"It Is To Laff" is a series of funny mashup albums I've been arranging every so often. They give us bootleggers a chance to express ourselves in a humourous way, something most of us NEVER do. The results have been completely wacky, but rather popular. You can find the previous 3 volumes available

Accomplished home producer AtoZ
( dmrofatoz.blogspot.com/ )
helped me with the 3rd volume to such fine effect, I asked him to helm this new volume. I got more than I expected, as he dropped track after track of hi-larious audio nuttiness, as well as collecting super funny tracks from me, DJ Rudec, Voicedude, Gladilord, Chocomang, Alex H, DJ Dumpz, & Lenlow.
I did the mastering, & final production, with AtoZ co-ordinating all else, including providing all artwork. The tunes on this collection veer from proper music to completely bizarre, all accompanied by amusing vocals, & samples. AtoZ's role was intended to fill in for me during long absences I had last year. Unfortunately, he encountered setbacks of his own which delayed the release considerably. That's the way it goes, sometimes, I guess.
When this single was released it was the longest song to enter the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 4 weeks at number-one in 1972. What is the title of this song where them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye?
The peanut, also known as the groundnut, goober (US), or monkey nut (UK), and taxonomically classified as Arachis hypogaea, is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and, due to its high oil content, an oil crop. Atypically among legume crop plants, peanut pods develop underground (geocarpy) rather than above ground. With this characteristic in mind, the botanist Carl Linnaeus named the species hypogaea, which means "under the earth".
In 2017, world production of peanuts (reported as groundnuts in shells) was 47 million tonnes, led by China with 36% of the global total, followed by India (20%). Other significant producers were the United States, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Sudan. Major exporters in 2017 were India with 601,849 tonnes, which accounts for 32% of world total exports (1.9 million tonnes), and the United States with 16% of total exports.

• Cellist Pablo Casals was born and grew up in Catalonia. While on tour in the United States, he visited the territory of New Mexico. While walking in the desert, Mr. Casals and pianist Léon Moreau came across a cabin. The cabin's owner, who was dressed like a cowboy, greeted them. Mr. Casals noticed his accent, and he asked the man where he was from. "It's a country you never heard of," the man said. "Catalonia." Mr. Casals enjoyed seeing and learning new things. To understand the life of coal miners in the United States, Mr. Casals and Mr. Moreau went down into a mineshaft in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. When Mr. Casals and Mr. Moreau reached the surface again, it was time for their concert, which they gave while still covered with coal dust.
• Despite being born in Boston, George Copeland played Spanish music very well and even lived in Spain; however, he abandoned his Spanish villa just before a revolutionary war broke out. He had a good reason. One morning, he discovered one of his Loyalist servants on the patio. More specifically, he found the servant's head - the rest of the servant was nowhere to be found.
• When choreographer Anthony Tudor first came to the United States, he arrived on Columbus Day. All the banks were closed and no bonds had been posted, so he was forced to remain on Ellis Island that night. Fortunately, he enjoyed the company he found there.

• Some people have the money but not necessarily the intelligence to attend significant musical events. A truly intelligent pianist, Denis Matthews, once overheard this during a program conducted by Arturo Toscanini: "When is Toscanini coming on? Don't tell me he is only the conductor!" By the way, Mr. Matthews played piano for the British armed forces during World War II. During a blackout, an old woman saw him and some other musicians. She saw that they were wearing uniforms, and supposing that the instruments many of the musicians were holding were lethal weapons of war, told them, "That's right, lads - give them hell!"
• When opera singer Maria Callas was a young girl, she sometimes got caught lying, so her mother used to punish her in accordance with an old Greek custom - she put pepper on young Maria's lips. By the way, Maria's Uncle Filon was a saboteur for the Greeks during World War II. He worked as an engineer at an air base for the Nazis, and he managed to destroy nine German airplanes by putting sugar in their gas tanks. The Nazis discovered what he was doing, so he had to flee for his life. After the war, the Communists who tried to take over Greece killed him.
• To protest war, artist David Smith created a series of Medals for Dishonor - bronze medallions with anti-war imagery. Because the public supported World War II, it disliked the medallions, but that didn't bother Mr. Smith: "Never sold a one. But I would rather have the approval of other artists and critics than monetary sales reward."
I now have the Tiny Pricks Project 2020 calendar--Desperate times, creative measures. "Contributors from around the world are stitching 45's words into textiles, creating the material record of his presidency and of the movement against it."

