Here’s the original text of Shakespeare style Hokey Pokey, by Jeff Brechlin:

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within Then soon upon a backward journey lithe. Anon, once more the gesture, then begin: Command sinistral pedestal to writhe. Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke, A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl. To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke. Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl. The Hoke, the poke – banish now thy doubt Verily, I say, ‘tis what it’s all about. – by “William Shakespeare”

I’ve had this song stuck in my head off and on over the past few weeks. Your life might be better if it was in your head too.

The editors at N+1:

[O]ne man’s burden is another man’s opportunity. Student debt in the United States now exceeds $1 trillion. Like cigarette duties or state lotteries, debt-financed accreditation functions as a tax on the poor. But whereas sin taxes at least subsidize social spending, the “graduation tax” is doubly regressive, transferring funds from the young and poor to the old and affluent. The accreditors do well, and the creditors do even better. Student-loan asset-backed securities are far safer than their more famous cousins in the mortgage market: the government guarantees most of the liability, and, crucially, student loans cannot be erased by declaring bankruptcy.

Now that just about everyone is in the business of selling their time in some form, it’s important to be aware that even if something doesn’t cost you cash out of your wallet, the opportunity cost is not only real, it’s just as valuable. Not only does it cost money to say ‘no’, it costs money to say ‘yes’.

I love everything about these movies. How great is it that a hint of a taste of portion of an image from a Pixar movie can evoke an emotional response?

I love this song.

In my personal paracosm, this tune would come on in the background whenever I start working. I’d be so productive.
