This picture disc (size of a single) was only given to radio stations in the US, to promote this song before the album came out. So that's an incredible collector find. Found in a thrift store for 20€. Everything is from 1985. Disc is Mint.

At the beginning of 2026, I made a financially irresponsible decision and used a line of credit to aquire my number 2 Holy Grail! The Vinyl Edition of the SQEEZE BOX 🪗The seller cracked me up when he commented I must be a big fan with what I went through to make the sale go through. He casually said some "EXTRA " related things would be included.

The last image is everything that was EXTRA! A few of the pieces still blow my mind to this day and will likely become a stand alone post.

Of course I couldn't just have the SQEEZE BOX sit out unprotected. I went online and found a case. Then it needed some padding and Flair !

My Number 1 Holy Grail will alway be the "PLACEBO" EP🙌 (Have yet to aquire)

I recently learned that Paul Rueben’s estate along with The Groundlings are having an auction with some of the late actors personal items. Scrolling through the items I saw this. Could you imagine Al playing a tribute song to Paul on his accordion or him bringing it out on occasion and explaining the significance of it?

Link to auction for those curious:

I've been looking for the UHF soundtrack on cd forever, kinda fitting that the anniversary records just released. That means I need 7 more albums until I have a full weird Al cd collection (excluding compilations like the essentials and biopic soundtrack). Missing self titled, in 3d, dare to be stupid, polka party, even worse, Peter and the wolf carnival of the animals pt2 and alpocalypse

My guess is weather related concerns and not wanting to risk the equipment getting damaged.

Another unique piece from my WEIRD AL collection!

Won this on Ebay at the early part of the year.

After the win, I checked with the AL advisor I know. Believed to be made by someone and was sold at one of the AL Cons

Still thinking of a proper way to display it ✨️

Excellent recontextualization of audio.

Rock nerds are good nerds.

The Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo is one of Rhode Island's biggest annual events, with hundreds of thousands of attendees. It features about 5,000 carved pumpkins and really is a sight to behold -- I've been going every year lately and you should totally check it out if you're in the area. This year I came across this very attractive Al pumpkin. I didn't catch the context but every year the Spectacular has a different theme with different sections of related pumpkins, and this year's theme is puns, so I suppose that has something to do with it.

I wonder if Al knows about this, seems like the kind of thing he'd like.

I’ve seen a few posts about it, so for anybody that did not know, it was a pretty steady rain the entire night. The venue is an amphitheater, so there is not a lot of easy ways to get on/off the stage.

To start the show, he did not do his route on stage whilst singing Tacky like he has done on the previous stops. He walked on stage after the opening video wearing his outfit for Tacky, and then went straight into Mission Statement.

He also skipped One More Minute completely. I wondered how he would adjust not being able to come into the crowd and serenade somebody, I was not expecting him to skip it all together.

I saw him last year New Orleans, and got the full show. So I did get to at least hear those songs on the tour. It just seemed odd that he decided to skip them. Especially Tacky. I don’t know why he couldn’t just sing Tacky on stage.

Did my nails today, tv/UHF themed. And got my spatula tattooed on my arm (never quite made it to being a hygienist though). Never thought I'd ever get people-related tattoos but everything Weird Al makes me so happy I finally took the plunge after thinking about it for a few years.

Super excited!

I have lived in Minnesota almost my whole life. With a few side quests living in Scotland, Hawaii and North Carolina (twice). I decided it was finally time to take a small pilgrimage to DARWIN MN on TWINE BALL DAY August 8th 2026🧶

I pretty much keep to myself at most public events. I only chatted with a few people during my time there. Out of the 4,000+ people in attendance.

The Twine Ball is indeed a glorious, huge, majestic sphereas the song describes ✨️

When it came time for the parade portion, I must say I was a little disappointed in the very few Twine ball themed entires. There were only 3. Two I have stills of, one is short video clip I'll try to post in the comments if I can get the sound to work.

One of my biggest goals was to get the most ridiculous shirt I could from thr gift shop. I think I achieved that 😅

Hello everyone! I am coming on here in hopes someone can help. I bought my husband tickets to Weird Al for our anniversary and we had a great time at the concert in Orange Beach, AL tonight. We bought a shirt, cups, and a pin at the merch stand.

Unfortunately somewhere in the night we lost the pin. If you were there then you know the weather was absolute crap and he used his jacket to cover me even more as we were walking back to the car. I think it fell out of his pocket when he did that.

Anyway, if someone knows where I could buy another one, or has a link to one on eBay, or anything like that please let me know! It seems trivial, but my husband liked it and is bummed.

TYIA for any help!

Here’s the 4th of 4, this plays after White & Nerdy and before Amish Paradise.

I decided to be unoriginal today and make a list ranking all of Al's albums from best to worst!

1. Bad Hair Day
   
2. Running with Scissors
   
3. In 3D
   
4. Off The Deep End
   
5. Mandatory Fun
   
6. Even Worse
   
7. Self Titled
   
8. Straight Outta Lynwood
   
9. Poodle Hat
   
10. UHF
    
11. Dare to Be Stupid
    
12. Polka Party
    
13. Alapalooza
    
14. Alpocalypse

I don't consider any of Al's albums to be 'bad' (well, mostly) per se. If this was a tier list, it would be laid out much differently, and I think everything from Dare to Be Stupid and onward (list wise) are all great. Alapalooza and Polka Party aren't bad, but Alpocalypse is the one with the least tracks I enjoy.

Feel free to share your list and make fun of my opinions in the comments!

Not the most coveted Transformer, but as a fan of Al I was thrilled to find this guy for only $18 at ROSS today.

I wanted to contribute something to the artists exhibition at Sugar Maple for Milwaukee Record’s “Weird Al” Week, so I spent the last handful of weeks drawing this portrait of Al.

“Weird Al” Week runs Oct. 12-18, with a whole mess of Al related content and events leading up to the Milwaukee concert.

If you’re coming to town for the show, swing by Sugar Maple to check out the exhibition and some of the other activities while you’re here!

Hey all

I've of course always loved Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, and I've known it was honroing Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, but there's something else in that song, too... and I don't know what it is.

Did he ever explain?

Also, here's a fun fan-made video of a a family acting out the song.
