42 Hilarious Paper Planes (M.I.A. song) Puns

Singer M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" was meant to satirize American perceptions of immigrants, but her simultaneous condemnations of Sri Lanka's ethnic cleansing of the Tamils, coupled with the song's success, lead her music to be banned in Sri Lanka, and for her to receive death threats. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pap…

[TOMT] [SONG] Cover of M.I.A.'s paper planes. Male vocals, sort of robotic voice?

Heard it in a store once 3-5 years ago, and have had horrible luck finding it. The vocals are male and the 'all I want to do is' part is said in a sort of monotone, robot-like voice. Where the gunshot sounds are in the original, this version uses a bunch of silly/random sounds, including a guy just saying (grunting?) 'Ahh'.

I’m flattening the sole of a hand plane. One side is not touching the sand paper

I bought my first handplane, and I’m tuning it up. Stanley 5 1/4 - type 19 (the less desirable generation). I watched a bunch of YouTube on the process, including Paul Sellers, and Rex Krueger. Im using their suggested method of: wet-dry sandpaper, spray glued to a flat surface.

So there I am; flattening the sole with a full sheet of 220 grit, and using a sharpie to mark whats contacting the paper. About 30 mins into it, I get these results.

Note, the black marker on the head, tail, and a lot of one side.

Im not sure if I should continue so that all that black is gone. To answer a question I think you have: I have not decided on tuning this as a scrub plane or smoothing plane.

Thoughts?
Should i use coarser grit than 220?

Edit: 2 comments saying im done. Good enough for me

TIL that when MIA was challenged about the use of gunshot sounds in Paper Planes, she drew from her own experience and said... “Look, I’ve been shot at so I’m quite comfortable with gunshot sounds. If you have a problem with it, go and talk to the people who were shooting at me." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pap…

I'm at about level 185, and haven't been receiving anything for leveling up for awhile. But recently I've been "getting" paper planes for leveling up, despite already having the character they unlock. Just a bug?
