YorkU on Strike? Here's something uh, different.

A few weeks back, a friend and I were in a bit of a spot. We were talking about the future of the world and other larger than life matters. Of course, I'm just lying because that never happened. However, we did manage to create a cheap and dirty spoof on the Christmas song, The 12 Days of Christmas. I thought it would be fitting to share that song here. Especially since this was supposed to be a class blog.

Of course the Strike has hit Day 14, but that's beside the point. We made this before the strike and now it's complete. It probably would have been up on the 12th day if we finished it, but we got stuck. So I sent it around and had another friend help out with one of the verses.

This is a complete change from the 'class lecture notes' that I have been posting. But I realised that meh! Who cares! How about something different?

So here it is, and remember, this is one big joke. Not the strike, the song spoof. I'm still quite undecided about the whole strike situation as I can't seem to get enough information about it.
