Boba Fett writes in his journal

Last night I had that terrible dream where I got slowly digested over a 1000 years again. I wonder what it means?

But in real world — totally looking forward to the Hutt Annual BBQ this weekend. Life has been so good since I captured that Solo loser!

Alltop is slowly digesting its breakfast over 1000 humorous posts.

How to open a door (and be awesome)

This is a Finnish instructional video from 1979. Click on the red CC if you want the subtitles.

Oh my god, don’t leaving me hanging like that rocking 70s mustache man! How the hell do I look awesome if the door opens towards me?

Now, is it me, or is the rocking 70s mustache man just filled with rage? Did you notice how he made that fist after he’s told us not to be a bad door opener? You can see the creeping insanity in his eyes there. He’s ENRAGED by bad door openers. In fact, I heard he was ordered to do this instructional video by the Finnish courts for beating an old man senseless with his own cane after he was unable to slide effortlessly through the portal.

I would like to see a follow up series of videos explaining how to obsessively wash your hands after you touch a door handle or even worse, a knob. (Shudder.)

Alltop is enraged by sloppy window cracking.

At a certain point in your life, you realize that you are who you are.

That isn’t to say that your life won’t change. Of course it will change. So will your personality, but not in big ways. If you’re an introvert, you’re not going to suddenly feel energized by hanging out with a room full of happy strangers who want nothing better than to engage you in mindless chitchat. And vice versa.

You may be able to change some of your habits, if you’ve got the willpower. Of course, if you don’t have willpower to begin with, you probably won’t be able to do too much about those habits, unless they’re going to kill you. That can replace willpower.

This is the stage at your life when you can be happy with who you are, if you accept it. But that’s the hard part of this process. You have to give up on some idealized version of yourself, and accept the being you are at the moment. You have to stop living in some perfect future, and hang out in the present.

But you can always get a new haircut.

Yes, I’m aware of the irony

I’ve always loved Weird Al, and this piece demonstrates his great sense of humor, grasp of the zeitgeist, and his songwriting chops.

Stop Forwarding that Crap To Me

My only regret is that he didn’t work in a couple of FB and Twitter references, which are surely the new version of this phenomenon.

Weird Al for Pres!

Alltop could be the Secretary of Humor.
