All is Lost!

Somehow, June’s and July’s entries have all disappeared off our servers! We will be re-posting them, but in the meantime, please enjoy yet another of Weird Al’s masterpieces. You know who you are.

Weird Al’s done it again. On the same album as “Word Crimes” comes this little gem. Enjoy the synergy.

(In case you lost count, he hit Lexicide featured words diversity, holistic, leverage, methodology, and vis-à-vis.)
