Insomania (which I'm having right now this minute) causes me to catch misspeakings instead of misspellings -- just recently I was (attempting) to have this little informal talk to some people, nothing fancy, just talking about something we all had a common interest in, but still, it was a TALK, not just idle musings, and I had prepared and everything, and I needed to use the word "slideshow" a few times, and each time, I said "sideshow" instead. I sailed on by the first flub pretty easily, but the second time I laughed some and rolled my eyes, which caused other people to laugh some, and the third time, I screamed and whooped and beat on the table because I was seeing bearded ladies and three-headed snakes and sword swallowers and stuff, and it caught on like wildfire and we had to stop the meeting because it was impossible to restore order.
Oh yeah, this is totally unrelated, but since I'm here, I was thinking about poor old Michael Jackson and I remembered these two great tributes to him --
Steve Martin's brilliant "Billie Jean" parody:

and "Thinner," Lenny Henry's great sendup of "Thriller":

And, of course, there's the Indian version of Thriller:
