I was just at my local neighborhood Borders Book store. They have these knew "Borders Recommends" signs that they put up near products that they think are good and they want people to buy. Well, as I usually do when I'm at a store that sells CDs I visited the "Weird Al" Yankovic section to check up on their stock (I don't know why I always do this!). Above the copies of Poodle Hat was a "Borders Recommends" sign with a brief description of the album. I don't remember exactly what it said, but it was pretty complimentary. The thing that stuck out to me is that the description made it sound like Al has been doing nothing for the past four years but making a new album. I'm paraphasing here:
"...Al spent four years working on his new album...bla bla bla...12 new songs...bla bla bla...enhanced CD...very funny...bla bla bla"
What do you guys think of this.

Ah, hah! I actually scribbled that recommendation down in my purse notebook a week or so ago, and forgot to post it here.

I thought it was very nice.Borders Recommends: "Weird Al" Yankovic-- Poodle Hat. Fastidious master of parody that he is, Yankovic spent four years assembling his latest witty effort. An enhanced CD, it includes not only a dozen new tracks, but also Al's Home Movies, eight bonus mixes and a photo gallery.

It's true that it is a collaborative effort. He was busy, uh... collaborating? *Ahem!*I thought about that, but childbirth is work for the women folk.
Thank you for not speculating on how much time that took out of his schedule.
Fortunately, the time-consumingness of RAISING Nina can be more evenly divided between her parents.
I mean "shared by." "Divided between" sounds like court-ordered custody, which may Heaven forfend, world without end, amen. :nervous:
