I guess I should assume this is a scam of some sort?
Oh yes. Definitely a scam.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My father is also known for Making Shit Up.
My old man is the same way. Sort of like Calvin's dad.

Oh, and on a completely different topic: Muppet Show Season One is finally going to be released on DVD!
Disney has stated that they want to make the best possible sets and it seems like they are. The project is not finished yet, but from talking with those involved, the work done will amaze, excite, and delight the fans. The DVD sets are being designed for DVD collectors, Muppet Show fans, and nostalgic viewers. So don’t worry about the show being watered down, or trying to appeal to an overly childish audience.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Huh. I always thought that it was a song about the Victorian children's game "Rings Around the Stars," which was updated and renamed "Ring-o-Star" in 1960. The commercial jingle was a hit for the Archies in 1964, then revamped by Daisy Bang in 1967.
Heh. ::decides to do something nice for Lyra this year::

Mine fourth. Short of memorizing the almanac, it probably is the best way to cope with kids who ask too many questions.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
That one always cracked me up with the badness, just because the lyrics (God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us, from a distance) always made God sound like a creepy stalker/peeping deity.
I've always thought it made God sound kinda senile and befuddled, and not very in touch with his creations--i.e. we know the world is a shitty place, but God thinks it looks really pretty because he's just watching it from a distance. So on the handful of occasions I've heard it used/praised in a Christian context, I've been all, "Huh? Did you listen to the lyrics at all?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I love how Calvin's dad explains to him that color photography has always existed, and all photos are color. But years ago, reality was all black and white....

Yeah. At least Santa stalks us from up close.

And I wasn't meaning to pick on you, LJ. That song just struck me that way the first time I heard it, and that interpretation stuck with me.

Hee! I have no compunctions about karaoke! I always sing "Copacabana" and then usually something by Pat Benatar. Although one of my favorites was "Kiss Me Deadly" my Lita Ford. Wow, I was loaded and it was so fun to sing that!
