Ha ha! (a la Nelson)
I actually watched the end of the correspondent’s dinner on C-SPAN last night during SNL commercial breaks. I only caught the part where Colbert was running from Helen Thomas, and that was pretty humorous indeed.
“An obviously offended target”
357 with a bayonet
If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Wes Anderson’s American Express commercial.
(Well… that actually seems to be a longer version. But you get the idea.)
I’m sure it’s just produced for the ad, but now I want to see that movie.
“Rotoscopascopascopa”
Watch this. One of my VV employees made it.
Ari, v.3.0
And in related news, Tony Snow’s job stayed exactly the same.
Whisper words of wisdom
How sad: TV seance claims to have reached John Lennon.
How fitting: I was just listening to “Let It Be”. Take a hint, jackasses.
I’m a senior…
Some early pictures of Hey Day. I’ll explain more and put them in a real album when my head doesn’t hurt so badly.

Who, exactly, is under the delusion that these things work, especially north of the Mason-Dixon?
Huh. I wonder who.
Regarding the rules of a BE 350-themed drinking game:
PC: every time schotland puts his hand with the chalk to his chin…
CL: i never noticed that actually
PC: you know, when he pauses and thinks. the back of his hand to his chin
PC: sorta hunches over
PC: lessee… every time [name excised] asks a question, and prefaces it with “i have a question”
CL: everytime [name excised] looks to the rest of the class after asking his question
CL: that’s two drinks
Sounds like a plan to me. But it happens so often, I think we’d end up in the ER.
Come on, monsters!
Metafilter links to the great intersections of pop music artists and Sesame Street over the years, notably including the enjoyable and hilarious R.E.M. appearance in “Furry Happy Monsters”, and the fantastically clever “Letter B” (by The Beetles, of course)..
By the way, who knew Muppets were so borderline? (Or maybe bipolar… I need to study for my abnormal exam, I guess. 
)
