I love a happy ending
I know, I know, their story isn’t over yet, but I think it’s amazing how many adverse situations this couple went through to be together AND achieve their professional goals. I wish them all the best.
How to be alone
Here’s a great short film about how to be on your own. I love my own company, and I can’t always stand to be around other people. A lot of people I know can’t do anything on their own, which I think is sad, but the next time somebody asks me why I like to go off on my own, I’m going to show him or her this video.
Dr. Kiko to the rescue
Kiko is actually a dog, and not a doctor at all, but when he noticed that his owner’s big toe was infected, he did what any reasonable pet would: waited for the man to pass out in a drunken stupor, and then ate the infected toe. That part’s gross. Still, his actions were probably motivated by his greater sense of smell and intelligence (who walks around for a month with an infected toe???), and he saved the dude’s life, which is awesome. Still…
This story has been turning my stomach since I first read about it, but I thought that I shouldn’t have to suffer alone. You’re welcome.
Bureaucracy at its finest
Only paper-pushers would demand the VIN for a chariot operated by King Tut. The bumbling of bureaucrats knows no bounds. That’s actually only a small part of this article about exhibiting the chariot in Times Square, but it’s probably what will stick with me the longest.
Do NOT mess with the cheerleader
It’s amazing enough that a 16 year old girl was able to tackle and subdue a shoplifter, but the fact that she did it in a strapless dress is, to me, by far the craziest part of this story.
Sometimes it pays to have bad taste
This unattractive King James pendant, which a LeBron James fan bought at a yard sale for $5.00, is actually worth $10,000. Do you feel sick now? I know I do.
I hear that yard sales are fun, I’m going to start attending them. My plan is to stick closely to the costume jewelry section.
Update: Was the pendant stolen?
If I were a famous singer, I’d do this all the time
Good on Funny or Die for coming up with this video, which was pretty entertaining. Jewel, disguised as frumpy, mild-mannered Karen, absolutely kills at karaoke doing songs by…Jewel. Love it!
Good food for a good cause
I hope you’re hungry, North Jersey. Today, Wednesday July 14, 2010, Blue Moon Mexican Cafe of Englewood is hosting a fundraiser for the Englewood Public Library. In order for the library to benefit from your excellent taste in restaurants, you must present the following flyer. It’s good for the entire day, and for eat-in, delivery, or carryout orders. Help the library!
Here’s a link to the flyer by itself, without any text from this post.
Update: Future Husband Isaiah Mustafa, AKA the Old Spice Guy, says a few words about libraries:
Pattern recognition
That video has always been my favorite moment from The Price is Right (Drew Carey’s lack of enthusiasm notwithstanding), and it’s nice to know the story (or stories) behind it. I think it’s kind of cool that people not named Terry or Ted will probably never know exactly what happened that day.
Lie Blog: Does what it says on the tin
I decided to stop picking on Fox News for a while (since that was unintentional anyway), and link to Lie Blog, which is completely honest about its dishonesty.
