I coined a word: "half-wokesters."

I can't find one example of anyone else saying it, and I used it first at the end of the previous post: "Come on, you half-wokesters...."

*** 

Have you been half asleep/And have you heard voices?

One of my favorite songs from a movie. Written by the great Paul Williams - himself almost looking like a human Muppet.

I can’t help it- I really liked it.
He can really pluck a banjo.

Paul Williams played the voice of a frog in a kids movie.
It was called Frog.

Could I get a transcript? I got bored during the banjo intro.

It’s a compound word. Singular. No flag on the play…

Having worked with many, many consultants over the years I have learned that one mark of a successful consultant is the creation and propagation of new words and phrases. If your consulting firm doesn't have at least 2 words they made up you're not getting your money's worth.

Congratulations on achieving consultantness.

As I started watching that video I wondered if it was shot outside or if it was shot in front of a screen. I started looking at the light sources and decided if it wasn't shot outside they at least got the lighting right. I next decided he was probably just lip syncing though... The muppets really got in my head somehow. I'm so dumb. I'm 50!

Beautiful song! I used to sing it to my children, ending with "Rebecca, and Richard, and me."

Woke and drowsy. That said, diversity of individuals, minority of one. Men and women are equal in rights and complementary in Nature/nature. Reconcile. #HateLovesAbortion

I just noticed that his hand moves on the fret when the song changes chords.
