Ending Theme Lyrics for Crayon Shin Chan, English

Woke up late this morning
A storm was really rollin’
Frogs and dogs were raining from the sky
Everything seems awkward to me
Nothing’s just as it should be
If this keeps on I’m sure I won’t get by

 

But then I close my eyes and try to smile
I know things are bad and getting worse
But after all this I can rest awhile
And then I’ll party party

 

Party Party Join us Join us
Party Party Join us Join us
Party Party Join us Join us
Shake your day away and you can
Party Party Join us Join us
Party Party Join us Join us
Party Party Join us Join us
Shake your blues away

 

Yo Reggae vacation Mon
This party’s shakin’
and it ain’t just shakin’ me here
I see that smile
You’re grinnin’ ear to ear
Sing this song
And you should really sing it clear
Just sing along with us

 

Party Party Join us Join us
Party Party Join us Join us
Party Party Join us Join us
Shake your day away and you can
PARTY PARTY
PARTY PARTY
PARTY PARTY

Lineup for the week: Monday ---------- Hour one: Abine has created a subscription service called "Delete Me" that removes people's information from the web!

Computer America Show line up for the week of 10 September, 2012

Monday ---------- Hour one: Atek. Hear all about Sizester. More ways to open an image on the canvas for resizing: that's more special than it sounds, because for example, you can't right click copy an image file attachment icon in Outlook email and paste into Microsoft Paint, but you can with Sizester because Sizester opens files just about any way possible. More ways to resize physical dimensions (pixels): drag corner, drag slider, enter percentage, enter pixels, crop, and can resize multiple images as a batch/group. Users can use image quality (resolution) to control file size and with barely any impact on actual quality: users can reduce file size by reducing quality with slider or by directly inputting a specific image file size in KB, but Sizester really stands out as far as maintaining image quality - for example, there is no quality loss if the same image is resized several times! Visit the Sizester website Monday ---------- Hour two: Craig and Ben do Computer and Technology News and answer your computer questions! Tuesday ---------- Both Hours: It's Gamer Tuesday! Joining us is Computer America's Gamer Correspondent - Grayson Hamilton. Grayson is pursuing a career in video game journalism.

"Jesus Is Watching You"

A burglar broke into a house one night.
He shined his flashlight around,
looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,
'Jesus knows you're here.'

He nearly jumped out of his skin,
clicked his flashlight off, and froze.

When he heard nothing more,
after a bit, he shook his head and
continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so
he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he
heard 'Jesus is watching you.'

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically,
looking for the source of the voice.

Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight
beam came to rest on a parrot.

'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.

'Yep', the parrot confessed, then squawked,
'I'm just trying to warn you that he is
watching you.'

The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you ?'

'Moses,' replied the bird.

'Moses?' the burglar laughed.
'What kind of people would name a bird
Moses?'

'The kind of people that would name a
Rottweiler Jesus.'

Computer America Show line up for the week of 3 September, 2012

Monday ---------- It's Labor Day and there's no live show. Please enjoy a "Best of Computer America" program and we'll see you LIVE tomorrow! Have a Happy Labor Day weekend from all of us here at Computer America! Tuesday ---------- Hour one: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes and detects malware that even the biggest AV apps fail to...in fact, all of the big AV company tech support departments recommend Malwarebytes to their customers in addition to their own AV software. That's because Malwarebytes is not a replacement for anti-virus technology because you need both to properly protect your PC. So, just like having a seatbelt to be safe on the road isn't enough anymore, you need two different technologies, the seatbelt AND the airbag, to properly defend yourself in your car. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware catches the zero day, polymorphic and malware in the wild that standard AV technologies were not built to handle.
