This about sums it up for me:

Perhaps you've seen them. (Actually, how could you avoid them?) I'm talking about those annoying Omnaris commercials with the crappy computer animation in which a bunch of military-looking men in helmets ram an Omnaris sprayer into the woman's nose to fix her nasal allergies:
Something's always…
Why am I politically liberal? Is it because liberal ideals conform to my own sense of morals about how a just society should function? According to some, that idea is laughably wrong. Let me share with you an exchange from facebook:
Me: The michigan house passed the doctor tax. Time to write…
Mr. Z records live music and is nuts about microphones.
Whenever we watch t.v. he is always pointing out microphones to me. Earlier this evening, the first NFL playoff game ends, there's a crazy scene on the field, confetti flying in the air:
Mr. Z: Did you see that mic?
Me: No.
Mr. Z: There!…
I hate flying.
I hate the wasted time. I hate the invasion of privacy. I hate being disconnected from the internet. I hate the food. I hate being around that many people. I hate being squished next to people on the actual plane. I hate the stress. EDIT: UGH AND THE BATHROOMS! I HATE THE…
I like the beat and the words but I find it impossible to dance to.
Do you have a piano to offer?
Tim Minchin rocks!!
Just FYI, part of the humour here is that he's not doing his usual style. Which is sparkling brilliant piano playing and song writing.

Orac,
I continually look forward to your next post as a means to enlighten, educate, and entertain myself, and I feel almost a sadness that my first post to your page comes as a means of this video.... but, I have to congratulate you on the video find.
If you asked for someone to sum up every YFDoW, this would be it.
Keep up the good work, masses of readers depend on your voice of reason as a means to combat the ignorant. This video aside, you may never know the impact that you have, you just have to know that you have made one.

Waw, amazing. That's an instant classic in the skeptical community!!!
Agree with Cath, Tim Minchin so rocks! Saw him at the 2006 Melbourne Comedy Festival charity gala and he was the highlight of the evening. *makes note to book tickets for next local Minchin gig ASAP*
I admire anyone who can pen a song like "If I didn't have you", and not wake up to see all your belongings tipped into the front garden. (And I admire his wife more, for apparently seeing the song's underlying meaning!)
The Minchin does indeed rock.
And his new show includes a 9 minute beat poem attacking, among other things, homeopathy. Saw him at the Edinburgh festival and it was simply great :)
