The Martian as a Musical Comedy

The science fiction film The Martian won a Golden Globe Award for Best Drama: Musical or Comedy, even though it was neither a musical nor a comedy. We still haven’t heard a convincing explanation for that one. But Mashable saw an opportunity.

See, it's all in the framing. All you need to do is lift every clip of someone smiling, falling, or messing up something to make it look like a comedy. Then add a comedy voiceover narration, some cheesy background music, and a comedy font. Oh yeah, and people singing. You can use the existing footage for that. There you have it, The Martian as a musical comedy! Or at least a trailer for one. The feel good hit of 2015. -via Tastefully Offensive

When I was three, my parents took me to see Holiday on Ice, and all I remember was my dad trying to get me to eat cotton candy. I knew cotton was what was stuffed in the top of the aspirin bottle, and I'd already tried to eat it. No way was I going to fall for Dad's tricks!

I'm a boomer and this is a story from the 1920's that my mother and her brother (my uncle) told me. When they were kids they believed that grasshoppers would spit molasses. They would each catch a grasshopper in their hands and shake them really hard until the bugs vomited onto their hands. While shaking the bugs they would yell "Grasshopper, grasshopper, give me some molasses!" Then they would open there hands and the bugs would flee and they would lick up the grasshopper juice. yeah... fun times.
