Take today for example. After writing earlier about the death of Paul Tanner and his electro-theramin instrument heard on the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," I got the urge to watch the video, so went to You Tube, always a mistake when it comes to time as one thing leads to another.
OK, I got the video up. By the way, Mike Love played the electro-theramin on stage. Well, of course, what's better than one Beach Boy performance? So then, there were many others, including "Surfer Girl," "California Girls," "Wendy" and "Little Deuce Coupe."
One mean thing You Tube does is put other things on the page that you might want to see. Well, that led to John Prine's "In Spite of Ourselves" with some of the funniest pictures I've ever seen. And then, "Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian."
Then, the Fratellis and about ten of their videos. I wrote about them yesterday in connection with the streak of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Then the Donald Duck "Window Washer" cartoon which, wost of all led to "A Christmas Story." My favorite-ever Christmas movie. This one really took a lot of time. I started with "A Christmas Story: The Documentary" where two fans go to the grand-opening of the house in Cleveland and visit a lot of the filming sites.
Then there were two parts of Behind the Scenes :The Christmas Story Parts 1 and 2. And then "A Christmas Story Cast Reunion" on the Voice.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

"A Christmas Story" Legal Battle
From the Dec. 19, 2012, Yahoo! Movies Hollywood Reporter.
Zack Ward from "A Christmas Story" has found out recently about how much money is being made in merchandising the 1983 movie. Most of the other actors signed contracts regarding merchandising royalties except him as his part was originally intended to be very minor, but was increased during filming. He is not and has filed a legal suit against Warner Brothers, who made the movie.
In case you're wondering what role Ward had, he was Scott "Skutt" Fakes, the bully, who made Ralphie's life pretty miserable until until the meltdown beat-up.
In November 2010, he was at the annual "Christmas Story" charity fundraiser in Cleveland and was shocked when a fan handed him a "Christmas Story" board game with his face on it. The playing cards for the game also had his face on them. Then, there was a calendar and other items.
Go, You Old Bully!! You Should be Paid for Ralphie's Beat-Up On You. --RoadDog
WHAT SHE SAYS AND WHAT SHE MEANS: Do you love me? = I'm going to ask for something expensive.
