Brevity by Dan Thompson for May 02, 2023

Okay, I searched, and I now know what a pop-it toy is. I also searched for a list of Metallica songs, and found that they did one called “Master of Puppets”. That’s too much work just to get the joke.

Well, I didn´t want them anyway.

I gave up on Metallica when they started bragging about their music being used to torture prisoners in Iraq.

For reasons unknown (at least to me) Metallica’s Master of Puppets was the first heavy metal album in the National Recording Museum. See Ridley’s Believe It or Not from 4-27-2023.

I suppose it’s enough that someone, somewhere thinks flattened, waffled rubber balls are funny. :) :?

They are used to relieve the stress that is created from listening to Metallica’s music.

Nice coincidence; I was checking out at a Staples store 2 days ago and picked a Pop-It! game off the shelves to see what the yellow cupped thing was. I thought it was going to be a tray for mini ice cubes.

I haven’t listened to them since Lars got all mad about people getting free songs on the internet!