Two very tall men - one of whom is even taller in heels - will make their Saturday Night Live debuts next month. First up, NFL superstar JJ Watt will host the Feb. 1 episode (NBC, 11:30/10:30c), joined by first-time musical guest Luke Combs.
The Feb. 8 episode, meanwhile, is looking to be a straight-up extravaganza with RuPaul sashaying into Studio 8H for the first time. (Seriously, how has that not happened before?) The host of RuPaul's Drag Race, who also currently stars in Netflix's AJ and the Queen, will be joined by musical guest Justin Bieber, who has already graced the SNL stage twice. Bieber first appeared as Tina Fey's musical guest in April 2010, then returned to pull double duty in Feb. 2013.
As previously announced, SNL's first new episode of 2020 - airing Saturday, Jan. 25 - will be hosted by Marriage Story's Adam Driver, marking his third time as host. Likewise, Halsey will return for her third appearance as the episode's musical guest.
Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that he is battling a form of Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The rock icon, known as the "Prince of Darkness," shared his diagnosis for the first time with Good Morning America on Tuesday.
Osbourne said everything changed after he suffered a "bad fall" last February. The fall required him to have surgery on his neck, which led to nerve damage and his Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Symptoms generally develop slowly over years, and there is no cure, according to the Parkinson's Foundation.
He was diagnosed with a mild form of the disease called "PRKN 2," according to his wife Sharon Osbourne. Due to his neck injury, doctors have had a hard time distinguishing which of Osbourne's symptoms are due to the surgery, and which are due to his Parkinson's disease.
Osbourne said he suffers from nerve pain that causes numbness in his arm, and a feeling that his legs are "going cold" that has made it difficult to walk.
Former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson has tied the knot for a fifth time, to hairdresser-turned-Hollywood mogul Jon Peters.
The actress and animal rights activist wed "Batman" producer Peters on Monday, more than three decades after the pair first dated.
"They were married yesterday in a private ceremony in Malibu. They love each other very much," a source connected to the couple told AFP.
Canadian-born Anderson, 52, has previously been married to rockers Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. She twice wed professional poker player Rick Salomon.
Peters, 74, a former hair stylist, rose to Hollywood prominence after a high-profile romance with Barbra Streisand, going on to produce her 1976 version of "A Star Is Born."
The wreck of the Titanic is to be protected by a new international treaty between the UK and the US.
The remains of the ship, which sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic in 1912, will be treated with "sensitivity and respect", according to maritime minister Nusrat Ghani.
The treaty gives the UK and the US the power to grant or deny licences to enter sections of the sunken ship's hull and remove artefacts.
A diving expedition last summer revealed Titanic is starting to collapse.
The Titanic had previously been granted a "basic level of protection" by Unesco, but this is the first time it is covered by explicit legislation, according to the Department for Transport.
Planned Parenthood on Tuesday endorsed a Democratic challenger to Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, saying Collins "turned her back" on women and citing her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court as well as other judicial nominees who oppose abortion.
Sara Gideon, speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, welcomed the endorsement from the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. "There's never been a more important time to stand up for reproductive rights," she said, in the face of "systematic attacks on reproductive rights across the country.
Collins, who was honored by Planned Parenthood as recently as 2017 as "an outspoken champion for women's health," is facing perhaps the toughest reelection fight of her career. Critics have vowed they won't forget her key vote for Kavanaugh, whose nomination survived an accusation that he sexually assaulted someone in high school.
"From her decisive vote to confirm Kavanaugh to her refusal to stop Republican attacks on our health and rights, it's clear that she has turned her back on those she should be championing," said Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president and CEO of Planned Parenthood . She said Collins "has abandoned not only the people of Maine, but women across the country."
The endorsement was one of several announced Tuesday, the day before the anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal. The Planned Parenthood Action Fund also is backing Democrat Jaime Harrison, who's seeking to unseat GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Democrat Barbara Bollier, who's running for an open Senate seat in Kansas.
Arctic sea ice cannot "quickly bounce back" if climate change causes it to melt, new research suggests.
A team of scientists led by the University of Exeter used the shells of quahog clams, which can live for hundreds of years, and climate models to discover how Arctic sea ice has changed over the last 1,000 years.
They found sea ice coverage shifts over timescales of decades to centuries - so shrinking ice cannot be expected to return rapidly if climate change is slowed or reversed.
The study examined whether past ice changes north of Iceland were "forced" (caused by events such as volcanic eruptions and variations in the sun's output) or "unforced" (part of a natural pattern).
At least a third of past variation was found to be "forced" - showing the climate system is "very sensitive" to such driving factors, according to lead author Dr Paul Halloran, of the University of Exeter.
Poland's president will skip a high-profile Holocaust forum in Jerusalem on Thursday after being denied the chance to make a speech there as Warsaw struggles to counter false Russian claims about Poland's role in World War II.
The forum at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial centre will mark 75 years since the Soviet Red Army liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau German death camp, an enduring symbol of the Holocaust where the Nazis killed more than 1.1 million people.
Co-organised by a close Kremlin ally, the event will notably be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, French President Emmanuel Macron, and US Vice President Mike Pence, who have been given the chance to speak.
The forum is seen as rivalling the official ceremony marking the war anniversary on January 27 at the site of the former death camp in the southern Polish city of Oswiecim, where Polish President Andrzej Duda is expected to make an address.
Last month Putin provoked an outcry after he made the false claim that Poland had colluded with Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler and contributed to the outbreak of World War II.
A 70-kilometer-wide (43-mile) impact structure in the Australian Outback has been dated to 2.2 billion years old, making it the oldest known asteroid crater on Earth. Fascinatingly, this asteroid likely plunged into a massive ice sheet, triggering a global-scale warming period.
New research published today in Nature Communications confirms the Yarrabubba crater in western Australia as the oldest accepted impact crater on Earth. At an estimated 2.229 billion years old, it's nearly 210 million years older than the 200-kilometer-wide (120-mile) Vredefort Dome in South Africa and 380 million years older than the 180-kilometer-wide (112-mile) Sudbury impact structure in Ontario, Canada.
The first author of the new study, Timmons Erickson from NASA Johnson Space Center and Curtin University in Australia, along with his colleagues, also presented evidence suggesting the 7-kilometer-wide asteroid that formed the Yarrabubba crater hit a massive ice sheet, sending tremendous amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere and potentially warming the climate around the globe.
The Yarrabubba crater was previously known to scientists, but the structure had not been dated with confidence due to several factors, such as its extreme age, the steady accumulation of overlaying geological materials, and its remote location in western Australia. Previous dating efforts were wide ranging, extending from 1.1 billion to 2.6 billion years old. In 2003, the team that first identified the structure as being an ancient impact crater provided one possible age at around 2.23 billion years old, but they believed this to be an anomalous figure. Turns out this estimate was pretty much spot on, according to the new research.
To date the structure, Erickson and his colleagues analyzed shocked minerals pulled from the base of the heavily eroded crater. Specifically, they looked at zircon and monazite that were recrystallized by the shock of the impact, hence the term "shocked minerals."
