. You know, like we are never getting eagle powers

Like ever

We are never ever ever getting eagle powers

We are never ever ever getting eagle powers

You go talk to gypsies, talk to Ramses, talk to me

But we are never ever ever getting eagle powers

Jeopardy Questions?

Today's post is written entirely in the format of this television quiz show. What is Jeopardy?

Why is this upside down?

Subsequently, today's post has an unusually large frequency of this punctuation mark. What is the question mark?


Is this related to the following post by Danny?

"What if the entire world were like Jeopardy, and everything we said were in the form of a question? Would more people use the subjunctive tense properly? What is I think so?" 

What is so funny about writing in questions?  Is this the Socratic method of teaching?  Do you see where I'm going with this?

Is this similar to the question game?  What is definitely?  Do I feel that this is going to get really old really fast?  What is very yes?

Is the inflection of the voice in your head beginning to be annoying?  Is that why we don't write interrogatively all the time?

Have I ran out of questions to ask?  Is this the end of the post?  Are you glad you can go back to reading things like a normal human being?  Are you going to try to get your friends to read this?  Why aren't you telling everyone you know about this?  Isn't it great that you don't have to deal with that every day?
