After Glug Gug donned his new invention, he walk and a crowd parted for him then banged sticks and drums. He turned around and walked back. The naked crowd went crazy. Glug Gug was afraid and didn’t take a second walk until he changed garments hoping he wouldn’t be recognized. He wasn’t. ---

Under Trog’s esteemed direction, the Moron Tabernacle Choir had a set list of 47 songs. There was, however, no spoken language in the year 24927 BCE. The lyrics of each song were “Aagaagaagaag” but in 47 slightly differing melodies. They were very popular in the Area-Around-The-Cave. They were described as simply aag. ---

Beyonce’s secret is all that dazzling hair, rumored to be a wig. A _magic_ wig! That’s why you never see her without it. A more blatant and obvious example?: Kristen Wiig! Mark my words! ---

The Wig Party was an offshoot of the Whig Party. Members were required to wear pompadours on their heads, genitals and armpits. The party was dissolved after a tragic fire swept through the 1st Wig Convention when a member set his pompadour beard alight with a cigar. The fire spread like - well - fire, as coif after coif burst into flames, leaping from one member to the next. Hair gel was suspected as the likely accelerant. ---

Francois Merkin is the eponymous inventor of the pubic wig. In 1707, there was a horrible orgy accident in Versailles and many of those present, including his wife, lost much of their pubic hair. He quickly snipped off his beard to save her from being shamed in front of the Sun King. ---

The use of the double-i spelling is facing backlash from social justice warriors claiming it’s a cultural appropriation from the Mogawatanaitsikambuda people of north-southwest Gambia, where the double-i is used to transliterate a sound used in their language described as “halfway between a burp and coughing up phlegm”. ---

The one time Lee Greenwood performed his luke-warm number “Proud To Be A Merkin” at the Blawnox Amphitheater of Awesome Hits, he was mobbed by an adoring crowd who thought he was singing, “Proud To Be An American”.
