If you have a soul at all, get ready to be choked up. This story actually ran on CBS in 2009, but I was reintroduced to it today and I couldn’t help but sharing it again. It’s just too great. It ’s the story of a stray dog and a stray…elephant. I won’t bother explaining too much, just check this out!

Another reason to bring this story up again is that there is a follow up. And while not as incredible as the actual story, the follow up is pretty amazing in it’s own way. Spoiler – big money was turned down on principle!

Take an attempted crime, add the evening news, a charismatic interviewee and an autotuner…and what do you get? Auto-Tune the News!

The Gregory Brothers are a musical group, but they are most famous for the series of You Tube clips in which they use an autotuner on news anchors, politicians and the like. Here’s my favorite, it’s called “Bedroom Intruder”. The news reporter is interviewing Antione Dodson after a unknown assailant attempted to assault his sister.

If you find yourself liking it, maybe too much, you’re not alone. The song is available in Itunes and recently reached #25 their top 100 song chart!

I like Lindsay Lohan. 

I k now I’m in the minority here.  And, truth be told, I can’t explain why. 

It’s certainly not her acting skills, I can’t say I’ve even seen here in any movie except for A Prairie Home Companion, and she was terrible in that. 

It’s DEFINITELY not her singing ability.  I heard she was using her free time in jail to write songs that she will record as soon as she is released .  My first thought was, “I hope they keep her really busy”.

Is it her sophistication?  Bwah ha!  I’m pretty sure you could fill a small scrapbook of, well, inappropriate shots of Lindsay in public.

Is it her personal story?  Something beautiful growing out of despair?  Whatever, that’s thinking too much. 

One could argue that it’s obvious.  There are many, um, things that most males find attractive about L Lohan.  But it’s more than that.  There are plenty of other gals out there with similar attributes that I hope disappear tomorrow.  Example, anyone with an “ashian” in there name.  Or anyone named after a French city…

So, there really is no answer…I just like Lindsay Lohan.  I don’t want to see her in a movie, I don’t want to hear her sing…I don’t like anything she does.  I guess I just like the idea that she’s out there, existing.  Whatever she’s doing, I hope somebody’s taking pictures. 

I doubt that will be a problem anytime soon.

I hope when I’m this guy’s age (whatever that is) I can move it like this. Allright, I wish I could move it like this right now!

Check out this senior citizen tearing it up on the dancefloor to Lady Gaga’s “Pokerface” with guys half his age (unsuccessfully) trying to keep up! Make sure to watch until the end for his closing move…

YOW!

I love sports!  But, I may not be the best advocate for soccer.  I’m not REALLY sure what the rules are (except, don’t use your hands, everybody knows THAT!), I couldn’t tell you a single player on a foreign team and I’m not a sophisticated enough fan to appreciate a 0-0 tie.  It doesn’t help that my attention span is preeeeety much zero.

That said, I’ve missed a majority of the World Cup so far.  So thanks to Legos for helping me out!  If you missed the USA – England matchup on Saturday, here’s a thrilling recap of the game…Lego’s style!

Now, if Legos could re-create the MTV Movie awards, I might watch that too….no I won’t.

U S A ! U S A !

Is this Barack Obama? 

Gawker.com broke this story over the weekend that the gentleman pictured in this 1993 video for Tag Team’s “Whoomp There it is” is (perhaps) indeed the current President of the United States!  Hmmm, Obama would have been about 31, and he IS left handed…

O.K., realistically , it’s not.  Tag Team has come out publicly and said it’s NOT Obama, but a friend and fellow rapper named LA Sno (who actually looks nothing like Obama according to the duo).  But, I’m sure Tag Team has really enjoyed the press at least. 

So, as awesome as it would have been to have had our President in a cheesy 90’s rap video, we’ll have to settle for watching a cheesy 90’s rap video.  Catch the Obama doppelganger (Obamalganger?) at about 1:10.

  Enjoy!

I present to you, people sleeping where sleep should not be possible!

Do you think he started off on the bench, or the roof?

It does get tiring trying to push these things when the wheels lock up.

She was just going on and on and on….

At least it's not moving….now THAT would be impressive!

If this guy wakes up right now, he's not going to go back to sleep for loooong time.

Possibly the most zen thing I have ever seen…

There is not one part of this that looks comfortable. Not even those pillows. THERE'S PILLOWS IN THE BATHROOM!

 

We've all been there. Maybe not HERE, but there….

 Sleep tight, wherever you are!

It’s no secret that I love my bike. So OF COURSE I know that today is National Bike to Work Day! Good thing it’s supposed to be BEAUTIFUL out!

Buuuut, if you just can’t ride today, here’s a heads up. Denver’s Bike to Work Day is June 23rd. So you have a whole MONTH to get ready….no excuses.

Here’s a link with more info: Denver Bike to Work Day

Happy pedaling!

He’s been getting a lot of buzz….a LOT of buzz with his videotaped performance of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi”. (Notice, this school is chick city. Hardly dude in the crowd.)

BUT, the story doesn’t end with one cover song. This kid’s got talent to burn. Here’s Greyson, again on Youtube, with his ORIGINAL song “Stars”.

What were YOU up to in 6th grade?
