Please, Please let it go

Ok, I know everyone is at best disgusted by Tiger Woods’ infidelity and betrayal, and at the very least awed by the shear number of mistresses. But come on people. It’s time to let it go.

An Open Letter to the Bankers of America…

(Not to be confused or in any way referring to Bank of America, of course.)

My deepest condolences on your recent loss. I know how much Dee Regulation meant to you, and I know that this is, indeed, a difficult time for you, as it is for us all. Try to think of the good times you shared…

The Ballad of Paul and David

Well, Ham Fans, it’s official. All my wildest dreams are coming true. Not the one about immeasurable wealth. No, not total world domination. No, but that’s a good guess, too. Still, it’s definitely worth a post of its own. The newsworld is buzzing and I guess you could say I am, too.

Hamarama Poll

Hey, all you loyal, faithful, and true hamarama.com readers. I’ve created this nice little poll for you. Not only will you be helping me with my next project, but it gives you, the public, a chance to interact with us. Won’t that be lovely? The topic, of course, is music. I want to know what you think is the WORST COVER of all time (think Celine Dion’s cover of “You Shook Me All Night Long”…I really wish I made that up). I’ll give you a week and then I will unveil the results in a countdown of sorts. Have fun, but be honest. After all, honesty IS the best policy…right after “you do NOT talk about fight club.” Just click the link below and happy polling.

 Love,

Polythene Ham

For next week’s post, I want your feedback. Which the worst cover ever done?(polls)

An Open Letter to Kings Place and Twitter regarding your Haiku competition

Hello, from America! Land of the Lost, Home of the Monkees (well, you know, except for Davy Jones), Birthplace of Monopoly®.

I recently learned that you were holding a haiku contest for commuters to Kings Cross Station in London. And I hear YOKO ONO is one of the judges!! Blimey, it’s a good thing I found out when I did! As Hamarama.com’s resident music guru, I pride myself on keeping up with all the latest music gen. Since Yoko Ono is the widow of one of most brilliant musicians of all time (John Lennon), and is a musician as well, then this is absolutely within my jurisdiction.

New Music Reviews for May 19, 2009

Hey, Ham Fans!!! OMG…Guess what!!! It’s Tuesday and the new music releases are out! And who but your beloved Polythene Ham has the scoop? Well, probably lots of people. But nowhere will you find a review quite as cunning or super-awesome. That’s right, I said it. Before this becomes a complete love fest, let’s get down to business. No, silly, not THAT business.

Music Review with Polythene Ham: Part Deux

Hey, Ham Fans!!! Please accept my deepest and sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence from Hamarama.com. That H1N1 stuff don’t play! But I’m all better now and ready to catch you up on all the latest music reviews from the past weeks. Get ready for blasts from the past this week as well!

Windows Live Writer

Hey everybody! Back today with a software review. With me being the Windows 7 fan that I am I mess around with all the cool things that I never used before, and one thing that is included in the Windows Essential pack is Windows Live Writer, a program that makes it insanely easier to post to your blog. Before you turn around and say ‘but I don’t have 7 yet’ be aware it is also out there for Windows XP and Vista. Read on for a full review!
