I almost feel I have to apologize for this one. This music video is so bad, it’s like rewatching a tape of NASCAR accident when you know the driver loses an arm or a leg, yet you can’t tear your eyes away.

The producers and director must have done this on purpose because why else would they have cast a campy Freddie Mercury or Kevin Richardson ripoff in the lead role? If that wasn’t enough, they stuck in a Cylon from the Battlestar Galactica series in the Yoda role. There’s also refererences to Silverado, Planet of the Apes, Fistful of Dollars, Shanghai Noon, The Matrix, Fistful of Dollars, Star Wars, Star Trek (silver bikini), and the Lone Ranger, to name a few.

This easily is the Snakes on a Plane of music videos.

I think I’ll stick to good videos from now on, because I can’t sink any lower.

Having been married to my soulmate for decades now and this subject still comes up. Stumbled over this perspective on the issue.

(And I don’t read “Dear Abby” or “Ann Landers” or any of that crap…noooo….)

Dear Prudence,
My first marriage was to a man who is a mechanic. He said he wouldn’t wear his wedding ring (I found out right after our wedding) because back in high school his shop teacher cut his finger off during shop class when his wedding ring got caught in the saw, or something of that sort. This marriage ended in divorce because, as I found out later, he was sleeping around.

Now I am in my second marriage and my husband is an engineer. Shortly after the wedding, he tells me the same thing, he can’t wear his wedding ring because his shop teacher in high school had his finger cut off due to his wedding ring getting caught in the saw. I did not think this could happen twice. I have no reason to suspect my current husband, and because of my first marriage I do watch for any red flags. But how many men really don’t wear wedding rings because their shop teachers damaged their appendages with one?

1. When in the express lane, make sure that all items are rung up and bagged before you start looking for your checkbook. Then, after you make a futile search for your pen, borrow one from the clerk and make sure your checkbook is balanced before giving up the check.

Here’s a high-definition picture of the fictitious city of Theed (I think) on the planet Naboo from the Star Wars movies. Check out the level of detail.
