Massachusetts comedy sensation Bo Burnham has a new video:
There's an art display in the Student Union Gallery at UMass that's supposed to also be a murder mystery. Personally I couldn't figure out how it works. The exhibit is called "A Travesty of Termination in a Mangled Mannor." The art is by grad student Geoffrey Miller with help from some of his friends. The pictures of the murder suspects are drawn on the wall.
A table is set up rather formally for a main course that apparently requires a full bottle of ketchup per diner. Heinz ketchup. During the 2004 presidential campaign I gave up Heinz so as not to give any money to John Kerry's wife. Once Kerry went down to defeat I resumed buying Heinz. Hey, what can I say? It really is the best ketchup even if it does put coin in the pocket of a leftist shrew.
There is a mirror on the wall that greatly distorts the room.
The exhibit is running until the 28th, so there's still a little time left to check it out. Maybe you can make more sense of it than I did.
Murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner.

In Amherst they drive funny cars, such as this zebramobile I came across the other night downtown.
The King of Frogs paid a visit to my neighbor's front porch recently. He didn't say much, but his psychedelic costume was fabulous.

Thanks for turning Nicky and Me on to Bo Burnham. IS there a name for the genre of self-effacing, ironic, talky songs he and the guys in Flight of the Conchords (sp?) perform? Is Bo Burnham in prep school?
I don't know what the genre is called, but there's a long tradition of that kind of comedy. Bo is a student at St. John's Academy, a prestigious prep school.
