"Good morning, John, it's Wednesday, May 9th. We're going to start with the good news, and we're going to move to the bad news. The good news is that I have officially accepted your challenge! A friend of mine, who you may all recognize as the other guy from 'Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone (From Your Pants)', has suggested that it would indeed be a good thing for me to write a song every two weeks. It's not Jonathan Coulton, but it's as good as I can do. Every time it's my Wednesday, I sing a song. The song I am about to perform is something I have written for a guy who worked really hard, and got to see some of the results from his work, but not all of them, because he has now passed his legacy on.

[Song]
The day that you died was a good day,
Hundreds of people wished you on your way,
Neil Gaiman wrote about you on his blog,
and you and your girl ate mini corn dogs

Oh, goodbye 26-year-old me,
You made a lot of money and got a masters degree,
and you married a girl we adore,
But now I reap the rewards

Oh, thank you for all your hard work, Hank
Your bank account swelled a lot before it shrank,
But you could have worked maybe a little bit harder,
Yeah, I could have used a few more thousand dollars

Oh, goodbye 26-year-old me,
You made a lot of money and got a masters degree,
and you married a girl we adore,
But now I reap the rewards

You watched a lot of people get married,
John and Sarah, John and Amy,
Ethan and Sarah, Jason and Ashley,
Holy crap, I bet they'll all have babies.

Oh, goodbye 26-year-old me,
You made a lot of money and got a masters degree,
and you married a girl we adore,
But now I reap the rewards,
But now I reap the rewards,
Yeah, now I reap the rewards

The day that you died was a good day

I hope you all enjoyed that, because now I have bad news. Today, we introduce a new feature into Brotherhood 2.0. We're adding this feature under less-than-ideal circumstances. Brotherhood 2.0 viewer Travis Bond has created the Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck's Worldsuck Index, which you can also find on the left hand sidebar, and unfortunately, the Worldsuck Index is debuting at Suck level red. This is because Brotherhood 2.0 viewer Danny Chow has just lost his best friend. Danny's friend, Randy, recently beat cancer, but has now died of pneumonia, and I think it's safe to say that this has increased Suck levels pretty dramatically for Danny, and for Randy's family. So, for the next two weeks, all donations to the Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck will be donated to Randy's family. John, I'll see you tomorrow."
