Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for February 15, 2020

And this is how you remind me? Blech.

Well, you apparently have a lot of company. Not me, but still, a lot of company.

Huh?

Come on, now. Nickelback has some pretty good songs.

What?!? What a horrible person!!! We need to shame her on the internet for all eternity! /s

If they didn’t LOOK like a Metallica cover band, they would get better reviews.

Their concerts are phun, from what I remember.

They’re laughing all of the way to the bank, so obviously she is far from being alone. My wife is a HUGE fan.

Off with his head, quoth The Queen Of Hearts.

There are far worse bands out there.

I like Nickelback too. I think the reason they get so much flack is their universal appeal. Your average grandma can rock out to one of their songs with a “These boys are pretty decent. Who are they again? Nickelback? Nickelbroke would have been a better name. Get it? Ain’t got a nickel: nickel broke. Ha! Ha!”

Nickleback. This sounds like Hawaii Container recycling. When you purchase cans or bottles of drinkable liquid you pay a premium of 6¢ for each container. When you empty them you collect them and bring them to a recycling center where are you get 5¢ for each container returned. Of course, you have to separate the cans from the bottles and then separate bottles by color in order to redeem them. It’s called HI 5. You get a Nickelback.

Victoria has weird secrets.

Some secrets should never be told.

I’ve always thought Victoria was never very good at hiding her secrets.

I went to see a concert for $0.45. It was 50 Cent, featuring Nickelback.

Amazing how you Yanks complain about Nickelback but not Knucklebrain.
