Strength and flexibility training help keep you active for longer and reduce the negative impact of short periods of major illness on your body. An old dude who's used to running a mile a day can get pneumonia, be in bed on a ventilator for two days, get extubated, and be back on his feet by dinner... which means his lungs open up faster, his bowels start moving sooner, his joints don't lock up, and his vasculature is less likely to degrade.

Cardio keeps you alive for much, much longer, because it prepares your body to cope with decreased blood flow (from heart attacks and short-term acute illness), maintains the flexibility and fitness of your vasculature (heart attacks, strokes, and other vascular damage are easily the #1 killer and old-people-disabler), and helps your organs learn to function under stress so they don't fail as easily.

Getting exercise is a direct indicator of how much time you spend outside your house-- having adventures, meeting people, engaging in daily self-care, overcoming inertia, exercising self-discipline, and connecting to your body. Incidentally, swordfighting (like most other fulfilling life activities) requires practice, which involves weightlifting and exercise.

If you are active and you regularly pursue difficult physical goals, you are much more likely to live longer and be healthier and more happy during your extended lifespan. The guy from that post who did all the swordfighting and traveling and poo poo but never exercised, that guy is in the nursing home because he had a series of disabling strokes and can't remember his foreign ex-lover's face or even pop a boner. The guy who worked out is in the nursing home because he's visiting a family member.

Song parody stuff is really only funny for like a line or two and even then it has to be perfect. Goons trying to Weird Al an entire Beatles song around World of Warcraft is almost always universally unbearable.

Weird Al's satirical songs that aren't direct parodies hold up pretty well imo.

Stare-Out posted:

True sign of the genius of Weird Al when you're listening to the actual song and start singing along only the lyrics you're spouting are actually from the Weird Al parody instead of the actual lyrics.

Prime example: Lose Yourself by Eminem.

Best versions of Smells Like Teen Spirit
1. Weird Al Parody
2. The Top of the Pops version where Kurt croons the song like he's some random dude doing a drunk karaoke version of his own song.
3. Smells Like Teen Spirit

That Top of the Pops performance is goddamn awesome.

Also, Weird Al can rap surprisingly well, while simultaneously sounding incredibly dorky.

He’s actually rapping pretty good on it, it’s crazy…He’s Grammy-nominated, man. He goes platinum. It’s really an honor when he does that. I remember when he redid Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad.’ Weird Al is not gonna do a parody of your song if you’re not doing it big. You gotta be a big dog. He shot the video, and people will see it pretty soon. It’s crazy.

He’s spittin’ just like Krayzie Bone on the second verse…It’s actually very funny if you listen to what he’s saying. The way Krayzie is harmonizing, he does the same thing. It surprised me. I didn’t know he could rap like that.

Scaramouche posted:

Even rappers like Al's smooth flow:

Paladinus posted:

Weird Al's best songs are the ones that are in style of different artists and not direct parodies. He can make a very recognisable songs in style of anything from Queen to Rage Against the Machine, and they are good even without the funny lyrics.
Also, polka medleys are great.

Holy poo poo, there still exists at least one. That first second was pretty much on all online videos before youtube.
