Let’s learn a new word! Can you say “shiv”?

Hearing that song every hour is likely to turn the prison into an insane asylum. Oops!—Too late.

Is the guard holding a vevuzela?

BLEEB’s IN PRISON???…What crime did he commit to send him to the slammer?!!

Color me skeptical.

Guard looks like he’s stepping on one guys leg and kicking another fellow in the rump. Not sure the name of that dance. Oh wait, it’s a M. Jackson move: “I’m Bad”

Just hope your cellmate isn’t Mr. Mcfeely.

I thought I saw Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans! Wrong century.

On special celebrations (like birthdays), they sometimes do/adapt “Who are the People in Your Neighborhood” from Sesame Street.

“The burglar is person in your neighborhood … He’s the person you don’t meet when your walking down the street. He’s a person that will sneak each day.”

Bleeb’s seems to like the song. He’s dancing up a storm.

Every-body now…..

Every hour??

It’s a mass escape! They all break out in song.

Bleeb’s movin’ to the groovin’!

Won’t you shoot my neighbor?

I thought they switched to orange jump suits years ago.

What’s that sound boys and girls? That’s Mr. Warden! He plays music over the loud speaker to keep everybody in the neighborhood happy!

Mr. Warden says that when we listen to music, we’re so happy that when we leave this neighborhood, we won’t go to your neighborhood and steal your TV’s… and have to visit Mr. Judge again.

O no bleeb is in jail

The warden threw a party in the county jail…

I lived near Pittsburgh for a few years. Mr. Rogers is a holy institution there.

“cruel and unusual” comes to mind.

Looks more like “Jailhouse Rock” to me.

A Dem D.A will be letting them out anyway.

Everybody seemed to enjoy it except 24601. :)

I worked with the disabled for awhile, they had Barney going 24/7 . Heaven help you if you switched to a ball game!

It’s a beautiful day in the big state penn/it’s a beautiful day in the big state penn/would you be my/would you be my cellmate

EVERY hour? Torture in prison. That could rival being forced to ride Disney Small World more than once in a lifetime. AAAAAaaaaaaa. Make it stop

That is a serious 8th Amendment violation. One that will trigger riots.

Oh, if only that worked …
